Mr. Thomas J. Cassidy
Executive Vice President

Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORTS NO. 50-266/86005[DRSS];
50-301/86005[DRSS])
This refers to the special physical security inspection conducted during the
period April 2-10, 1986 at the Point Beach Nuclear Plar.t, Units 1 and 2, Two
Rivers, Wisconsin.
The results of the inspection were discussed on April 15,
1986 during an enforcement conference in the Region III office between
Mr. C. W. Fay and other members of your staff and myself and other members of
the Region III staff.
The inspection identified two violations of NRC requirements. The first
violation involved the degradation of a vital area barrier which could have
allowed unauthorized, undetected access into a vital area of your facility.
The other violation occurred as a result of your improper classification of
the degraded vital area barrier which led to a late notification to NRC
officials. The violations reflect a veakness on your part to fully implement
and maintain in effect the provisions of your NRC-approved Physical Security
Plan and the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 73.71(c).
Violation A described in the enclosed Notice has been categorized as a Severity
Level III violation in accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and
Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985).
Normally, a civil penalty is proposed for a Severity Level III violation.
However, after consultation with the Director, Office of Inspection and
Enforcement, I have decided that a civil penalty will not be propused in this
case.
In reaching this conclusion, we considered your self-identification of
the event, your prompt and extensive corrective action, and your prior good
performance in the area of security as demonstrated by a Category 1 rating in
your most recent Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP).

response to this Notice, including your proposed corrective actions, the NRC
will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is necessary to ensure
compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.

and its disclosure to unauthorized individuals is prohibited by Section 147 of
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Therefore, with the exception of
the cover letter, this material will not be placed in the Public Document Room.
