SUBJECT: NRC SECURITY INSPECTION REPORTS NO. 50-266/96017(DRS);

50-301/96017(DRS)

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Patulski:

On December 2,1996, the NRC completed a security inspection of your Point

Beach I and 2 reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the results of  !

that inspection. l

l

During the inspection period, we found your security program to be adequate to '

protect public health and safety. We are concerned, however, about two

violations of NRC requirements that were identified. In the first instance,

an NRC inspector determined that, due to personnel errors and ineffective

licensee corrective action for a previous NRC identified violation, alarm

station operators failed to implement a compensatory measure in a timely

manner. Routine enforcement action was considered appropriate because the  ;

failure by your security force was personnel related and not programmatic. In j

the second instance, an NRC inspector identified that, due to ineffective i

procedural guidance and training activities, a security officer failed to l

conduct an adequate search of a vehicle.

These violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation, and the

circumstances surrounding the violations are described in detail in the

enclosed report. Please note that you are required to respond to this letter

and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when

preparing your response. The NRC will use your response, in part, to

determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance

with regulatory equirements.

Also of concern, was a failure by your site security organization to

adequately maintain a vehicle barrier, due to security management's decision

not to establish procedural guidance for your site vehicle protection program.

Details are described in the enclosed report.

The material enclosed herewith contains Safeguards Information as defined by

10 CFR 73.21 and its disclosure to unauthorized individuals is prohibited by

Section 147 of the
