SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-325/96-17 AND 50-324/96-17 AND

<

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

'

Dear Mr. Campbell: ,

On November 15,1996, the NRC completed a special inspection involving three lock .

!

tampering events at your Brunswick Nuclear Plant facilities.

Overall, Brunswick's response to the actual tampering events on November 8,1996 was

excellent. However, the inspector noted that there was a failure to report the events within

one hour to the NRC. In addition, the control room was not notified of the tampering events

in a timely macner.

Based on the results of the inspeJion, the NRC has determined that a violation of NRC

requirements occurred. The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice), and

the circumstances surrounding it are described in detail in the subject inspection 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 requirements.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and ,

its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR). '
