Plans, Procedures and Reviews (IP 81401)
>
One open item was identified and is described below.
Inspection results showed that in May 1980, the licensee submitted to NRC a modified security plan addressing the fixed site requirements of 10 CFR 73.67(d) and in-transit requirements of 10 CFR 73.67(g).
The plan was never approved.
During the January 23-25, 1985 security inspection, the inspector reviewed the October 1981 letter from NRC to the licensee.
This letter requested the licensee to address the requirements of 10 CFR 73.60.
The license? requested and was granted an extension of time to submit the additional information.
During the current inspection, it was noted that the security plan submitted in 1980 was never approved.
During the security plan review process it was determined that information the licensee was requested to provide in October 1981, was no longer required.
However, due to an oversite, the licensee was never notified that the security plan was acceptable as submitted.
During this inspection, telephone discussions were held between the licensee, the inspector and the cognizant Headquarters Reactor Security Specialist (NRR) regarding this item.
The licensee was requested to submit a revised security plan.
The licensee stated they would submit the revision.
The licensee requested a letter from Headquarters stating the request to submit a revised security plan to the NRC.
The NRC Headquarters representative stated that such a letter would be sent to the licensee.
