Mr. John Giddens Sr. Manager, Fleet Regulatory Assurance Entergy Operations, Inc.

1340 Echelon Parkway Mail Unit M-ECH-550 Jackson, MS 39213

SUBJECT:

CLOSURE OF INVESTIGATION (OI 4-2022-001)

Dear Mr. Giddens:

This refers to an investigation conducted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs)

Office of Investigations regarding activities at Waterford. The Office of Investigations initiated the investigation to determine whether a supervisor in the construction/field engineering department was subjected to discrimination for raising safety concerns to his employer, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., at the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, Killona, Louisiana.

Based on the evidence developed during the investigation, the concern that a supervisor in the construction/field engineering department at Waterford 3, was discriminated against by management for raising safety concerns was not substantiated. The NRC plans no further action related to the discrimination aspect of this allegation and considers this investigation closed.

You should note that final NRC documents may be made available to the public under the Freedom of Information Act subject to redaction of information pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act. Requests under the Freedom of Information Act should be made in accordance with 10 CFR 9.23, Requests for Records. Information is accessible from the NRCs website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/foia/foia-request.html#how.

J. Giddens 2
