SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
-(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-413/86-04 AND 50-414/86-02)
This refers to the security inspection conducted on January 6-9, 1986 at your
Catawba Nuclear Station, Unit 1, in York, South Carolina. The inspection was
in response to your telephonic notification to us on December 31, 1985, and
your letter of January 3,1986, regarding a security incident that occurred on
December 30, 1985. The findings of our inspection were discussed with you
during.an Enforcement Conference held in this Office on January 14, 1986.
We have concluded that an inadequate vehicle search was performed at the
protected area entrance to the Catawba Station which resulted in the undetected
entry of a loaded han.dgun into the protected area. Within five minutes of entry
the driver surrendered the weapon to the security officer who was escorting him.
As discussed at the Enforcement Conference, Unit I was at 92 percent power and
Unit 2 was anticipating fuel load. We view this failure to be the result of
personnel and procedural errors.
In-accordance with the " General Statement of. Policy and Procedure for NRC
Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the violation described
in the enclosed Notice has been classified as a Severity Level III violation.
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 proposed in this
case because of your prior good performance in the security area as
demonstrated by a Category 1 rating for your last Systematic Assessment of
Licensee Performance (SALP). Nonetheless, we emphasize that any similar
viola.tions 'in the future may. result in additional enforcement action.
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. After reviewing your 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.
