$UILIECT:

ALLEGATION OF NRC INSPECTOR SLEEPING IN PEACH BOTTOM CONTROL R00H he u se o his meno i nt a lephone call I received today from a Electric Co. (PEco),

wherein, 'n e cou eo t

advising me on the status of PECo's investigation into operator sleeping, he stated he was in receipt of two allegations of NRC I

inspector impropriety.

f First, he stated that he was told last night by a claims-security investigator that a Shift Technical Advisor (STA) told the investigator that tha STA had been told by a reactor operator that the operr. tor had to wake a slee inspector twice in the control room during a back shift. Although had the name of the clains-security investigator, the STA and the operator, he did t have the name of the NRC inspector who allegedly was sleeping.

Moreover, hhad advised the PEco investigators not to develop this information

, since he would advise M8tC. Upon receipt of this information I adviseo u

that I would make NRC sanagement aware of this allegation, that at this id not need for him to provide me the names, and that within the near time.

future I would expect someone from the NRC to contact him to follow-up on this matter.

A second me ter had to do with a control room janitor alleging that he observed two NRC inspectors in the control room drink,ing coffee, soctaltzing with operators and congregating around the middle control panel.

It is my impression that the thrust of the alleger's concern is that the operators, whtle socialixtng with the two NRC inspectors, were away free their assigned nels and that the observer vtewed this as being condoned by the taspectors.

has the name of this alleger as well.

l Should you need further specifics relative to this conversation please advise.
