SUBJECT:
01 REPORT 4-95-004; RE: ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE: ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION AND TERMINATION FOR REFUSAL TO FALSIFY STEPS 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 and retrieved the CWP, and had a superintendent sign-off as completing the work steps.
A 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.
to discuss the issues. Regional Staff may participate by calling my office at l
(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..
