Subject:
Inspection No. 50-29/87-08
!
This letter refers to the special safeguards inspection conducted by Messrs.
I
G. Smith and H. Eichenholz of this office on February 18 - May 22, 1987, of
activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-3 and to the discussions of our
findings held by Messrs. Smith and Eichenholz with you and members of your
staff.at the conclusion of the inspection.
This letter also refers to the
telephone discu'ssion between yourself and Mr. T. Elsasser on June 12, 1987.
!
.The purpose of this inspection was to review implementation of compensatory
i
measures for degraded security systems, control of access to vital areas, and
reporting of security events to the NRC.
The inspection consisted of a review
of. records, interviews with personnel, and observation by the inspectors. Our
findings are described in the Region I Inspection Report which is enclosed with
this letter.
That inspectior, report identifies four apparent violations of NRC
_ requirements:
f ailure to implement compensatory measures for a degraded
security system in a timely manner; failure to obtain approval for and escort a
' visitor entering a vital area; failure to rep' ort a major loss of physical
security ef fectiveness as required by 10, CFR 73.71. and, failure to search a
i
vital area after an unauthorized entry.
We are concerned about these apparent violations because they indicate a
i
serious degradation in the implementation of your NRC-approved security plan.
a
As discussed during the telephone conversation between yourself and Mr.
!
Elsasser on June 12, 1987, the apparent violations will be discussed at an
Enforcement Conference at our office in King of Prussia, pennsylvania at 9:00
a.m. on June 23, 1987. We understand that you will attend this meeting with
members of your staf f.
You should be prepared to discuss the causal factors
i
which led to the apparent violations, as well as the corrective measures you
i
have taken or plan to take to prevent recurrence.
Our decision concerning the
I
appropriate enforcement actions pertaining to these matters will be communicated
i
to you b;; separate correspondence following this conference.
