SUBJECT:
FALSIFICATION OF PLANT RECORDS (NRC INSPECTION REPORTS 50-313/92-11;
50-368/92-11 and 50-313/92-14; 50-368/92-14)
This refers to the NRC inspection conducted on August 2 through September 12,
1992, at Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2, to review, in part, the actions
,
taken by you to determine the potential for record falsification at your
!
facility.
Information Notice 92-30, " Falsification or Plant Records," was
.
issued on April 23, 1992, to alert all licensees of the NRC's concern that
'
'
plant mechanics, technicians, and operators may have falsified plant records
at several nuclear plants.
As a result of your review, you identified three
Unit I nonlicensed operators who had documented log readings or door checks
inconsistent with the security door data.
The NRC is concerned about the apparent misconduct on the part of the plant
personnel involved with those records.
Because the NRC must be able to rely
on the professionalism and integrity of personnel who perform safety-related
activities, including logtaking and recordkeeping, such misconduct cannot be
tolerated.
Therefore, +he NRC is issuing the enclosed Notice of
Violation (Notice) to document that concern and to emphasize your management's
responsibility to assure . hat your records are complete and accurate.
However, after considering the facts of this case, including your
'
identification of the viola?. ions and the corrective actions taken (both
disciplinary action against the offending individuals and program upgrades to
improve the logtaking process), the NRC has decided not to assign a severity
level to the violations, nor require a response to the Notice.
In the future, similar violations may result in escalated enforcement action.
,
in addition, enforcement action can be taken against not only the facility
licensee for the inaccurate or incomplete information (see 10 CFR 50.9(a)),
but also against any individual who engages in deliberate misconduct that
causes or, but for detection, would have caused a licensee to be in violation
of a requirement for providing accurate information to you or the NRC (see
