6. Alarm Station and Communications The inspectors observed the operation of the CAS and SAS and determined that they were maintained and operated as committed to in the Plan. CAS and SAS operators were interviewed by the inspectors and found to be knowledgeable of their duties and responsibilitie The inspectors verified that the CAS and SAS do not contain any operational activities that would interfere with the assessment and response function The inspectors observed tests of all communications capabilities in both the CAS and the SAS and reviewed the testing records for the communications channels. All were found to be as committed to in the Pla . Emergency Power Supply The inspectors verified <that there are several systems (batteries e dedicated diesel generator, and plant on-site AC power) that provide ~ backup power to the security systems and reviewed the accompanying test and maintenance procedures for these systems. The systems and procedures were consistent with the Pla The batteries, battery chargers and the diesel generators are located in VA The inspectors verified that the door access control system for Unit 3 VAs will permit emergency ingress and egress when normal power is lost. The licensee is currently in the process of modifying the Units 1 and 2 VA door access control system to permit similar emergency ingress and egres . Testing, Maintenance and Compensatory Measures The inspectors reviewed testing and maintenance records and confirmed that the records committed to in the Plan were on file and readily available for NRC review. The station Nuclear Security Organization has dedicated instrumentation and controls technicians as a part of the security organization to repair / replace and test , any security equipment which requires preventative or corrective l maintenance. A check of repair records indicated that ) repairs / replacements and testing has been accomplished in a timely manner.

   '8 I The inspectors reviewed the licensee's use of ~ compensatory measures and determined them to be as committed to in the Pla q 9.0, Security Training and Qualification    t The inspectors randomly selected and reviewed the' training and  j qualifications' records for 3 security officers (S0s). Physical  1 qualifications and. firearms. qualifications records were' inspecte These ' records were for armed guards, watchmen and supervisory personnel. The inspectors determined that the required training had been conducted in accordance with the security program plans and that it was properly documente Several S0s were interviewed to determine if they possessed th requisite knowledge-and ability to carry out their assigned dutie The interview results indicated that the S0s were very professional and. knowledgeable of their job requirement NOTE: The inspectors determined that the turnover rate in the security force for 1988 was very high, about forty-seven percen The inspectors expressed concern to the licensee that the overall experience level of the guard-force is being reduced by this turnover rate. - This potential problem will be reviewed during subsequent inspection The licensee's contract security force consists of approximately 203 S0s and supervisory personnel. The inspectors verified that the armed response force meets the commitments in the Plan and that there is always one full-time member of the security organization on-site who has the authority to direct security activitie The inspectors reviewed the Licensee Event Reports (LERs) for reporting of Safeguards events as required in 10 CFR 73.71. The inspectors determined that the incidents of guards found inattentive while on duty (four in 1988 and one in 1989) appears to be hig The licensee stated that more frequent post rotations and supervisory inspections of posts, as well as disciplinary measures, have been instituted to reduce such incidents and that the matter is being closely monitored. The inspectors determined that the five incidents of inattentive guards were not violations of NRC requirements since the guards were not posted to compensate for out-of-service equipment but, rather, as enhanced PA intrusion detection. This potential problem will be reviewed further during subsequent inspection .0 Safeguards Information Program The SGI program was reviewed in conjunction with the inspectors review of a previously identified violation in this area (reference paragraph 2.a.).

The licensee's actions in response to this violation appeared to be adequate and appropriate to the inspector . _ - _-____
