Dear Mr. McGriff:

The enclosed Order Prohibiting involvement in NRC-Licensed Activities (Effective immediatcly) is being issued because of your deliberate misconduct in violation of 10 CFR 50.5 of the Commission's regulations. Specifically, during the perioo of April 1996 through January 1997, you failed to perform required inventories of emergency eculpment at Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc.'s (SNO) Farley Nuclear Plant and deliberately falsified equipment checklists that SNC and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) relied upon to determine the availability and status of required emergency equipment. Based on your actions, the Order prohibits your involvement in NRC-licensed activities for a period of three years and requires your notification of the NRC of your first involvement in NRC-licensed activities for one year following the prohibition period.

Pursuant to Section 223 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, any person who willfully violates, attempts to violate, or conspires to violate, any provision of this Order shall be subject to criminal prosecution as set forth in that Section. Violation of this Order may also subject the person to a civil monetary penalty.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2,790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Roori. #DR). To the extent possible, any response should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction.
