Page 1 of 2 NOTICE OF VIOLATION (445/9304-01)
During an NRC inspection conducted on January 4-6, 1993, one violation of HRC requirements was identified. The violation involved a failure to search packages entering the protected area.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions " 10 CFR Part i
- 2. Appendix C, the violation is listed below:
Inadeauate Access Control - Packaoes License Condition 2.H of the CPSES. Unit 1 Facility 0perating License j
~
NPF-87 states, in part, 'TU Electric shall fully -implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Physical Security Plan..
previously l
approved by the Commission...."
)
t Paragraph 6.2.4.2 of the Physical Security Plan requires that all packages l
will be searched prior to entering the protected area.
l Contrary to the above, on January 5, 1993, the inspector determined-that the f
licensee was not searching all packages' prior to their entering the protected area.
Specifically, the security force trainers were bypassing j
the search equipment at the primary and alternate access points when l
returning gun cases. equipment boxes, and ammunition cases to the armory inside the protected area after conducting range firing training.
i t
RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION l
(445/9304-01) f I
TV Electric accepts the violation and the requested information follows:
l 1.
Reason for Violation Security training personnel mistakenly believed that if they accompanied and controlled items taken -out of the Protected Area (PA), then those same items would not have to be searched upon re-entry.
In addition, they believed that since the items would be inventoried / searched in the
{
armory, this verified that no unauthorized contraband entered the PA.
The armory is located immediately inside the entry. turnstiles at the Alternate Access Point (AAP).
