Dear Mr. Anderson:

This letter refers to a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection
conducted during the period March 17
21, 1997, at Crystal River
Unit 3.
The purpose of the inspection was to review the implementation of
,
your security program which included an evaluation of your control of
.
!
Safeguards Information (SGI). The results of the inspection were discussed
i
l
with members of your staff on March 21, 1997, at the exit meeting and were
formally transmitted to you by letter dated April 18, 1997. That letter also
!
i
provided you the opportunity to respond to the apparent violations in writing
l
or request a predecisional enforcement cjaference. At your request, an open
predecisional enforcement conference was conducted in the Region II office on
May 22, 1997. A listing of conference attendees Florida Power Corporation's
(FPC) presentation materials, and NRC slides are enclosed.
Based on the information developed during the inspection and provided at the
conference, the NRC has determined that violations of NRC requirements
occurred. The violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation
(Notice), and the circumstances surrounding them are described in detail in
the subject inspection report. The violations involved two instances where
I
the staff at Crystal River failed to control SGI adequately to assure access
by authorized persons only. Specifically, on January 16 and March 15, 1997,
SGI was left unattended and unsecured outside the protected area for periods
of approximately 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br />. The materials were located in the locked security
,
office and the document control area of the Nuclear Administration Building,
j
respectively.
At the conference, your staff admitted the violations and identified the root
cause as the lack of centralized control for SGI. Also, at the conference,
NRC was informed that FPC had identified an additional event on April 7,1997,
where aa individual, who was not fingerprinted, handled SGI. This event has
-
i
not been reviewed by NRC: however, your staff stated that the corrective
'
actions presented at the conference also addressed this most recent event.

access list for SGI which was completed on May 19, 1997; and (6) including
'
security in the formal corrective action / precursor card program.
In addition,
.
i
to address the broader programmatic issues highlighted by these violations as
,
well as those cited in another recent escalated enforcement action related to
security (EA 97 012), your staff indicated that the following actions were
i
planned:
(1) employment of a new Security Manager effective June 2, 1997; (2)
conduct of increased and improved training for security personnel: and (3)
development and implementation of a Security Improvement Plan. Although
corrective actions for prior violations have been ineffective. based on the
above, the NRC determined that the corrective actions for the current
violations appeared to be prompt and comprehensive and that credit was
warranted for the factor of Corrective Action.
Therefore, to encourage prompt identification and comprehensive corrective
actions for violations, I have been authorized, after consultation with the
Director, Office of Enforcement, not to propose a civil penalty in this case.
i
However, significant or further repetitive violations in the future could
result in a civil penalty.
'
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions you plan to prevent recurrence of the violation. After reviewing your
response to this Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the
results of future inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC
enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory
requirements.
Please be advised that this enforcement action does not address
the April 7, 1997, SGI event. NRC will review and disposition this matter at
]
a later date.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of
this letter, its enclosures, and your response will be placed in the NRC
Public Document Room (PDR). To the extent possible, your response should not
include any personal 3rivacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that
it can be placed in tie PDR without redaction.
Sincerely.
