Alexich on November 22, 1983, that henceforth all duly authorized NRC and NRC contractor representatives willbe granted unfettered access to the D.C. Cook plant facil-ities as may be necessary in the performance of their duties, regardless of their facial hair status.
It is recognized that this access is subject to routine security clearance and site specific training requirements as well as other re-gulatory requirements which may restrict access to certain plant areas.
