SUBJECT:
BYRON SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 50-454/99014(DRS);
50-455/99014(DRS)
Dear Mr. Kingsley:
On August 27,1999, the NRC completed an inspection at your Byron Nuclear Generating Plant
l
reactor facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
Areas examined within your security program are identified in the report. Within those areas,
the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative records,
observation of performance, and interviews with staff. The objective of the inspection effort was
to determine whether activities authorized by the license were conducted safely and in
accordance with NRC requirements.
Based on the results of this inspection, no violations of NRC requirements were identified. The
security program was effectively implemented in the areas inspected. Personnel involved with
this program were knowledgeable regarding training activities, ingress search processes, and
alarm station operations. As noted in the report, we learned that the staffing levels during
4
certain periods have resulted in the suspension of some security functions in order that
non-routine security requirements could be met. This has been accomplished in compliance
with minimum requirements, and no violations of NRC regulations occurred. We are
concerned, however, that the frequency and extent of these challenges to your system provide
the potential opportunity for more significant problems. Your staff has identified this matter as
deserving further analysis, and has expeditiously started evaluation of current compensatory
- neasures,
in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its
enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
