As I said in earlier, my October 3, 1984 memo let to a lot of turmoil. The heat was on. I was fighting for survival, so I worked on the day after Thanksgiving and it was an advantage to have no others around.
The above memorandum was addressed to Lang who had been assigned to monitor (to control) the UHI investigations. So, I worked within the system, and addressed all correspondence to Lang, but I worked independently. I stayed under control because I intended to continue working for EPRI, however, my above contact with the NRC Training Center was effective and there was no way that NSAC could reprimand me for pursuing that credible source even though it alarmed Rossin and very likely others.
Rossin was apparently concerned that Taylor would think Leyse was out of control, hence his note of 11/30 (1984) in which he stopped distribution to J. J. Taylor, the head of the EPRI Nuclear Power Division.
I'll have further documentation of the very revealing UHI turmoil that raged within NSAC and EPRI. Several outside organizations became involved including at least three within the NRC. The SANDIA National Laboratory was drawn into the turmoil as a consultant to the NRC. The ACRS wrote a letter to the Commissioners of the NRC and I'll also post that later. EPRI even hired an outplacement service, Ward Associates on the famous Sand Hill Road, and later you read how that action intensified the turmoil, although I believe it worked to my advantage.
