SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORTS 50-010/98018(DRS); 50-237/98027(DRS);

Dear Mr. Kingsley:

This refers to the security inspection conducted on October 13-16,1998, at the Dresden Nuclear

Power Station. The purpose of the inspection was to determine whether activities authorized by

the license were conducted safely and in accordance with NRC security related requirements.

Overall performance of your security organization, except as noted in this report, was

fundamentally sound. Security personnel were knowledgeable of their duties and demonstrated

proper implementation of security requirements. Management activities were focused toward

maintaining an effective security program. Inspected security aquipment lunctioned as

designed.

.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that a violation of NRC

requirements occurred. The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the

circumstances surrounding it are described in detail in the subject inspection report. The

violation is of concem because it demonstrated that security personnel were not aware of a

vulnerability in the site package search program that could have allowed unauthorized material

to enter the protected area. When the violation was identified by the inspector, security

management took aggressive and prompt measures to correct the problem and to prevent

recurrence.

The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason for the violation and the

corrective actions taken are adequately addressed on the docket in this inspection Report

(50-010/98018; 50-237/98027; and 50-249/98027). Therefore, you are not required to respond

to this letter unless the description therein does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or

your position. In that case, or if you choose to provide additional information, you should follow
