. __ __ _ _ __ _. _ _ _ _ _ _ __mm, ueu ' REPLY TO N AlCE OF VIOLATION Attachm:nt A , * Pagi1 April 30,1998 ylotation; During an NRC inspection conducted from March 9,1998, through March 13,1998, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the * General Statement of Polley and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violations are listed below: Part 73, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulation at Section 73.21(d)(2) requires safeguards information that is left unattended to be stored in a locked security storage container. 1. Contrary to the above; On October 9,1997, a security contaInerholding safeguards information was left unlocked and unattended for three minutes. On October 22,1997, a security container holding safeguards information was left unlocked and unattended for thirty minutes. On February 16,1998, severalcassette tapes containing safeguards information were left unattended on top of a safeguards information security container for approximately 17 hours. The security containers for all three occasions were located within a locked room in the security department. Violation Resnonse: NSP Response to Violation NSP acknowledges the above Notice of Violation. Reason For Violation: The primary cause of this violation is failure to perform self checking when handling safeguards information. A contributing cause of the event on 10/06/97 was that the individuals involved were in { a rush to review safeguards information. They were also late for a drl!! briefing and became distracted by the time elements. [ A contributing cause of the event on 10/22/97 was that the Operational Safeguards l Response Evaluation and trouble shooting of the ecurity computer system resulted in many openings and closing of the safeguards information security storage containers. A contributing cause of the event on 02/16/98 was the misunderstanding between the user and the security department regarding who would return the safeguards information to the security storage container and lock the container. Non-safeguards material being stored in the safeguards information security storage container room also contributed to the safeguards material being overlookod. When the files were verified locked and the room was locked at the end of the day the safeguards material was overlooked. e - - . - - - - . - - - - - - - - - -
