Affidavit of Jack Doyle As indicated in CASE's 1/11/83 Written Argument on Issues (page 2), we are attaching copies of the sworn affidavit of CASE witness Jack Doyle.

\

In that affidavit, Mr. Doyle indicates that he believes he has been blacklisted because he testified at the Comanche Peak bearings and that he has been unable to find a job since that time, although he has applied for positions where other ,

people were being hired. He calls on the NRC to "take irrnediate and stringent measures to put a stop to this insidious practice" and states "Until such action is taken, nuclear plants in this country will continue to be built unsafely and the ultimate result will be future possibly catastrophic accidents at operating nuclear plants." He goes on to express'.his concerns regarding confidentiality z

and protection for whistleblowers and his belief that "even now the utility is correcting and covering up the specific supports which I documented in nly testi-mony and that by the time the NRC makes its report about my allegations, they will say that the Applicants have already corrected the problems I pointed out and that the Applicants have already corrected the problems I pointed out and that every-thing's fine now. This will leave all the other numerous supports unchanged and still defective, but may enable the utility to go ahead and get its operat-ing license."

Mr. Doyle also discusses " documentation to prove that fatal engineering faults exist, on a vast scale, in the safety systems of (13) nuclear units, including Comanche Peak."

We ask that this affidavit be considered in your deliberations. 3CJ '
