2.0 PURPOSE OF INSPECTION

'

This inspection was performed to evaluate corrective actions for a previously identified weakness in personnel / package searches; to assess implementation of the Security and Contingency Plans and implementing procedures; to review the Fitness-for-Duty (FFD) Program; and the Effectiveness of Management Controls.

I 3.0 PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED ITEM (Closed)

IFI 50-272/94-16-01, 50-311/94-16-01 and 50-534/94-15-01:

During a previous safeguards inspection, during observation of access control functions during a peak period, an inspector observed a personnel search officer fail to respond to an individual who had

generated an alarm from a portal metal detector. A security supervisor who was overseeing access control activities recognized what the officer i

had allowed to occur, intervened and resolved the alarm. Another NRC inspector had noted one occasion during which the time dedicated to the search of packages appeared to be driven by the press of people awaiting

entrance into the protected area.

While no resulting inadequate

-

searches were identified, the potential for less than adequate package

.

3 i

searches to occur during high traffic periods was considered to be in need of further review. During this inspection, the inspectors observed the performance of search officers at random periods including periods of highest activity and noted that the officers were extremely thorough

,

in their duties. No instances of concern were noted throughout the

inspection period.

Based on the inspectors' observations, this item is closed.

,

4.0 SECURITY PLAN AND IMPLEMENTING PROCEDURES The inspectors reviewed the NRC-approved Security Plan (the Plan) and

implementing procedures for the Plan.

The review confirmed that changes to the plan have not decreased its effectiveness, the implementing procedures were adequate and appropriate to meet the general performance requirements of the Plan and that the Plan and implementing procedures were properly integrated with plant safety objectives.

!

5.0 CONTINGENCY PLAN IMPLEMENTATION REVIEW The inspectors reviewed the licensee's Contingency Plan and program for responding to security contingencies.

The review disclosed that Security Training personnel and shift supervision conduct over 100 contingency drills annually.

Each drill is critiqued and lessons

,

learned are incorporated into the security training program..The

inspectors also observed the annual Local Law Enforcement Agency (LLEA)/ Licensee participation contingency drill which had been scheduled and conducted during the week of this inspection.

Participation in the drill included a representative from the Lower Alloways Creek police department and 10 members of the New Jersey

Technical Emergency and Mission Specialists (TEAMS) team along with members of the licensee's armed response team. The drill evolved with i

the licensee's armed response team containing a group of armed

'

adversaries in a vital area. Once the adversaries were contained, LLEA

TEAMS along with licensee responders performed the search and clearing

,

duties in the area until the adversaries had been neutralized. At the conclusion of the driis, a critique was conducted with all drill participants.

The licensee's program for responding to security contingencies was found to be acceptable.

.

6.0 FFD PROGRAM The inspectors reviewed the audit of the FFD program (NQP94-0011)

i conducted February 7-14, 1994, held discussions with the Medical Review

'

Officer and the Medical Administrator and toured the medical facilities.

The inspectors also reviewed the licensee's program for conducting random FFD testing. No weaknesses were identified in the FFD program in the areas reviewed.

7.0 EFFECTIVENESS OF MANAGEMENT CONTROLS

!

The inspectors interviewed members of the licensee and contractor security staffs and reviewed personnel staffing procedures. The review included outage and non-outage manning requirements and control of.

overtime. The review disclosed that adequate personnel were available to man all required posts both during outage and non-outage situations

and that administrative controls were in place to assure appropriate

.

controls on the overtime worked by members of the security force.

Review of time sheets disclosed that overtime worked by individual members of the security force was within established guidelines.

.

The inspectors also conducted a walkdown inspection of the vital barriers between Hope Creek and the area that had initially been planned to become Hope Creek Unit 2.

Some of these barriers were designed as pass-through barriers. When the second Hope Creek unit was canceled, the pass-through barriers were sealed off. The walkdown inspection of the Hope Creek Unit disclosed that all vital area barriers were constructed in accordance with the Plan and applicable regulatory requirements.

8.0 EXIT MEETING The inspectors met with licensee representatives denoted in Section 1.0 of this report at the conclusion of the inspection on December 9,1994.

!

The inspectors summarized the purpose, scope and findings of the inspection which were acknowledged by licensee representatives.
