' SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-382/98-16 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Dear Mr. Dugger-
From September 14-18,1998, a physical security inspection was conducted at your Waterford
Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and
results of that inspection.
l
During this inspection, one violation of NRC rendrements involving inadequate protected area
detection aids was identified. The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason for
the violation (inadequate Protected Area Detection Aids) cited in this report, the corrective
actions taken and planned to correct the violation and prevent recurrence is already adequately
'
addressed on the docket in the enclosed inspection report. Therefore, you are not required to
respond to this violation unless the description therein does not accurately reflect your corrective
actions or your position. In that case, or if you choose to provide additional information, you
should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice.
In addition, based on the results of the inspection, one apparent violation was identified and is
being considered for escalated enforcement action in accordance with the " General Statement of
Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions"(Enforcement Policy), NUREG-1600. The
violation involved the failure to adequately protect and control safeguards information considered
to be significant while the information was outside the protected area and accessible to those not
authorized access to the protected area (Section S8.1 of the enclosed report). Entergy reported
this event to the NRC in Security incident Report 98-S01 dated August 17,1998. The
)'
circumstances currounding the apparent violation, the significance of the issue, and the need for
lasting and effective corrective actions were discussed with Mr. Greg Scott during a followup
/
telephone exit briefing on October 27,1998. 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.

received within the time specified or an extension of time has not been granted by the NRC, the
NRC will proceed with its enforcement decision or schedule a predecisional enforcement
conference.
