 Gentlemen:
 SUBJECT:     REPORT NOS. 50-348/84-27 AND 50-364/84-27
 On October 9-11, 1984, a special safeguards inspection was conducted concerning
 activities authorized by NRC License Nos. NPF-2 and NPF-8 for your Farley I and 2
 facility. At the conclusion of the inspection and at an Enforcement Conference
 on October 30, 1984, the findings were discussed with you and members of your
 staff.
 The purpose of this inspection was to evaluate the significance of the licensee's
 failure to maintain adequate administrative controls over the conduct of a
 security drill which resulted in the introduction of unauthorized material into
 the protected area.
 The inspection findings indicate that certain activities violated NRC require-
 ments. The violations, references to pertinent requirements, and elements to be
 included in your response are presented in the enclosed Notice of Violation.
 The NRC strongly supports the use of drills as a valuable method of assessing
 the adequacy of the security force training program. However, we believe the
 lack of administrative controls demonstrated in this case is a serious matter
 and deserves management's attention. Consequently, in your reply, you should
 describe in particular the actions taken to improve the effectiveness of your
 safeguards administrative control system.
 In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(d) and 10 CFR 73.21, safeguards activities and
 security measures are exempt from public disclosure; therefore, the enclosures to
 this letter, with the exception of the report cover page which presents a
 nonexempt summary, will not be placed in NRC's Public Document Room.
 The responses directed by this letter and the enclosures are not subject to the
 clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget issued under the
 Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
 Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact us.
                                             Sincerely,
