Escalated Enforcement Actions Issued to Individuals - F

Name and
NRC Action Number
NRC Action Type Date Issued Description
Luis Fernandez
IA-07-026
IAORDER 01/22/2008 On January 22, 2008, a Confirmatory Order (Effective Immediately) was issued to Mr. Luis Fernandez, a former security Project Manager for the Wackenhut Corporation, as a result of a settlement agreement entered into following the conclusion of Alternative Dispute Resolution, requested by the individual. This Confirmatory Order relates to a series of actions taken by Mr. Fernandez that resulted in the deliberate documentation of damage to a contingency response weapon in a licensee Condition Report, which was incomplete and inaccurate. The Condition Report, which is required to be maintained by the licensee, was provided to the NRC staff during an ongoing inspection and investigation. As a result, the actions of Mr. Fernandez placed the licensee in violation of 10 CFR 50.9. During the mediation session, Mr. Fernandez agreed, among other things, to: 1) he has no intention of working or seeking employment in any activities or at any facility subject to NRC regulations, and that he will not seek employment requiring his participation in NRC-regulated activities before June 30, 2008, 2) should he seek employment with an entity involved in NRC-regulated activities and requiring unescorted access authorization prior to June 30, 2010, he will provide the NRC with a letter discussing the steps he has taken to assure his understanding of the importance of completeness and accuracy of information at facilities subject to NRC regulation, 3) make himself available to participate in training to discuss lessons learned from this matter and the importance of completeness and accuracy of condition reports and other internal documents, 4) should he seek employment with any NRC-regulated entity prior to June 30, 2010, to provide to the NRC a letter discussing the steps he has taken to assure his understanding of NRC requirements in effect at the time, is sufficient to address all Agency concerns regarding his involvement in the matter discussed in the NRC’s letter of May 30, 2007. In consideration of the above, the NRC agreed to forego issuance of a Notice of Violation or take other enforcement action against Mr. Fernandez in this matter.
