2.0 Follow-un of Previously Identified Items 2.1 (Closed) URI 50-247/93-08-01: Inadequate performance of the intrusion detection system.
O During the previous inspection (50-247/93-08) the inspectors determined that the licensee's intrusion detection system performed inadequately due to inclement weather and that the exterior patrol officers failed to detect I
associated potential vulnerabilities. Based on a review of the licensee's corrective actions, which included the revision of post orders and the incorporation of lessons learned in the training lesson plans and critical tasks relevant to patrol responsibilities, the inspector determined by a review of training lesson plans and critical tasks and discussions with security management that the corrective actions were adequate. No discrepancies were note ;

2.2 (Closed) VIO 50-247/93-08-02: Failure to properly search packages and personnel prior to granting protected area (PA) access.
During the previous inspection (50-247/93-08) the inspectors determined that security force members (SFMs) failed to properly search personnel and packages at the main access control point prior to granting access to the PA in accordance with the Physical Security Plan (the Plan). Based on a review of the licensee's corrective actions, which included the revision of applicable
l lesson plans and post orders, observation of access control during peak and off l
peak periods, and discussions with security force members and licensee management, the inspector found the corrective actions effective. No discrepancies were noted.
3.0 Manacement Support and Plans O
3.1 Manacement Supoort
.
Management support for the licensee's physical security program was l
determined to be consistent with program needs. This determination was based upon the inspectors' review of various aspects of the licensee's program during this inspection as documented in this report.
Security program enhancements made since the last routine physical security inspection (50-247/93-08) were:
-
acquisition of a trailer complex, located at the north end of the owner controlled area, and designated = the new security training center;
-
repositioning of several CCTV's to enhance PA assessment; and
-
the near completion of the common barrier project between Units #2 and #3.
3.2 Plans The inspector discussed proposed changes to the Plan with the licensee. The licensee intends to submit the Plan changes to the NRC in the near future under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(p).

4.1 Protected Area Barrier The inspectors conducted a physical inspection of the PA barrier on November 8,1993. The inspectors determined by observation that the barrier was installed and maintained as described in the Plan.
4.2 Protected Area Detection Aids l
l The inspectors observed the perimeter intrusion detection system (IDS) on November 8,1993, and determined that it was installed, maintained and
'
operated as committed to in the Plan. On November 9,1993, from 12:30 -
l 2:30 p.m., the inspector observed licensee testing of 15 zone sections of the i
