Docket No. 50-373
Docket No. 50-374
Commonwealth Edison Company
ATTN:
Mr. Cordell Reed
Vice President
Post Office Box 767
Chicago, IL 60690
Gentlemen:
This refers to the routine safeguards inspection conducted by Mr. J. L. Belanger
and Ms. G. M. Christoffer of this office on July 28, 1986 through August 1,
1986, of activities at LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2, authorized by
NRC Operating Licenses No. NPF-11 and No. NPF-18, and to the discussion of our
findi'gs with Mr. G. J. Diederich and other members of your staff at the
conclusion of the inspection.
The results of this inspection were also
discussed on August 14, 1986 during a management meeting between Messrs.
B. Saunders and T. Borzym and others of your staff and Messrs. J. Belanger,
G. Pirtle, and J. Wiebe of the NRC Region III staff.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
interviews with personnel.
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in
noncompliance with NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice.
A written response is required.
The inspection revealed that you did not adequately protect the vital area
barrier system which could have allowed access into the vital areas of the
LaSalle facility.
These violations reflect a systematic failure in fully
implementing and maintaining in effect the provisions of your NRC-approved
Physical Security Plan.
Of significant concern is the fact that the event
involved faulty judgment on the part of an experienced security officer
during the performance of compensatory measures for a failed alarm system
which precluded the initiation of corrective measure, and as a result, a
second violation occurred.
We are also concerned about the lack of security
awareness on the part of station employees regarding the designation of vital
and access control doors at the LaSalle facility, and the miscommunication
between station personnel and the security organization regarding the posting
of vital area doors during security computer outages.
Areas examined during this inspection concern a subject matter which is
exempt from disclosure according to Section 73.21(c)(2) of the NRC's " Rules
-p d 0 N
of Practice," Part 73, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations.
This
information must be handled and protected in accordance with the provisions
of 10 CFR 73.21.
Consequently, the enclosure to this letter, our report of
,\\
this inspection, and your response to the noncompliance identified in the
enclosure to this letter will not be placed in the Public Document Room.
