Rosemead, CA 91770 Gentlemen:

As a result of a routine unannounced NRC physical protection inspection conducted January 10-12, and February 8-12, 1982 at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 1, apparent violations associated with the implementation of your physical security plan were identified. We are particularly concerned about the apparent weakness in the management oversight and supervision in your security program. These problems were discussed during a site visit by the Director of the Office of Inspection and Enforcement, the Director of the Di/ision of Safeguards, NMSS, and myself on May 18, 1982. The issues and possible courses for correcting the problems were also discussed at a meeting between your staff and Region V on March 10, 1982.

The violations described in the Appendix to this letter, when taken in total, indicate inadequate management control of the physical security program at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. After consultation with the Director of the Office of Inspection and Enforcement, I have been authorized to issue the enclosed Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of Sixty Thousand Dollars. This action is taken in order to emphasize the need for greater management attention to physical protection.

You are required to respond to the Appendix and you should follow the instruc-tions specified in the Appendix in preparing your response.

In your reply you should give particular attention to those actions designed to increase the effectiveness of the management of your security program in order to ensure continuing compliance with NRC requirements in this area. As part of your l

response to the enclosed Notice of Violation, you are required to submit a written plan, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(f), which details the steps you will take to remedy problems associated with respcnses to security alarms and reduce the potential for future violations in that area. The plan should describe what actions you have taken to assure that the underlying causes are well understood and corrected. Specifically, this plan should assure positive access control in order to improve the physical security at your plant, and shall include:

(1) a description of actions to be taken, including the details concerning any necessary changes to equipment, procedures, and personnel, (2) a schedule, with important milestones, for completion of all steps, (3) docu-mentation requirements, and (4) description of the steps to follow up the actions l

During our May 18, 1982 meeting you indicated that you planned to procure and install a new central processing unit and may install additional key card controls. The above plan should include specific details concerning these actions and schedules for their completion. After reviewing the plan, we will consider whether to formalize it or require modification of it by way of an order.

In addition to our concerns related to access controls, we also discussed during our meeting broader issues related to overall physical security at the facility.

In that regard, we understand that you intend to undertake a complete review of your physical security plan for submittal to NMSS.

You should include in your response to this letter your schedule for this review and your expected submittal date to NMSS.
