SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-382/99-08)
Dear Mr. Dugger:
This refers to your letter dated June 3,1999, in which you responded to an apparent violation
described in NRC Inspection Report 50-382/99-08, dated May 3,1999. The apparent violation,
which was identified by Entergy Operations, Inc. personnel at Entergy's Waterford-3 Steam
Electric Station, involved mistakenly granting unescorted access to the facility to an individual
whose background investigation indicated he had recently failed another employer's pre-
employment drug screening.
,
in Attachment 1 to your June 3,1999 letter, you described and clarified Entergy's corrective
f
actions. Entergy's corrective actions included revoking the individual's access, conducting a
4
revie sf the individual's work, retraining and counseling Waterford-3 personnel who mistakenly
f
granted access, conducting additional training for all access authorization personnel, revising
procedures to emphasize the need to perform a comprehensive review of allinformation in an
applicant's folder and to assure that all derogatory information has been adjudicated, and
reviewing approximately 800 access authorization files for workers granted access during
Refuel Outage 09. You reported that no similar errors were found.
Based on its review of all information in this case, and after consideration of the information you
provided in your letter, the NRC has concluded that a violation of NRC requirements occurred.
Specifica!!y, information regarding i!!egal use of a controlled substance without adequate
evidence of rehabilitation is required to be considered in making access authorization
determinations. In this case, derogatory information of this nature was missed and was not
considered until 30 days af ter temporary unescorted access was granted. This violation has
been classified at Severity Level lit because it involved granting unescorted access to an
individual who would not have been granted access had the derogatory information been
considered (Supplement lil, NRC Enforcement Policy).
Since the Waterford-3 facility has received escalated enforcement action in the past two years',
the NRC considered both identification and corrective actions in determining whether a civil
penalty should be assessed for this violation (Section VI.B.2, NRC Enforcement Policy). As
'Entergy received a Severity Level ill violation on January 7,1999, for a violation which
involved losing control of a copy of the Waterford-3 physical security plan.

already noted, Entergy identified this violation and took comprehensive corrective actions.
Thus, the NRC has determined that credit for both factors is warranted, resulting in no civil
l
penalty being assessed.
The NRC also has concluded that no further response to this violation is warranted since
information regarding your corrective actions is already described in your June 3,1999 letter
and in Security incident Report 99-SO2-00 which Entergy submitted to the NRC on April 22,
1999.
!
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," this letter and its enclosure
will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
