September 26, 2002 Mr. William R. Kanda Vice President - Nuclear, Perry FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company P. O. Box 97, A290 Perry, OH 44081
SUBJECT:
OFFICE OF INVESTIGATIONS REPORT NO. 3-2001-059
Dear Mr. Kanda:
This refers to an investigation initiated on December 28, 2001, by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Office of Investigations (OI) to determine whether a contract insulator deliberately provided incomplete and inaccurate information to the First Energy Operating Company (FENOC) to obtain unescorted access to Perry Nuclear Power Plant. Based on the information developed during that investigation, OI concluded that the individual deliberately failed to fully disclose his entire criminal background history on his personnel security questionnaires. The synopsis of the OI report is enclosed. No enforcement action is being taken against FENOC in this matter. This concludes the NRCs investigation into this matter.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
If you have any questions concerning this matter please contact me at (630) 829-9500.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Cynthia D. Pederson, Director Division of Reactor Safety Docket No. 50-440 License No. NPF-58
