Alleger forwarded new information on the technical issues on November 12, 2002 Alleger contends he/she was harassed for raising this concern. Alleger is also concerned that he/she will be suspended by NPS, and that this will negatively affect his ability to get work at other nuclear facilities in the near future. Alleger also indicated that he/she has been put on undesirable jobs since raising his concern.

DOL Area Director Decision and Final Investigative Report dated April 11, 2003, concluded that the alleger did not present clear and convincing evidence that he/she was harassed.
