Gentlemen:
I
Subject: Special Inspection No. 50-286/89-15
This letter refers to the special safeguards inspection conducted by
Messrs. W. K. Lancaster, D. F. Cameron, and T. W. Dexter of this office on
June 5-7, 1989, at the Indian Point 3 Nuclear Power Plant of activities
authorized by NRC License No. DPR-64 and to the discussions of our findings
held by Mr. Lancaster with Mr. W. Josiger and other members of your staff at
the conclusion of the inspection.
The purpose and scope of this inspection are described in the NRC Region I
Inspection Report which is enclosed with this letter. The inspection consisted
primarily of a review of the actions taken to correct the violations, and the
program weaknesses that they reflect, that were identified during NRC Inspection
No. 50-286/89-05, conducted February 27 - March 3,1989, and discussed in an
Enforcement Conference on April 28, 1989. As a result of that Enforcement
Conference, a Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty was
issued on June 12, 1989, to which you responded on July 12, 1989.
The enclosed inspection report identifies four apparent violations of NRC
requirements, two of which are identical to, and one of which is similar to,
violations identified during Inspection No. 50-286/89-05.
In addition, there
were three unresolved items identified during Inspection No. 50-286/89-05 that
were not pursued by your staff, even though they represent potential serious
weaknesses in protected and vital area barriers.
The apparent violations
identified during this inspection increase our previous concerns regarding the
implementation of your security program and your ability to correct identified
problems effectively.
Further, we do not believe that the corrective actions
outlined in your July 12, 1989 letter will prevent similar violations from
occurring in the future. We believe that there may be deep-rooted program
weaknesses that have not been identified, as indicated by the recurrent
violations, and your letter does not address consideration of that possibility.
Therefore, we have scheduled an Enforcement Conference to discuss these matters
on August 8, 1989 at 1:00 p.m., at the Indian Point 3 plant site.
Arrangements
for the Conference were made between us in a telephone conversation'on
July 28, 1989.
