SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-250/89-21 AND 50-251/89-21)
' This' refers to an NRC inspection conduct'd by A. Tillman on April 24-28, 1989.
The inspection included a review of activities authorized for your Turkey Point
facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings'were discussed
with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed Inspection Report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
The inspection findings indicate that certain activities appeared to violate
NRC requirements. The violations, references to pertinent requirements, and
elements.to be included in your response are described in the enclosed Notice
of Violation.
The violations described in the enclosed Notice are repeat violations.
In
addition to the need for corrective action regarding the specific matters
identified in the enclosed Notice, we remain concerned that previous corrective
actions taken in response to earlier similar violations have allowed these
violations to persist. Consequently, your response should describe those
'
particular actions taken or planned to improve the effectiveness of your prior
- i
corrective actions which were taken in response to the previously identified
violations.

The first violation described in the enclosed Notice involved sleeping guards
and is similar to violations contained in Notices sent to you by our letters of

-oo_ -
g
April 21,1987 (EA 87-040) and February 11, 1988 (EA 87-179) for which civil
penalties were proposed. The second violation described in the enclosed Notice
go
involved allowing an individual to. gain access to a vital area without checking
.Rd
his security badgc and is similar to violations contained in Notices sent to
$8
you by our letters dated July 28, 1987 (EA 87-098) and February 11, 1988

(EA 87-179) for which civil penalties were proposed.
In accordance with the
.
" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"

Severity Level IV violations are defined in the Enforcement Policy as being of
more than minor significance which, if left uncorrected, could lead to a more
serious concern.
Because of your past performance, a letter from the NRC dated
February 1,1989, forwarding another Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition
!
4
of Civil Penalty advised you that a continuation of the past level of performance
in security cannot be tolerated. We recognize that you have made substantial
improvements in your security program since the last enforcement action including
additional management changes.
In addition, we recognize that these violations
occurred before you completed all of the corrective actions that you undertook
in response to that enforcement action.
While we considered an additional
civil penalty in view of the recurring nature of these violations, we have
determined under the circumstances that a penalty is not warranted at this time
to further emphasize the need for lasting improvement in your security program.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
actions you plan to prevent recurrence.
After reviewing your response to this
Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future
inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
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.
In your
response to this letter and Notice, you should place all Safeguards Information
in an enclosure so as to allow your letter (without the enclosure) to be placed
.in the Public Document Room.
The response directed by this letter and its enclosures are not subject to the
clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, Pub. L. No.96-511.
Sincerely,
is
Stewart D. Elineter
Regional Administrator
