Telephone Conversation: Mr. Dave Andrews called Mr. Ben Hayes on June 14, 1984 at 10:10 a.m.

Employee left job site couple of weeks ago Coombsiar& u.

m Made allegations indicating drug use on part of her suyervisors and co-workers Document Controls Satelite Office, 307 Interviewed her--she gave names of other employees Interviewed these employees Specific infomation--dates, times and places At that point, we began investigation--developed few more names

'We began interviewing folks

'~ ' ~

Conducted standard interview with various people who have had various allegations made against them...

./*T M'% y -

Mr. Hayes asked if. these estos were transcribed? Mr. Andrews replied "no".

If more than one independent source has given us their name, we are asking them'to submit to polygraph exam--only five questions: .

1. Have they s'een drugs used on site?

2. Have they used drugs on site?

3. Have they offered or sold drugs on site?

I

4. Have they reported to work after using drugs? -

5. Have you purchased drugs on site?

r fio, we are not getting urine fests.

Fifty percent of people are making admissions--fifty percent decline polygraph exam leave voluntary.

In the state of Texas, we have very liberal polygraph laws. You can terminate the employee for declining to take the polygraph exam...

We have 25 or 26 terminations--some people just walked in and resigned.

A couple of supervisors were terminated. ~*

The word is getting around the site.

2 We have other names we will be adding to the list.

Mr. Hayes advised that Brooks Griffin (01:RIV) will be at the site today and requested that Mr. ~Andrews meet with him and give him a detailed briefing.

Mr. Andrews stated that he would give him detailed information.

Tom Carpenter Ernie Hadley

Government Accountability Project i g on C. BOO 9 l Gentlemen

This is in response to your letter to me dated June 9,1984, regarding the termination of a number of employees at the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant I

for alleged involvement with controlled substances, fr.cluding the sale of narcotics. This office was advised by Texas Utilities Electric Company (TVECO) on June 5,1984, that they were investigating allegations concerning the illegal use of drugs on site. As a result of their investigation TUECO, on June 15, 1984, prepared a generic Non-Conformance Report (NCR).

With the issuance of the NCR, TUECO and Brown & Root (B&R) will be required to evaluate the safety significance of work activities performed by the people who were either discharged or resigned as a result of their involvement with controlled substances. On June 29, 1984, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff met with TUECO officials to discuss the status of their investigation and their program for satisfactory disposition of the NCR. Following TUECO's disposition and close out of the NCR, I intend to thoroughly review and evaluate their findings and disposition. At the conclusion of our inspection, I will be pleased to provide you a copy of our findings.

Sincerely,

• 0riginal Sign:d tyv
