,
These violations are interdependent and the corrective measures are overlapping. They are as follows:
The licensee has formed a Quality Improvement Team (QIT) which has found that the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was generating and storing too
,
much Safeguards Information (SGI); that the number of SGI custodians was
'
too high; and that there were too many SGI containers. Subsequently these items have been reduced in number. The QIT is expected to_have its recommendations and evaluations completed by September 1993, and will provide a copy of this report to the NRC.
Physical Security Instruction (Physi) 34, Protection of Safeguards Information, Revision 2, dated January 6,1993, was implemented on
.
'
January 9, 1993. The revision to this procedures permits only the security department to establish SGI containers, these containers must i
be conspicuously identified. Only SGI containers will be secured with Sargent and Green (S&G) combination ~ locks which must be procured by the security department through purchasing.
,
'
The corporate SGI custodians have been retrained, and the facilities maintenance personnel responsible for moving SGI containers have been
'
advised that locked containers are not to be moved until they are inventoried by the security department.
,
,
l
'
<.
A letter dated January 7, 1993, was issued to the SGI custodians emphasing the use of SGI signs and accountability logs.
These have been incorporated into the latest revision of Physi-34. The custodians were provided training. The security department verifies compliance in this matter monthly.
The SGI access list has been reviewed and cross checked with the Sequoyah access list to ensure proper SGI access. The Site Quality Organization continues its audits.
A letter dated December 14, 1992, has been issued to the site security supervisors concerning the correct method of logging security events.
Physi-26, Reporting Safeguards Information, Revision 20, dated January 6, 1993, was implemented on January 19, 1993. This revision requires that security event investigations contain the following:
The extent of the correction and a search for previous similar events, and requires that one member of the Security Event Team be trained in root cause analysis methods, and that the corrective actions of each event be formally tracked.
A trend analysis of security events will be performed to identify adverse trends and corrective measures will be initiated if needed.
The licensee is developing a reporting flow chart for to be included in this procedure.
Business Practice, BP108, Processing Employees In and Out of Nuclear Power, Revision 4, dated March 26, 1993, was changed to ensure that management controls were established to ensure that the access list is periodically reviewed and updated. This was implemented by March 31, 1993.
Two additional problems occurred relevant to the protection of SGI since the issuance of the violation but prior to the completion of the licensee's corrective measures. Accordingly, they will be considered additional examples of the issued violation.
Log entry No. 43, dated February 2,1993, deals with an officer removing the markings from his post paperwork.
Control of the information was in place at all times.
The officer was retrained and disciplined.
Log entry No. 77, dated February 18, 1993, deals with a lost SGI drawing.
It was found shortly after its loss, where it had blown into a pipe in a construction area
