NRC ENFORCEMENT CONFERENCE

D ,!

OCTOBER 20, 1988

GPb NUCLEAR VIEWS ON APPLICATION OF

NRC ENFOhrEMENT POLICY TO THE O! SYNOPSIS

While the O! Synopsia does not use the phrase "Haterial

False Statement," it concludes that GPUN provided false in-

formation to the NRC Ouring the December 5,

1985 telephone

co.tfererce "vitn care 10ss disregard for its accuricy and

completeness."

In adopting its final rule on Completeness and Accuracy of

Informatio3 on December 24, 1987, the Commission noted that

the term "naterial f alse statement" may be applied to cir-

cumstances cf "careless disregard" for completeness and ac-

curacy, where

bare is "a reckless regard or callou,9 indif-

forence towards one's responsibilities or the consequences

of one's actions."

The Appendix C (10 CFR 2) Enforcement Policy applies to the

alleged communication violation (not the separate EQ en-

forcement policy).

In adopting its rule, the Commission stated:

"a charge of

material false statement is equated by most people with

l

lying and an intention to mislead.

Because of this connota-

i

tion, the Commission believes the charge should be reserved

for such communication f ailures."

".

. the Commission is

.

reserving the use of this label as an addition.t enforcement

tool in egregious situations, which vill be determined on a

case-by-case basis."

"The Commission expects to use the

term rarely because with the adoption of this rule, the Com-

mission vill have the mechanism to apply the full range of

enforcement sanctions to inae urate communications or

records without reliance on ',he term material f alse state-

ment.'

'

The Commission reiterated that prior consultation with the

Commission vill continue for those cases in which the staff

recommends using the material false statement label.

The Commission also recognized the reasons why oral in-

l

farmation may in some situations be inherently less reliable

l

than written submittals.

In considering enforcement action on the communication, note

the short life of the inaccuracy, and the fact that if the

correct information had been provided initially, no adverse

regulatory action vould have been varranted.
