The inspectors verified that unescorted access to VAs is limited to authorized individuals. The VA access list is revalidated at least t
every 31 days es committed to in the Plan. This program shows
!
strong management support and the personnel overseeing the program have demonstrated a clear understanding of the VA access program and taken the initiative to developed a very strong i
program. No deficiencies were noted.

and Secondary Alarm Station (SAS) and determined that they were maintained
and operated as committed to in the Plan.
interviewed by the inspectors and found to be knowledgeable of their
'
duties and responsibilities. The inspectors verified that the CAS and SAS
.
do not contain any operational activities that would interfere with the
!
assessment and response functions.
No deficiencies were noted.
The inspectors also observed tests and routine operation of all communication capabilities in the CAS and SAS and reviewed testing records.
No deficiencies were noted.

6.
Emeroency Power Supply
'
The inspectors verified that there are several systems (batteries, dedicated diesel generator, and plant on-site AC power) that provide back-up power to the security systems and reviewed the accompanying test and maintenance procedures for these systems.
The systems and procedures were consistent with the Plan. The batteries, battery chargers and the diesel generator are in VAs.
No deficiencies were noted.
The inspectors also verified that the door access control system for VAs will permit emergency ingress and egress when normal power is lost. No deficiencies were noted.

security monitors and security supervisors.
The inspectors determined that the training had been conducted in accordance with the security i
program plans and that it was properly documented.
However, the licensee is providing the security contractor with a docuinent confirming the accomplishment of the required annual physical for 50s.
These documents, in many instances, were illegible and not always properly completed. The licensee has agreed to improve the quality of this document.
This item will be reviewed in subsequent inspections.
(IFI 50-247/89-22-04)
Several S0s were interviewed to determine if they possessed the requisite knowledge and ability to carry out their assigned duties.
The interview results indicated that the 50s are receiving adequate training and are knowledgeable of their, job requirements.
The inspectors verified that the licensee's contract security force is staffed to meet the armed response force commitments in the Plan and there is always one full-time member of the security organization on-site who has the authority to direct security activities.
The inspectors determined that the turnover rate in the security forca continues to be high, about 40% per year.
However, this turnover rate did not appear to be adversely affecting the security force since it was occurring primarily among new members of the force. The inspectors interviewed approximately twenty 50s, from all three shifts, to determine if any morale problems existed. While several issues-were expressed by some of the individuals interviewed, e.g., inadequate pay, lack of weekends off for new employees, and some lack of respect from plant staff, the morale was found to be generally good.
The results of the interviews were provided to the licensee's security management for feedback to the security contractor.
9.
Safeguards Information Program l
The inspectors interviewed personnel and inspected Safeguards Information
(SGI) reposit.ories in the Security Building, CAS and SAS to determine if the licensee's on-site program for the protection of SGI meets the
'
requirements of 10 CFR 73.21. The inspectors review encompassed the
!
types of information being protected, physical protection (in-use and in-storage),markingsandaccess.
No discrepancies were noted.
I 10.
