Dear Mr. Slade:
SUB~ECT:
INSPECTION OF THE CONSUMERS POWER ACCESS AUTHORIZATION PROGRAM
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. T. Madeda and J. Belanger
of this office between August 2 - 6, 1993.
Mrs. N. Ervin of the NRC's Offica
of Nu~lear Reactor Regulation accompanied the inspectors during the visit .*
The inspection included an evaluation to determine whether the Access
Authorization Program applicable regulatory requirements identified in the
Palisadei Nuclear Power Plant Security Plan were adequately implemented.
Although your Access Authorization Program applies to both Palisades and Big
Rock Point, our specific review included only Palisades onsite implementation.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areasi the inspection consisted of a sele~tive examination of procedures
- .and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations of
activities in progress.
No violations of NRC requirements were identified du~ing the course of this
inspection, and within the scope of this inspection th~ Access Authorization
Program adequately met the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 73.56 .. Program
strengths and. weaknesses were noted and are addressed in the Report Details ..
Inspection results identified a considerable level of decentralization int.he
implementation and control of your access.authorization program.
Significant
program respon~ibilities are vested in your self-streening contractors and
different licensee organizations. While this approach meets regulatory
requirements, excellent communication and overview are necessary to continue
to implement the program in a successful manner.
In accordance with 10 CFR2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be pl~ced in the NRC
Public Document Room .
