Re: Region I Inspection

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

Attn:

W.

T.

Russell, Administrator

Region I

631 Park Avenue

King of Prussia, Pa. 19406

Gentlemen:

Millstone Nuclear Power Station, Unit Nos. 1,2 & 3

Response to Region I Inspection

Nos. 50-245/87-02, 50-336/87-02 and 50-423/87-03

In a letter dated April

10,

1987'23,

the NRC Staff informed

Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (NNECO) as to the results of

their routine physical security related inspection conducted at

the Millstone Nuclear Power Station on January 27-29,

1987.

Reference (1) stated that one of our activities was not conducted

in

full

compliance with NRC

requirements.

Pursuant

to

the

provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, NNECO hereby provides the following

response to the " Notice of Violation" contained in Reference (1).

NOTICE OF VIOLATION:

10 CFR 73.21(d)(2)

states,

in

part,

that

when

Safeguards

Information is left unattended, it shall be stored in a locked

security storage container.

Licensee Administrative Control Procedure ACP 7.11,

dated June

28, 1985 and titled, " Control of Safeguards Information" states,

in part, in paragraph

6.1.4.3,

that safeguards Information will

be stored in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 73.21.

Contrary to the above,

at 12:28

p.m.

on January 29,

1987,

a

licensee designated Safeguards

Information

security

container

'

containing Safeguards Information, located in an office complex

in the site protected area, was found unlocked and unattended.

NNECO RESPONSE:

l

NNECO agrees with the inspection finding.

The root cause of this

T.

Martin letter to E.J.

Mroczka, " Combined Inspection

Nos. 50-245/87-02, 50-336/87-02 & 50-423/87-03," dated April

May 12,'1987

violation appears to be that the container in question (a file

cabinet)

was'

being

used

to

store

both

Safeguards

and

non-Safeguards .Information.

The individual responsible for'the

repository supervises several - departments,

including ~ security,

and maintained'a variety of material in the repository.

The need

for frequent access to non-Safeguards Information resulted in the

repository being accessed routinely.

On .the - date in question,

through_an oversight on the part of the two individuals working

in the repository, it was left unlocked and unattended.

Corrective Action-

The Safeguards Information repository was immediately locked upon

identification of the violation.

The individual-responsible for

the repository was advised of the violation ud was requested to

'

inventory the contents to ensure that safeguards Information had

_not been removed.

The results of the inventory indicated that

the contents of the repository had not been disturbed and that

no Safeguards Information was missing.

Actions to Prevent Recurrence -

All

Safeguards

Information

contained

in

the

repository

in

question was subsequently relocated to a designated repository in

the main of fice area, which is used exclusively for storage of

l.

Safeguards Information.

The

file

cabinet identified in the

violation

is- no

longer

being

maintained

as

a

Safeguards

Information repository.

We

trust

that

the

above

information

addresses

the

concerns

identified in Reference (1).

Very truly yours,

NORTHEAST NUCLEAR ENERGY COMPANY
