Docket No. 50-341

The Detroit Edison Company

ATTN:

B. Ralph Sylvia

Group Vice President

Nuclear Operations

6400 North Dixie Highway

Newport, MI 48166

Gentlemen:

This letter refers to a discussion between Mr. R. Kelm, Director, Nuclear

Security of your staff and Messrs. J. R. Creed and T. J. Madeda of my

Safeguards staff on December 23, 1986, regarding the status of your Nuclear

Security Improvement Plan (NSIP) for Fermi 2.

On May 1, 1986, in response to our request, you submitted a program (NSIP)

to augment specific corrective actions being taken in response to violations

and findings identified in NRC Inspection Report No. 50-341/85047, dated

February 11, 1986. The NSIP provided a broad approach to improving the

long-term effectiveness of the security program at the Fermi 2 site and the

major elements of the plan were intended to be completed by December 31, 1986.

Additionally, the NSIP addressed the management concerns described in our

December 24, 1985 letter sent to you under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(f).

NRC inspection efforts since the submittal of the NSIP have shown a dedicated

licensee effort both at the senior site management level and sectirity

organization level to adequately implement and document comitments identified

in your NSIP. Your efforts have been successful in most areas and you'r staff

has accomplished many of the objectives of the NSIP. However, recent

inspection efforts continue to identify weaknesses in the performance of your

site security program specifically in the areas of access control and

documenting security weaknesses. While none of these weaknesses were of a

major security significance, they indicate a trend that is of concern to us.

In view of our findings and as discussed with Mr. Kelm, we requested that you

continue four specific sections of your NSIP until June 30, 1987. These areas

are presented in the attached enclosure. The continuation of these items will

allow you to continue to evaluate the appropriate resolution of the noted

weaknesses.

You are asked to respond within 30 days of your receipt of this letter with

confirmation that the mentioned portions of the NSIP will continue to be

implemented.

Continue to maintain or improve your maintenance

-

program on security related equipment.
