Edwin Stier) into the allegation made to the NRC on July 9,1987, of a licensed shif t foreman sleeping while on duty (re: PNO Nos. 1-87-63 and TM!-87-05).

As a result of the completion of the investigation, the licensee took a number of disciplinary actions effective July 19, 1988. These actions included a dismissal, reassignments to lower level positions not involving supervision of licensed operators at TMI-2, and formal reprimands.

These actions will have no effect on the continued activities at TMI-1.

The Licensee issued a press release today. The NRC will respond to press inquiries.
