Florida Power Corporation, Crystal River Nuclear Generating Plant 
(License No. DPR-72); Receipt of Petition for Director's Decision Under 
10 CFR 2.206

    Notice is hereby given that the staff of the U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received a petition dated March 28, 
1996, filed by Louis D. Putney, Esq., on behalf of Barry L. Bennett 
(petitioner). The petition requests, pursuant to section 2.206 of Title 
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 2.206), that the NRC 
investigate concerns regarding security deficiencies at Florida Power 
Corporation's Crystal River Nuclear Generating Plant (Crystal River). 
The petition also requests that, upon a determination that these 
concerns are valid, the NRC institute a proceeding to suspend or revoke 
the operating license of Crystal River pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202 until 
such time as these concerns are corrected.
    As the basis for his petition, Mr. Bennett claims that during his 
employment with SBI Inc., a company that provided contract nuclear 
security services for Florida Power Corporation, he observed various 
security deficiencies at Crystal River.
    The petition is being treated pursuant to 10 CFR 2.206 of the 
Commission's regulations. The petition has been referred to the 
Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. As provided by 10 
CFR 2.206, appropriate action will be taken on the petition within a 
reasonable time.
    A copy of the petition is available for inspection and copying in 
the Commission's Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, 
DC 20555.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 14th day of June 1996.
