During an NRC inspection conducted April 27 through May 1,1998, a violation ofNRC requirements was identi6ed. In Accordance with the " General Statement ofPolicy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions, NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
License Condition 2.c(4) (Units 1 and 2) of the licensee's facility operating licenses requires, in part, that the licensee fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Commissiori ggoved physical security plan, including amendments made pursuant to the authority of 10 CFR 50.54(p) and 10 CFR 50.90.
Section 3.2.1.4 of the licensee's Industrial Security Plan requires. in part, that a computer controlled intrusion detection system provides an audible and visible alarm signal upon recognizing that an unauthorized access attempt is made using an invalid key card in a card reader.
Contrary to the above, on April 30,1998, the inspector determined that a computer
,
controlled intrusion detection svetem failed to provide an audible alarm signal upon recognizing an unauthorim', access attempt using an invalid key card in a card reader.
Speedically, an attempt e unlock card reader door No. 502 with an invalid key card provided only a visible alarm signal.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement III) (50-313;-368/9814-01)

Resoonse to Notice Of Wlation 50-313:.368/9814-01 (1) Reason for the violation:
,
The original design and construction of the computer controlled intrusion detection system provided visual indication on the alarm screen directly in front of the alarm station operator. It cannot be determined from dommentation or personnel interviews if the original features also included an audibh arm signal. During early to mid 1980's the central and secondary alarm station computers were upgraded and badge transactions were moved from the alarm screen to a logging screen which did not provide an audible alarm signal for the ' trusion detection alarm.
m I
The ANO Industrial Security Plan (ISP) contains two sections which describe the intrusion detection alarm differently. One section (3.2.1.4) speci6cally states that a computer controlled intrusion detection system provides an audible and visible alarm signal upon recognition that an unauthorized access attempt is made using an invalid key card in a card reader. Another section (5.2.5.1.7) states if authorized conditions are not met (e.g. an unauthorized card [ID Badge) is presented to the card reader), a status message will be generated, displayed, and printed out by a computerized system so that appropriate action can be taken. This ISP section does not describe an audible alarm signal for the unauthorized access attempt.
It is not clear if the audible alarm signal for badge transactions ever existed or whether it was removed during computer upgrades that occurred during the early to mid 1980's with the appropriate sections of the ISP not being changed accordingly.
Therefore, the reason the intrusion detection system was not equipped with an audible alarm signalis indeterminate.
(2) Corrective stens that have been taken and the results achieved:
Alarm station operators were made aware of the deficient audible signal oa the intrusion detection system to increase their sensitivity to the logging screen where badge transactions are recorded.
Other ISP required security computer alaan parameters were tested and verified to be l
correct.

(3) Corrective =taan that will be takan to avoid further vi.olations:
An audible alarm signal will be added to the intrusion detection system by July 30, 1998.
(4) Date when full camnlimaca will be achieved:
Full compliance will be achieved by July 30,1998, when an audible alarm signal will be added to the intrusion detection system.
