SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-302/97-03
Dear Mr. Anderson:
This refers to the inspection conducted on March 17-21,1997, at the Crystal River Nuclear
Plant Unit 3 facility. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether activities
authorized by the license were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC requirements.
At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your
staff identified in the enclosed report. The enclosed report presents the results of this
inspection.
The areas examined during this inspection are identified in the report. Within these areas,
the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative records,
interviews with personnel, and observations of activities in progress.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that a violation of NRC
requirements occurred. This violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and
the circumstances surrounding it are described in detailin the subject inspection report. This
violation is of particular concem because three security officers, including a supervisor,
deliberately conspired to cover up the loss of a security badge. The NRC' expects
supervisors to set the standards for employee conduct as well as ensure that subordinate
employees comply with Florida Power Corporation and NRC requirements. A copy of the
NRC Office of Investigation Synopsis is provided as Enclosure 3.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the
enclosed Notice when preparing your response. In preparing your response, we request
that you also specifically address the extent of condition of security deficiencies to determine
if previously lost or misplaced badges, or badges taken offsite were properly handled in
accordance with the provisions outlined in your Physical Security Plan and implementing
procedures. The NRC will use your response, in part, to determine whether further
enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

Additionally, based on the results of this inspection, one apparent violation was identified and
is being considered for 6scalated enforcement action in accordance with the " General
Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions"(Enforcement Policy),
NUREG-1600. Your continued failure to protect Safeguards Information, which is discussed
in Paragraph S4.3 of this report, is of paiticular concem because the NRC expects licensees
to, provide lasting and effective corrective actions. The circumstances surrounding this
apparent violation, the significance of the issue, and your apparent inadequate corrective
j
action were discussed with members of your staff at the inspection exit meeting on March 21,
1997. As a result, it may not be necessary to conduct a predecisional enforcement
conference in order to enable the NRC to make an enforcement decision. However, a Notice
of Violation is not presently being issued for these inspection findings. Before the NRC
makes its enforcement decision, we are providing you an opportunity to either (1) respond to
the apparent violation addressed in this inspection report within 30 days of the date of this
letter or (2) requu,i a g edecisional enforcement conference. Please contact Paul
Fredrickson at (404) 331-3596 within seven days of the date of this letter to notify the NRC of
your intended response.
Your response, if you choose to provide one, should be clearly marked as a " Response to An
!
Apparent Violation in Inspecuan Report No. 50-302/97-03" and should include for the
apparent violation: (1) the reason for the apparent violation, or, if contested, the basis for
disputing the apparent violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results
achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the
date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response should be submitted under oath
or affirmation and may reference or include previously docketed correspondence, if the
correspondence adequately addresses the required response. If an adequate response is
not received within the time specified or an extension of time has not been requested by the
licensee and granted by the NRC, the NRC will proceed with its enforcement decision or
schedule s predecisional enforcement conference.
In addition, please be advised that the characterization of the apparent violation described in
the enclosed inspection report may change as a result of further NRC review. You will be
advised by separate correspondence of the results of our deliberations on this matter.
The material enclosed herewith contains Safeguards Information as defined in 10 CFR Part 73.21 and its disclosure to unauthorized individuals is prohibited by Section 147 of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Therefore, only the letter, Notice of Violation, and
Executive Summary, and Enclosure 3 will be placed in the Public Document Room (PDR).
To the extent possible, your responses should not include any personal privacy, proprietary,
or safeguards information so that they can be placed in the PDR without redaction.
Sincerely,
ff
