Mr. Ralph Under

Dear Mr. Under:

This ic in recronne to yctr letter of June 4,1975, in t:hich you

request an investication of security operationn at all nuclear

powr planta. Your recucct ia pronpted by "...the cerious prob-

icas at Three Mile Island and Mil.1ctonc."

An invectir.ation has been ec pleted of the allegationn nde by

tha tro for.,cr tatch.cn at the Fctropolitan rdicen's Three Mile

Icicnd site. A copy of the inventication report is enclosed.

The IntC investigation hoc identified three infractions of ;u;ency

regulations. Thece relate to the inndcquacy of centrol over gace

locks and keyn; the % deccacy of the cyrt= cf accccc cont ci

to H.im_w.1 huild w.u; ana tne encry or a tratch'an into the

f

centrol ronn.

It chould he noted that these conditienc occurred

and ucre corrected t: ell before tha teatchnen ende their allerotions.

The allegation that a rate ras rc~oved fron its hin;cs Uts con-

firaed, though the incident did not result in a threat to tbc

plcut's recurity. The investication further found that the ratch-

non's diminsal tuo not ralnted to their complaint regardinc cecurity.

~

One allegation dealt 5:ith security conditionc at another nuclecr

'

plant in tha snac Three Mile Island cornlex. 'Ihis nicnt is still

under conntruction and is not yet cubject to I'RC'o security require-

ments. Othcr alleccticen reinted to conditions, belott the level

of infractionc,tthich h:d been corrected prior to the dcte of the

allegatienc. Thece ine]ude the report of probleau t'1th the elec-

trcnic ci.evcillance synten and tha allegation that on several

occcolona, patroln vore f; 1nely leg,cd in en having taken place.

Still other :llocations were ot conff r:d. The ':".C is fully

catisfied that at thic time, the pinnt's phycical protection pro-

grnt necta all ap?liceble G C require entc.

IC ingcetcro have

.

also verified the correr.tien cf certain ite..c of noncozpliance

in the physical accurity progrnn at Millctone.

Due to the ndiition cf the requircrent for reactor phynical eccurity

p. lana in April 1974, cad subsequent revicibnc of rcactor licenca

cbnditiono, we have devoted specini attention to the inspection

of phynical necurity durine; the .last year.

Since March 1974,

URC incpectors have devoted in encesa of 200 ran-dava at forty-

ono plant sites inspectire, phycical cecurity. Phycical security

reviewn and inspacticus are ccnducted pr;!ar to the incunnce of

operating licenses. Unannounced reinspections at operating plants

are part of cur routina int.pcetion progren.

As a recult cf tha nhova findings, and inapection efforts, we do

not concider that there are scrions security probicna at the

Three Milo Inlan-1 md Millateno citas, ila helieve nur inspcerion

progran in ahic to identify prob 1ces and insure necessary corrective

action in a timely canner.

Ue appreciato your concerna. It la ocr belief that phycical pro-

tccticn programo for nuclecr potter reactora nunt bn carefully

forr:ulated, evalus.tel, inplenented end inspected. We consider

adequate phycical accurity to be a ratter of high prioritf.

Thank you ter your intercat in this ratter.

.

Sinecrcly,
