BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket Nos. 50–498 and 50–499; License 

Nos. NPF–76 and NPF–80] 

STP Nuclear Operating Company; 

Notice of Issuance of Director’s 

Decision Under 10 CFR 2.206 

Notice is hereby given that the 

Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor 

Regulation, has issued a director’s 

decision with regard to a petition dated 

May 16, 2006, filed by Mr. Glenn Adler 

on behalf of Service Employees 

International Union, hereinafter referred 

to as the Petitioner. The petition was 

supplemented by letter dated June 26, 

2006, and provided to the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC) during a 

meeting with the agency’s petition 

review board (PRB) on June 27, 2006. 

Transcripts of the meeting are available, 

as an attachment to the PRB meeting 

summary, via the Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS) on the agency’s Web 

site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ 

adams.html and for inspection at the 

NRC Public Document Room, located at 

One White Flint North, Public File Area 

01 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first 

floor), Rockville, Maryland. The petition 

concerns the operation of the South 

Texas Project (STP) Electric Generating 

Station, Units 1 and 2. 

The Petitioner requested that the NRC 

issue a demand for information (DFI) to 

STP Nuclear Operating Company 

(STPNOC), licensee for STP, to provide 

the results of assessments of the safetyconscious work environment (SCWE) at 

STP conducted since January 1, 2004; 

summaries of action plans and results of 

actions to remedy the problems revealed 

by the assessments, including 

documents mentioned at an August 

2005 meeting convened to discuss the 

STP SCWE; summaries of action plans 

and results of efforts to remedy 

problems revealed by such assessments 

in 2001 and 2003; and all 

correspondence between the NRC, 

STPNOC, and Wackenhut Corporation 

concerning the 2001, 2003, and 2005 

comprehensive cultural surveys (CCAs). 

As the basis for the petition, the 

Petitioner stated that, in 1998 the NRC 

found that STP had violated Federal law 

by subjecting four employees to a 

‘‘hostile work environment’’ after the 

employees raised safety concerns. The 

Petitioner noted that the NRC issued an 

order requiring STP to hire an 

independent contractor to conduct 

periodic CCAs. 

The Petitioner stated that the licensee 

hired Synergy Consulting Services 

Corporation. The Wackenhut 

Corporation took over security at STP in 

July 2001, after winning a 3-year 

contract for security, with an option for 

2 additional years. The Petitioner 

further noted that in the 2001 and 2003 

CCAs, Wackenhut scored poorly on 

independent surveys assessing the 

STPNOC nuclear safety culture, SCWE, 

general culture and work environment, 

leadership, management, and 

supervisory skills and practices. 

The Petitioner stated that, despite 

apparently repeated efforts by STPNOC 

to remedy the poor performance of 

Wackenhut, a more recent survey 

revealed that Wackenhut’s performance 

problems continued, as indicated in the 

2005 CCA, and that the STPNOC action 

plans apparently were not successful 

with respect to Wackenhut and other 

entities. 

The Petitioner stated that obtaining 

the documents it identified will 

facilitate the NRC to be better informed 

about improvement in the licensee’s 

SCWE at STPNOC. In addition, the NRC 

will be better able to assess the 

effectiveness of previous steps taken 

with Wackenhut and other entities for 

whom problems persisted, despite 

repeated efforts to remedy them. 

On June 27, 2006, the Petitioner and 

the licensee’s attorney met with the 

staff’s PRB. The meeting gave the 

Petitioner and the licensee’s attorney an 

opportunity to provide additional 

information and to clarify issues raised 

in the petition. The summary of the 

meeting and its transcript are available 

in ADAMS, as stated above. 

On November 21, 2006, the NRC sent 

a copy of the proposed director’s 

decision to the Petitioner and the 

licensee for comment. At the request of 

the Petitioner, the NRC extended the 

end of the comment period from 

December 21, 2006, to January 12, 2007. 

However, the NRC staff did not receive 

any comments. The NRC has included 

the latest update of the results of its 

ongoing oversight at STP, and made 

some editorial changes to the text of this 

director’s decision. 

The director’s decision [DD–07–01] 

explains the reasons for this decision 

pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 

2.206, the complete text of which is 

available on the agency’s Web site via 

ADAMS and at the Commission’s Public 

Document Room, located at One White 

Flint North, Public File Area O1 F21, 

11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), 

Rockville, Maryland, and from the 

ADAMS Public Library component on 

the NRC’s Web site, http://www.nrc.gov/ 

reading-rm.html (the Public Electronic 

Reading Room).
