2.0 Followun of Previously Identified Insnector Followun Items (IFIs) 2.1 (Closed) IFI 50-277/92-20-01; 50-278/92-20-01: During the previous inspection, the inspectors determined that lighting was marginal in seveml places within the protected area (PA) and questioned the effectiveness of the licensee's security patrols for not identifying those conditions and the control of maintenance projects that may have created some of those conditions.
During this inspection, the inspector determined by cb.ervation, review and discussions that the licensee has revised its security force training Lesson Plans; Post Orders; Training and Qualification tasks; and Surveillance Tests for lighting inspections. These documents now provide specific details and examples of degraded conditions that the security force members (SFMs) should be aware of when conducting routine patrols of the PA and isolation zone. All SFMs received formal training in the new material (and previously existing material) in the revised documents. The licensee also provided written instructions to all first line , supervisors for dissemination to their work groups, regarding the security lighting requirements for the PA that is to be maintained during and after the performance of any maintenance work in the PA. The inspector found these actions to be adequate to resolve these matters.
Additionally, the inspector conducted a lighting survey in the PA and isolation zones on March 24, 1993, during the hours of darkness and found that the lighting conditions met NRC requirements.
This item is closed.
> 2.2 (Closed) IFI 50-277/92-20-02; 50-278/92-20-02: During the previous inspection, , the inspectors found a potential weakness in the licensee's process for revalidating the vital area (VA) authorized unescorted access list.
During this inspection, the inspector determined through discussions with the licensee and a review of the revalidation Procedure No. RT-S-0545-930-2 that the procedure was revised on February 16,1993, to reflect current practices and to include an independent review of the revalidation changes entered into the computer to ensure their accuracy. The inspector found the actions taken by the
licensee to be adequate. This item is closed.
3.0 Review of Fitness-for-Duty (FFD) Information
In a November 17,1992, letter, the licensee responded to questions asked by the NRC , concerning a situation wherein an individual had violated the licensee's FFD policies.
During this inspection, the inspector reviewed records and interviewed personnel to verify the information provided by the licensee and determine the adequacy of certain
aspects of the FFD program.
l
_ !
i Based on that review, the inspector determined that the licensee had generally lundled I the situation in accordance with policies and procedures governing its FFD program, that the information provided to the NRC was correct and that the licensee's FFD program ' met the NRC requirements in the areas reviewed. However, a potential weakness was identified by the inspector in the licensee's FFD followup testing procedures.
The guidance provided for implementing the followup drug testing program for individuals in rehabilitation was not sufficiently clear to ensure that the testing would be accomplished at the prescribed frequency. In the situation reviewed, three tests were not , conducted as prescribed because the individual was not available and was therefore, l excused from testing for that particular period. For individuals in a followup testing program, the licensee must ensure that absences from the workplace do not prevent an individual from being tested at the minimum frequency prescribed. The licensee agreed to review this area and take appropriate actions.
The inspector also discussed the employee assistance program (EAP) with the FFD program manager and EAP Supervisor. Based on those discussions, the inspector ' determined that some perception problerns existed among employees about the EAP prior to 1992. The perceptions, according to the licensee, were that: (1) employees who sought help from the EAP were not good people; (2) it was generally known when an employee participate 1 in the EAP program; and (3) the EAP was considered punitive.
When these perceptians came to light, the licensee made several noteworthy EAP program changes. Tl e EAP appeared much improved over what existed previously.
i 4.0 Management Support Management support for the licensee's physical security program was determined to be consistent with program needs. This determination was based upon the inspector's review of various aspects of the licensee's program during this inspection, as documented ) in this report.
Since the last physical security inspection, which was documented in NRC Inspection l Report Nos. 50-277/92-20 and 50-278/92-20, the licensee continued to upgrade the security program as described below: designed and installed a new automated 31-day VA revalidation computer
software system, i e installed four new 17-inch closed-circuit television (CCTV) monitors, and a new computer terminal in the Secondary Alarm Station (SAS); i installed a new video camera and video printer in SAS to enhance CCTV
assessment capability; installed new video tape recorders in the Central Alarm Station (CAS) and SAS; j

.
completed the final phase of the perimeter intrusion detection equipment upgrade;
and purchased two new four wheel drive patrol vehicles.
e Based on the inspector's review of the security program and the efforts being made to . upgrade and enhance it, the inspector determined that the program is continuing to receive appropriate management attention and support.
5.0 Protected and Vital Area Physical Barriers. Detection and Assessment Aids 5.1 PA Barrier ! The inspector conducted a physical inspection of the PA barrier on March 22 and 23,1993. The inspector determined by observation that the barrier was installed and maintained as described in the NRC-approved physical security plan (the Plan).
5.2 PA Intrusion Detection Aids The inspector observed the licensee perform the weekly surveillance test (ST) of the perimeter intrusion detection aids on March 23 and 24,1993, and determined that they were installed, maintained, and operated as committed to in the Plan.
