area barriers and to follow up on an allegation regarding the failure to report
security incidents to the NRC. The meeting was attended by NRC and licensee

Summary of Discussion
Dr. Murley opened the meeting and described the purpose of the enforcement
conference. Mr.1Keimig then summarized the findings of the special inspec-
tion conducted to review the circumstances related to the licensee's find-
ing of degraded protected area / vital area barriers and to review an allega-
tion regarding the failure to report a security incident to the NRC.
(The findings of the inspection are documented in NRC Region I Inspection
Report No. 50-352/86-01)
Mr. Boyer stated that the findings, as documented in Inspection Report No.
50-352/86-01, were accurate, and that he shared NRC's concerns over those
findings.
The first topic addressed was the degraded barriers.
Mr. Spinelli pro-
vided background information on the decision to split the plant fur secur-
ity purposes during operation of Unit 1 and continued construction of Unit
2.
This resulted in construction of the Unit 1/ Unit 2 interface barrier

in which the openings and degradations were identified.
Mr. Corcoran
discussed the inspections they conducted after the barrier was constructed
and described how the deficiencies apparently went undetected. Mr.
Basilio described how the openings and degradations were initially iden-
.tified by a member of the security organization on December 31, 1985, and
the subsequent inspections that identified several additional barrier
deficiencies on January 4, 1986. Mr..Basilio also described the actions
~taken when the barrier deficiencies were identified, and additional
actions that have been implemented to ensure barrier integrity during the
construction of Unit 2 which recently resumed. Several members of the NRC
staff asked questions about these actions and, in general, noted that they
appeared to be appropriate.
The second topic addressed was the. failure to report a security incident
to NRC that involved members of the security force leaving their posts on
December 7,1985, and a similar incident that occurred on January 29,
l
1986, which was identified by the Plant Manager and was properly reported
to the NRC.
Mr. Basilio provided a brief overview of the incidents, the
procedure and the orders for the involved posts and the corrective
actions.
Mr. Basilio stated that, in both incidents, the individuals were
off their assigned posts for a short period of time (less than 10 minutes)
and that, upon discovery of the incidents, corrective actions were
promptly initiated in accordance with the NRC-approved Contingency Plan.
j
Mr. Basilio further stated that all personnel involved in the incidents
had been disciplined, that the post orders were clear in their require-
!
ments and that all posts were being reviewed to determine if adverse human
factors could be eliminated or, at least, minimized.
Mr. Basilio added
that the decision not to document and report the December 7, 1985 incident
was an indiscriminate action by a security shif t sergeant and that,
because the incident was not documented, the licensee was not aware that
it had occurred.
The sergeant involved had been terminated prior to the
licensee becoming aware of the incident, for unrelated reasons. The
January 29, 1986, incident was promptly and correctly reported to the NRC.
Conclusion of Meeting
Dr. Murlcy concluded the meeting by stating that the Region I staff would
evaluate the violations and the licensee's corrective actions, and that a
decision regarding the appropriate enforcement action would be forth-
coming.
