office on November 3-7, 1980, at Beaver Valley Power Station, Shippingport,

. Pennsylvania, of activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-66 and to the

~ discussions of our findings held by Mr. Smith with Mr. J. A. Werling of your

staff at the conclusion of the inspection. This is also in response to your,

letter of October 30, 1980.

Areas examined during this inspection ara described in the Office of Inspection

and Enforcement Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the

inspector.

Our. inspector also verified the steps you have taken to correct the items of

noncompliance brought to your attention in the enclosure to our letter dated

July 31, 1980. We have no further questions regarding your. actions at this

time.

.

In addition, our inspection examined those actions agreea to in a meeting

between you and members of your staff and Mr. J. Allan and members of my staff

on July 18, 1980 as documented in v letter of July 21, 1980. We have no

further questions regarding your actions taken as a result of Items 1, 2.b, 3,

4., 5 and 6.

With regard to Item 2.ar, we note that ycu have again failed to

meet the committed date which required you to have all security equipment

installed and operational. The original date established by you for installa-

l

tion and implementation of the several security components was December 18,

l

1979. This date was not met and notification that you had not met this date

t

was not made to the NRC until June 20, 1980 as a consequence of an item of

,

'

noncompliance identified during an inspection on June 16-20, 1980. Your

l

letter dated June 20, 1980 committed to the completion and operation of the

Physical Security Plan as specified in Amendment No.16, to DPR-66 by December,

1980. As a result of the management meeting on July 18, 1980 between you and

other members of your staff and Mr. J. Allan, the agreement understood was

that all required security equipmer.t would be in place and ready for pre-opera-

tional testing by November 1, 1980 and operational by December 31, 1980.
