. The proprietary Security Shift Supervisors' training crogram does not appear to be effective as indicated by the continuing problems being experience There appears to be a general lack of basic supervisory and nuclear security skills within the contractor's security force supervisory staf Mr. Kane expressed Region I's concern relative to short-term corrective actions and asked Mr. Smith to discuss actions that the licensee proposed to take. Mr. Smith was not prepared to discuss short-term corrective actions and asked for a two week extension to prepare a presentation which would address that subject. Mr. Smith did discuss long-term corrective actions which included: 1) hiring a new proprietary security speciTlist to eventually being trained to Assume command of the PECO security organization; 2) reconsideration of the current security force contractor; 3) developing and implementing a new security force training program; and 4) providing more effective manage-ment oversight of the security force contracto Conclusion of Meeting Mr. Allan concluded the meeting by requesting the following: Assurance in writing from the licensee that the station is presently in compliance with the general performance objectives of 10 CFR 73.55(a) and, also in writing the licensee's short-term plans to address the issues dis-cussed at this meeting, Another Management Meeting, to be held in the near future, at which time the licensee will be expected to present its short term plans and their anticipated results, as well as to provide a status on implementation of long term plan Mr. Smith agreed to Mr. Allan's requests.
