My supervisor will be discussing the receipt of your initial information with Region I management this morning, and I will be preparing a package of information today for distribution to appropriate staff for review. We anticipate the receipt of the additional specific information that you indicated y3u would be providing.

For your information, our process involves an initial discussion (within the xt two weeks) among cognizant staff to determine our initi .... irse of action.Following that meeting, a letter will be sent to you (within 30 days of our conversation yesterday) acknowledging our receipt of your concerns and providing a description of.your concerns, as we understand them.Regarding your visit to Region I, please select a date iuring the week of Septermber 22, .2003, that is convenient for you and con:act me or Sharon with that information.

Then we will be able to make the'appropriate arrangements (time, room, court reporter, etc). It is my hope that we will be able to incorporate the information presented during that meeting into our. lett.er to ydu which will relate our understanding of your concerns.

Also, since you have indicated that you may have been discriminated against for raising your concerns about the work environment at Artifical Island, we will.more than like.y ask someone from the NRC Office of Investigations(OI) to sit in on the discussic.i.

Also, I mentioned to you in our conversation yesterday.

hat one part of our approach to the work environment issue may be to requesz a formal response from PSEG (without using your name), but I forgot to ask yot if you had a problem with that approach.

That is normally the first step that t *e NRC;' as an agency, takes for this type of issue (i.e., so that we can obtain a .itten statement from licensee management, which can be referred to later as Fdditional information is developed).

Please provide your response to this quest-on as soon as is convenient.4 Thanks again.David J. Vito Senior Allegation Coordinator NRC Region I.09/03/03 11:42PM >>>Dave, Sharon and Eileen, I am more grateful than I can express for our conversat...ons today.

Via fax I have sent (1) my letter of 3/25/03 (and allboss) and (2) letter from PSEG'Nuclear dated 7/17/03 (but n sent t unt~l 8/19/03) re. my allegations 7C expressed on 3/25/03 in my letter to I will be sending more specific and more technical information as welT- as additional SCWE documentation.

I trust you and others way smarter than me will be able to determine the extent of the issues and appropriate actions..

I will tell you, as I did today, that from all that I have read, from the.conversations I have had with high-level nuclear executives from other facilities, from dialogues with industry experts committed to nuclear safety, and from my firsthand experiences at PSEG Nuclear, Duke Energy's Oconee, McGuire andCatawba Nuclear Stations, I consider PSEG Nuclear to be eeringly s imilar to Millstone and Davis Besse. Others who know PSEG Nuclear well have expressed a similar concern.I will call you tomorrow (Thursday).
