NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power & Light Company Docket No. 50-261 H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant License No DPR-23 Unit 2 During an NRC inspection conducted on March 11 to April 4, 1996, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

The NRC exemption letter dated December 20, 1995, paragraph III, issued under 10 CFR 73.55(d), Access Requirements, requires the licensee's hand geometry equipment to meet the detection probability of 90 percent with a 95 percent confidence level, and to revise the physical security plan to include implementation and testing of the hand geometry access control system.

Paragraph 12.1, of the licensee's Industrial Security Plan (ISP),

Revision 31, dated January 24, 1996, states, "Hand geometry reader testing to assure a probability ratio of 90% with 95% confidence shall be performed annually, after repairs, major maintenance, re-calibration of equipment, and after each inoperative state".

Contrary to the above, from November 28, 1995 to March 9, 1996, the licensee allowed access to the protected area using the hand geometry system without having conducted tests to ensure that the equipment met the 90 percent detection probability with a 95 percent confidence level.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement III).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, H. B. Robinson is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:

Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the Robinson facility, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice).

Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response.

Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
