U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Management Directive 8.8, "Management of Allegations," dated February 4, 1999, requires that the Agency Allegation Advisor prepare an annual report for the Executive Director for Operations that analyzes allegation trends. This annual report fulfills that commitment by providing national, regional, and site-specific trend analyses. In addition, significant staff activity in calendar year (CY) 2009 involving the Allegation Program and related policies warrants mention in this report. The agency continued to address lessons learned regarding the handling of allegations of inattentive security officers at the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, resulting in enhancements to the allegation process. In addition, the allegation staff continues to implement the agency-sponsored alternative dispute resolution process (Early-ADR) for discrimination allegations.
