Dear Mr. Slade:

SUBJECT:

REVIEW 0F SECURITY CONCERNS AT PALISADES

This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. T. J. Madeda of this office on

March 1-5, 1993. The inspection included a review of activities authorized

for your Palisades Nuclear Power Plant. At the conclusion of the inspection,

the findings were discussed with those members of your staff identified in the

enclosed report.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within

,

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

activities in progress.

Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared

,

to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of

Violation (Notice). The violation is of concern because it demonstrated weak

management overview resulting in a failure to properly search personnel

entering the protected area.

.

Although 10 CFR 2.201 requires you to submit to this office, within 20 days of

your receipt of this Notice, a written statement of explanation, we note that

this violation had been corrected and those actions were reviewed during this

e

inspection.

Therefore, no response with respect to this matter is required.

!

Areas examined during this inspection concern a subject matter which is exempt

from disclosure according to Part 73, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations,

Section 73.21(c)(2). This information must be handled and protected in

,

accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 73.21. Consequently, the enclosure

to this letter and our report of this inspection will not be placed in the NRC

Public Document Room.
