SUMMARY

, OFFICE OF INVESTIGATIONS CASE NUMBER 2-2021-008

Dear Mr. Todd:

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Office of Investigations (OI) has closed the subject case regarding whether Auxiliary Unit Operator (AUO) rounds were willfully falsified by a System Operator (SO) and if a Shift Operations Manager (SOM) was aware of the alleged falsification.

The NRC determined there was insufficient evidence to substantiate the allegation that AUO rounds were willfully falsified by a system operator and that a SOM was aware of the alleged falsification.

We plan no further action with regard to this matter. Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact us.

Copies of documents related to this report may be requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Requests for records under FOIA can be made to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Mail Stop T-5 F09, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or you can fax your request to the NRC Rockville, Maryland office at (301) 415-5130, or email at FOIA.resource@NRC.GOV. Any information provided under FOIA will, to the extent consistent with that act, be purged of names and other potential identifiers.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice and Procedure" a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/ADAMS/index.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/

Alan J. Blamey, Chief Reactor Projects Branch 2 Division of Reactor Projects
