SUBJECT:
NRC
INSPECTION
REPORT
NO. 50-400/95-13
Dear Ms. Goodwin:
This letter refers to an inspection
conducted
by the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission
(NRC), Region II, on August
6 -. September.2,
1995, at the Shearon
Harris Nuclear
Power Plant, Unit 1.
The inspection
included
a review of the
incident identified by Carolina
Power
and Light Company (licensee)
involving
an apparent falsification of a radiological
survey record.
The report
documenting
the
NRC inspection is provided
as Enclosure
1.
The licensee's
investigation of this matter concluded that while you were employed
by
Carolina
Power
and Light Company
as
a health physics technician at the Shearon
Harris Plant,
you falsified a radiological
survey form.
Specifically, the
monthly radiological
survey form you prepared,
signed,
and dated July 28,
1995,
documented
a required
secondary
waste
survey you allegedly performed
on
the 236-foot elevation of the Waste Processing
Building.
This survey form is
a permanent
plant record required
by the licensee's
Health Physics
Procedure-
625,
"Performance of Radiological
Surveys,"
Revision 2/1, which is required
by
Technical Specification 6.8. l.a.
This matter
was identified during
a routine
review of the survey form by other health physics staff members
when the
similarities between the July 28,
1995 record
and the previous month's
survey
were questioned.
Although you denied
any wrongdoing
and stated to the
licensee that you had performed the survey
on July 28,
1995, security access
records did not reflect your access
to the vital area
where the survey would
have
been performed,
and you were unable to describe specific radiological
elements of the area
surveyed without benefit of the form when subsequently
questioned
by the licensee's
health physics
management.
You should
be aware that the Commission's
regulations
in 10 CFR 50.9(a),
"Completeness
and Accuracy of Information," provide, in part, that information
required
by the Commission's
regulations
or license conditions to be
maintained
by the licensee
shall
be complete
and accurate
in all material
respects.
In addition,
10 CFR 50.5(a)(2) prohibits employees
from
deliberately submitting
any information to
a licensee that the person
knows to
be inaccurate.

The
NRC relies
on accurate
records of activities at nuclear
power facilities
to ensure
the health
and safety of the .public and, therefore,
expects
no less
than full compliance with all applicable requirements.
You should
be aware
that
NRC regulations (i.e.,
"Deliberate Hisconduct," of which
a
copy is provided
as Enclosure
2) allow enforcement
actions to be issued
directly against
unlicensed
persons
who deliberately
submit
any information to
a licensee that the person
knows to be inaccurate
in some respect material to
the
NRC.
Similarly,
an order
may be issued to prohibit an individual from
engaging
in licensed activities at all NRC-licensed facilities.
A violation
of this regulation
may also lead to criminal prosecution.
While the
NRC is not initiating an enforcement
action against
you in this
matter,
we are issuing this letter to emphasize
to you the
NRC's expectation
that radiological work assigned
to you must
be performed in the manner
prescribed
by procedures
and the results of such work must
be accurately
recorded.
Should you be found to have committed deliberate violations in the
future, significant enforcement
action
may be taken against you.
No reply to this letter is required.
However,
should you desire to provide
a
response,
please
submit it within 30 days to the undersigned
at the
U. S.
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission,
Region II, 101 Harietta St.,
N.W., Atlanta,
30323.
In accordance
with Section
2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of
Practice,"
Part
2, Title 10,
Code of Federal
Regulations,
records or documents
compiled for enforcement
purposes
are placed in the
NRC Public Document
Room
(PDR).
A copy of this letter with your address
removed,
as well as
any reply
you choose to provide, will be placed in the
PDR within 45 days unless
you
provide sufficient basis to withdraw this letter.
If you have
any questions
or comments,
please
contact Hr. Hilt Shymlock,
Branch Chief, Division of Reactor Projects,
NRC Region II, at (404) 331-5535.
Sincerely,
Original Signed
