NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


All Licensees; Issuance of Director's Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206

    Notice is hereby given that the Director, Office of Enforcement, 
has issued a decision concerning the Petition filed by Mr. Thomas J. 
Saporito, Jr., (Petitioner) on March 8, 1995. The Petition requested 
that the NRC issue a generic letter of instruction to all licensees 
requiring them to review their station operating procedures to 
determine whether those procedures include any restrictions that would 
prevent or dissuade a licensee employee from bringing perceived safety 
concerns directly to the NRC without following the normal chain of 
command. The Petition requests that each licensee be required to report 
to the Commission, under oath or affirmation, that the review has been 
completed, that its employees are free to bring concerns to the NRC 
without following the normal chain of command, and that this 
information has been communicated to all of its employees.
    Based on a review of Petitioner's request and the Secretary of 
Labor's Decision and Remand Order of June 3, 1994 and Order of February 
16, 1995, the Director, Office of Enforcement, has denied this 
Petition. The reasons for the denial are explained in the ``Director's 
Decision under 10 CFR 2.206'' (DD-95-08) which is available for public 
inspection in the Commission's Public Document Room at 2120 L Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20555.
    A copy of this Decision will be filed with the Secretary for the 
Commission's review in accordance with 10 CFR 2.206. As provided by 
this regulation, the Decision will constitute the final action of the 
Commission 25 days after the date of issuance of the Decision unless 
the Commission on its own motion institutes a review of the Decision 
within that time.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 25th day of May 1995.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
James Lieberman,
Director, Office of Enforcement.
