L DOCUMENT CONTAINS SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Gulf States Utilities Docket:
50-458 River Bend Station License: NPF-47 1
During an NRC inspection conducted on March'8-12, 1993, two violations of NRC requirements were identified. The violations involved a failure to adequately account for keycards and a failure to maintain an uninterruptible power supply to the security systems.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violations are listed below:
Condition 2.D of the River Bend Station Operating License NPF-47 requires that the licensee maintain in effect and fully implement all provisions of the Commission approved Physical Security Plan. This includes amendments and changes made pursuant to the authority of 10 CFR 50.54(p).
A.
Failure to Maintain Keycard Accountability The Introduction Section of the Physical Security Plan states that security procedures provide the detailed instructions necessary to implement the plan.
Security Position Instruction, Procedure SPI-12, paragraph 3.2.4(1) states, in part, " Supervise the inventory of all KCs (Keycards) and VKCs (Visitor Keycards) as follows:" Paragraph 3.2.4(1)(i) states, "Using the SUP1 console, log out KCs displayed as [in] the PA but in the rack.
Prepare a SECFM 115, Security Incident Report."
Contrary to the above, the inspectors identified that on August 24, 1992, and March 1,1993, keycards were displayed as being in the protected area when, in fact, the badges were in the security badge racks. The keycard inventory did not identify the discrepancy in the keycard accountability program.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement III) (458/9308-01).
