SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-335/99-10 AND 50-389/99-10
Dear Mr. Plunkett:
This refers to the inspection conducted on April 12-16 and May 3-7, 1999, at the St. Lucie
facility. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection.
The focus of the inspection
was to review the conduct of your security activities in specific areas.
The inspection report contains a number of conclusions regarding the performance of your
security program in the areas reviewed.
As discussed
in a May 26, 1999, telephone
conversation between Mssrs. J. A. Stall, G. Bird, and me, four of these findings are of the most
concern to us.
They are: (1) duties were assigned to the Security Shift Specialist that could
interfere with the Specialist's ability to lead and direct security operations during an emergency,
(2) a problem associated
with the process (people and equipment) for the detection of explosive
devices in one access
location (3) the assignment of other (competing) tasks to your initial
response force that could interfere with their ability to respond to the design basis threat in
accordance with your Physical Security Plan (PSP), and (4) not using the corrective action
processes
available to resolve problems identified in the security area.
The first two findings are
considered violations of NRC requirements.
One general performance objective of the physical protection system and security organization
stated in 10 CFR 73.55 (a) and (h) is to protect against the design basis threat as defined in 10 CFR 73.1 (a). Your PSP and contingency plans were developed to support this objective. The
concern with the four findings summarized above is that they could have an impact on your
ability to respond to the design basis threat in a timely and effective manner.
In addition, as you
make changes
in the areas encompassed
by the findings, you should evaluate those changes
against your PSP and contingency plans to ensure that requirements continue to be met.
During the telephone conversation, Mssrs. Stall and Bird indicated they understood the four
findings and the NRC's concern, but disagreed that the first two findings were violations of NRC
requirements.
However, Mssrs. Stall and Bird indicated that steps have been taken to address
each of the findings, including an evaluation to determine the impact of assigning competing
duties to the response force. We would like to review the results of your evaluation when
completed.
(
After reviewing the information provided by Mssrs. Stall and Bird provided during the May 26
telephone conversation, information provided at the exit meeting, and information gathered
during the course of our inspection, we conclude that the two violations mentioned above
99070iQi47 9906ii
ADCICK 05000335

FPBL
occurred as described in the enclosed inspection report. These violations are being treated as
Non-Cited Violations (NCVs), consistent with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy. Ifyou
contest the violation or severity level of these NCVs, you should provide a response within
30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001, with
copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II, the Resident Inspector at your facility and the
Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington,
DC 20555-0001.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its
enclosure, and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room
.
