O NOTICE OF VIOLATION Gulf States Utilities Docket No. 50-458 River Bend Station License No. NPF-47 EA 93-118 During an NRC inspection conducted April 20-23, 1993, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed:
Condition 2.D of River Bend Station Operating License NPF-47 requires the licensee to maintain in effect and fully implement all provisions of the Commission approved Physical Security Pian.
This includes amendments and changes made pursuant to the authority of 10 CFR 50.54(p).
The Introduction Section of the Physical Security Plan states that security procedures provide the detailed instructions necessary to implement the plan.
Paragraph 2.1 of the Training and Qualification Plan requires the licensee to conduct periodic exercises to maintain the effectiveness of the security force in contingency reponse tasks.
Procedure PSP-4-501, " Training Program (Security Force Drills)," as revised by Interim Procedure Change 4-501-3-2, dated October 29, 1992, states in Section 5.0, in part, that security force drills are conducted to provide training for the security force in reacting to safeguard contingencies.
Section 6.3 of this procedure, " Drill Rules," states, in part, that: 1) all communications relating to a drill, by whatever means, shall be preceded and followed by "This is a drill"; and 2) revolvers and shotguns in firing order shall not be drawn or carried during the drill.
Contrary to the above, on April 16, 1993, a security force drill was conducted to provide training of the security force in reacting to safeguard contingencies and the above drill rules were not followed.
Specifically,1) all communications relating to the drill were not preceded and followed by "This is a drill" (the term Code Blue was used instead); and 2) revolvers that were in firing order were carried and drawn by drill participants.

violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice,'an order or a demand for information may be issued to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. -Consideration may be given to extending the response time for good cause shown.
Under the authority of Section 182 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 2232, this response shall be submitted under oath or affirmation.
