DPR-33, DPR-52 and DPR-68 During an NRC inspection conducted from September

and 2.C.(6), respectively, state that the licensee shall fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Commission-approved Physical Security Plan.
Contrary to the above, on September 18, 1996, the licensee did not maintain in effect all provisions of the Commission-approved Physical Security Plan.
Two vehicles within the protected area were identified unlocked with the ignition keys inside of the vehicle.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement III).

Site Standard Practice (SSP)
SSP-6.1, Conduct of Haintenance, Revision 5, Section 3.1.1.C.5 addresses management oversight of work erformed by non-plant personnel and contractors to ensure that work is eing performed in a quality manner.

This was illustrated by three examples of painting problems which affected the diesel generators.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I), applicable to Unit 2 and 3.
