G. Bruns, Asst. Chief of Security, Green Mt. Security Services, In H. Eichenholz, USNRC Senior Resident Inspector The inspector also interviewed other licensee and security contractor employee . MC 30703 - Exit Meeting The inspector met with the individuals indicated in paragraph I at the conclusion of the. inspection on August 28, 1986. At that time, the scope and purpose of the inspection were reviewed and the findings were pre-sente At no time during this inspection was written material provided to the licensee by the inspecto . MC 92704 - Followup on Headquarters Requests During this inspection, the inspector reviewed the preliminary actions taken by the licensee in response to an NRC Regulatory Effectiveness Re-view (RER). The RER was conducted on July 28 - August 1, 1986 and the review team's preliminary findings were' discussed with the licensee at the conclusion of the RER. See Attachment I for the inspector's finding . MC 92701 - Status of Inspector Followup and Unresolved Items (Closed) Inspector Followup Item 50-29/85-17-01:

compensatory measures had been rescinde (See paragraph 11 of this report for information regarding a test of this system change.) (Closed) Unresolved Item 50-29/82-09-01:

The licensee had misplaced the manufacturer's certification for the t

bullet-resistant features of a new portal door in a vital area that had been recently installed as a replacement for a door for which certification could not be found. The inspector examined the door and reviewed a new certification from the manufacturer dated August

' 20, 1986, and confirmed that the door met the requirements of the NRC-approved security pla . MC 81022 - Security Organization l

Sufficient trained and qualified security personnel were available to meet the protection requirements of the NRC-approved security plan. However, a higher than normal attrition rate was being incurred over the last few months. In an effort to determine the reason behind this,the inspector interviewed security personnel working the 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. shift on August 26-27, 1986. The inspector found that the guards were performing their required duties, but morale appeared low due to their general dis-satisfaction with the existing work schedule that required them to work an average of 60 hours6.944444e-4 days <br />0.0167 hours <br />9.920635e-5 weeks <br />2.283e-5 months <br /> per week.- The overtime, in part, was due to the need to implement compensatory measures as a result of some of the RER team's

,

findings. Based on corrective actions implemented by the Itcensee since the RER, which were reviewed by the inspector during this inspection, the

,

compensatory measures, and hence the need for overtime, were found to be i no longer necessary.

!

!

Also during this inspection, the inspector found it difficult to obtain specific information on the corrective actions taken in response to the RER team's finding Security management did not appear to have in l effective system to track the status of the work requested and the work

,

completed on each action, nor did they maintain a composite listing of the work orders involved. The inspector eventually obtained the needed

, information by interviewing several security and technical services i supervisors and by reviewing the actual work orders when they were i collected and presented to him. The inspector was then able to conduct a l visual inspection of the completed work and obtained a briefing on that which remains. The inspector also experienced difficulty in obtaining

'

information to followup on an Unresolved Item (50-29/82-09-01) and in obtaining records of routine testing and maintenance conducted during April and May~1986. The .nformation needed for the Unresolved Item took

' two days to retrieve and the testing and maintenance records took one day to retrieve. The problems encountered by the inspector were brought to i the attention of the licensee during the inspection and again, at the exit i interview. The licensee agreed to review the current method of control-1 ling information and recor6 in order to effect improvements.

The audit was conducted by three auditors from the corporate staff on January 14, 21-24, 1986. The in-spector found that the scope of the audit was adequate, and that the licensee had promptly corrected the one identified deficienc .

The inspector observed all sections of the protected area barrier (fence and gates) and selected vital and access control structural barrier features and found them to be in conformance with the NRC-approved se-curity plan.
