16. ABSTRACT (Umit to 1400 spaces. I.e.. approximately 15 single-spaced typewritten lines)

This report is being made pursuant to the requirements of IOCFR73.71, Appendix G(3)(b).

On August 22, 2003, during a review of Security records, it was discovered that on May 28, 2003, a badged individual had not successfully completed the necessary retraining for unescorted access. The access authorization for the protected area was removed when the individual's training expired. Access authorization was subsequently restored prior to completion of training. The individual visits the plant infrequently and was not aware that his training had expired. VCSNS believes that the event occurred unintentionally.

This event was due to an oversight by access control personnel. Access control personnel authorized the change in badge status without confirming that all requirements for access had been met. Upon the discovery, the individual completed the training and his access was granted. The individual did not enter any vital areas of the plant during this time however he did enter the protected area.
