NOTICE OF VIOLATION Northern States Power Company Dockets No.
50-282; 50-306 Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Licenses No.
DPR-42, DPR-60 Plant, Units 1 and 2 EA 92-096
't During an NRC inspection conducted from November 20, 1990, to January 14, 1991, and a subsequent NRC investigation, violations of NRC requirements were identified.
In accordance with the
" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1990), the particular violations are set forth below:
A.
10 CFR 26.27(a) requires, in part, that prior to the initial granting of unescorted access to a protected area, the licensee shall complete a suitable inquiry on a best-efforts basis to determine if that person was, in the past, subject to a plan for treating substance abuse. If such a record is established, the granting of unescorted access must be based upon a management and medical determination of fitness for duty and the establishment of an appropriate follow-up testing program.
Contrary to the above, from June 28, 1990 to October 24, 1990, the licensee granted unescorted access to the protected area to an individual who, in the past, had been subject to a plan for treating substance abuse and the licensee did not make a management and medical determination regarding the individual's fitness for duty and did not establish an appropriate follow-up testing program.
B.
Section 2.c(3)a of Amendment 85 to License No. DPR-42 and Section 2.,c(3)a of Amendment No. 78 to License No. DPR-60 require the licensee to fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Security Plan, including i
amendments and changes made pursuant to the authority of 10 CFR 50. 54 (p).
Section 1.2.1.3. " Armed Personnel Requirements - Addiction",
in Revision 8 of the approved Northern States Power
" Security Force Training & Qualification Plan," dated April 12, 1988, requires in part, that armed personnel must have no established medical history or medical diagnosis of habitual alcoholism or, where such a condition has existed, the individual must provide certified documentation of having completed a rehabilitation program which would give a reasonable degree of confidence that the individual would be capable of performing assigned security duties.
Contrary to the above, from September 6, 1990 to October 24, 1990, the licensee permitted an individual to act as an armed guard notwithstanding the fact that the individual had a medical history of habitual alcoholirm and had failed l
rehabilitation, resulting in his not being able to provide certified documentation of having completed a rehabilitation program.
