TAMPERING WITH KEY LOCK SWITCHES-UPDATE The licensee exited the unusual event at 5:30 p.m.,
on August 14, after the replacement of the affected switches and the completion of walkdowns of all key lock switches on both units.
Through the evening of August 14, the licensee conducted an audit of all accessible locked valve locks on both units.
No additional examples of tampering were identified in either key lock switches or valve locks.
The licensee has offered a 10 thousand dollar reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the responsible individual.
Enhanced security measures remain in effect.
There has been extensive news media coverage of these activities including claims of earlier unexplained events at the site.
The licensee is currently performing walkdowns of all plant areas, both inside and outside of the protected area.
These area walkdowns are aimed at identifying the presence of unauthorized material (e.g. unauthorized jumpers) or obvious deficiencies in plant equipment (e.g. missing parts in pipe supports or valves).
The licensee anticipates completing these activities by the morning of August 16, after which detailed system walkdowns and selected surveillance testing will be performed.
The Resident Inspectors have completed independent verification walkdowns of major safety system flowpaths for both units.
The Resident Inspectors will be performing more detailed walkdowns and are closely following the licensee's activities as they are occurring.
Safeguards Inspectors from Region II are also on-site and are evaluating the licensee's investigation plan and activities.
The state of Florida has been notified.
