NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[IA 97–001]

Darryl D. McNeil; Order Prohibiting

Involvement in NRC-Licensed

Activities (Effective Immediately)

I

Darryl D. McNeil was employed by

SBI as a Security Lieutenant at Florida

Power Corporation’s (FPC) Crystal River

site. SBI is a contractor to FPC and

provides security services for the site.

FPC holds License No. DPR–72 for

Crystal River Unit 3, issued by the

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC

or Commission) pursuant to 10 CFR Part

50 on January 28, 1977. The license

authorizes FPC to operate Crystal River

Unit 3 in accordance with the

conditions specified therein.

II

10 CFR 73.55(d) requires, in part, that

nuclear power plant licensees control

all points of personnel access into a

protected area. 10 CFR 73.55(d)(5)

requires that a numbered picture badge

identification system be used for all

individuals who are authorized access

to protected areas without escort. The

objective of the regulation is to provide

high assurance that only individuals

who require access and have been found

to be trustworthy and reliable and do

not constitute an unreasonable risk to

the health and safety of the public are

allowed to enter the protected area. The

Crystal River Unit 3 Operating License

Section 2.D, Physical Security, requires

FPC to maintain in effect all provisions

of the Commission-approved Physical

Security Plan. FPC’s Physical Security

Plan, Revision 6–9, Section 5.4.3 states:

‘‘When badges/key cards are allowed to

leave the Protected Area, they will be

under the observation and control of

Security Force personnel. * * * Lost

and missing badges/key cards are

immediately removed from the Security

Computer as soon as Security

Supervision is made aware of the loss.

Prior to removal from the Security

Computer, an investigation is conducted

to determine any unauthorized use.’’

On February 9, 1996, a Quality

Assurance employee at Crystal River

Unit 3 left the site while wearing his

security badge. During the period of

March 6, 1996, through December 13,

1996, the Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) Office of

Investigations (OI) conducted an

investigation of the circumstances

surrounding the loss of control of the

security badge at the Crystal River site.

From its investigation, the NRC

concludes that contract security

employees intentionally and

deliberately conspired to cover up the

loss of the security badge. Specifically,

the evidence revealed that, prior to the

return of the employee to the site, two

security officers became aware that this

event had occurred, and notified their

supervisor, Darryl D. McNeil, of the

event. Although Mr. McNeil admitted to

the OI investigator that he was aware of

the requirements to deactivate a missing

badge in the security access computer,

and to initiate an investigation upon

being informed of the mistake, he did

not comply with these requirements.

Instead, he permitted the security

officers: (1) to retrieve the individual’s

badge when he returned to the site later

that day; (2) to card the badge out as if

it had been processed properly upon the

individual’s exit from the plant; and (3)

to return the badge to the badge rack.

On January 16, 1997, the NRC sent a

certified letter to Mr. McNeil advising

him that his actions appeared to have

violated 10 CFR 50.5, Deliberate

Misconduct, and offering him the

opportunity to attend a predecisional

enforcement conference. By letter dated

February 10, 1997, Mr. McNeil provided

a written response to the January 16,

1997, letter in lieu of participation in an

enforcement conference. Mr. McNeil’s

letter indicated that he was aware an

employee had left the facility with his

badge and that he had been informed

that the security officer planned to

retrieve the badge and return it to the

badge rack. Mr. McNeil stated that in his
