MC 92700-Onsite Follow-u of a Re ort of a Non-routine Event a
~
Back round On October 11, 1985, at approximately 12:45 pm, the NRC resident inspector observed an individual in the protected area pass an object through the protected area fence to an individual on the outside of the protected area.
The NRC resident inspector reported his observa-tion to licensee security management who promptly investigated the incident.
The licensee's investigation disclosed that the object was a credit card and that it was passed through the fence by a relatively new plant employee to his wife who had called him earlier to arrange for the transfer of the card.
The licensee also found that the intrusion detection system ( IOS) in the area (zone)
where the transfer occurred was malfunctioning at the time and that the encroachments of the isolation zones were not observed by either the Central or Secondary Alarm Station (CAS/SAS) operators.

On October 16-17, 1985, a
NRC regional inspector reviewed the circum-stances surrounding the incident.
The inspector reviewed the Physical Security Plan and implementing procedures, the licensee's investiga-tion and relevant computer alarm records.
The inspector did not interview the employee involved in the incident because he was out of

-3-the state for a week-long training course.
The inspector determined that the licensee had adequately investigated the incident, and confirmed that the alarm zone in which the transaction had taken place was not intentionally ot inadvertently defeated at the time and had been previously tested in accordance with NRC and licensee requirements.
The failure of the alarm to annunciate was apparently the result of malfunction in that alarm zone which was beyond the licensee's control.
