SUBJECT:

NRC OFFICE OF INVESTIGATIONS REPORT NO. 3-1998-013 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR CASE NOS. 97-ERA-34 AND ARB-S8-016

Dear Mr. Edleman:

This letter is in reference to investigations conducted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Office of Investigations (OI) and the U.S. Department of Labor into alleged employment discrimination by managem of the Morrison Knudsen Corporation (MK) against an employee in the MK corporate office, Cleveland, OH, in apparent violation of 10 CFR 50.7,

" Employee Protection." At the time of the apparent violation, MK was involved in the i

replacement of steam generators at the Wisconsin Electric Power Company's Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant. A predecisional enforcement conference was held on January 26,1999.

Based upon a review of the evidence developed during the investigations and the predecisional enforcement conference, the NRC has concluded that enforcement action against you is not warranted in this matter.

All final NRC documents, including the final Ol investigation report, are official agency records and may be made available to the public under the Freedom of Information Act (FOlA), subject to redaction of information in accordance with FOIA.

Enclosed is a copy of the enforcement action that was issued to MK as a result of the investigation. A copy of the synopsis of the Ol report was provided to you by letter dated January 8,1999. If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please co.itact Mr. Michael Stein, NRC Office of Enforcement at telephone number (301) 415-1688.

Sincerely, I.d.L Richard W. Borchardt Director, Office of Enforcement
