a EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Dresden Nuclear Power Station

,

NRC Inspection Report 50-010/98018; 50-237/98027; 50-249/98027 This inspection reviewed plant support activities relating to the physical protection of the Dresden facility. The report evaluated security activities related to alarm stations, communications, search equipment, response capabilities, management effectiveness and controls, audits and self-assessments, problem analysis, corrective actions, and follow-up of previous inspection finding .

Security related activities that involved alarm stations, security communication and personnel search equipment were maintained in an effective manner and performed their functions as designed (Soctions S1.1 and S2). Security force personnel, e.xgept as noted in this report, were knowledgeable of their response duties and assignments (Section S4). Security management personnel were proactive in problem identification

and resolution (Section S7).

.

The inspector identified a violation regarding the inadequate search of a hand-carried package that entered the protected area. The failure was caused when a security search officer failed to recognize that an x-ray image displayed a partial picture of a package being searched. Inspection results showed that site licensee and contractor security personnel were not aware of a vulnerability in their package search program that could have allowed unauthorized material to enter the protected area. Corrective action was implemented in a timely and effective manner. (Section S1.2)

-

The inspector determined that a recent increase in security officer " turnover" has increased overtime and reduced officer morale / attitude. The effect on performance could not yet be evaluated. (Section S6.1)
