SUBJECT:
NRC POINT BEACH SECURITY INSPECTION REPORTS 50-266/98002(DRS);
50-301/98002(DRS) AND NOTICE OF VIOLAT!ON
Dear Mr. Patulski:
'
On January 20,1998, the NRC ce;npleted an inspection at your Point Beach Nuclear Plant.
The enclosed report present the results of that inspection.
Areas examined within your security program are identified in the report. Within those areas,
the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative records,
observation of performance, and interviews with staff. The objective of the inspection effort was
to determine whether activities authorized by the license were conducted safely and in
accordance with NRC requirements.
Based on the results of this inspectio;1, it appears that some of your activities were not
conducted in accordance witn requirements and that corrective actions for two previously
identified violations were not totally effective in preventing recurrence. Three violations were
'
identified. Two of these violations were similar to previous violations and involved a failure to
properly implement a compensatory measure and a failure to conduct a thorough vehicle
}
search. We acknowledged that you have taken several correctivs - ctiona in the previous cases
and that your actions resulted in improved performance in vehicle search and alarm station
activities. However, problems continued to occur and we are concerned that these continued
failures might potentially become more significant. Your response to these current violations
should address the reasons for the continuing problems and how your planned additional
corrective actions will be effective in preventing further recurrence.
,
A third violation was identified regarding the degradation of your respons capabilities due to
the assignments of armed response persennel to other duties. We acknowledged your
immediate corrective action. This finding demonstrated that security management was not
aware of a security plan commitment that addressed this issue.
