The interview was conducted under oath at Yankee Atomic Energy Comoany, 580 Main Street, Bolton, MA 01740. CLARK was re) resented during the interview by Jeremiah O'SULLIVAN, Attorney at Law, C1oate, Hall & Stewart, Exchange Place, 53 State Street, Boston, MA 02109 2891. 0'SULLIVAN's telephone number is (617) 248 5000. CLARK stated that O'SULLIVAN personally represented hi'n during the interview, although O'SULLIVAN instructed CLARK to not answer that question. CLARK stated that he was not under any pressure from YankBe Atomic Energy Company (YAEC) management to have O'SULLIVAN represent him during the interview. CLARK provided the following information regarding an allegation that former Vermont Yankee (VY) employee James MASSEY was discriminated against because he had raised concerns with a design change for the VY Advanced Off Gas System (A0GS).

CLARK stated that he was chosen to be one of the three members of the

" Investigation of Certain Anonymous Allegations Concerning the Advanced Off-Gas System at Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station," to act in a independent cverview and oversight role, and to insure that the team functioned correctly end independently. His specific assignment was to insure that the required resources and employees were available to the team during the conduct of the investigation. Michael GOSEKAMP and David McELWEE (team leader) were the other team members. CLARK stated that neither GOSEKAMP nor McELWEE expressed any concerns to him that they were harassed during the investigation or suffered any retaliation as a result of participating in it.

CLARK :tated that, prior to beginning the interviews of employees associated with the A0GS, the team develo>ed a list of prepared questions which they wanted to ask every employee tlat they interviewed. CLARK said that, initially MASSEY Jefused to be interviewed, but that eventually MASLEY_came over to the interview room. CLARK said that when MASSEY arrived atT he interview room he a>peared very agitated and' told the teac that he didn't want to talk to them wit 1out his attorney being present. CLARK said that the team tried to get-MASSEY to answer some of the )repared questions, but MASSEY l wouldn't answer and began to walk out of tie interview room. CLARK said that, at that point, he asked MASSEY something to the effect of, "do you mind if I ask you one thing? Is there a plant safety issue with the A0GS that' I need to do something about?". CLARK said that MASSEY replied, "no, there was not that '

(

kind of issue," snd then sat down and answered a few more questions as indicated on the transcribed notes of MASSEY's interview (attached). CLARK C stated that after the interview was completed, and MASSEY had left the room, cAsENO. 1-96-005' T~

CLARK-stated that, due to inforwetion tridt the tesm d!unwred during the course of the investigat10n. specifically that MAUiU wrote on certain documents that there was a plant safety issue 'aith the A0GS, the team discussed with VY Vice President Don Rfl0 whetner MAYJ' should be re-interviewed by dei team to clarify the inconsistencies between what MASSEY had told them and what MASSEY had alleged in writing during the design change picject.. CLARK said that REID decided that MASSEY did not need to be re-interviewed, but that the team would pursue the inconsistencies by interviewing the engineers, instrumentation and control tech,11cf ans, and O wrations department employees who had worked on the system and/or the design c1ange project. CLARK said that review did not uncover any information that there was a plant nuclear safety issue with the A0GS. CLARK added that their conclusion was supported by the fact that the NRC insactions of the A0GS also did not uncover any safety issues with the A0GS. CLAE stated that if, during the course of the team investigation or review of the NRC inspection reports, he had learned that there was a safety concern or .that an individual had a potential safety concern, he would have acted on patinforma .

4. Propose 1 improvement in processes or practices that enhance the productivity of the department. Additional proposals, improvements of higher sir.nificance, or of wider impact will result in higher rating.

Evaluation Rating d Jim's major productivity improvement this year was incorporated into the design of the mah.

transformer replacement. At Jim's insistence the new transformer was digned such that all termination pomts would be as close to the existing transformer as possible. This was done for

( two purposes. One to make the replacement as easy and error free as possible, and second to make future use of the old transformer possible without having to have a design change since the existing plant drawings showing all mterconnections are the same for both transformers.

While not directly dealing *with improving department productivity it is felt to be an significant overall plant producti ' rovement and thus rated under this goal.

Upcates to the schedule will be ?rogfi5$ to the department supervisor in a timely manner to insure the design change schedu e is maintained up to date.

EvaluatiN Rating [ b Jim was assigned one design over this year, the Main Transformer Replacement. He was a n.ajor contributor to design and is directly responsible for the design quality. The YNSD CE was inexperienced in transformers and design and installation requirements. Jim identified numerous errors in design and insured that they were addressed. He also addressed numerous C-items in the design which, when included as part of the design, will greatly enhance future maintenance etforts. /) A PRI -

Due to the magnitude of the main trusformer project Jim was not assigned any direct commitments. He was active however in providing susistance to other engineers in the installation area. Several of engineers in the departirent have not.had direct exjyrience in construction activ,ities and dealings with the contractor. Jim was assigned the task 5T providing assistance to others in this area and has proved to be a reservoir of knowledge in this area which he has willingly shared to the benefit of all. 'Ihe main detractor to Jim's this area is his resistance to assuming non-construction administrative duties.

q f All Jim's o projects were properly prepared and were implemented during the outage. The Main Transformer replacem_ent was especially difficult to prepare for due to the late selection of the installation contractor. Jim overcame this difficulty and many others during the implementation to insure that the installation was completed as scheduled during the outage.

Evaluation Rating 8 Expenditures on Jim's project were managed such that the projects c:, % under the approved budget.

Budget updates were provided when directed. Due to Jim's research and innovation rehme to the routing of the Vernon Tie cable, an alternate method was utilized to cross the stream between VY and the Vernon Hydro station resulting in significant savings in the overall project cost.
