SUBJECT:
FALSIFICATION OF PLANT RECORDS This refers to the NRC inspection conducted on July 13 through August 31, 1992, at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant to review, in part, the actions taken by you to determine the potential for record falsification at your facility.
Information Notice (IN) 92-30, " Falsification of 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. After receipt of the IN, you performed an initial review of your records and did not identify any examples of falsified records. When NRC found there had been some instances of inaccurate documentation of rounds, you then performed a second expanded review and identified additional examples of records that you determined were incomplete or inaccurate.
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 log taking and record keeping, such misconduct cannot be tolerated. Therefore, the NRC is issuing the enclosed Notice of Violation i
(Notice) to document that concern and to emphasize your management's fGOI responsibility to assure that your records are complete and accurate. After considering the facts of this case, including the corrective actions taken i9 (disciplinary action against the offending individuals and/or program upgrades to improve the log keeping process), the NRC has decided not to assign a severity level to the violation, nor require a response to the Notice.
However, NRC is concerned that management followup to the NRC's notification (via IN 92-30) of a potential problem was not effective in identifying the inaccurate records without additional action by NRC.
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)),

OCT 151993 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 10 CFR 50.5).
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of E
this letter will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR).
