,                who had their access unassigned on September 19,1996, for unescorted access as a temporary employee,it was noted j                that the individosJ had used Ns card key on three occasions, August 7, 9, and 15,1996, for a total of thirteen hours.
These uses occurred after he ended Ns temporary employment on July 28,1996. Upon discovery, this event ws:
logged in the Safeguards Log on October 11,1996. St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 were operating in mode 1 at 100% power at the time of discovery. Further review and evaluation resulted in a decision to notify the NucIsar Regulatory Commission Operations Center pursuant to 10 CFR Part 73, which occurred on October 16,1996 at 1617 hours.
The cause of tNs event was cognitive personnel error on the part of licensee department supervisors who failed to follow Administrative Procedure 0010509 whsch requires notification to security upon employee term.aations.
i l             Corrective Actions: 1. Security unassigned card keys. 2. All department heads were required to validate the continued plant access for alllicensee and contractor employees under their cogni2ance. 3. Security verified that all Nuclear Division employees released since January 1,1996, did not have site access or were since re-badged. 4. Security
:             r; viewed a notwas list to verify the employment status of personnel with 30 day unused key cards. 5. Plant procedure i               was revised to reflect new site access requirements. 6. The periodic vital area access review was revised and improved.

On September 19,1996, wNie the site's Access Control Specialist was cross referencing a listing of individuals who have not used their site access badges witNo the last 30 days against a personnel data base identifying active Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) employees, three indivaals with active site access no longer employed by FPL were identified. The site access card keys were unassigned from the site security computer. No further actions or notifications were taken.
Subsequent to July 28,1996, one of the above described individuals sought and gained employment at Turkey Point Plant. St. Lucie Plant was requested to process the individual for re-hire on October 7,1996. On October 9,1996, the Security Access Control Specialist noted that the individual had gained access to St. Lucie Plant on J.ugust 7,9, and 15, 1996, although No employment was terminated on July 28,1996. The individual was interviewed concoming Ns entry to the site: he stated that the three events of site access were to interview for possible employment. The interviewers on these three dates were identified. The Access Control Specialist discussed the accesses with the Security l
Operations Supervisor and incorrectly concluded that there was no reportability requirement since access had been terminated by Security once the need for termination was identified and there was no malevolent intent with regard to l          the individual's access during the three events in August.
On October 11,1996, the St. Lucie Plant Security Supervisor became aware of the unauthorized access. The Security Supervisor contacted the FPL personnel who had interviewed the subject to confirm the contacts and the individual's interviews. Further investigation at that time revealed that two other individuals who had been terminated on July 27, 1996 and August 24,1996, respectively, had not had their site access unassigned. Neither of those individuals had cccessed the site between their termination and October 11,1996. On Oe;tober 11,1996, a Safeguards Event Log entry was made based on the fact that, upon discovery, employee site access was revoked. Additionally, it was cencluded that there was no malevolent intent by the individual who had gained site access, that the individual was known to plant personnel, arw' that he had properly completed all necessary screening to allow access previously and had been authorized site access. Through interviews with N: supervisors, it was determined that the employee was d:emed trustworthy and reliable and that Na employment had been terminated'under favorable conditions.
                                                                                                 \
Subsequent to this event, it was determined that a prompt notification was required which was made to the NRC Operations Center at 1817 hours on October 16,1996.
CAUSEDE_THEE.VEMT The cause of the event was cognitive personnel error on the part of licensee department supervisors who failed to follow Administrative Procedure (AP) 0010509, Personnel and Material Control, which requires immediate notification to security upon employee termmations.
l         ANALY111 OF THF FVFNT l
AP 0010609 requires that site Security be notified when an individual's site access is no longer needed. Additionally, oech individual granted unescorted access to the site is required to read and sign a badge responsibility Weet which instructs them to notify Security when their access to the site is no longer needed. This requirement is also stated in signs posted at all site ingress and ogress card readers. TNs requirement is also reinforced during plant access training.                 l Contrary to the above requirements and training, Security was not notified of these terminations.
