(Closed) Inspection Follow-up Item (50-293/85-24-02): The licensee had three surveys conducted that included an analysis of vital areas. They were conducted by Globe Security, September 2, 1985; Stone and Webster, October 27, 1985 and J. C. Waal Engineering Co., February 26, 1988.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (50-293/86-37-04):
The procedures to provide effective compensatory measures for security system degradation have been upgraded and were found by the inspectors to be adequate and as committed to in the Plan and implementing procedures.
-
(Closed) Unresolved Item (50-293/87-50-03):
The licensee conducted an analysis of vital equipment and as a result established one additional vital area.
The inspectors reviewed the analysis and concurred with its findings.
(0 pen) Violations (50-293/87-30-01, 50-293/87-30-02 and 50-293/87-50-02):
These apparent violations identified degraded vital area barriers. The barriers have been repaired and the licensee's actions to prevent recurrence were reviewed by.the inspectors and found adequate.
These violations remain open pending an NRC decision regarding enforcement action.
5.
Security Flan and Implementing Procedures The inspectors met with licensee representatives and discussed the Plan.
As a result of these discussions, and a review of the Plan and its implementing procedures, the inspectors found that the implementing procedures adequately addressed the Plan's commitments.
In addition, all security personnel interviewed demonstrated familiarity with the
'
Plan, implementing procedures, and the NRC's security program performance objectives.
6.
Security Program Audit The inspectors reviewed the anr.ual security program audit report and verified that the audit had been conducted in accordance with the Plan.
The audit was comprehensive in scope and the results were reported to the appropriate levels of management.
The inspectors review included the response of the security organization to the audit findings and the corrective action taken to remedy any adverse findings.
The documented corrective actions appeared appropriate for the findings.
7.
Records and Reports The inspectors reviewed various security records, logs, and reports, including patrol logs, Central Alarm Station (CAS) logs, visitor control logs, and testing and maintenance records.
All records, logs and reports reviewed were complete and maintained as committed to in the Plan.

8.
Testing and Maintenance The inspectors reviewed testing and maintenance records and procedures.
The inspectors determined that the licensee had developed p'reventive maintenance (PM) procedures for installed security equipment that were approved by the ensite review committee in November and December, 1987. However, the inspectors could not assess the impact of the PM procedures on the security equipment because of the relatively short period of time in which they were in effect. The review of maintenance records disclosed that, at the time of the inspection, there were 69 open maintenance requests (MRs) for security equipment.
The average completion time for security MRs was approximately 7 days.
The inspectors noted that one inoperative pe qmeter intrusion detection zone had been awaiting maintenance for 7 days.
During that period of time, compensatory measures were being utilized on the zone. Security equipment maintenance will continue to be reviewed.during subsequent inspections.
9.
Locks, Keys, s.nd Combinatiens The inspectr,rs reviewed the installation, storage, rotation, and respective records for all locks, keys, and combinations and determined that the licensee was meeting the commitments in the Plan and its implementing procedures.
10.
Physical Barriers - Protected Area The inspectors conducted a physical inspection of the protected area barriers.
It was determined by observation that the barriers were installed and maintained as described in the Plan.
Progress on upgrading the barriers is addressed in Paragraph 3 of this report.
11.
Physical Barriers - Vital Areas The inspectors conducted a physical inspection of toe vital area barriers.

Lighting The inspectors observed lighting within the protected area. All areas appeared to be lighted in accordance with commitments in the Plan.
Progress on upgrading the lighting is addressed in Paragraph 3 of this report.
13.
Compensatory Measures The inspectors reviewed the licensee's use of compensatory measures and determined their use to be consistent with the commitments in the Plan.
As a result of the security program upgrades addressed in Paragrar5 3 of this report, the use of compensatory measures for degraded security equipment has been dramatically reduced.
Further reductions in the use of compensatory measures will occur as the upgrading projects are completed and the backlog of maintenance requests are reduced. The use of compensatory measures will be monitored during subsequent inspections.
14. Assessment Aids The inspectors reviewed the licensee's use of assessment aids and determined by observation that the assessment aids are installed, functioning and maintained as committed to in the Plan.
Progress on upgrading the assessment aids is addressed in Paragraph 3 of this report.
15. Access Control - Personnel and Packages The inspectors reviewed the access control procedures for personnel and packages and determined that they are consistent with commitments in the Plan.
This determination was made by observing personnel access processing during shift changes, visitor access processing, and by interviewing security personnel about package access procedures.
The status of upgrades in the access control points is addressed in Paragraph 3 of this report.
16. Access Control - Vehicles The inspectors reviewed the vehicle access control procedures and observed vehicle searches at the Main Vehicle Gate.
They determined that vehicle searches were being conducted consistent with commitments in the Plan.
However the inspectors observed that the device used to search the under-carriage of a vehicle is only marginally ef fective due to the length of its handle and on April 13, 1988 the attached light was inoperable.
The inspectors discussed this observation with the security supervisors on duty and they took immediate corrective actions.
17.
Detection Aids - Protected Area The inspectors observed penetration tests of approximately 25% of the licensee's intrusion detection system on April 13, 1953.
The remaining 75% was not tested during this inspection, however, previous test records

were reviewed and these indicated that they were operating as described in the-Plan and implementing procedures.
The status of upgrading the intrusion detection system is addressed in Paragraph 3 of this report.
18.
Detection Aids (Vital Area)
The inspectors observed the testing of intrusion detection aids in selected vital areas and determined that they were installed and functioning as committed to in the Plan, except for one that was immediately compensated for and reported for maintenance.

19. Alarm Stations The inspectors observed the operation of both the central alarm station (CAS) and the secondary alarm station (SAS) and found them to be as committed to in the Plan.
However, the inspectors noted that the operators were performing fire door alarm and health physics controlled area alarm monitoring functions that had the potential of directing the operators' attention f rom security related duties.

The inspectors also determined from a review of documentatica and interviews that liaison with local law enforcement agencies was being maintained and was current.
23.
Protection of Safeguards Information (SGI)
The inspectors reviewed the protection and handling procedures for SGI and determined that the licensee had completed a preliminary inspection of each office on-site that handled and stored, SGI.
The inspection results indicated that the SGI assigned to each office was accounted for and was being stored in accordance with established licensee procedures.
24.
