SUBJECT:
NRC tovestigation Report 1-96-033
Dear Mr. Kelley:
This refers to the NRC investigation conducted at the Limerick Generating Station, f Limerick, Pensylvania, documenting that you falsified fire protection surveillances while in your former position as a fire protection technical assistant at Lin= rick. Based
' on the investigation, the NRC Office of Investigations (OI) reviewed the PECO Energy
, Company (PECO) internal investigation that found that you deliberately failed to do certain tests, yet falsified the related documentation; and you failed to enter a specific area necessary to complete a fire suppression water system spray and sprinkler visual inspection for which you had signed documentation indicating that the visual inspection had been successfully completed. You admitted your role in the falsification to PECO security. As a result, in part, of yeut actions, the NRC has issued a civil penalty to PECO on this date (enclosed).
The NRC has decided not to take enforcement a etion against you becace of your position within the company, your cooperation with the investigation, and your apparent forthright testimony. -While formal enforcement action is not being taken against you, you should be aware that the NRC regulations allow the issuance of civil sanctions to be taken directly against unlicensed persons who, through their deliberate misconduct, cause a licensee to be in violation of NRC requirements. Deliberate misconduct includes an intentional act or omission that the person knows constitutes a violation of a requirement, procedure or training instruction. An order may also be issued to an individual to prevent his or her engaging in licensed activities at all NRC licensed facilities. A violation of this regulation as set forth in 10 CFR 50.5,
" Deliberate Misconduct", may also lead to cruninal prosecution. Similar failures in the I future could lead to formal NRC enforcement action against you.
You are not required to respond to this letter. However, if you choose to provide a response, please provide it to me within 30 days at U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region I, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,475 Allendale Road, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406. , , , , , _ , , , _ _ ,, . 2 ,,u This letter, and your response to this letter, if you choose to submit one, are not being i placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) at this time. However, they are official agency records and are subject to public release under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) if an appropriate request is submitted. If they are released in response to a FOIA request, any information that would constitute a clearly 7

s INDEX OF CONCERNS Rll-1996-A-00G3 CONCERN: 1 e DESCRIPTION: TWO INDMDUALS FAILED TO PERFORM REQUIRED FIRE WATCH PATROLS AND FALSIFIED RECORDS TO INDICATE THE PATROLS WERE PERFORMED. (LICENSEE SUBMITTED LER)
RESOLUTION: 01 initiated this investigation on March 22,1996, to determine if two firewatch personnel who were formerly employed at the TVA Sequoyah Plant, failed to patrol their assigned areas and documented the firewatch joumals as though they had completed their patrol.
The evidence developed during this investigation substantiated that both firewatch personnel failed to patrol their essigned firewatch areas and falsified their firewatch journals by claiming these areas were inspected.
I a The evidence did not substantiate that their actions were intentional or willful.

i TVA letter: -\
The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason for the violation, the corrective actions taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence and the date when full compliance will be achieved has already been adequately addressed during the predecisional enforement conference and in your letter of January 4, 1996. Therefore, you are not required to respond to this letter on these issues, unless the information you have provided does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or your position. You are required '
to respond to the proposed imposition of civil penalty and should do so in accordance with the instructions in the Notice of Violation.
i l
SWEC Letter: Add to end of para .......with the most recent meeting occurring after the SOL's Decision and Order. . . . . . . . . Finally, and importantly, in your letter of January 3, 1996, you have indicated that you have undertaken to compensate Mr. Harrison in compliance with the SOL's Decision and Order.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions !
specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) when preparing your response. In your response, you should document the specific actions taken ]
~
and any additional actions you plan to prevent recurrence. Specifically, as a major contractor to Commission licensees, it is important that your supervisors and managers fully understand that employees should be free to raise concerns and that discrimination will not be tolerated. Therefore, you are required to paovide a written response addressing the actions taken or planned to assure that your managers working on contracts for Commission licensees have received adequate training in implementation of the requirements of Section 211 of the ERA and 10 CFR 50.7. In addition, your response should describe the actions taken or planaed to assure that the 1 subject employment action did not have a chilling effect in discouraging other SWEC employees from raising real or perceived safety concerns. Your response should be submitted under oath or affirmation and may reference or include previously docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. After reviewing your m ponse to this Notice, including your proposed corrective actions m results of future inspections, the NRC will determine whether atoer NRC enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with NRC reg. itory requirements. ,

TVA Nucient Encoumges Onen Communientions TVA Nuclear officials said TVA is continuing to provide an open environment for raising safety concerns at its facilities following notification of a proposed $80,000 fine by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for an incident that occurred several years ago.
" Safety is the first priority at all of TVA's nuclear power facilities," said Oliver Kingsley, president, TVA Nuclear. "All employees and contract workers have a duty to express safety and quality concems, and we will continue to ensure a working j 1
environment where they can do so without fear of reprisal."
The incident that resulted in the proposed penalty occurred at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant in early 199?, when an employee working for Stone and Webster Engineering Corp. aller,ed that he was demoted for raising fire protection-related issues.
Although TVA personnel were not involved in the incident, the NRC holds TVA responsible for the actions.of its contractors.
TVA took prompt actions to respond to the matter, and this was recognized by the NRC. Actions taken by TVA included having the Inspector General investigate the matter and requesting SWEC to provide written steps it would take to ensure employees felt free to express safety issues.

2-The allegations were not substantir.ted in reviews by TVA's Ofiice ofInspec:or General, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Office of Investigations, or the Dei . ent ofLabor Wage and Hour Division and Administrative Law Judge decisions.
However, the Secretary of Labo: overturned the ALJ's decision and found SWEC took actions against the individual for raising safety concerns.
" Surveys conducted since 1993 by TVA and NRC show that employees and contractors at the nuclear power plants feel free to raise safety concerns," said Kingsley.
"We recognize efforts must continue in this area; however, the actions TVA has taken to date have resulted in a more open and honest environment at our facilities. We will continue to encourage employees and contractors to bring concerns to the attention of snannynf "
TVA is reviewing the notice of violation and will respond to the NRC within the required timeframe.

This violation was identified during an investigation by the NRC Office of Investigation and was issued to the licensee by NRC's letter dated March 14,1997. TVA responded to this violation by letter dated 'une 9,1997. This response provided additional information on the fire watch violation at Sequoyah and reque&d that the characterization of this violation be changed to a non-cited violation, since the licensee identified the violation, took immediate corrective action and reported the violation to the NRC. TVA's response also provided a description of the management oversight of the Sequoyah fire watch program, including the disciplinary action taken against the personnel who failed to perform required fire watch duties; an explanation of the
. reasons the bar code reader initially used to document the fire watch rounds was discontinued and a description of the scanner device currently being used to verify that !
the fire watch patrols were being properly performed; and the training provided for the fire watch personnal.
Based on NRC's evaluation of the licensee's response and information obtained during an inspection performed in March 1997, that was documented by NRC Inspection Report 50-327, 328/97-03, this Severity Level IV violation has been changed to a non-cited violation and is identified as NCV 50-327,328/97-08-xx.

March 30, 1993 Office of the Administrator Wage and Hour Division Employment Standards Administration Room 53502 U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, NW Washington, DC. 20210 To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Douglas Harrison. I art. Employed by Stone &
Webster Engineering Corporation, who is a contractor at Browns
~
Ferry Nuclear Plant in Decatur, Alabama.
i
~ I My position there was General Foreman. On February 1, 1993, I conducted our weekly safet;y meeting. The workers who worked '
for me brought up the subject of firewatch in the drywell in Unit 3 Reactor. Their concern was that adequate coverage was not being obtained the way it was being carried out. This concern i arose from the worker's being taught one thing at the firewatch training that they received . from the employer and supervision implementing something different. The foreman over these workers I
also had brought this up once before. So that day after the i
safety meeting I decided to see what I could do about this l problem.
As a part of my general foreman duties I was to make sure L that everybody was on the same page. The first place I went was to firewatch training and spoke with David White or David Jones.
He said that Stone & Webster had not been following the firewatch procedure since work started in the U-3-Drywell. He advised me to go to fire protection which is controlled and maintained by I~ T.V.A. and talk to Mr. R.V. White.
In talking with Mr. White he said that he would look into the matter and told me to have Steve Ealey call or come by to see him.
After leaving fire protection I decided to get with the firewatch general foreman over the labors and talk .with Steve Ealey. We met with Mr. Ealey at his office and talked about the problem. Mr. Ealey was adamant about the number of hour.s that was being used by the labors for firewatch. 'After the discussion it was agreed that the firewatch would have more men per ' entry into the drywell as to have adequate protection for fire protection.
However, the next day they had the same amount of labors on firewatch. f:o I started again at fire protection and was told
/[]l
o I ,
that Mr. Ealey had never contacted thcm at all. I informed them that the problem .was still there. I don't know what happened after that.
When I left fire protection I attended a class for Discrimination against Minoritieu. After that class I was informed that I was being cut back to foreman which is about a two dollar reduction in pay. After civing it some thought I decided I would not let them penalize ~one of my foreman for me trying to make Stone & Webster adhere to the fire protection. So I told my supervisor to cut me back to just a laborer and leave my two foreman where they were. The reason for me doing all I could do to get this problem resolve was to insure that a.nyone working for me was in compliance with plant procedure. l l
There are some ir>n workers I know wr.a can't work et Brown's 1 Ferry until 1999 for not following procedure. I feel that I was singled out because I was attempting to keep my foreman and men in compliance with the plant's rules.
The next morning after I was cut back, I informed the men and they refused to work without proper fire protection. Mr.
Ealey at this time made the moves necessary to correct the problem. After this, all the men knew I had been hung out to dry. If another problem like this arises no one will say anything for fear of retaliation by Stone & Webster management.
After being cut back.I was transferred out of the drywell to a different job.
This needs to be addressed so craftsmen can work and report unsafe practices without worry for their job.
S cerel yours, f W $O W I Doug as W. Harrison
