| Title | Inaccurate Personnel History Questionnaire |
| Description | a former contract outage employee at Peach Bottom deliberately failed to disclose on a Personal History Questionnaire (PHQ), a previous, non-nuclear employment from which he had been terminated for a positive FFD test, in order to gain unescorted access (UA) to Peach Bottom. As a result of the investigation, the NRC determined that, on September 8, 2008, the contract employee did fail to disclose his prior employment with the non-nuclear company on the PHQ, and also failed to provide information about the positive FFD test. However, after considering the information developed during the investigation, the NRC concluded that it did not have sufficient evidence to conclude that the individuals failures were deliberate. Nonetheless, as a result of these failures by the contract employee, Exelon granted the individual UA to Peach Bottom from September 11, 2008, until September 28, 2008. Exelon learned of the individuals positive FFD in August 2009, when the contract employee attempted to gain UA to Progress Energys Crystal River Nuclear Generating Plant 3 (Crystal River) Although the contract employee did not enter any Vital Areas at Peach Bottom and also did not perform work on any safety-related equipment during the time he was granted access, the contract employees actions caused Exelon to be in violation of NRC requirements, specifically: 1) 10 CFR 50.9, which states in part that information required by the Commissions regulations, orders, or license conditions to be maintained by the licensee shall be complete and accurate in all material respects; and, 2) 10 CFR 73.56(c) and Section 9.1 of the Peach Bottom Physical Security Plan, both of which state, in part, that the licensees access authorization program must provide high assurance that the individuals who are granted unescorted access are trustworthy and reliable. Although Exelon was unaware of the contract employees omission of information regarding the positive FFD test, Exelon is responsible for the adequacy of its Physical Security Plan and background checks to identify past actions and appropriately evaluate the trustworthiness and reliability of applicants for UA.
