SEP 2 3 $77 Docket Nos. 50-269 50-270 and 50-287 Duke Power Company ATTN: Mr. William 0. Parker, Jr.
Vice President - Steam Production Post Office Box 2178 422 South Church Street Charlotte, North Carolina 28242 Gentlemen:
RE: OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2 & 3 Enclosed is a Federal Register Notice of a petition for rulemaking regarding physical searches of individuals entering a protected area of a nuclear power plant and a copy of a proposed NRC regula-tion which would require clearances for those individuals who are permitted unescorted access within nuclear power plants.
The Comission is assessing the implications of these two actions, particularly the " pat down" searches of individuals, and their value as elements of the total physical protection system needed for nuclear power olants.
Also, the Comission is concerned with the potential effects on employee effectiveness and morale of the physical search and other requirements for the physical protection of nuclear reactors currently specified in 10 CFR 73.55.
i l
In this regard, the Comission is endeavoring to identify alternatives
(
that achieve the needed protection of nuclear power plants when I
combined with the other elements of the total plant security system.
The Comission wants a broad base of public coment on these issues and, recognizing that physical searches and the obtaining of government clearances directly affect your employees, the Comission requests that you inform them of this notice of rulemaking and of the proposed j
clearance rule, and of the desire of the Comission to obtain comments directly from those who are or would be most affected.
