Subject:

Manacement Controls fo. Security Screening

Dear Mr.-Davis:

This letter is in response to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Ictter dated November 29, 1989, which transmitted NRC Inspection Report 50 461/89031. In the Inspection Report, . the NRC noted that internal reviews were not completed to determine why falsified interim security screening records had not been discovered during an Illinois Power Company (IP) Quality Assutance (QA) audit of the security screening contractor. The NRC requested that IP identify the actions being taken to ensure that falsification of interim security screening records would be detected in a timely manner in the future.

IP has reviewed the security screening program and determined that the overall program is generally sound. Improvements have beer made in the interim access portion of the security screening program. 2cch security screening file is now being reviewed for interim aco:&s requirements as the files are received. This practice is scheduled to be incorporated into the security screening procedure by January 3, 1990 11P's QA audit group has revised the auditing procedure to require a verification of interim access requirements during the audit process.

The Clinton Power Station Technical Specifications require that QA audit the security program annually. Incorporation of the interim requirements' review into a security screening procedure and the

' verification in the revised audit procedure will assure timely detection of similar problems.

Sincerely yours,
