for denial of violation II.B is not considered to be adequate justification for

withdrawal of this violation. Therefore, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.210(a),

please submit to this office within 30 days of the date of this letter your

written statement describing steps which have been taken to correct the

the results achieved, corrective steps which will be taken to avoid

violation,

further vio lations, and the date when full compliance will be achieved.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(d) and 10 CFR 73.21, safeguards activities and

security measures are exempt from public disclosure; therefore, the enclosure

to this letter will not be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

INSPECTION REPORT 86-06

Gentlemen:

This letter is in response to Inspection Report Nos. 50-321/86-06 and

50-366/86-06 and the Notice of Violation, dated May 28, 1986, and the request

for additional information dated December 23, 1986. The referenced report

relates to an NRC inspection conducted on February 24-28 and March 18-19, 1986.

As noted in the response to Inspection Report 86-37, and as indicated in

previous correspondence and meetings, Georgia Power Conpany (GPC) has

urkrtaken numerous security improvements at both Plant Hatch and Plant

Vogtle, and at our Corporate office to further enhance the Nuclear Security

Program. We specifically wish to note that GPC has created and fully staffed

a corporate nuclear security organization that monitort and provides

assistance and direction to Plant Security Operations. The recent Regulatory

Effectiveness Review of Plant Hatch, which concentrated on actual physical

security issues, resulted in a favorable preliminary report on the security

operation of the plant. We believe this review is but another confirmation of

our efforts to achieve excellence and the exemplary results accomplished in

the past year. .

The Georgia Power Company does not wish to pursue our request for

mitigation on problems identified in early 1986 any further even though our l

view has not changed. The Georgia Power Company has focused its attention on

excellence in 1987 and plans not only to fully meet NRC security

interpretations and standards but to exceed them in areas and matters

important to our circumstances and needs.
