Subject:

Investigation No. 50-278/1-85-019 Enclosed is a Report of Investigation concerning alleged threats to employees to prevent disclosure of possible overexposure information to the NRC. The investigation sought to determine if the employment of a Bartlett Nuclear Inc.

(BNI), contract Senior Health Physicist (HP) was terminated at the Peach Bottom

, Atomic Power Station (PBApS) as a result of his engaging in a protected acti-vity. A second objective of this investigation was to determine if the BNI HP was " blackballed" following his termination from PBAPS when he attempted to l gain employment at another nuclear facility. The investigation disclosed that the BNI HP did have legitimate concerns stemming from an incident which took place in the PBAPS, Unit 3, recombiner offgas tunnel on March 1,1985. A summary of the investigation was provided to you by letter dated May 20, 1986 and an enforcement conference was held with your staff on May 30, 1986. At the time of this enforcement conference there was a question of whether or not i you had all the facts needed to fully respond to the safety concerns of the NRC. i l Accordingly, the investigative report and its exhibits are being provided at l this time.
