PECO Energy letter dated August 9,1996, which provided a Special Report for Peach
-
Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS) conceming improperty controlled drawings and
aperture cards containing SGI at various PECO Energy facilities,
PECO Energy letters dated September 30,1996, which supplemented the Special
-
Reports for LGS and PBAPS conceming improperly controlled drawings and aperture
cards containing SGI,
PECO Energy letter dated January 21,1997, which supplemented the Special Report
-
for LGS concoming improperty controlled drawings and aperture cards containin0 SGI at
various PECO Energy facilities, and
PECO Energy letter dated January 21,1997, which provided a respra se to the apparent
-
violation contained in NRC Inspection Report Nos. 50-277/9611, 50-278/96-11, 50-
352/96-06 and 50-353/96 08.
In the January 21,1997, response to the apparent violation, a commitment was made to
l
standardize procedures for handling and distributing SGI by March 1997. These procedures
have been revised and implemented. Additional procedures were identified that require revision
'
to direct users to utilize the newly revised standardized procedures. These additional procedures
i
will be revised by June 1997.
As previously noted in the referenced documentation, an actual security compromise did not
occur. In addition, we feel the protective measures in place to prevent unauthorized access
could have prevented an actual degradation from occurring. We appreciate your
acknowledgmerd that our corrective actions to address these issues were swift and
comprehensive.
If you have any questions or desire additional information, do not hesitate to contact us.
Sirprely,
p.a. Ahnph .
