In calendar year (CY) 2008, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) undertook certain significant activities that affected the Allegation Program and related policies. The agency conducted internal lessons-learned reviews regarding the handling of allegations in CY 2007 of inattentive security officers at the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station. These reviews have resulted in enhancements to the allegation process. In addition, the allegation staff continues to implement the agency-sponsored alternative dispute resolution (Early-ADR) process for discrimination allegations. Twenty-four percent of the discrimination cases offered Early-ADR reached settlement in CY 2008. These areas are discussed in more detail.
