{{#Wiki_filter:-{j. y c2 - f QW MEMORANDUM FOR: 'Dcnald Funk, Region ill Allegation Coordinator FROM; James L. Belanger, Senior Physical Security inspector.
SUBJECT:
POTENTIAL FALSIFICATION OF FIREWATCH TOURS AT O.C. 000K PLANT During an inspection at the D.C. Cook plant during the. week of May 9-13, 1994 I was present during a briefing of the resident inspector on May 12, 1994 by the licensee on an issue of potential wrongdoing involving falsification of firewatch tours. Specifically, the licensee, through a review of ten percent of the firewatch tours conducted over a three tronth period, identified five fire watch tours that apparently were falsified by one fire watch person. Technical Specifications were violated. These incidents occurred in December 1993. The licensee stated that the fire watch person involved did not work at the site, having not been retained by the new fire watch contractor that took over in January 1994. During the licensee's investigation of the incident, the. subject denied falsifying the records. She is on the site's denied access list. This information is also in the index system. The incident was documented by the licensee in a Condition Report that was open at the time of-my inspection. I advised the regional fire protection inspector (D. Schrum) of the meeting when i returned to the office on May 16, 1994. Mr. Schrtm indicated that he was planning to do an inspection at D.C. Cook in the near future and would follow up on the condition report which I provided to him. Mr. Schrum inspected D.C. Cook the week of June 7, 1994. He advised me by e-mail on June 20, 1994 that the licensee haj identified a number of missed fire watch tours but there was no evidence that falsification was involved other than the December 1993 incident. (I was on annual leave for two weeks beginning the week of June 20, 1994 arid opened my mail box on July 5,1994.) On July 5,1995 Darrell Schrtm, myself, and Wayne Shafer spoke by phone with Bob Defayette regarding this matter. Bob stated that I should doctinent in a memo to you what information I had regarding this incident so that it could be forwarded to the appropriate division for action. This is the purpose of this memo. chm *4 L James L. Be1 anger Senior Physical Security-Inspector )I d /j j 9904200051 990414 s f PDR FOIA GUNTER99-76 PDR 1 e rse xppWS/}}
