This refers to the investigation conducted by Messrs. G. A. Phillip,

J. L. Belanger and J. F. Donahue of this of fice during the period

April 24 to May 23, 1978, of activities at the Dresden Station

enthorized by NRC Operating Licenses No. DPR-2, No. DPR-19 and No.

DPR-25. At a meeting in the Region III offices on June 22, 1978,

.

rne findings were discussed between Mr. Byron Lee and me and other

members of our respective staffs.

This investigation was conducted regarding irregularities in guard

weapons qualification and the falsification of related records as

well as the falsification of vital area door check records as

identified by and reported to us by your security staff. The

investigation consisted of an examination of pertinent procedures

and records and inNrviews of personnel.

This also refers to our letter dated April 25, 1978, confirming

understandings reached during a telephone conversation on

April 21, 1978 between Messrs. Byron Lee and Larry Bean of your

staff, and Messrs. J. F. Donahue and J. L. Belanger of this office

regarding the corrective actions to be taken and to the inspec-

tion conducted on June 20, 1978 by Mr. J. L. Belanger and

j

Ms. G. M. Christoffer of this office. The latter inspection

i

confirmed that the corrective actions had been completed.

l

Phile the failure to adequately train guards and check vital area

doors is not in accordance with regulatory requirements, consistent

with our normal practices, we are not issuing a Notice of Violation

for these items because of Commonwealth Edison's identification of

1

.

these problems and corrective action. We request your assurances,

however, that your internal audits of guard contractor performance

and the records provided as evidence of training will confirm the

adequacy of your security plan cot:mitments as well as provide a

capability for detecting any anomalies which may impact, on the
