ATTN: Mr. J. W. Taylor
General Manager

La Crosse, WI 54601
Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL
PENALTY (NRC INSPECTION REPORT N0. 50-409/86015[DRSS])
This refers to the physical security inspection conducted during the period
November 17-24, 1986, at the Lacrosse Boiling Water Reactor. The results
of the inspection were discussed on January 6,1987 during an enforcement
conference held in the Region III office between yourself and others of your
staff, and Mr. A. B. Davis and others of the Region III staff.
The inspection identified multiple violations of NRC requirements concerning
your Safeguards Information Protection Program. The violations collectively
demonstrate ineffective management oversight and control for adequately
protecting Safeguards Information.
It appears that the root cause of the
violations is the lack of a comprehensive program to monitor and protect
Safeguards Information. The violations continued for a considerable length
of time and no audit mechanism existed to discover such violations. These
circumstances represent a serious potential for the compromise of Safeguards
Information.
To emphasize the importance of developing and maintaining an effective program
to protect Safeguards Information, I have been authorized, after consultation
with the Director, Office of Inspection and Enforcement, to issue the enclosed
Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) for the violations described in the
enclosed Notice.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and
eo c:
Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986)
ho$
(Enforcement Policy), the violations described in the enclosed Notice have
8
been categorized as a Severity Level III problem.
The base value of a civil
gg
penalty for a Severity Level III problem is $50,000. The escalation and
mitigation factors in the Enforcement Policy were considered, and because of
%c
your unusually prompt and extensive corrective actions, mitigation of the civil
'
o
penalty in the amount of 50 percent is warranted. Any further mitigation is
8@
balanced against the duration of the most significant violation which involved[gk
@
your failure to restrict access to safeguards information for a considerable
o o:
length of time.

You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the Notice when preparing your response. You should place all
Safeguards Information as defined in 10 CFR 73.21 only in enclosures, so that
your letter may be placed in the Public Document Room.
In your response, you
should describe those actions taken or planned that are designed to increase
the effectiveness of your security program, particularly with regard to
ensuring access control requirements are satisfied. After reviewing your
response to this Notice, including your proposed corrective actions, the NRC
will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is necessary to ensure
compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
The material enclosed 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, with
the exception of the cover letter, this material will not be placed in the
Public Document Room.
The responses directed by this letter and the enclosures are not subject to the
