SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-397/99-01
Dear Mr. Parrish:
From February 1-4,1999, an NRC inspection was conducted at your Washington Nuclear
Project-2 reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the scope and results of that inspection.
'
Additionally, telephonic conversations were held on March 3-5,1999, between Ms. G. Good of
this office and Messrs. J. Mcdonald and D. Coleman of your staff.
Areas examined during this inspection included portions of your physical security program. We
determined that those areas inspected were being effectively implemented with the following
exception,
j
l
During the inspection, we determined that your staffing of armed response personnel inside the
protected area was in accordance with the minimum requirements of the physical security plan.
During the September 21-24,1998, Operational Safeguards Response Evaluation (OSRE), you
exceeded the minimum requirements of the physical security plan and elected to utilize five
additional armed response personnel to successfully demonstrate your ability to defend against
the design bas;s threat. The requirement to defend against the design basis threat is
addressed in 10 CFR 73.55(a). The results of your OSRE were documented in NRC Inspection
Report 50-397/98-201 dated December 9,1998.
To meet the design basis threat during your OSRE, all of your armed reeponse personnel were
positioned at, specific locations inside the protected area. However, following the OSRE, you
frequently rc.ocated some of these armed response personnel to other locations inside the
protected area. The relocation of armed response personnel may have invalidated response
times to both the cont lngency weapons and to plant equipment target sets, as discussed in
Section S6.2 of this report.
\\
Subsequent to your September 1998 OSRE, you have maintained an appropriate number of
f
on-duty armed security personnelinside the protected area. However, as discussed during the
l
above telephone conversations, we noted that there is a difference between the number of
armed responders described in the physical security plan and the number of armed response
personnel used during the September 1998 OSRE to demonstrate your ability to defend against
the design basis threat, as discussed in Section S6.2 of this report.

Given the preceding discussion, we request that you provide us with an evaluation of your
provisions to maintain an adequate level of security within 30 days of the report date. Your
evaluation should not include safeguards information.
in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its
enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR)."
B
Should you have any questions or comments concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to
discuss them with you.
