SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-461/96016(DRS))
Dear Mr. Connell: I
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter dated March 3,1997,in response to our letter
dated February 4,1997. This letter transmitted a Notice of Violation associated with our !
identification of your failure to properly control some types of packages and implement
personnel access authorization to a vital area at your Clinton Nuclear Power Station.
During a telephone call on March 19,1997, Dennis Smith of your staff, clarified your
response and explained the root causes of the violations. They included examples of weak
procedures, weak oversight activities, and a lack of understanding in properly
implementing some specific security requirements. The information provided in your
corrective steps clearly and adequately addressed those root causes. We request that
future responses include your description of root causes.
We have reviewed your corrective actions and have no further questions at this time.
These corrective actions will be examined during future inspections.

Dear Sir or Madam:
The attachments to this letter contain the Illinois Power (IP) response to the two
violations of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements documented in NRC
Inspection Report 50-461/96016. IP admits that both violations occurred. The first
violation describes a failure to maintain proper control of factory sealed packages that i
entered the protected area. The second violation describes the failure to ensure only l
those contractors with a work-related need to enter the vital area of the screenhouse
were given access to that area.
Attachment A of this letter contains the response to the failure to properly
maintain control of factory sealed packages. Attachment B contains the response to the
failure to ensure that only those contractors with a work-related need to enter the
screenhouse vital area were given access to that area. IP is confident that these
responses address the concems identified in these violations.
Sincerely yours,
fp. - hitcW/

Response to Notice of Violation 50-461/96016
The Notice of violation states in part:
"Section 3.2.2.1.1 of the approved Clinton Security Plan allows that packages and
material sealed in the manufacturing process be permitted into the protected area without
search, but requires they be stored in a locked area until open.
Contrary to the above, on December 18,1996, the inspector identi6ed that some factory
sealed packages were permitted access into the protected area without search and were
routinely not stored in a locked area until opened."
Reason for the Violation
q'
The factory-scaled packages contained food items such as candy bars and pota,to chips for
lunch room vending machines. The reason the violation occurred was the personnel
delivering material to the plant in factory sealed packages were(una/vare of the
requirement for controlling these materials once they were allowed into th'ipotected area.
Also, contributing to this violation was that security did not ensure that the proper
controls were followed once the materials were released from the search area. - y
W""' U
Corrective Steos Taken and Results Achieved
,
Once it was identified that factory sealed materials had been allowed into the protected
area and were not controlled in accordance with Clinton Power Station (CPS) procedure
1032.03 " Incoming Package and Material Control" and the Clinton Security Plan security
force members were instructed on the required controls for factory sealed materials and to
notify security supervision of any materials that were not searched or searchable. This
was done to ensure that proper controls were arranged for the item that was determined to
be exempt from search. This was maintained until all security force members could be
trained on the proper controls for these materials. No further instances of failure to
.
properly control factory sealed packages have been observed since this problem was
identified.
Corrective Steos Taken to Avoid Further Violations
CPS procedure 1032.07F006 " Vehicle Operator Briefing Card," and CPS procedure
1032.07F008 " Licensee Designated Vehicle (LDV) Briefing Card," have been revised to
require security supervision to provide special instructions to vehicle operators entering
the protected area with packages that are exempt from search. These special instructions
will include how the packages are to be controlled while they are in the protected area.
Also, CPS procedure 1032.03 " Incoming Package and Material Control," was revised to
provide information on what action to take when items being brought into the plant are
exempt from search requirements through the warehouse transfer cage or the sallyport
vehicle gate,

Response to Notice of Violation 50-461/96
The Notice of violation states in part:
"Section .l.7.1 of the approved Clinton Security Plan requires that personnel access to
vital areas be based on a work-related need. Section 5.1.1.1 of the approved Clinton
Security Plan identifies the Screenhouse as a vital area.
Contrary to the above, between D-amhar 16, 1996, and January 6,1997, inspector
review of contractor personnel vital area status levels showed forty-one contractor
personnel were granted access to the Screenhouse (vital area) even though their duties
(work-related need) did not require such access."
Reason for the Violatioll
The reason for this violation was the difficulty contract coordinators had in determining
what security access zones individuals would need at the time they were given access. In
order to ensure that contractors would be able to work where needed, many contractors
were given access to the vital area of the screenhouse without a planned work-related
need for access. Contract coordinators did this knowing work was scheduled for the
screenhouse area.
Corrective Steps Taken and Results Achieved
On December 19,1996 the forty-one contract personnel that were identified as not having
a work-related need to access the vital area of the screenhouse had their access to the
screenhouse vital area terminated. Thirty-four other contract personnel had their access to
the vital area of the screenhouse terminated until their work-related need for access to that
area could be determined Also, all personnel that had access u the screenhouse vital area ,
were directed to present adequate justification for centinued access to the screenhouse- !
vital area. If adequate justification could not be determNed then the individuals access to
the screenhouse vital area was removed.

Corrective Stens Taketi to Avoid Further Violations 1

1
Nuclear Support Services (NSS) procedure 3.94 " Access Procesing" will be changed to
require the Supervisor-Security or Supervisor-Personnel Procesdng or their designee's
permission be obtained before individuals are given access to the vital area in the
I
screenhouse. The procedure will also be changed to clearly state thd granting access to
vital areas of the plant is based on a work-related need to enter those areas. These
changes to NSS procedure 3.94 will be complete by April 15,1997.
Date When Full Comoliance Will be Achieved
Illinois Power is now in full compliance with the Clinton Security Plan with respect to i
1
control of access ofindividuals to the vital area of the screenhouse.
