On March 6, 2017, a supplemental employee was granted Unescorted Access (UA) at Fermi 2 without the knowledge that the supplemental employee was previously denied UA at DC Cook on March 1, 2017. On March 23, 2017, DC Cook contacted and informed Fermi 2 that the supplemental employee had been denied UA at DC Cook. It wasn't until the call was received from DC Cook that the Access Authorization group at Fermi 2 was aware that the individual in question had been denied UA.

The supplemental worker's UA was immediately suspended. The supplemental worker was interviewed regarding denial and UA was denied at Fermi 2 on March 23, 2017. If denial at DC Cook had been known at the time access authorization was being evaluated, the request for UA would have been denied. The incident was reported to the NRC on March 23, 2017 in accordance with 10 CFR 73.71.

A PADS Synopsis Form for validation is now initiated on the same day the background file case is reviewed by the Reviewing Official prior to granting unescorted access and unescorted access authorization. This was a process change and was incorporated into Fermi 2 procedure SEP-SEl-13. This will assure the most recent PADS Synopsis Form is reviewed and no unfavorable terminations have been issued prior to granting unescorted access.

Event

Description:

On March 23, 2017 at approximately 1112 hours0.0129 days <br />0.309 hours <br />0.00184 weeks <br />4.23116e-4 months <br />, Fermi 2 Access Authorization was contacted by DC Cook's Access Authorization group requesting information on an individual who had been denied unescorted access at DC Cook and subsequently granted access at Fermi 2. Granting Unescorted Access (UA) to an individual in the "denied" state is contrary to 10CFR 73.56(h)(3). It was not until the call was received from DC Cook that the Access Authorization group at Fermi 2 was aware that the individual in question had been denied UA at DC Cook. Investigation concluded the event met the requirements for a 1-hour report to the NRC in accordance with 10CFR 73.71 and Generic Letter 91-03. UA was granted at Fermi 2 based on the individual's status as currently granted UA at DC Cook in the Personal Access Data System (PADS) on February 20, 2017. The individual's PADS Synopsis Form indicating he was currently granted UA at DC Cook was printed and placed in the background case file which is a standard practice for inprocessing preparations.

The remainder of the required background elements were then also compiled in the case file. Once all required information was compiled, access was granted on March 6, 2017 based on the PADS Synopsis form that had been generated on February 20, 2017. After the generation of the hard copy PADS Synopsis Form, information indicating a denial status was entered into the PADS database by DC Cook on March 1, 2017 unknown to Fermi 2 Access personnel.

Immediate Remedial Actions:

1. Individual was removed from the protected area at 1128 hours0.0131 days <br />0.313 hours <br />0.00187 weeks <br />4.29204e-4 months <br /> on March 23, 2017.

2. Unescorted access was denied on March 23, 2017.

3. Notifications were made to the Shift Manager and the NRC.

4. A review of all safety related work performed by this employee since March 6, 2017 was conducted by Nuclear Project Management and the Shift Manager verified that no safety related work or deficient work practices were performed that may impact the safe operation of the plant.

5. Fermi 2 Safeguards Event Report 17-036 and Condition Assessment Resolution Document (CARD) 17-22425 were generated to document this event.

Significant Safety Consequences and Implications:

The event had no adverse impact on the health and safety of the public. A transaction report was generated for the access badge activity. The employee did enter the protected area between the dates of March 6, 2017 and March 23, 2017. A review of safety-related work activity was completed by the worker's supervisor and no safety-related work was performed by the supplemental worker. This event did not threaten any plant safety systems. Local law enforcement assistance was not required, nor was there any media interest.

341 [07 SO1 - 00 NARRATIVE Apparent / Contributing Cause:

All elements of the case file review are conducted manually, therefore, any documentation that can be produced prior to the inprocessing date was placed in the review folder and checked off as complete. Once all elements are complete, the case file was ready for review. This process of checking PADS prior to arrival and placing that information in the case file review folder allowed a time lapse between verifying no unfavorable terminations were issued and granting unescorted access.

Corrective Actions:

A PADS Synopsis Form for validation is now initiated on the same day the background file case is reviewed by the Reviewing Official prior to granting unescorted access and unescorted access authorization. This was a process change and was incorporated into Fermi 2 procedure SEP-SE1-13. This will assure the most recent PADS Synopsis Form is reviewed and no unfavorable terminations have been issued prior to granting unescorted access.
