James E. Wells, Jr. v. Kansas Gas and Electric Company, Case No. 85-ERA-0022

Dear Mr. Secretary:

I am writing you concerning a letter dated January 20, 1987 which you received from Chairman Lando W Zech, Jr. of the NRC.

In that letter, the Comission provided coments on one aspect nf the Administrative Law Judge's recomended remedy in the above-captioned case.

I did not join in the Comission's letter, and-under Comission procedures, I must provide any separate comments to you in my own letter.

I did r.ot. join in the Comission's letter because I do not consider it appropriate for the Comission to interpose itself into the adjudicatory process of your agency.

Further, I believe that if the Comission felt it necessary to inform you of the requirements of our regulations and the workings-of our licensees' access authorization programs, that those coments should have been limited to general descriptions. The Comission should not have comented-on the particular. circumstances of the Wells case, nor should it.have made legal arguments which would be more appropriately made by the parties to the proceeding.

I hope these coments are useful to you when you consider the Comission's Sincerely,

~

i Dr. Schalon based his recommendation that Wells not be granted unescorted access on the total of the testing he did of

Wells, Wells' interview

behavior, and the information provided in' Wells '

background report. (Tr. 429). He met Wells for the first time after Nells had - f taken an MMPI test and the test had been graded. (Tr. ll 414). Wells had refused to sign a release to_KG&E which Dr. Schalon found very questionable since Wells knew it was a part of the required process. (Tr. 417, 459). This was l the first time that Dr. Schalon had done any kind of employment screening when the individual refused to sign a l release on the initial interview. (Tr. 414). I Because of a high score on one of the validity scales on the initial MMPI indicating. defensiveness, Dr. Schalon told Wells that he would like him to retake the test. (Tr. l 4 7

M .i 414). Wells became very upset at this suggestion and said that he was very surprised that Dr. Schalon did not know that he had been terminated and was under a court order to be rehired. (Tr. 414). Several times during the interview, in an abrasive manner, Wells noted that this was Dr. Schalon's first MMPI for KG&E. (Tr. 418). Wells repeatedly asked Dr. Schalon to go over specific items on the initial MMPI that indicated that he was defensive in taking the test. (Tr. 414). Wells appeared to Dr. Schalon I. to be quite defensive, even hostile. (Tr. 416). 1 l l Dr. Schalon expected an individual to be cautious to some degree under those circumstances,-but did not expect the degree of defensiveness Wells showed. (Tr. 454-55). 5 Dr. Schalon believes that defensiveness may be associated g. g'! with aggressive response to authority and one manifestation of an aggressive response to authority can be unreliability in general. (Tr. 475). Dr. Schalon is not of the opinion that Wells' circumstances would normally cause an I individual to generalize hostility toward authority figures the way Wells did. (Tr. 460). .f In addition to the high score on a validity scale, Wells' initial MMPI showed a high score on Scale 4, a low h i sco~e on Scale 0 and a high score on the McAndrews Scale F' #

e I which measures a propensity toward alcoholism. (Def. Ex. 6). I Wells returned to Dr. Schalon's office to retake the 1 MMPI on November 2, 1984. (Tr. 416-17). The second test resulted in a dramatic change in profile. (Tr. 419; Def. Ex. 7). The McAndrews Scale was even higher and Dr. Schalon had concern about the low score on Scale 0 which 1 indicates brusqueness, abruptness, and attempts to bull one's way through situations. (Tr. 41 r -19 ). After reviewing the profile, Dr. Schalon wanted to discuss with Wells the possibility of problems with alcohol or drugs. (Tr. 417). In response to questions about drugs and alcohol, Wells vaguely indicated some relative may have had a problem and then denied that anyone had a problem. (Tr. 417). Dr. Schalon also ques cioned -Wells about possible l problems on the job, with ;he pol.;e, etc. and Wells denied any history of any problems, but was very guarded. (Tr. i 417). Wells (in this interview or the earlier one) showed suspiciousness, turning over the MMPI answer sheet and asking Dr. Schalon if he was sure it was his answer sheet. (Tr. 421). As he had in the initial interview, Wells appeared very defensive and hostile. (Tr. 416), t ! I I L

M Dr. Schalon determined that he could recommend only 4 that Wells be provisionally accepted for rehire and told Wells that he was going to make that recommendation. Wells I became very antagonictic and said that it was clearly unacceptable. (Tr. 418). After this second interview, Dr. Schalon called KG&E l and recommended that Wells be provisionally hired or rehired. (Tr. 420). He was told that provisional hiring was impossible and ~that Wells would either have to be recommended for unescorted access or escorted access. (Tr. l 420). Provisional hiring is not an option peruitted by any of KG&E policies or the standards and guides on which they are based. (Def. Ex. 1; Def. Ex. 2; Def. Ex. 3; Def. Ex. g f e l 4). Dr. Schalon then requested additional, background information and was asked to submit a written request. l (Tr. 420). Upon receipt of the request, counsel for KG&E called Dr. Schalcn. to inquire about whether the request for l background information was prompted by any information that ) KG&E might have provided. Dr. Schalon assured counsel that the request for information was prompted only by Wells' interview behavior. (Tr. 422). KG&E then provided the background report which had been prepared by Equifax.. -. - -

o i f Services in August 1983 and an updated version which had been received in late December 1984 or early January 1985. (Tr. 259; C1. Ex. 14). Dr. Schalon reviewed the background reports in the context of Wells' MMPI profiles and the recommendations of the NRC Draft Regulatory Guide. As the Guide suggested, he looked for problems revealing

anger, problems with reliability on the job, temper and related issues.

(Tr. 486). He noted that Wells was not eligible for rehire due i to unsatisfactory job performance at Carolina Power & Light Company where he had worked for~approximately nine months, that there were some problems with his attendance and tardiness and that he had some problem getting along with l co-workers. (Tr. 424). Dr. Schalon noted that Wells' termination from Stone & Webster, where he had worked for a couple of weeks ~, was voluntary, but that the company would make no recommendation regarding his re-employment. (Tr. 125). Dr. Schalon was looking for areas of difficulty because he assumes a good employment history. (Tr. 482). He was interested and concerned about these employment problems because of Wells' interview behavior and because of the indications on the MMPI test.- He wanted to assess I whether the anger and abrasiveness that Wells had shown was l l l l l I related to prior employment problems, to see if he had a history of that kind of behavior. (Tr. 413). Dr. Schalon noted that the report stated that there was conflicting information regarding Wells' reliability and dependability. (Tr. 426). A number of personal references reported that Wells' temper was easily provoked. (Tr. 427) He had seen evidence of that in his interview in that the very process of the examination seemed to provoke Wells. He saw Wells' temper as a theme in the background report. (Tr. 489). He viewed this in the context of an assumption that personal references provided by an applicant would likely be favorable. (Tr. 489). With respect to the first of the behavioral unreliability criteria in the NRC Draft Regulatory Guide, " argumentative hostility toward authority," Dr. Schalon interpreted Wells' interview behavior, his abrasiveness and attempts to direct him, as an inability to deal with the l supervisor or an authority's direction on how something shouli be done. (Tr. 430). With respect to the second of the behavioral unreliability

criteria,

" irresponsibility," Dr. Schalon noted that one of the items mentioned in the Guide was being frequently tardy or absent from the job and that the,

l1 ~' l 1l l i background information showed attendance problems. (Tr. 430-31). With respect to the third of the behavioral l unreliability cri teria, " defensive incompetence," including such behavior as covering up mistakes, failing to inform others of relevant information, Dr. Schalon had the impression in the interview that Wells was failing to provide him with relevant information. (Tr. 431). It is interesting to note that this impression was well founded since it appears that Wells was considerably more forthcoming with relevant information when talking with Dr. Sippola. (C1. Ex. 16). I With respect to the fifth of the behavioral unreliability

criteria,

" emotional and personal inadaptability," including such beha'v-io r as mood swings, social i s ola t ion', disorientation, and lack of appropriate emo t i.onal responses, Dr. Schalon questioned the 1 appropriateness of Wells' emotional response to the that he interview process and questioned the suspiciousness showed. (Tr. 431). Having tested Wells, having interviewed him, and having reviewed the background check, Dr. Schalon expressed his I opinion that Wells should not be granted unescorted access I. 1 9
