Exit Interview (t!C 530703B):
The inspector met with senior licensee representatives noted in Paragraph I at the conclusion of the inspection on February 3, 1983.
The inspector summarized the scope and findings of the inspection and informed the licensee that no items of noncompliance were identi-fled.
The licensee acknowledged the inspector identified weakness relating to documentation of training records and agreed to correct it.
(See paragraph 6).
Additionally, the licensee again expressed a concern that was noted during the physical protection inspection (50-186/81-02) in May 1931.
At that time, the licensee indicated that their revised security plan, submitted in Flay 1980, was not yet approved. The inspector informed the licensee that based on a telephone discussion with the Plan Reviewer in N!!SS prior to the inspection, the plan still has not been reviewed. The plan is scheduled for formal review by N!!SS in April 1983.
3.
Independent inspection (!!C 592713B): No items of noncompliance were noted.
The inspector reviewed the following three subjects with licensee personnel:
(1) August 6, 1981 audit by outside agency, (2) Protection of Safeguards Information, and (3) 73.71 reporting requirements.
On August 6, 1981, the University Police conducted an independent audit of the Reactor Facility's security program. This audit is required by the security plan to be completed every two years.
The auda was thorough in nature and many of the observations by police personnel have been or will be incorporated by the licensec.
The two cost significant observations, which are expected to be implemented by the licensee by December 1983 are:
(1) the updating; of the licensee'scalarm system to provido bottor

and (2) use of d

The inspector reviewed the licensee's protection of Safeguards Information through a review of records and an. interview with the licensee's security contact. The licensee properly labels all Safeguards Information and controls access to only those individuals with a need-to-know.
Safeguards Information is stored in a combina-tion locked safe approved in accordance with the General Services Administration. The inspector determined that the licensee is com-plying with the performance requirements of 10 CFR 73.21.
During the inspection, the inspector. advised the licensee of 10 CFR 73.71 reporting requirements.
Examples of events and actions tc be taken were discussed. As of the date of this inspection, the licensee has not had any events which would require telephonic notification of the NRC.
The licensee will maintain a log listing such events for informational and audit purposes.
4.
Site Orientation (MC 81N14B):
After the entrance briefing, the inspector was given an orientation tour of the facility.
The tour was conducted to familiarize the inspector with the licensee's facility.
The inspector paid particular attention to areas where the licensee has made changes since the last inspection and those areas where change is contemplated. No weaknesses in the licensee's security system were noted as a result of the orientation tour.
The inspector also viewed the licensee's indoctrination training film and noted that previous weaknesses in the security system were emphasized so that current employees would be more alert to avoid such problems in the future. The indoctrination is required training for those individuals desiring unescorted access to the facility and appeared to be adequate.
5.
Security Plan / Implementing Procedures (MC 81N18B):
No items of non-compliance were noted.
As mentioned in Paragraph 2, the licensee's revised plan dated May 16, 1980, has not been approved.
Therefore, the licensee was inspected against the approved security plan dated September 15, 1974 Through a review of the physical security plan and interviews with the responsible individual for security at the facility, David McGinty, the inspector identified changes or modifications to the licensee's plan since the last inspection.
The licensee has kept the NPC advised of changes to the security plan, with the most recent change dated January 5. 1963.
The l i ce::s e e submitted this char:ge w: thin the time period and under the provis: ens of 10 CFR 50.54(p).
It is the in-spector's opinion that the change to the plan appeared to increase the effectiveness of the security plan and is further addressed in Paragraph 15 of this report.
A review of records, as wel: as observations and interviews. con-ducted by the inspector she.ced that the licensee implements procedur'es which aid in the effectiveness of the approved security plan.

.a The Associate Director for the Research Reactor Facility reviews the Physical Security Plan and Procedures on an annual basis.
The last review was conducted on September 9,1982, and all requested adminis-trative changes were implemented later that month. Since the annual review was conducted, the licensee has revised or reemphasized pro-cedures on an as needed basis.
The procedures reviewed by the in-spector were adequate in meeting the commitments outlined in the security plan.
6.
Security Organization (MC 81N22B):
No items of noncompliance were noted.
An interview with the Assistant Director of the University Police Department, as well as a review of records, showed that the licensee is meeting security plan commitments regarding the overall structure and functional responsibilities of the security organization.
During interviews with rand, Reactor personnel, the inspector verified that the
, would respond to the r
Reactor Facility in an expeditious manner. Xdditiona_11y, other Local Law Enforcement Authorities (LLEA) such as the p ould respond as necessary.
The
' consists of l full-time comm.issioned
.of ficers andgdispatchers. The k'atchmen Section consists ofgwatch-men and; $ up~ervisor. The police department performs routine patrols of the reabtor facility in_ addition to their response function.
One minor weakness was noted.
During a review of security force records, the inspector could not verify, annual retraining' concern-ing indoctrination to the Reactor Facility.
Neither the_ University police force nor the licensee was able to present documentation that showed it was completed. The licensee committed to document. training records more accurately and to complete 1963 annual security indoc-trination for the officers and watchmen by March 1, 1983.
7.
Records and Reports (MC 81N38B):
No items of noncompliance were noted.
The inspector reviewed the licensee's records and reports for the following criteria:
(a) document availability, (b) adequacy of the licensee's record and report preparation in response to regulatory require rents, (c) completeness of documentation, (d) accuracy of documentation, and (e) adequacy of document retentien periods.
Regarding the weakness in.documentatior. training identified in Paragraph 6. the licensee will document the training'to comply the above criteria.
The following records were reviewed:

No it ems of noncompi i-ance were noted.
The licensee delineates security areas as Protectod, Vit al, and Material access areas.
In a March 26, 1975 letter from NRR to t.he University of Missouri - Columbia, the licensee was granted certain exemptions concerning the requirements of physical barriers as M!GMDSWORMNTO%

All physical barriers provlueu a sufficient deterrent to attempted penetrations and were maintained in accordance with the security plan.
11.
Lighting (MC SIN 62B):
No items of noncompliance were noted.
On the evening of February 2, 1983, the inspector toured the exterior of the reactor facility and verified that exterior lighting was sufficient to aid in detection of unauthorized entry to the facility.
The two year audit conducted by the University Police on August 6, 1981, in-cluded a weakness in exterior lighting. The licensee repositioned the angle of several lights to comply with the recommendations of this audit. The inspector observed that interior lighting was sufficient to detect attempts at unauthorized entry within the reactor facility.
