October 5, 2004 International Guards Union of America ATTN: James W. Washington, President Local 123 P.O. Box 342 Port Gibson, MS 39150
Dear Mr. Washington:
Thank you for your letter dated August 23, 2004. The NRC appreciates your invitation for us to attend the training related to proficiency and physical fitness of security officers at the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station that began in September 2004.
The NRC will be conducting inspections of the training programs implemented in response to Order EA-03-039, Issuance of Order for Compensatory Measures Related to Training Enhancements on Tactical and Firearms Proficiency and Physical Fitness Applicable to Armed Nuclear Power Plant Security Force Personnel, dated April 29, 2003. These inspections will be carried out at all facilities in Region IV, including the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station to ensure that the training provided by Grand Gulf satisfied the requirements of the Order. Therefore, we decline your invitation at this time.
NRC is very concerned about the quality and type of training being provided to security officers.
The training provided should be equivalent to activities security officers are expected to perform in order to implement the protective strategy.
Sincerely,
//RA//
