The licensee was provided a copy of the transparencies at their request. The Region III Safeguards Section Chief noted that there were some similarities among the events, but that no two were exactly the same, and that new ideas to provide a corrective action were being sought from the license The Point Beach Plant Manager stated that they had attempted to discover a trend, but had found that the events had little in common.

He considered that progress was being achieved in increasing the security consciousness of all plant employee Several examples were cited.
