a.
(Closed) UNF 50-333/88-19-02 I
,
The inspectors reviewed Licensee Event Report 88-501-00, dated
July 12,1988, which dealt with a degradation of the intrusion detection I
- and access control systems. According to the report, on June 12, 1988, i
at 8:21 p.m., the licensee experienced significant protected area intrusion detection system (IDS) and access control degradation for a
. period of 35 minutes.
Security personnel, on-site at the start of i,
~
the event, provided compensatory action. All protected area intrusion
detection zones, protected area access points and vital area access points were affected.
However, no records could be found that documented either the time that compensatory actions were taken or what measures were actually implemented.
Security Procedure 5.1.4, Compensatory
.l l'
Measures, provided general guidance, but the specific compensatory
!
measures to be implemented were left to the discretion of the security shift supervisor.

Management Support, Security program Plans, and Audits Management Support - Management support for the licensee's physical a.
security program was determined to be adequate by the inspectors.
This determination was based upon the inspectors' reviews of various aspects of-the licensee's program during this inspection as documented in this report.
b.
Security Program ple_ns - The inspectors verified that. changes to the licensee's Security, Contingency, and Guard Training and Qualification Plans, as implemented, did not decrease the effectiveness of the respective plan, and had been submitted in accordance with NRC requi rements.
<
However, as noted during the previous security inspections, the inspectors found that several areas of the security, contingency, and
-. Training and Qualifications plans still contained out-dated information. The licensee was in the process of updating the plans, but it appears that the revision process is slow. The licensee's security management committed to looking into ways to expedite this process. This matter will be reviewed by Region I inspectors in
' subsequent inspections.
c.
Audits - The inspectors reviewed the 1987 and 1988 annual security program audit reports and verified that the audits had been conducted in accordance with the Security Plan (the Plan). The
.
audits were comprehensive in scope with the results reported to the
'
appropriate levels of management. The inspectors' review included the response'of the security organization to the audit findings and the corrective action taken to remedy any adverse findings. The documented corrective actions appeared appropriate for the findings.
4.
protected and Vital Area Physical Barriers, Detection and Assessment Aids a.
Protected Area Barriers - The inspectors conducted a physical inspection of the protected area (PA) barrier on July 11, 1989. The inspectors determined, by observation, that the barriers were installed and l
l maintained as describe 6 in the Plan.
