SUBJECT:
CLOSURE OF INVESTIGATION (014-2011-0061)
Dear Mr. Reddemann:
This refers to an investigation conducted by the NRC's Office of Investigations regarding activities at the Columbia Generating Station. The Office of Investigations initiated the investigation to determine whether a contract supervisor at Energy Northwest's Columbia Generating Station fraudulently signed clearance orders as completed and willfully directed workers to complete work in radiation areas that had already been documented as complete.
Based on the evidence developed during the investigation, testimony, and document reviews, the allegation was not determined to be willful. The NRC plans no further action related to the willful aspect of this allegation and considers this investigation closed.
You should note that final NRC documents may be made available to the public under the Freedom of Information Act subject to redaction of information pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act. Requests under the Freedom of Information Act should be made in accordance with 10 CFR 9.23, Requests for Records. Information is accessible from the NRC's website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/foia/foia-request. html#how.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," 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).
