SUBJECT:

Application of Texas Utilities Generating Company, et al. for an Operating License for Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station Units #1 and #2 (CPSES)

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 hearings 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 imediate 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 catastr6phic accidents at operating l

nuclear plants." He goes on to express his concerns regarding confidentiality

! and protection for whistleblowers and his belief that "even now the utility is l correcting and covering up the specific supports which I documented in my testi-mony and that by the time the NRC makes its report..about_nly_ allegations, they will problems I pointed'out and that say that the Applicants have already corrected the Applicants have already corrected the problems th,e,Tjointed' out and'that every-

~

thing's fine now. This will leave all the other numer60s'stippor~ts ' unchanged and still defective, but may enable the utility to go ahe'ad and get its operat-ing license."

Mr. Doyle also discusses " documentation to pr6ve 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.
