Attention: Mr. John J. Mattimoe

and Chief Engineer
Gentlemen:
Subject:
NRC Inspection - Rancho Seco
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. Harvey L. Canter of this office
on October 1-31, 1979, of activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-54, and
to the discussion of our findings held by Mr. Canter with Mr. Pierre Oubre and
other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the enclosed inspection
report.
Within this area, the inspection consisted of selective examinations
of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and obser-
vations by the inspector.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your activities
was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set forth in the
flotice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
This item of noncompliance
has been categorized into a level as described in our correspondence to all NRC
licensees dated December 31, 1974.
The information in Appendix A relates to your
physical security program, and therefore, is exempt from public disclosure pur-
suant to Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code
of Federal Regulations. Accordingly, Appendix A will not be placed in the Public
Document Room.
This notice is sent to you pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.201, of the
flRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations.
Sec-
tion 2.201 requires you to submit to this office, within twenty (20) days of
your receipt of this notice, a written statement or explanation in reply includ-
ing (1) corrective steps which have been taken by you and the results achieved;
(2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (3) the
date when full compliance will be achieved.
Your response should be prepared so
that information which relates to your physical security program is included in
a separate enclosure since this information will not be placed in the Public
Document Room.

The findings during this inspection reveal an apparent item of noncompliance,
regarding failure to secure a vital area, which is repetitive or similar to
items of noncompliance that have been identified during previous NRC inspec-
tions. Reference is made to f1RC Inspections 50-312/78-09, 50-312/78-13, 50-312/
78-14, and 50-312/79-19.
When viewed collectively, our recent inspection find-
ings show that, while actions have been initiated by the Sacramento fiunicipal
Utility District to upgrade the security operations of the Rancho Seco Plant,
the actions taken to date have not been sufficient to prevent apparent recur-
rences of similar items of noncompliance with NRC requirements.
In addition
to your response to the apparent item of noncompliance identified in Appendix A,
please provide us a written explanation of the steps you plan to take to assure
that additional items of noncompliance do not occur regarding failure to control
access into vital areas.
In accordance tvith Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the enclosed
inspection report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
If this
report contains any information that you believe to be proprietary, it is
necessary that you submit a written application to this office, within 20 days
of the date of this letter, requesting that such information be withheld from
public disclosure.
The application must include a full statement of the reasons
why it is claimed that the information is proprietary. The application should
be prepared so that any proprietary information identified is contained in an
enclosure to the application, since the application without the enclosure will
also be placed in the Public Document Room.
If we do not hear from you in this
regard within the specified period, the report will be placed in the Public
Document Room.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be glad to
discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
/.
