SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND PROPOSED IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTY (NRC INSPECTION REPORT N0. 50-482/85-44)
This refers to the inspection conducted on December 2-5, 1985 at the Wolf Creek Generating Station, Burlington, Kansas. This was a followup inspection to a security matter identified to the NRC by your staff on November 4, 198 An enforcement conference to discuss these matters was held on November 25, 1985, at the Region IV offices in Arlington, Texa As determined by your staff, the inspection confirmed that multiple uncontrolled access paths existed from the Owner Controlled Area (OCA) into the Protected Area (PA) and in two instances into Vital Areas (VA). It appears that this condition has existed since the storm drain system was installed, and the plant has been in violation of NRC regulations and its security plan since the operating license was granted on March 11, 1985. The causes for this situation included design oversight during the system planning stage, construction deficiencies which resulted in the failure to install some manway covers in accordance with the drawings, and the failure of the startup testing / surveillance program to identify these deficiencies. This violation demonstrates a weakness in the management oversight of coordination between the various organizational entities which may affect facility securit To emphasize the need to provide integrated management control of the security program, I have been authorized, after consultation with the Director, Office of Inspection and Enforcement, to issue the enclosed Notice of Violation and-Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000) for the violation described in the enclosed Notice. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986) (Enforcement Policy), the violation described in the enclosed Notice has been categorized at a Severity Level II. The violation has been categorized at Severity Level II because two of the elements of access control, namely barrier and monitoring, were inadequate at both the protected area and vital area barriers. The basu civil-penalty for a Severity Level II violation is $80,000. The NRC Enforcement Policy allows for reduction CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED rnow?: rc: T/
