ENCLOSURE NOTICE OF YIOLATION Pennsylvania Power and Light Company Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Units 1
Ij' Docket Nos. 50-387;50-388 License Nos.
NPF-14; NPF-22 EA 94-212 During an NRC investigation conducted between October 1,
- 1992, and August 22,
- 1994, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is list d below:
10 CFR 50.9(a) states, in part, that information required by statute or by the Commission's regulations,
- orders, or license conditions to be maintained by the licensee shall be complete and accurate in all material respects.
10 CFR 73.55(b)(4)(i) states, in part, that each
- guard, watchman, armed response
- person, and other member of the security organization shall requalify in accordance with Appendix B to this part at least every 12 months.
This requalification must be documented.
The licensee shall retain the documentation of each requalification as a record for three years after the requalification.
- states, in
- part, that each licensee shall establish,
- maintain, and follow an NRC-approved training and qualification
'plan outlining the processes by which'uards,
- watchmen, armed response
- persons, and other members of the security organization will be trained,
- tested, and qualified to ensure that these individuals meet the requirements of this paragraph.
Section 2.1 of the NRC-approved Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Guard Training and gualification Plan
- requires, in
- part, that annual recertification to ensure security force effectiveness shall be accomplished by one or more activities including class-room training involving lectures, group discussions, text review or written examination.
Section 14.0 of the NRC-approved Susquehanna Steam Electric Station Guard Training and gualification Plan requires, in part, that security records be available for review to NRC inspectors in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations and in sufficient detail to enable them to determine that the program meets applicable regulatory standards.
Contrary to the
- above, as of September 3,
- 1992, the licensee's records documenting the requalification of members of its security organization were not complete and accurate in all material respects.
Specifically, a
written examination given to members of its security organization on September 3,
1992, which was chosen by the licensee as a method under its Guard Training and gualification Plan to demonstrate security force effectiveness for recertification in a given task area, did not accurately and completely reflect the true knowledge of some individuals taking the examination, or their effectiveness for requalification.
This occurred 9508150137 950507 PDR ADOCK 05000387 9
Enclosure
- because, after noting that a number of individuals answered a particular question incorrectly, the former security shift supervisor proctoring the examination retaught the information pertinent to that question, provided an opportunity to change the answers by returning the answer sheets to the individuals who had the incorrect answer, and then submitted the changed or corrected examination results as original answers for grading.
The test results were material to the NRC in that the NRC relies on these test results for the demonstration of security force effectiveness under the licensee's implementation of the approved Guard Training and gualification Plan.
