| SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION AND PROPOSED IMPOSITION 0? CIVIL PENALTIES (NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-458/86-11 AND 50-458/86-17)
| |
| This refers to the inspections conducted on February 25 March 31 through April 4, and May 2, 1986, at the River Bend Station, St. Francisville, Louisiana, which examined access control.- personnel, physical barriers -
| |
| vital areas, and licensee reporting. Our inspection reports sent to you previously documented apparent violations of NRC requirementa based on conditions identified by Gulf States Utilities. The violations were discussed
| |
| ,
| |
| at an enforcement conference held on June 10,.1986, at the Region IV office in
| |
| '
| |
| Arlington, Texas. Based'on these discussions and additional evaluation by the Region IV office, the violations identified are described in the enclosed Notice
| |
| -
| |
| of Violatio Violation I.A consists of multiple examples of failure to adequately control
| |
| '
| |
| the actess of personnel to vital areas. The specific incidents consisted of '
| |
| ,
| |
| incorrectly devitalizing the plant auxiliary building access control system on February 18, 1986, which allowed one person without proper access to enter the '
| |
| building, improperly removing a hatch cover that allowed vital island-to-vital *
| |
| island access on February 16, 1986, allowing a vital island door to be unsecured l and uncompensated for on April 28, 1986, and improperly removing a large concrete floor plug which served as a vital island-to-vital island barrie None of these access points were compensated for by posting security personnel i prior to or at the time of the devitalization or removal of the barrier or
| |
| ) detection capabilities. During the April 28 incident, River Bend Station was
| |
| '
| |
| in operational Mode 1. During the February and April 2 incidents, the River Bend Station was in operational Mode 4. These violations demonstrate deficiencies in management's ability to exercise effective personnel access control at the River Bend Station.

| | Senior Vice President River Bend Nuclear Group P. O. Box 220 St. Francisville, Louisiana 70775 Gentlemen: |
| .
| | Thank you for your letter dated September 5,'1986, in response to our Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalties dated August 7, 1986. |
| Gulf States Utilities -2-Violation I.B consists of two examples of failure to provide adequate vital area physical barriers. One example consists of a man-sized cable tray penetration, which allowed protected area to vital area access. The opening was discovered on March 26, 1986 (Report 50-458/86-17). The other example is a series of man-sized cable tray openings in three different barriers between vital islands. The openings were discovered on April 2, 1986 (Report 50-458/
| |
| 86-17). These violations demonstrate the failure of management to recognize and correct plant design deficiencies as they related to implementation of the security progra ,
| |
| To emphasize the need to improve licensee management control in the areas of vital area personnel access control and design interfaces with 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 Penalties in the amount of Sixty-five TI,ousand Dollars ($65,000) for the violations 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), Violations and I.B described in the enclosed Notice have been categorized at Severity Levels II and III, respectively. The base value of a civil penalty for a Severity Level 11 violation is $80,000 and for a Severity Level III violation is $50,000. The NRC Enforcement Policy allows for reduction of a cisil penalty under certain circumstances. In this case, the base civil penalty for each violation is reduced by 50 percent because of your prompt and extensive corrective action Violation II involved the failure to promptly report a major loss of security affectiveness to the NRC. This violation demonstrates a need to give more attention to compliance with NRC requirements. This violation has been categorized as a Severity Level IV violatio ,

| | In reference to Attachment 3 of your letter, you stated that "the security incidents, when examined separately, would normally fall into a lower category of violation." This is not the case. Each incident, when examined separately against the requirements of 10 CFR 2, Appendix C, Supplement III, demonstrates a failure to control access such that two of the three elements of access control at the barrier are inadequate. Thus, each incident could have been categorized as a Severity Level III violation. The NRC essentially mitigated the penalty for each individual violation by combining the individual events into two violations with multiple examples. In addition, the NRC reduced the base civil penalty for each violation by 50 percent, because of your prompt and extensive corrective actions, and does not consider further mitigation to be warranted. |

Docket: 50-458/86-11 50-458/86-17 Gulf States Utilities ATTN: William J. Cahill, Jr.
Senior Vice President River Bend Nuclear Group P. O. Box 220 St. Francisville, Louisiana 70775 Gentlemen:
Thank you for your letter dated September 5,'1986, in response to our Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalties dated August 7, 1986.
We have r.o questions at this time and will review the implementation of your corrective actions during a future inspection to determine that full compliance has been achieved and will be maintained.
In reference to Attachment 3 of your letter, you stated that "the security incidents, when examined separately, would normally fall into a lower category of violation." This is not the case. Each incident, when examined separately against the requirements of 10 CFR 2, Appendix C, Supplement III, demonstrates a failure to control access such that two of the three elements of access control at the barrier are inadequate. Thus, each incident could have been categorized as a Severity Level III violation. The NRC essentially mitigated the penalty for each individual violation by combining the individual events into two violations with multiple examples. In addition, the NRC reduced the base civil penalty for each violation by 50 percent, because of your prompt and extensive corrective actions, and does not consider further mitigation to be warranted.
Sincerely, ORIGINAL SIGNED SY ROBERT D. MARTW Robert D. Martin Regional Administrator cc: (sea next page)
