during an outage in the summer of 1989. The outage personnel granted access to the plant did not support the security program despite the efforts of the licensee management. The outage personnel left VA doors open, left designated

vehicles unsecured, failed to turn in badges prior to exiting the PA, and f ailed to wear their badges inside the PA.

Prior to the end of the outage, the licensee was unable to adequately enforce their security requirements on the outage personnel.

The licensee should consider how to minimize these problems when preparing for the March / April 1990 outage.

!

The apparent Safeguards Information violation was the result of a lack of J

support for the corporate security department by corporate management staff at Columbus. The site Safeguards Information protection program was apparently adequate.
