SEP 2 7 1982 MEMORANDUM FOR:

J. E. Foster, Acting Director, Office of Investigation, Ch cago Field Office

]W THROUGH:

C. E. Norelius, Director, Division of Engineering and Technical Programs FROM:

W. S. Little, Chief, Division of Engineering Programs

SUBJECT:

FERMI II DOCKET 50-341.

INSPECTION OF ELECTRICAL CABLE RACEWAY INSTALLATIONS BY L. K. COMSTOCK COMPANY During an inspection performed at Fermi II during September 8-10, 1982, B. H. Little and K. R. Naidu, the inspectors determined that they received conflicting statements from L. K. Comstock (LKC QC Manager nd QC Super-visors and one QC inspector (an alleger) named relative to:

(1) the voiding of a Deviation Di osi 19, 1982; and (2) the firing of

~on Request (DDR) #1757 dated May for alleged administrative reasons, coincidental with learning of his contacting NRC regarding inaccuracies in electrical construction and inadequate QC.

Details of other construction and QC discrepancies are documented in Region III Inspection Report #50-341/82-14(DETP).

The inspectors, K. Naidu and B. Little, indicate that the above issues demonstrate imprudence on the part of licensee / contractor management and implicit intimidation of an individual who came to the NRC with issues he felt could not have been otherwise correctly resolved.

i Because of the NRC inspector involvement ear the entirety of the actions which apparently exacerabated relationship with his management, leading to his separation (firing) immediately after the con-duct of the associated inspection, we recommend an immediate NRC investigation.
