This letter refers to the special safeguards insnection conducted by Messrs.
R. J. Albert and G. C. Smith of this office on August 29-31, 1990, of
activities authorized by NRC License No. OPR-28 and to the discussions of our
findings held by Mr. Smith with Mr. Reid and other members of your staff at
the conclusion of the inspection.
The area examinad duMng thi: in: pact Ma 4= daeceihad in the MP.C P,c;,en !
Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. Within this area, the
inspection consisted of :clective examinations of procedures and
representative recons, interviews with personnel, and observations by the
inspectors.
Based on' the results of this inspection, it appears that two of your
activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set
forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
These
violations have been categorized by severity level in accordance with the
" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (Enforcement Policy). You are required to respond to
this letter, and in preparing your response, you should follow the
instructions in Appendix A.
As described in Section 2.3 of the enclosed inspection report, since 1978 the
NRC has issued several notifications to licensecs concerning the potential-for
1
inadequate / falsified rer.ords. . Pre-employment screening records were parti-
cularly emphasized in two of these notifications, one of which (Information Notice 88-26) specifically alerted licensees to the need for conducting
appropriate audits (as required by 10 CFR 73.55(g)) of contractors who conduct
pre-employment screening. Despite these cautionary notifications, Violation A
in the enclosed Not!ce of Violation resulted from your failure to include such
audits in your program. Accordingly, in your response to Violation A, please
give particular attention to the reasons for your failure to" conduct the
required audits and to your plans for assuring that comprehensive security
program audits are conducted in the future.
