personnel for securing protected area portals. No questions arose in reference to expanded use of CCTV, or a change in the primary contingency response weapo However, clarification was needed on the increased use of unarmed security personnel for securing protected area portals. The clarifications required were discussed with the security staff (details are considered Safeguards Information and exempt from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 73.21). Results of the plan revision reviews will L be addressed in separate correspondenc ,

b. Observations and Findinas The inspector reviewed physical examination requirements, and other items, during review of nine security force training records. The physical security examination standards specifically stated that glaucoma was a disqualifying factor unless certain criteria was met. However, security personnel were not tested for glaucoma during the physical examination, and no tests conducted during the physical examination which would specifically indicate the presence of glaucoma. The unresolved item is: Does the licensee need to conduct tests for glaucoma when it is specficially identified as a potential disqualifying condition, even though there is no specific licensee commitment nor explicit regulatory requirement for the test? Resolution of this issue will be addressed by separate correspondence (URI 50-331/99006-01).

Weapon qualification and familiarization training for two security officers was observed at the onsite firing range. The personnel completing the course of fire attained a qualifying score, were familiar with the weapons being fired, and completed the course of fire in a safe manner. The range instructor conducted the weapon firing in a safe manne Conversely, soveral administrative deficiencies were noted to include:

Different minimum qualifying scores were identified in the Security Training and Qualification (T&Q) Plan for one qualification cours The Individual Qualification Record used to record completion of critical job tasks had stress fire certification included as part of the task, but the course of fire is not identified in the T&Q plan standards for weapon qualification.

'

The range instructor was not familiar with the time limit imposed for some of the stages of one weapon's stress course of fire observed at the firing range by the inspecto The procedure for the one stress course of fire required the weapon to be loaded and carried in the " port arm" position during the running part of the cours However, during the observed training, the weapons were unloaded and in one case carried in the sling position during the running part of the course of fir Two different courses of fire were addressed by procedure for the one stress fire cours The licensee security staff entered the noted deficiencies into their corrective action program. Actions to address the issue will be tracked and monitored under Action Request Form No.15433, dated June 10,199 Training records reviewed were complete and accurate and required training was completed within the specified time period ;

i S7 Quality Assurance in Security and Safeguards Activities 1 Inspection Scope (81700)

The inspector reviewed self-assessment evaluations conducted by security staff and other personnel (licensee and contractor).

Observations and Findinas  !

The security self-assessment effort was varied and well documented. Quality Assurance audits for the fourth quarter of 1998 ( No. O-00/1-98-04, dated January 14,1999) and first quarter of 1999 (No. O-04/1-99-01, dated April 26,1999) were reviewed. The audit ,

results were well documented. The fourth quarter 1998 audit report noted that problem identification and resolution was proactive, and Action Requests (AR's) were used appropriately to address and correct problems identified. The audit report also addressed evaluation of a large scale security force drill, security staffing levels and training and qualification. No significant deficiencies were noted. The first quarter 1999 QA audit report did not specifically address physical protection requirements identified in 10 CFR 73.5 Security procedure SD 1, "Self-Inspection Program," Revision 2, November 20,1995, describes the security section self-assessment program. Twelve completed Security Self-inspection Program Checklists addressing badges, communications, compensatory measures, duress alarms, gates, and other subjects were reviewed. Problems identified were monitored until resolved. During the inspector's observation of ingress into the protected area, the security staff conducted a drill involving attempted introduction of a prohibited item into the protected area. The item was detected and the security forces actions were prompt and appropriate. Such drills are conducted frequently and tracked and monitored by the security staf Conclusions Self-assessment efforts were varied and effective in identifying and resolving problem S8 Miscellaneous Security and Safeguard issues S8.1 (Closed) Insoection Followuo item (Recort No. 50-331/98018-02): Inaccurate and incomplete Access Authorization record for a contractor employee because the individual failed to disclose some criminal history information on his personnel security questionnaire. We have completed our review of this issue and have determined that
