SUBJECT:
NRC INVESTIGATION REPORT NO. 1-2012-015
Dear Mr. Heacock:
This letter refers to the investigation by the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Office of Investigations (OI) conducted at the Millstone Nuclear Power Station (MNPS), which was completed on April 18, 2012. The investigation was conducted to determine whether a contract employee previously employed as a security officer at MNPS, deliberately failed to report an April 2, 2011, arrest on the employees first day back to work following the arrest. The OI investigation was initiated after MNPS identified this failure, entered it into its Corrective Action Program, and informed the NRC resident inspectors at MNPS.
Based on the evidence gathered during the OI investigation, including the contractors admission to OI that she knew she should have promptly reported the arrest but did not, the NRC has concluded that the contractor did, in fact, deliberately violate the reporting requirements set forth in 10 CFR 73.56(g). This regulation specifies, in part, that any individual maintaining unescorted access (UA) shall promptly report to the reviewing official, his or her supervisor, or other management personnel designated in site procedures any legal action taken by a law enforcement authority to which the individual has been subject that could result in incarceration or a court order that requires a court appearance, including an arrest.
In this case, on April 2, 2011, the contractor, who had UA to MNPS at the time, was arrested while offsite and during non-working hours. Although the contractor should have promptly reported the arrest to MNPS on the first day back to work following the arrest, the contractor continued working at MNPS without reporting the arrest until December 9, 2011. At that time, the contractor included the arrest on a personal history questionnaire provided to MNPS as part of its five-year re-investigation to maintain the contractors UA. As a result, MNPS removed the contractors UA, terminated the contractors employment, and updated the individuals Personal Access Data System entry to reflect the unfavorable termination.
After reviewing the specific circumstances regarding this issue, the NRC is not taking any enforcement action against MNPS.
