On May 21, 2010, with Surry Power Station (SPS) Units 1 and 2 at 100% reactor power, a Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion) Nuclear Security Officer detected contraband in the bag of a Dominion Employee at the SPS security access control building, which is outside the protected area.
Security noted that the employee was cooperative when stopped and unaware that the contraband was in the bag. The employee stated that the day before he had taken the contraband out of his vehicle and placed it in the side pocket of his bag. The employee stated that he packed his lunch for the next day and had forgotten to take the contraband out. There was no evidence collected in the investigation of this incident to suggest that the employee was untruthful when he stated that his acts on May 21, 2010 were unintentional and without malice. An evaluation was performed which determined that the cause of this incident was a human error due to less than adequate self-checking. This event meets the criteria specified in 10 CFR 73, Appendix G, item 1(d), as an attempted introduction of contraband into a protected area. A one-hour report Event Notification# EN45941 was made to the NRC. This Licensee Event Report is being submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 73.71 (a)(4) for a 60 day follow-up written report.
