Gentlemen:

Subject:

Inspection

No. 50-244/89-08

This refers to the routine safeguards

inspection

conducted

by

Messrs.

W.

K. Lancaster

and

E.

D. Sylvester of this office on April 1?-21,

1989,

of activities at the

R.

E. Ginna

Power Plant, Ontario,

New York authorized

by

NRC License

OPR-18,

and to the discussions

of our findings held by

Mr. Lancaster with Mr.

R.

E. Smith and other

members of your staff at the

conclusion of the inspection.

Areas

examined during this inspection

are described

in the

NRC Region I

Inspection

Report which is enclosed with this letter.

Within these

areas,

the

inspection

consisted

of selective

examinations

of procedures

and

representative

records,

interviews with personnel,

and observations

by the

,inspector.

Based

on the results of this inspection, it appears

that two of your

activities were not conducted

in full compliance with NRC requirements,

as set

forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed

herewith

as Appendix A.

These

violations have

been categorized

by severity level 'in accordance

with the

"General

Statement

of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C-(Enforcement Policy).

You are required to respond to

this letter and in preparing your response,

you should follow the instructions

in Appendix A.

The response

directed

by this letter and the enclosed

Notice is

not subject to the clearance

procedures

of the Office of Management

and Budget

as required

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980,

PL 96-511.

The results of our inspection indicate

a possible

decrease

in management

attention to the implementation of your security program, particularly with

respect to equipment

and hardware.

We are especially

concerned

that security

management

was not aware of a malfunction in a feature of your assessment

system,

which is included

as

a commitment in your NRC-approved security plan,

that has apparently

existed for over

two years.

The malfunction was well-known

to members of the security force and instrumentation

technicians

who use

and

maintain that equipment

and could represent

a serious degradation

of your

assessment

capabilities

and program effectiveness.

Therefore,

in your response

to the Violation concerning this matter,

you are also requested

to address

the

questions

contained

in Paragraph'.e.

of the enclosed

inspection report.

We are

aware that you plan to have

a consultant

evaluate your security program

in the near future and

we are interested

in the results of that evaluation,

as

well as

any action(s)

you may contemplate

following the evaluation.

We

request that you contact

us to arrange for a meeting to discuss

the

consultant's

evaluation after you have completed your review.

Appendix A and certain

paragraphs

in the enclosed

inspection report contain

details of your security program that have

been determined to be exempt

from

public disclosure

in accordance

with 10 CFR 73.21

(Safeguards

Information).

Therefore,

they wi 11 not be placed

in the

NRC Public Document

Room and will

receive limited distribution.

This letter and the remainder of the inspection

report will be placed

in the Public Document

with 10 CFR 2.790(a).
