Dear Mr. Gipson:
i'
'
!
' On February 7,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your Formi 2 reactor facility.
?
Onsite inspections were conducted during the periods of December 2-6,1996'and
!
{
January 13-24,1997. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
i.
1
j
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within these areas, the
!
i-
inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative records,
I
interviews with a large number of personnel, and observation of activities in progress. The
l
objective of the inspection effort was to determine whether activities authorized by the
,
j
license were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements. The summary
3
i
j
contained in the report provides an overview of our assessment of your security program
!
l
performance.
,f
,
j
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that a violation of NRC
i
!
requirements occurred. The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice)
.
,
j
and the circumstances pertaining to the violation are described in detail in the enclosed
I
'
report. The violation is of concern because it was identified by the NRC and demonstrated
!
!
lack of attention to detail by your security staff in complying with a requirement to obtain
I
personal consent prior to initiating background investigation activities. This violation is
being cited because it was not identified through self assessments.
i
,
I
The NRC has concluded that infonnation regarding the reason for the violation, the
.
corrective actions taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence is
!
addressed in Section S5 of the Report Details. Therefore, you are not required to respond
i
to the Notice of Violation unless the information in the Notice and Section S5 of the
l
j
Report Details does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or your position, or if you
"
choose to provide additional information.
i
,
Self-identified issues such as poor security management credibility, high security force
!
4
l.
turnover rate, continued adverse performance trends, and communication weaknesses
were confirmed during our inspection effort and represented a significant challenge to the
,
j
security force management team,
