4 APPENDIX NOTICE OF VIOLATION Gulf States Utilities Docket:
50-458 River Bend Station License: NPF-47 During an NRC inspection conducted on January 19-22, 1993, an unresolved item was identified.
Based on the followup discussions, it was determined that the Unrernlved Item involved a violation of NRC requirements. The violation concerned the failure to implement a procedure that satisfied Physical Security Plan requirements.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:
Inadeauate Safeguards Contingency Procedure and Implementation Condition 2.0 of the River Bend Station Operating License NPF-47, requires 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).
Threat Event M4 (Alarm System Outage) of the contingency portion of the Physical Security Plan requires response force members to control paths from the protected area barrier to the vital complex barrier.
In addition, the security Response Force members must control access to the vital islands.
Paragraph 1.3.3 (Security Concept of Operations) states, in part, "The RBS security concept of operations is based on the following:
4.
Delay of intruders short of the VI's by barriers and the Security / Response Force until the arrival of LLEA support."
Paragraph 3.1.2.a states that the Director-Nuclear Station Security is responsible for assuring security force members are trained to respond to safeguards contingencies.
The Introduction Section of the Physical Security Plan states that security procedures provide the detailed instructions necessary to implement the plan.
Contrary to the above, the licensee implemented Security Contingency Procedure PSP-4-409 on January 6, 1993, without ensuring that the contingency measures detailed in the procedure would meet security plan requirements. The procedure did not include actions to interdict intruders prior to their reaching the vital islands which is in violation of the contingency portion of the Physical Security Plan.
In addition, the licensee did not adequately train the security force on the requirements of the procedure.
