Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. J. Kelly of this office during
the period June 19-23, 1989, of activities authorized by NRC Operating
License NPF-47 for River Bend Station, and to the discursion of our findings
with you and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
The inspection covered certain areas of your physical security program. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the
inspector.
The areas inspected and the inspection findings are documented in
the enclosed 'nspection report.
During this inspection, it was found that one of your activities was in
violation of NRC requirements. This violation occurred when a security officer
serving a compensatory post of access control at a vital area barrier portal
became inattentive. Although the Enforcement Policy allows for discretion on
citing this type of licensee identified and reported violation, this violation
is being cited because it directly resulted from supervision's denial of a
valid request for relief from the security officer.
Consequently, you are
required to respond to this violation, in writing, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10,
Code of Federal Regulations. Your response should be based on the specifics
contained in the Notice of Violation enclosed with this letter.
We are also concerned about the firearms qualification certification process
for the security staff. The inspector could not ascertain from records which
security officer firing attempts were for qualification certification and which
were for practice.
Consequently, this is an unresolved item, and you are
requested to respond, in writing, to this concern within 30 days of the receipt
of this letter. This concern is discussed in paragraph 4 of the enclosed
.
inspection report.
We have also examined actions you have taken with respect to previously
identified inspection findings. The status of these items is identified in
paragraph 2 of the enclosed report.
