DearMr. Gibson:
1 1
This letter is written in response to yours of 3/8/96. Spaaiftaa11y, in your leuer, you have advised us that Messrs. Fields and Weiss are being considered for a possible enfacement action I
based on alleged apparem violations of certain Crystal River Nuclear Plant ("CRNP") Pro-
! cedures. You describe in your letter of 3/8/96 in Footnote 1 the appl! cable pmce.i that my j clients arguably may have violated. While we deny violating these procedures as written, we write to advise you that any =Hpsd enforcemem action agamst my clients would deny their right to due process oflaw given the unique facts of this case. Sag asszall%. Georgia Pacific v.

It is well settled that a stanne which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in taans

{ its application violates the first essemial of due process oflaw. Canaallv v Ga*=1 a

o conditions of gov-an= mal employment, and because my clients' NRC He==n are at stake based an vague and amblgoons plant procedures, we write to advise that we would consider any enforasmear action in this partionlar case to be p=Whi+=d by the Due Process Clause of the United States Consdtusian Whether in civil or criminal r--:- "ng= it is universally recogniand under the law that there exists a basic right to advance fair notice before paaalde may follow for alleged violations of proscribed rules of permissible -d=* AA Em=11 Co v. American R-Rafhingf.n. 267 U.S. 233, 239, 69 L.Ed. $89,45 S.Ct. 295 (1925). -
It appears that the essence of the NRC's consideration for escalated enfuu mem sedans against Messrs. Fields and Weiss is based on the allegation that they " conducted test without written safety evaluations." 'nie =~=d y allegation that the individuals " failed to follow Crystal River Plant Procedures for control of ==6= tank pressuit and level" has been ,
determined by the NRC OfEce ofInvesdgation to have been violated by 100% of the licensed operstnes at CRNP. San NRC fa= =~ ion Report 50-302/95 22. However, only Messrs. Fields and Weiss have been selected for esenlatad ufu. ..=,; actions. Therefore, the ds 2= = of what activities constitute a " test" for escalated enforcement actions is crucial.
No raaaaaahla construction of NRC rules and regalad- or FPC rocsiurus in existemos on September 4.1994 can lead to the conclusion that these safety conscious operators knew and fully unders:ood that their actions constituted a test. Regulatory sm.or. to define the term, ater the fact, to f!t the activities of Messrs. Fields and Weiss is arbitrary and capricious and in violation of their rights to due procoes.
When my cliams were first charged with alleged violations of CRNP rucedures in your July 7,1994 letter, no aHa*=4n of having conducted an "na=*hmi=3 test" was mandaaad In fact, during Mr. Fields OI interview on August 31,1995, Mr. McNulty acknnwiedged that the op .ica were not cited for having conducted a " test" because this term was not defined. Eisida IIanastiDE, page 124; It is fimdamemally unfair to threaten my clients' licenses to practice before the NRC when the apparent violations at issue are predicated upon CRNP piucedi.w which are so vague i that even the NRC cannot itself understand their maaing. In this regard, I wish to refer you to l Ine -aion Report 50 302/95-22. On page two in the synopsis of that report, the NRC authces decry "vanne nuidance providad to opemtors in p.ww.d for when pucedi. are adst[usta for evolutions being p-fe +i for alarm response times, and for da. ' 'ar when evnh*iane enandana a tee er -- - ' 2 a " In other words, the NRC's own experts have found that the roc.J.-.1 guidanaa pmvided to my ellame was no vagt. that they would not be able to Amesenine when evolutions might possibly constitute a test or experimenL N.# == M=g this nadaniahte vagunness, my cliams now appear before you in the comest of an ="--~i " apparent i

I In a separate la=-ade Report, number 50 302/95-13, on pages twelve and thirtesa l thereof, there is a review of management oversight and contml of the license activities at issue.
In hs own report, the NRC expressed its concern that management oversight and contml was not exsreisedto r.his the apparent intentinnal violation of plam rd.e. Indeed,inreviewmg
, the emire scenario, the NRC stated itself: "the mat cause of these issues appears to be a lack of j manassment oversight of the review process."
The CRNP procedures at issue are so vague, so inartfully drafted and provided such
! poor gnidaaae for my clients that it would be fimd= mane =11y unfair (and, in myjad =-=
{ unconstinnianal) to take enforcement action against them. The Due Process Clause requires that j these men be given fair advance notice of what is ==-atad_ of them before they can be placed in
{ jeopardy for having knowingly or deliberately violated proscribed standards of conduct. Because
{ they did not receive fair notice, because the notice they received via the plant procedures was l vague, ambiguous, and in some instances, completely lacking, and haa-a= their int r. on of j the poor s'dd aee offered by way ofimprecise and poorly drafted procedures was reasonable, it l is . ye,.fally submitted that the NRC cannot pursue any estwn ruest acuan against these j individuals without violating their :ights to due process of law.
I ~
! Clearly, there was no deliberate misconduct here. There also was no willfulInissolubs.
! While my clients intended to do what they did, they sincerely believed their actions were bounded by pre-safety eyrw.d plant procedures. They were victimized by FPC's lack of
, precision in the creation and tu ^ ===W of the procedures they referred to for gaidana .
