Docket No.:

50-382 Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 License No.: NPF-38 During an NRC inspection conducted on February 2-6 and 10-12,1998, one violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

License Condition 2.E of the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, Operating License NPF-38, dated December 19,1995, requires that the licensee fully implement and maintain in effect the Commission approved Physical Security Pian, including amendments and changes made pursuant to the authority of 10 CFR 50.54(p).

Watelford 3 Physical Security Plan, Revision 17, dated March 1996, Chapter 3, paragraph 3.2.6, " Vehicle Denial," states, in part, " Railroad derailers are installed inside the protected area on the railroad spurs that enter the site."

Plant Security Procedure PS-011-103, " Vehicle Access Control," Revision 8, Section 5, paragraph 5.1.3.2.C, states, in part, " Railroad derailers are installed inside the protected arca on rail spurs that allow entry into the protected area."

Plant Security Procedure PS-012-101, " Perimeter Barriers," Revision 9, Section 5.6, paragraph 5.6.1, states, " Security Officers will inspect the derailers to ensure that they are locked in the derail configuration. This check will be made twice each shift."

Contrary to the above, on February 11,1998, the inspector identified that the derailer was not locked in the derail configuration. This degraded condition had existed since November 11,1997.
