Licensee is the holder of License No. DPR–31 and DPR–41, issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) on July 19, 1972, and April 10, 1973, respectively, pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50. The license authorizes the operation of Turkey Point Nuclear Plant (facility) in accordance with the conditions specified therein. The facility is located on the Licensee’s site in Florida City, Florida. II On February 16, 2006, the NRC initiated an Augmented Inspection Team on-site inspection to review security-related matters at the facility. Subsequently, an investigation was initiated by the NRC’s Office of Investigations (OI) during February 2006, in response to concerns identified by the NRC during the on-site inspection. During the inspection and investigation in February 2006, Mr. Juan PO 00000 Frm 00088 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Blanco admitted during an NRC Office of Investigations (OI) interview that during a previous interview with OI in April 2005, he provided a statement that was not complete and accurate. Specifically, Mr. Blanco stated to OI in April 2005 that he had no knowledge of an incident involving the removal of two firing pins from contingency response weapons. However, in a February 2006 interview with OI, Mr. Juan Blanco admitted that he was shown the firing pins after the pins were removed from the weapon by the security officer who removed the pins. In addition, Mr. Blanco failed to report information to FPL or Wackenhut that was adverse to the safety and security of the facility, as required by the FPL Behavior Observation Program. Specifically, Mr. Blanco failed to report that firing pins had been removed from contingency weapons that were considered serviceable by FPL. As a result, Mr. Juan Blanco’s actions were determined to be in violation of 10 CFR 50.5(a)(2), which states, in part, that an employee of a contractor may not deliberately submit to the NRC, a licensee, or a licensee’s contractor, information that the person submitting the information knows to be incomplete or inaccurate in some respect material to the NRC. III Based on the above, the NRC concluded that Mr. Juan Blanco, a former employee of The Wackenhut Corporation, has engaged in deliberate misconduct in violation of 10 CFR 50.5(a)(2). The NRC must be able to rely on the Licensee, its contractors, and its employees to comply with NRC requirements. Mr. Juan Blanco’s deliberate action in violation of 10 CFR 50.5(a)(2), has raised serious doubt as to whether he can be relied upon to comply with NRC requirements. Consequently, I lack the requisite reasonable assurance that licensed activities can be conducted in compliance with the Commission’s requirements and that the health and safety of the public will be protected, and that common defense and security will be achieved if Mr. Juan Blanco were permitted at this time to be involved in NRC-licensed activities. Therefore, the public health, safety and interest require that Mr. Blanco be prohibited from any involvement in NRC-licensed activities for a period of three years from the date of this Order. Additionally, Mr. Juan Blanco is required to notify the NRC of his first employment in NRC-licensed activities for a period of one year following the prohibition period. Furthermore, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202, E:\FR\FM\20FEN1.SGM 20FEN1
