Gentlemen:

SUBJECT: MEETING SUMMARY - NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-424/87-50

This letter refers to the Enforcement Conference held at our request at the

Region II Office on August 20, 1987, to discuss the findings of the inspection

conducted by Mr. J. Ennis and Mr. A. Tillman at Vogtle Electric Generating

Plant (VEGP) on July 20-24, July 28-29, and August 5-6, 1987.

The inspection

findings related to the discovery of several unprotected breaches in protected

and vital area barriers, all but one of which were identified and reported by

VEGP security and engineering personnel.

A meeting summary is enclosed.

Our concerns about the continuing occurrence of violations of regulatory

requirements relative to the maintenance of security barriers and the

application of necessary compensatory measures for the control of access into

the protected and vital areas were expressed to Georgia Power Company

representatives at the meeting.

The issues discussed at the meeting and

addressed in Inspection Report No. 50-424/87-50 dated August 13, 1987, and the

enclosure to this letter are under consideration for escalated enforcement

action. Accordingly, no Notice of Violation is being issued at this time and

no response is required.

However, please be advised that the number and

characterization of the violations may change as a result of further NRC

review.

It is our opinion that this meeting was beneficial and has provided for a

better understanding of inspection findings and enforcement issues.

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 enclosures

to this letter, with the exception of the report cover page which presents a

nonexempt summary, will not be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
