2.0 Follow-up on a Previously Identified Item i
i 2.1 (Closed) VIO 50-336/92-25-004: Failure to maintain adequate compensatory measures.
The inspectors review of this violation disclosed that it was the result of generic post orders that lacked specificity and poor supervisor oversight of performance.

Security program enhancements made since the last physical security inspection in March 1993 (50-245/93-11; 50-336/93-12 and 50-423/93-19) were as follows:
