In accordance with the'" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

110 CFR 50.7 prohibits discrimination by a Commission licensee or a contractor or stbcontractor of a Commission licensee against an employee for engaging'in certain protected activities. Discrimination includes discharge or aber actions relating to the compensation, terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. 'The activities which are protected include, but are not limited to, reporting of safety concerns by an employee to his employer.

Contrary to the above, on February 2 and 4,1993, Stone & Webster Engineeri n Corporation, a contractor with the Tennessee Valley Authority- at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, discriminated against 6
