Follow-up on Previously Identified Items Closed (VIO 50-219/88-32-01):
Failure to submit a change to the site security plan in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(p).
The security licensing
,
'
engineer has been retrained in the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(p), and subsequent security plan changes have been submitted to the NRC as required.
Closed (VIO 50-219/88-38-01): Unauthorized entry into a vital area. The licensee took corrective actions to prevent similar events from recurring.
-
This included adding another security officer (50) at the VA entry point during periods of heavy traffic to ensure that no one could by pass the entry point. This requirement is documented in a revision to Security Directive No. 30.
Closed (VIO 50-219/88-33-01): A vital area barrier was found degraded due to maintenance activities.
The licensee has revised the work control program to ensure that security rec;uirements are reviewed prior to issuance of work orders.
In addition, security *arce supervisory personnel are now directly involved in daily work planning activities.
Closed (UNR 50-219/87-25-01): The tamper indicating circuit for an intrusion detection device on a certain vital area door was found inoperable and a routine surveillance testing prograni for these circuits was not in effect.
The inspector verified that the previously inoperable circuit was functioning, requested functional tests on several other

Management Support, Security Program Plans. and Audits l
a.
Management Support - Management support for the licensee's Physical Fecurity Program was determined to be adequate by the inspectors.
This determination was based upon the inspectors' review of various aspects of the licensee's program during this inspection as documented in this report.
,
b.
Security Program Plans - The inspectors verified that changes to the licensee's Security, Contingency, and Security Officer Training and Qualification Plans, as implemented, did not decrease the effectiveness of the respective plans, and had been submitted in
'
accordance with NRC requirements.
However, the inspectors noted that Revision No. 26 to the physical'
security plan (the Plan), which had been submitted to the NRC under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(p) and had been implemented by the licensee, conta1ned changes that were sufficiently vague to preclude a consistent interpretation. The licensee was advised to discuss the
,
revision with the NRC Region I reviewer and then to clarify the intent of the changes.
c.
Audits - The. inspectors reviewed the 1987 and 1938 annual security program audit reports and verified that the audits had been conducted in accordance with the NRC-approved Physical Security Plan (the Plen).
The audits were comprehensive in scope with the results reported to the appropriate levels of management. The inspectors'
review included the responses from the security organization to the audit findingr.. The documented corrective actions appeared appropriate for the findings.
4.0 Protected and Vital Area Physical Barriers, Detection and l
Assessment Aids a.
Protected Area Barriers - The inspectt,rs conducted a physical l
inspection of the protected area (PA) barrier on September 11 i
and 12, 1989. The inspectors determined by observation that the l
barricrs were installed and maintained as described in the Plan. No l
deficiencies were noted.
l-b.

accompanied by a representative of the licensee's security organization. The inspectors determined, by observation, that lighting in the PA and isolation zones was adequate.
No deficiencies were noted, e.
