May 23, 1985 I MEMORANDUM FOR: Ben B. Hayes, Director Office of Investigations FROM: Sharon R. Connelly, Director Office of Inspector and Auditor

SUBJECT:

ALLEGATIONS OF IMPROPER DISCLOSURE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORliATION BY OI INVESTIGATOR Attached is the Office of Inspector and Auditor investigation of alleged improper disclosure of a confidential source by Donald D. DRISKILL, Investigator, Office of Investigations, Region III, NRC. This investigation is predicated on testimony, before the Atomic Safety and Licensing Bc 'd, that Evert MOUSER, a former Quality Control (QC) Inspector at Comanche Petk,,

provided information, allegedly in confidence, to DRISKILL which became kilown to the utility company's supervisory or management personnel.

MOUSER indicated that he never requested confidentiality nor was it offered or inferred by DRISKILL. Information MOUSER provided to DRISKILL in instances where formal confidentiality was not requested may have been discussed with others. However, MOUSER is not aware of any confidential information he provided to DRISKILL which may have been released.

In an OIA interview on April 30, 1985, MOUSER indicated he has had two conversations with' DRISKILL. He has never aske.d for confidentiality nor was it offered to him by DRISKILL. Although he recalls telling DRISKILL that he would not like what he discussed with him "to become general knowledge," he has never signed any document that granted him confidentiality.

An 01 confidential source identified by MOUSER as a possible breach was interviewed and indicated he signed a formal confidentiality agreement with DRISKILL relative to information he provided during five or six discussions he l had with DRISKILL. While the source did perceive a lot of " pressure" being placed on him subsequent to his discussions with DRISKILL, he has no reason to believe his confidentiality was compromised by the NRC or DRISKILL.
