SUBJECT:

01 REPORT 4-95-004; RE: ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE: ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION STEPS AND TERMINATION FOR REFUSAL TO FALSIFY i

The above captioned 0! report involves an allegation that a former employee was the subject of discrimination and was terminated because he refused to sign off on Controlled Work Packages (CWP) used to install fire barrier

- penetration seals as being complete without performing all required work steps. The former employee stated that his supervisor went into his locker workretrieved and steps. Athe CWP, and had a superintendent sign-off as completing the review of this matter by the Region IV technical staff and Regional Counsel determined that the procedure requiring the CWP work steps was not an NRC record requirement; however, the alleger's supervisor admitted that he caused a superintendent to falsify information on the CWP by informing him'that all work steps had been completed which he knew was not correct.

The findings of'the OI report-indicate that some action with regard to the licensee and the individual may be warranted in this case. By copy of this memorandum, I am requesting that OGC analyze the report and determine whether there is sufficient evidence to support regulatory action. OE has assigned EA 96-178 to track this case.

Garry Harris of my staff has' discussed this case with members of the NRR and OGC staffs and arranged a telephone conference for June 6,1996 at 1:30 p.m.

l to discuss the issues. Regional Staff may participate by calling my office at (301) 415-2741; those in headquarters may attend in Room 07-H-1. If there is

a significar& scheduling problem, please call me as soon as possible as an L

alternate tsme can be arranged..
