SUBJECT:
MC 1240, " REGIONAL INSPECTOR UNESCORTED ACCESS AT POWER REACTORS" As ' requested in the August 3,1989, memorandum from Edward J. Butcher, Jr.,
Region II comments concerning revisions to MC 1240 are enclosed. We'believe:
that, essentially, NRC' employees, including contract employees doing inspec-
' tion work, should be subject to the.same security requirements as licensee employees. Perhaps the subject of contract employees should be addressed separately in another issuance.,
