INTIMIDATION i

It has come to my attention that my memorandum to you dated September 25*, 1984, i could be misleading with regard to the staff's position on intimidation at Conanthe Feak and EGAG's scope of work on this issue. .

(See memorandum enclosed.) a t

This memorandum is to clarify that the staff has not taken a position on perva-

sive intimidation at Comanche Peak and tc define the overall task EG&G was con-  !

! tracted to perform. The EG&G effort was not directed at an independent assess- r ment through interviewing individuals etc., and thus does not constitute, by it- i self, 'an overall assessment of the intimidation and harassment issue for the  :

i Comanche Peak project. The EG8G report will be used as one input into our  !

assessment of widespread intimidation at Comanche Peak. .

The EG&G team was ass'embled to investigate and forIn an opinion regarding alle-  :

gations of intimidation of inspection personnel on the part of management at

• the Comanche Peak power plant. This was to be done by reviewing allegations  ;

of intimidation in depositions, several NRC Office of Investigation Reports, a Comanche Peak Special Review Team Report, survey responses from an applicant  ;

2 conducted survey of its 0A/QC personnel, and other reports and data seen as  !

relevant in naking a judgement concerning charges of management intimi,dation.  !

~

% j The basic question the team was requested to attempt to answer was: Did manage-.  ;

ment by its actions create 'an atmosphere of intimidation for the QA/QC. inspec-  !

tors such that they performed their duties in a way that there is some likeli-hood of impact on the safety and quality of the plant. i I hope this memorandum has provided the necessary clarification. i L
