NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
 

Tennessee Valley Authority, Watts Bar Nuclear Plant; Receipt of 
Petition for Director's Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206

[Docket Nos. 50-390 and 50-391]
    Notice is hereby given that by letter dated February 25, 1994 
George M. Gillilan (Petitioner) has requested that the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission (NRC): (1) Immediately impose a $25,000 per day 
fine on the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) until all reprisal, 
intimidation, harassment and discrimination actions involving the 
Petitioner are settled to the Petitioner's satisfaction, and (2) 
appoint an independent arbitration board to review all past Department 
of Labor suits and EEO complaints filed against TVA concerning the 
Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. Since this latter remedy is beyond the scope 
of the Commission's authority, it has been denied.
    As basis for this relief, the Petitioner asserts that due to his 
reporting of safety concerns to the Commission, TVA management has 
subjected him to continuous intimidation, harassment, discrimination 
and reprisal actions, that his name has been placed on a blackball list 
that has been circulated nationwide preventing him from obtaining 
suitable employment outside of TVA and that this has affected his 
mental and physical health.
    The request is being treated pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 of the 
Commission's regulations. The request has been referred to the 
Director, Office of Enforcement. By letter dated April 7, 1994, the 
portion of the Petitioner's request that asked for immediate action has 
been denied. As provided by Sec. 2.206, appropriate action will be 
taken on this request within a reasonable time. A copy of the Petition 
is available for inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, 
2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 20555.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 7th day of April 1994.

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