Review of November 19, 1985 Incident

Duquesne Light Company (DLC) reviewed the details of the November 19, 1985

incident and agreed that the details in Inspection Report 50-334/85-26 were

accurate.

The incident involved a radiological technician, authorized for

entry, who neglected to obtain his identification (ID) badge upon re-entering

the protected area and was allowed to enter by the access control guards.

He later discovered that he had no badge and reported it as lost.

The ID

badge was found in its proper place in the badge rack at the gate.

Corrective Actions

a.

To prevent entry without a badge, DLC has activated the previously in-

stalled card readers on the turnstiles. This occurred on November 22,

1985.

b.

To prevent entry with the wrong badge, the badge issue procedure was

revised to include specific actions required of the guards, and the

guards were trained in the new procedure.

The revised issuing procedure

was implemented on November 22, 1985.

c.

To prevent improper handling of lost badges, the procedure logging in

returned badges has been revised.

This was accomplished following the

November 1984 lost badge incident.

d.

Disciplinary action was taken against the guards directly involved in

the wrong badge and no badge incidents and against the plant personnel

,

in the last no badge incident.

e.

To further emphasize the importance of access control measures, memoranda

dated September 20 and November 27, 1985 were issued to plant personnel

and the security force stating that everyone is responsible for following

access control procedures and that failure to do so would be the basis

for disciplinary action.

5.

Enforcement Action

The enforcement action for the November 19, 1985 incident was not discussed

with DLC.

Subsequent to the meeting, the enforcement action was decided and

is presented in the transmittal letter.
