This refers to the insoection conaucted by Messrs. R. Calcwell anc 3. Earnest
of this office on February 25-26, 1991.
The insoection inciuced a review of
activities authorizea for your River Bena Station facility. At the conclusion
of the insoection, the findings were discussea witn those :emoers of your staff
identified in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identifiec in tne report.
Within
- hese areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of crocecures
Tna representative records, interviews with cersonnel, ana 00servation Of
octivities in progress.
Basea on the results of this inscection, one of your activities acoearea tc ce
in violation of NRC requirements as specifiec in :ne enciosec Notice of
Violation (NOV). We are concerneo aoout the violation because you reaucea :ne
size of the security organization without firs: cnanging the croceaures anc
policies necessary to prevent a degracation of :ne effectiveness of :ne
security organization.
On February 3, 1991, after reducing ne size of :ne security organi:ation i,
January, your quality assurance organization issueo a recort icentifying
inadeouate security snift staffing required to satisfy ne reouirements of
Procedure PSP-4-409. On February 25, Region IV insoectors ceterminea :nat
security shift staffing had not been added to meet these reouirements.
Although your organization identified this proolem, corrective actions were not
initiated to address the staffing inaceauacies until Marcn 7, 1991, anen
memoers of your staff stated teleononically that precedure cnanges were to ce
issued Marcn 8, 1991, and all applicable RBS security personnel would be
exercised on this procedure by Maren 13, 1991. As a result of the failure to
promptly resolve this issue, we believe that there was aiminished effectiveness
in the security program because of this untimely cnange in proceaure ana lack
of training in the execution of the changed procedure.
You are reauired to respond to this letter and snould follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when precaring your resconse.
