This event was evaluated using the current version of the Physical Security Significance Determination Process (SDP) included with SECY-99-007A, " Recommendation for Reactor Oversight Process Improvements." Detroit Edison's assessment of this event using this process considered, the absence of malevolent intent, the immediate actions of the security force, lack of other circumstances which could have aggravated the consequences, I and singularity of this type of event within the past twelve months. Based on these factors, the SDP guidance indicates that this event falls within the Licensee's  ;

Response Band (" Green" band) and would be appropriately resolved within the j conective action program.
