SUBJECT: NRC INCPECTION REPORT 50-341/99008(DRS)

Dear Mr. Gipson:

On April 9,1999, the NRC completed an inspection at your Fermi 2 reactor facility. The l

enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

Areas examined within your physical protection program are identified in the report. Within

those areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and

representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of activities in progress. 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

inspection, no Wolations of NRC requirements were identified.

Although our inspedian concluded that your physical security program met regulatory

requirements, we are concerned over our observations of the poor performance demonstrated

during some contingency response drills. Notwithstanding the fact that drills are intended to Oe

educational, several fundamental performance errors and weaknesses were noted such as

poor comenunications and command and control. Representatives of your security

managen,ent team witnessed that poor performance with us. Additionally, previous problems

have been identified in this area. Our attention will be focused on the effectiveness of the

actions planned to improve performance in the Contingency Drill program, and to apply, through //

corrective action, the lessons learned to improve this performance. The weaknesses that

warrant your attention are identified in the report as an Inspection Follow Up Item.

//

The material enclosed herewith contains Safeguards information as defined by 10 CFR 73.21,

and its disclosure to unauthorized individuals is prohibited by Section 147 of the Atomic Energy

Act of 1954, as amended. Therefore, the material will not be placed in the Public Document

Room.
