\\***] l February 12, 1997 MEMORANDUM T0:
Luis Reyes, Regional Administrator Region II Frank J. Miraglia, Acting Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Jack R. Goldberg, Deputy Assistant General Counsel for Enforcement Office th Ge 1
1 FROM:
Mark A. Satorius, puty Director Office of Enforcement
SUBJECT:
01 REPORT 2-96-009; RE:
SEQUOYAH, ALLEGED FALSIFICATION OF FIREWATCH JOURNALS The above captioned 0I report involves an allegation that two firewatch personnel failed to patrol their assigned areas and documented the firewatch journals as though they had completed their patrol. Although 01 did not substantiate that the employees' actions were either intentional or willful, the evidence developed substantiates that both individuals failed to patrol their assigned areas and falsified their firewatch journals.
Both individuals j
were subsequently terminated.
Because 01 did not substantiate willfulness, I do not intend to request an OGC analysis of this report or request a multi-office meeting. However, enforcement action may be warranted against the licensee as well as the individuals. Therefore, the region should be prepared to address the enforcement implications associated with the inaccurate information and failure to follow procedures during the regularly scheduled enforcement panel on February 19, 1997.
If your staff cannot support this schedule, please contact Rende Pedersen of my staff at 301-415-2742 as soon as possible.
