INSPECTION REPORT 86-37

Gentlemen:
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation cited in Inspection
Report Nos. 50-321/86-37 and SC-366/86-37, dated December 17, 1986.
The
referenced report relates to an
NRC inspection conducted November 17-20,
1986.
The inspection covered a br-oad range of the security operations at the
plant and resulted in the identiff cation of two Severity Level V findings.
Georgia Power Company (GPC) has undertaken numerous security improvements
at both Plant Hatch and Plant Vog:tle, and at our Corporate office to further
enhance the Nuclear Security Program, as indicated in previous correspondence
and meetings. We specifically wtsh to note that GPC has created and fully
staffed a corporate nuclear security organization that monitors and provides
assistance and direction to Plant Security Operations.
The recent Regulatory
.
Effectiveness Review of Plant Haitch, which concentrated on actual physical
security issues, resulted in a f:avorable preliminary report on the security
operation of the plant. We beliewe this review is but another confirmation of
our efforts to achieve excellenc e and the exemplary results accomplished in
the past year.
Georgia Power Company beliewes that the effort and attention given to
these
two minor _ findings and
the
related
implications
of
perfor ance
m
indicators and noncompliance stat-istics is contrary to effective and eff.icient
regulatory practices inherent im the NRC's Enforcement Policy (10 CFR
2~,
Appendix
C).
In
our
view,
neither
of
the
findings
had
safeguards
significance.
The enclosure to
this letter addresses in detail these two
minor findings and the actions
taken by GPC.
In addition, the enclosure
describes the reasons which suppcort our request that these two violations be
withdrawn.
Our request that thesse two proposals be withdrawn is respectfully
submitted.
An affirmative respon7se would reinforce the positive movement our
nuclear security program has alreaady made.
