UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION yhjsu WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555
,, g fj July 6, 1993 CHAIRMAN The Honorable Joseph 1. Lieberman, Chairman Subcommittee on Clean Air and Nuclear Regulation Committee on Environment and Public Works United States Senate Washington, D.C.
20S10
Dear Mr. Chairman:
Pursuant to conversations with your staff, it is our understanding that you are planning to hold a hearing on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's hanaling of wnistleblowers in the nuclear industry and that you may call Mr. Allen MosDaugn and the Georgia Power Company to testify regarcing Mr. Mosbaugh's exoerlences as a whistleblower prior to and after the site area emergency of March 20, 1990, at the Vogtle nuclear power plant.
1 On June 24, 1993, the NRC Atomic Safety and Licensing Board in the ongoing Georgia Power Company license amendment proceeding determined that six tape recordings made by Mr. Mosbaugh, which are copies of portions of a larger number of tapes, should be released to Georgia Power Company in discovery. We understand that these six tapes, which by agreement among the parties were to be released on July 2,1993, were previously made available to the Subcomittee by Mr. Mosbaugh's attorney.
We understand that the Subcomittee does not intend to seek or compel the public disclosure of material compiled by the NRC's investigatory staff that is not already in the public record, or seek public disclosure of substantive conclusions that the investigators may have reached on matters under investigation.
The Director of the Office of Investigations has concluded that public discussion by the Subcomittee of information relating to Mr. Mosbaugh's allegations with either Mr. Mosbaugh or the Georgia Power Company will not adversely affect any current matter under investigation by his office.
However, neither the Comission nor its staff will be in a position to discuss either the NRC investigation or any potential effect of the investigation on possible enforcement actions or on the ongoing licensing proceeding.
Sincerely, h
M Kenneth C. Rogers Acting Chairman cc:
Senator Alan K. Simpson 9307160208 930707 PDR ADOCK 05000424 C
