(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-280/86-03 AND 50-281/86-03)
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on
February 10-14, 1986, at Surry Nuclear Station in Surry, Virginia, which included
a review of a licensee-identified security incident.
The incident repr2sents a
significant failure to comply with NRC regulatory requirements, and accordingly,
the NRC
1s concerns relative to the inspection findings were discussed with
R. D. Walker, Acting Deputy Regional Administrator, NRC, Regio:1 II, and yourself
in an Enforcement Conference held in the Region II Office on March 3, 1986.
The licensee-identified violation described in the enclosed Notice of Violation
involved the undetected passage of a packaged and assembled Ruger mini-14 rifle
into the protected area.
The violation was discovered when a mail clerk observed
that the invoice for the package listed gun parts and delivered the package to
the security offices.
The second violation involved inadequate control of a
secondary access portal.
In accordance with the
11General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC
Enforcement Actions,
11 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), violation A has been
classified as a Severity Level III violation and violation Bas a Severity
Level IV violation.
Normally, a civil penalty is proposed for a Severity Level
III violation.
However, after consultation with the Director, Office of
Inspection and Enforcement, I have decided that a civil penalty will not be
proposed in this case because of your prompt identification and reporting of
the incident and your timely corrective actions.
