SUBJECT:
NRC PHYSICAL SECURITY INSPECTION REPORTS 50-315/98024(DRS);
50-316/98024(DRS) AND NOTICE OF Vl3LATION
Dear Mr. Powers:
,
'
This refers to the security inspection conducted between November 12-19,1998, at the
!
D. C. Cook Nuclear Power Station. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether
activities authonzed by the license were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC security
related requirements.
Overall performance of your security organization, except as noted in this report, was
fundamentally sound. Security personnel were knowledgeable of their duties and demonstrated
proper implementation of security requirements. Management activities were properly focused
toward maintaining an effective security program. Inspected security equipment functioned as
designed.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that two violations of NRC
requirements occurred. Both violations were identified by the NRC. Those violations are cited
in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding them are
described in detail in the subject inspection report. The violation that involved a failure to
control personnel access to two vital areas is of concern because it demonstrated that licensee
security managers had not recognized that established compensatory measures were not
.
totally effective to prevent unauthorized access to two vital areas. The other violation was an
isolated failure involving an inadequate search of a vehicle, and was caused by a poor work
practice by an individual search officer. Both violations were corrected in a prompt and
effective manner.
The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reasons for the violations and the
l
corrective actions taken are adequately addressed on the docket in this Inspection Report
(50-315/98024 and 50-316/98024). Therefore, you are not required to respond to this letter
unless the description therein does not accurately reflect your currective actions or your
position. In that case, or if your choose to provide additionalinformation, you should follow the
instruction specified in the enclose Notice.
Areas examined during this inspection concerr, a subject matter which is exempt from
,
disclosure according to Part 73, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Section 73.21. This
information must be handled and protected in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 73.71.
