1.9 Protected Area Access Control of Personnel and Packaaes
!.
a.
Insoection Scope
. The inspector reviewed the access control program for personnel and packages into
.
'
the protected area to deteimine compliance with the physical security plan. (Note:
l it is not possible for vehicles to enter the protected area.)

,
b.
Observations and Findinas Upon e^ntering the industrial area, persons were issued a photo-identification
,
security key card which authorized access, as appropriate, to the industrial area and
'
the protected area. Persons not authorized a key card were escorted at a!! times within the industrial and protected areas. Prior to leaving the industrial arem all persons left their key card with the attending security officer.
j
.I The inspector determined through observations that personnel access to the l
'
protected area was effective'< controlled. The inspector verified that the licensee had a search program as v sitted to in the physical security plan for firearms, explosives, incendiary d
.., and other unauthorized materials. The fixed metal
'
du.ector and the explosivt. jetectoa at Security Door FB-308 were inspected and
'
tound to be functional and well maintained. The inspector verified that personnel
L
'
were properly identified and authorization was verified prior to the security officer
'
unlocking Security Docr FB-308 and providing access to the protected area. The inspector verified that the licensee maintained escort procedures for visitors
!
authcand access into the protected area.
l t
in adation to the protected area at the Spent Fuel Bu;lding, the licensee also maintained " security areas" throughout portions of the Turbine Building (industrial
area). Security areas included the control room (housing the security alarm console), and the communications room (housing the two security computers).
Personnel utilized their photo identification key card to access these security areas.
The inspector reviewed background investigation screening files for three individuals
'
authorized access to the industrial and protected areas. The licensee had l
contracted with Wackenhut locorporated to complete the required background
investigations. All screenirg files were accurate and complete.
i As an initiative, the licensee continued to submit the fingerprints for all persons requesting unescorted protected area access, to the California Department of
t Justice. The principle advantage of this system, is that once an employer (such as the licensee) registers a person with California Department of Justice, the employer
!
!
will be notified of any future reported criminal activities involving this person.
(Note: In accordance with 10 CFR 73.56, the licensee also submitted fingerprints
through the NRC to the Federal Bureau of investigation.)
$
c.
Conclusion A very good program for searching personnel and packages er:tering the protected area was maintained.
