PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED ITEHS 2.1 (Closed) IFI 50-244/94-13-01 Weaknesses concerning the Fitness-for-Duty (FFD) random selection pools being updated in an accurate and timely manner.
A review of the licensee's corrective actions, which included development of an informal procedure incorporating the cross referencing and comparing of employee data bases between the Ginna Security Systems Group and the Nuclear Access Authorization Group, appears to be effective.
Discussions with security and FFD management revealed that the informal procedure is in the process of being formalized and incorporated into the licensee's FFD program.
No deficiencies were noted.
2.2 (Closed)
YIO 50-244/94-13-02 Failure to perform monthly surveillance test on the security emergency diesel.
Based on discussions with security management and a review of applicable documentation, the inspector determined the licensee's corrective actions effective.
The corrective actions included the updating of the Results and Testing data base to ensure tests are not waived, regardless of site conditions, advance distribution of the monthly testing schedule
'
for review by applicable department supervisors, and the installation of a computer software feature which provides prompts in the event a test is not performed within the required time period.
No deficiencies were noted.
3.0 4.0 EFFECTIVENESS OF MANAGEMENT CONTROLS The inspector determined that the licensee had controls for identifying, resolving and preventing security program problems.
These controls included a self-asse'ssment program, required annual quality assurance (QA) audits, and ongoing shift supervision oversight of the program.
A review of documentation applicabl'e to the ongoing programs indicated that, initiatives to minimize security performance errors and identify and resolve potential weaknesses were effective.
MANAGEMENT SUPPORT AND AUDITS 4.1 MANAGEMENT SUPPORT 5.0 Management support for the licensee's physical security program was generally determined to be, adequate.
This determination was based upon inspector review of various program activities during this inspection, as documented in this report.
AUDITS The inspector reviewed the 1994 QA combined audit of the FFO, access authorization and security programs conducted October 17 - November 10, 1994 (Audit No. 94-31 BKS).
That audit was found to have been conducted in accordance with the licensee's Physical Security Plan (the Plan).
In the area of security, the audit documented one finding and one observation which were not indicative of programmatic weaknesses.
The inspector's-review concluded that the audit was very comprehensive in scope, the findings were reported to the appropriate level of management, and the program was'being properly administered.
PROTECTED AREA PA PHYSICAL BARRIER and DETECTION E UIPMENT 5.1 PROTECTED AREA PHYSICAL BARRIER The inspector conducted a physical inspection of the PA barrier on January 17,, 1995.
The inspector noted that since the previous inspection, the licensee had installed additional personnel/vehicle gates around the PA barrier.
The inspector determined by observation that the barrier was installed and maintained as described in the Plan.
5.2 PROTECTED AREA DETECTION EQUIPMENT The inspector physically inspected the PA intrusion detection system (IDS) on January 17, 1995, and determined that the detection aids were installed and maintained as committed to in the Plan.
Additionally, on
6.0 January 18, 1995, from 8:15 -9:15 a.m., the inspector observed licensee testing of 20 zones of the IDS at 35 locations.
All zones tested satisfactorily.
PA AND VITAL AREA VA CONTROL OF PERSONNEL PACKAGES and VEHICLES 6.1 PERSONNEL ACCESS CONTROL 6.1.1 The inspector determined that the licensee was generally -exercising positive control over personnel access to the PA and VAs.

6.2 PACKAGE AND MATERIAL ACCESS CONTROL 6.3 The inspector determined that the licensee was exercising positive control over packages and materials that were brought into the PA through the main access portal.
This determination was based on inspector review of package and material control procedures, showing that they were consistent with commitments in the Plan.
The inspector also observed package and material processing at the off-loading dock on January 19, 1995, and interviewed members of the security force and the licensee's security staff about package and material control procedures.
To enhance package searches at the off-loading dock, the licensee recently installed x-ray equipment.
The inspector determined by observation that the new equipment has greatly enhanced the off-loading dock package search requirements by eliminating the need to open and physically search all packages prior to granting access into the PA.
VEHICLE ACCESS CONTROL The inspector determined that the licensee properly controls vehicle access to the PA.
Vehicles wer e properly authorized prior to being allowed to enter the PA, with identification verified by a security force member (SFM).
On January 19, 1995, the inspector observed vehicle searches and interviewed members of the security force regarding vehicle search procedures.
The inspector concluded that the security force members were knowledgeable of their duties and responsibilities and that the vehicles were being searched effectivel.0 ALARM STATIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS 8.0 The inspector observed Central Alarm Station (CAS) and Secondary Alarm Station (SAS) operations.
Both the CAS and SAS were being maintained and operated as committed to in the Plan.
Inspector interviews of CAS and SAS operators found them knowledgeable of their duties and responsibilities.
The inspector also verified that the CAS and SAS operators were not required to engage in activities that would interfere with assessment and response functions.
In addition, the inspector verified that the licensee had communications with local law enforcement agencies as committed to in the Plan.
TESTING NAINTENANCE AND COMPENSATORY MEASURES 8.1 TESTING AND MAINTENANCE 9.0 Inspector's review of testing and maintenance records for security-related equipment confirmed that the records committed to in the Plan were on file and that the licensee was testing and maintaining systems and equipment as committed to in the Plan.
Also, corrective maintenance records indicated that repairs were timely.
COMPENSATORY MEASURES Inspector's review of,the use of compensatory measures and security force overtime found these to be minimal, due to the efforts and prompt response of the maintenance group.
SECURITY TRAINING AND UALIFICATION 10.0 The inspector randomly selected and reviewed training, physical and firearms qualification/requalification records for eight security force members (SFHs).
The inspector determined that the training had been conducted in accordance with the security training and qualification (TLg) plan and that it was properly documented.
Several SFNs were interviewed to determine if they possessed the requisite knowledge to carry out their assigned duties.
The results indicated that the individuals interviewed were knowledgeable of their job requirements.
EXIT INTERVIEM The inspector met with the licensee, representatives indicated in Section 1.0 at the conclusion of the inspection on January 20, 1995.
