Feb rua ry 29, 1984 MEMORANDUM FOR:
Colleen Woodhead Office of Executive Legal Director FROM:
LeRoy R. Norderhaug, Chief Safeguards and Emergency Preparedness Branch SUBJECT:
REGION V SAFEGUARDS INSPECTIONS Persuant to your request of February 27, 1984, enclosed are copies of reports of safeguards inspections conducted at UCLA during the years of 1975 through 1983.
Please rote that, except for the report designated 50-142/83-02(IE-V-577) dated July 8,1983 and modified July 20, 1983, all may contain proprietary infor mation and thus are subject to the disclosure provisions of 10 CFR 2.790(a)(4), (d)(2), 9.5(a)(4) and 9.12.
With the exception of the above mentioned report and Inspection Report No.
,
'"
50-142/82-03(IE-V-520) dated August 27, 1982, all have previously been the subject of FOIA request (#FOIA 82-381).
Copies, expurgated of proprietary information, should be available from Ms. Nina Toms, Office of Administration.
You will note that each of our letters that deal with secu-ity measures recognizes that some review by the inspector of the licensee's susceptibility to sabotage is done even though no specific regulations may apply.
This is the reason that on August 13, 1976 an evaluation memorandum to IE Headquarters--rather than a citation--was prepared regarding a possible sabotage vulnerability.
Since that time general upgrades of security measures throughout the industry for the protection of SNM against thef t (which also provides a measure of protection against sabotage) have been enacted.
See for example 10 CFR 73.67.
If we can be of any further assistance, please advise.

Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Noncompliance (142/76-01):
Failure to take corrective action when keys to security locks were lost and duplicated without authorization.
The inspector found that written procedures new exist and approved key control practices are being folicaed to insure key system integrity.
3.
Essential Ecuipment
_
The licensee has designated the reactor controls, the reactor and the cooling system as essential equipment.
-
No items of nonccmpliance or deviations were identified.
4.
Security Areas The inspector examined the security barriers as they existed September 21, 1977 and found them to be as described in the licensee's security plan dated January 20, 1977 as revised May 13, 1977 and August 24, 1977.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
.
5.
Security Systems A.
The inspector tested the dead locking feature of the Russwin Mortise latches installed on doors providing access to and within the Nuclear Energy Laboratory.
In several of the locks it was noted the dead locking feature failed to operate.
ine inspector den.nstrated to licensee staff that tr.e door from classroom 20 into the reactor high bay, keyed to operate frca "A" lev.

Regulatory Guide 5.12 and Tne Office of Inspection and Enforcement Circular 77-04 indicate the accected industria!
practice of maintaining locking devices so tna; their circin-vention by comon burglary techniques is precluded.
These findings represent a deviation.
B.
The licensee has installed a Kidde Model KD 3 Ultrasonic Intrusion Alarm.
Through interview of the licensee's employees and direc,t observation, the inspector determined that the telephone' lines transmitting signals from the alarm system in the Nuclear Energy Laboratory to the UCLA Police Department passed through regular telephone junction boxes and frames.
In the junction boxes and frames, the alarm lines are identified by red rubbe caps on the terminals.
The inspector also observed that junction boxes through which the alarm system lines traveled were not equipped with tamper indicating devices.
Neither line supervision nor "fail-safe" alarm circuitry is incorporated to detect tampering or a break in the line.
The licensee's approved security plan states "The alarm system '
registers a security violation. if signal-irsent along an -
'
isolated tamper proof telephone ITne to the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> manned

These findings represent an item of noncompliance.
6.
Oraanization The inspector reviewed the licensee's security organization and the relationship with local law enforcement authorities on September 22, 1977, and found it to be as described in the security plan.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
7.
Access Control The inspector examined key control procedures and personnel access to the security areas.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
8.
Surveillance The lice:1see's approved security plan (part II, paragraph C2)
states "That during non-working hours, the lock and key system and the alarm system provide the surveillance of security areas."
Part 1, paragraph B of the security plan states "Secu ity Areas

_
_
_ requir' A level access or higner.
These areas, tne res.cter recm (1000) and the radio active storage room (witnin room 1540), are identified in figures 6 througn 8."
The inspector tested the licensee's alarm system by having tne licensee place the alarm system in a secure mode and establisning direct radio com.munication with the UCLA Police Alarm Station.
Tte police alarm station was instructed to report incoming alarms for this test imediately.
The inspector then entered the reactor high bay (room 1000), a security area.
The inspector walked continuously within the' reactor room both upstairs and downstairs around the reactor without detection by the intrusion detector system.
After approximately nine minutes wnile the inspector was touching the alarm control panel within the security area, the system indicated an alarm. Through interview of licensee staff, the inspectcr determined the alarm sensitivity had been decreased because of false alarms caused by wind draf ts.
The licensee increased tne sensitivity of the alarm system and it was retested in the same manner by the inspector.
With the increased sensitivity, the alarm system indicated intrusion by the inspector on the third step within the security area.
These findings represent an item of noncompliance.
.
9.
Procedures
,
The inspector reviewed the licensee's procedures for response to detected unauthorized intrusions, security violations by authori:ed personnel, bomb threats, acts of civil disorder, security program review and key control.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
Exit Interview 10. _
The inspector met with licensee representatives (denoted in para-
.
graph 1) at the conclusion of the inspection on Sept:mber 22, 1977.
The inspector sumerized the scope and findings of the inspection.
The licensee representatives made the following remarks in response to certain of the items disassed by the inspector:
Stated the discription of the alarm system transmission wires had been given to them by their installation personnel and they would check into it.
(paragraph 5)
Acknowledged the problems with the dead latching feature of
.
their locks and stating their locksmiths have been instructed to alleviate the problem. (paragraph 5)
,
e Stated they would adjust the alarm systeni to a perforrance standard and inform NRC of that standard, and/or procedures to assure a constant effective level of sensitivity in the secur.ity intrusion alarm system. (paragraph 8)

Notice of Deviation Based on the results of the NRC inspection conducted on October 30-31, i
1978, it appears that certain of your activities appeared to deviate from your internal security rocedures or ycur commitment contained in your letter to Region V, USNRC, dated Cecember 21, 1977, as indicated below.
1.
The licensee stated in their letter to Region V. USNRC, dated December 21, 1977, Paragraph A.2, "An alarm sensitivity pro-cedure is currently being formulated and will go into effect prior to January 20, 1978 "
~
The inspector determined through interview of licensee personnel or. Octcber 31, 1978, that the licensee has not yet prepared or imple ented an alarm sensitivity procedure.
2.
The licensee stated in their letter to Region V, USNRC, dated December 21, 1977, Paragraph B.1, "In addition, to ensure that all doors / latching mechankms are in proper work-ing order in the future, a monthly check on all doors will be made by the NEL Security Officer with any discrepancies taken care of imediately."
.
Contrary to the above, the inspector determined through testing of the doors to the reactor high bay security area that the dead locking feature on two doors fa.iled to operate.
The inspector reviewed records in the NEL showing that the maintenance on the malfunctioning locks had been requested in February, May and July 1978. At the time of the~ inspection, the locks had not yet been repaired.

MC-85102B Material Control and Accounying (Reactor)
Conducted a special inspection to physically inventory the SSNM at the
Nuclear Energy Laboratory (NEL) and other locations of the University of
-
California, Los Angeles.
,
The fresh fuel in the storage vault was physically inventoried by piece
count of the nine assemblies and verification of serial number
identifications and location to records.
The total weight of U-235 in
this stratum is 1389.96 grams using the fuel fabricator's data.
__
The Argonaut Reactor acet inventory was accepted by reference to source
!
documents.
Core le2 h(.w records indicatt that the reactor contains
?
3531.17 g of U-235.
ttel U-235 in NEL is 4921.13 grams, under License
R-71.
_
There is a Pu-Be neutron source in NEL that nominally centains 32g of Pu.
.
This item was inventoried by serial number identification and detection
-
of a neutron flux by a neutron source counter. The serial number is
==d
M-730. This source is used with suberitical assemblies for instructional
'
purposes, and is possessed under License R-71.
-
The second Pu-Be neutron source is stored in the Cs 137 calibration
-
source building. The r.ource was inventoried by serial number
verification, M-908, and detection of a neutron flux.
It is nominally
___
contains 32g Pu and is possessed under SNM-974 license.
The third Pu-Be neutron source possesstJ under state licensee. 1335-70 is
stored in the Van de Graaf f generator cage in Knudsen Hall under the
custody of the Department of Physics.
This item was inventoried by
---
serial number verification and neutron flux detection.
The serial number
is M-395, and contains a nominal 32g of Pu.

CA State
Utilizing the formula in 10 CFR 73.60, the amount of SSh3 is calculated
to be (4921.13 g U-255) + 2.5(32 g Pu) = 5001.13 g for NEL.
If the
radioactive decay corrections for the plutonium isotopes (1) present in
the Pu-Be neutron source are applied the total is 5000.57 g of SSht.
The-
remaining Pu-Be sources,
possessed under licenses Sht-974 and CA State
1335-70, are stored at noncontiguous sites with respect to h'EL and each
other, and are therefore exempt under 10 CFR S 73.67(b)(1)(ii).
