| 1-HOUR SECURITY REPORT INVOLVING HISTORICAL ACCESS AUTHORIZATION PROGRAM |
| VIOLATION |
| |
| "During performance of a Plant Evaluation Checklist (PEC OB 99-1157) on the |
| NRC Performance Indicator for [the] Physical Protection Area, a historical |
| error was discovered pertaining [to] access authorization. It was |
| discovered that unescorted access was authorized to an individual from |
| 11/10/95 to 01/16/96. However, on 01/11/96, information was received that, |
| had it been properly investigated, would have caused denial of unescorted |
| access at that time. |
| |
| "This event is reportable as a 1-hour report pursuant to 10 CFR 73.71 as an |
| Access Authorization (AA) program violation as stated in an NRC letter from |
| LeMoine J. Cunningham, Chief Safeguards Branch, USNRC to the NRC Regions |
| chief, dated 05/19/95. In the letter, Mr. Cunningham states that events |
| involving AA program failure are reportable and a 30-day written report |
| required." |
| |
| The licensee plans to inform the NRC resident inspector. |
| |
| * * * RETRACTION ON 01/13/00 AT 1022ET FROM BOB WALTER TAKEN BY MACKINNON * |
| * * |
| |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation has further reviewed this event and |
| has determined in the information used to develop on 01/11/96 did not |
| provide a preponderance of evidence to require access screening to further |
| investigate the individual. Investigation conducted by access screening |
| identified that the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating program for access |
| screening met the guidance of NUMARC 91-03 and that a program failure did |
| not occur as a result of this event. Because a program failure did not |
| occur based upon the reportability requirements as clarified by the 05/19/95 |
| Cunningham letter, this event is no longer considered to be a 1-hour |
| reporting event. Therefore, this event notification is being retracted. |
| |
| The NRC resident inspector was notified of this event retraction by the |
| licensee. The NRC operations officer notified the R4DO (Jeff Shackelford). |
| |
| |
| * * * UPDATE ON 7/25/00 @ 1300 BY YUNK TO GOULD * * * UNRETRACTION |
| |
| Further review has lead the licensee to determine that this event could be |
| considered a program failure to review and disposition derogatory |
| information. Therefore, the licensee is unretracting this event. Since |
| this incident, the individual has not been onsite. |
| |
| The NRC Resident Inspector was notified by the licensee. The Reg 4 |
| RDO(Jones) has been informed. |
