• Upgrading the firearms training: program to include, procurement of a-computerized firearms- target system 'and improvements to the:

~

range;

• Conducting expanded and formalized self-assessments.of the various aspects of the security program;  ;

• Mair.taining'an excellent security training programLfor the:

• Conducting annual crmtingency drills with off-site local law enforcement agencies;.

• Sending security supervision to other nuclear power plants toL evaluate other nuclear security. programs; and,

• Expanding nuclear operations personnel involvement in security-

The inspectors found these types'of upgrades to be indicative of'a high quality and performance oriented security program. Thel inspectors noted that security force members (SFMs) are, ;inTgeneral',

very knowledgeable of their post duties, contents of procedures'and

.

'

their.other responsibilities and exhibit a very professional demeanor. On-site. security managers and supervisors' appeared to be-effectively implementing a quality program and corporate support is-highly evident. Minor security concernsLidentified by the inspectors :

and prompt corrective actions were'taken as applicable. The inspectorsnoted,however,thatsomefof'thelicensee's' security:

systems are showing signs of. age as evidenced.by their marginal effectiveness. The SFMs are adequately compensating for_ these -

systems and~ equipment deficiencies but human performance has inherent weaknesses. In summary, the inspectors; determined that the-licensee-has 's good, strong security program that. is generally:very effectiv However, the effectiveness of the program could be further.: improved j by upgrading the aging systems and equipment.- Security program plans - Thefinspectors verified that changes to the licensee's Security, Contingency, and Guard Training and -
