On 8/23/95 at 8:20 am, Mike Weber (DRSS) received a call from a concerned individual (CI) who was present at the above listed company last weekend. The CI stated that during the weekend, when the facility was shut down and only a few workers'were present, he observed some electricians installing iighting.
The electricians were working by themselves (without any coverage from the Health Physics (HP) staff), and were not wearing any type of protective clothing, radiation monitors, etc. An engineer observed the electricians and requested that they leave the work location and report to HP.

[ Note from M. Weber - the above information is what I heard over the phone. l During the rest of tha phone call, we were constantly interrupted by an operator informing *.he CI that additional money was needed to continue the call. I repeatedly asked the CI if he'd like to call collect, but he never responded, he just kept talking - this was occurring at the same time that the 1 operator was asking for additional money. Therefore, it was very difficult to !
hear the CI, so the next paragraph is the best that I can piece together.]
]
The engineer remained at the work location and took pictures of the work area.
Shortly thereafter, someone from Foster-Wheller, the contractor responsible for the site decontamination work, ordered the engineer off site, claiming that the engineer shouldn't have told the electricians to go to HP, and that the engineer shouldn't have been taking photographs. The CI expressed concern .
that the electricians were working without HP support. He also didn't think that it was right that the engineer was ordered off site.
i The CI then abruptly terminated the call before Mike could obtain the CI's name, address, or telephone number.
