1 Based upon the inspector's review of the security program and the efforts being !

made to upgrade and enhance it, the insper determined that the program was ;

continuing to receive proper management attention and suppor j 2.2 Audits  !

!

The inspector reviewed the report of the licensee's 1993 Nuclear Quality 1 Assurance Audit of the security program, audit number BV-C-93-12, conducted i March 4 - May 19,1993. The audit was very comprehensive in scope and the l i

results were reported to the appropriate level of management. There were no l

adverse findings. Four minor deficiencies were identified; none were indicative

'

of programmatic problems. Appropriate and timely actions were taken to correct the The inspector also reviewed the report of the Nuclear Quality Assurance Audit of the licensee's fitness-for-duty (FFD) progra The FFD Audit, NG3DSA0922, was conducted July 9 - October 14,1992. The 1992 FFD audit i identified two minor non-programmatic deficiencies, which had been correcte The annual audit of the FFD program for 1993 was in progress during this I inspectio In addition to reviewing the FFD audit report, the inspector reviewed the actions taken by the licensee for persons who tested positive on a FFD test in the six month period prior to the inspection. During that period, three persons tested

,

positive, one for alcohol and two for drugs. The inspector interviewed medical and human resources personnel and reviewed the licensee's FFD program manual and procedures. The inspector determined that all three of the persons who had tested positive were processed in accordance with the licensee's FFD procedures and applicable regulatory requirement .3 Security Program Plans The inspector verified that the changes to the licensce's Security and Guard Training and Qualification Plans, as implemented, did not decrease the effectiveness of the respective plans, and had been submitted in accordance with NRC requirement <

!

l The inspector observed the PA perimeter assessment aids and determined that

they were installed and operated as committed to in the Plan. The inspector noted l that the video images on the monitors in bo$ alarm stations were improved since ,

the last inspectio The improved images resulted from recent, focused l

l maintenance on the assessment syste .4 Vital Area (VA) Barriers and Detection Aids

\

The inspector conducted a physical inspection of VA barriers and detection aids on August 11, 1993, and determined by observation that the barriers were installed and maintained as committed to in the Pla No deficiencies were noted in the licensee's protected and vital area physical barriers, detection and assessment aids.

interviewed members of the security force and licensee's security staff and reviewed the personnel access procedure I 4.1.2 The inspector determined, by observation, that individuals in the PA and VAs display their badges as require !

4.1.3 The inspec;or verified that the licensee has escort procedures for visitors l into the PA and VA !

4.1.4 The inspector reviewed the licensee's program for granting or denying unescorted access to the PA. As part of the review the inspector examined the cases where unescorted access had been denied during the last outage. The inspector determined that each case was processed in accordance with applicable NRC regulatory requirements and Regulatory l Guide 5.66, " Access Authorization Program for Nuclear Power Plants." l The commitment to follow the Regulatory Guide has been incorporated into the licensee's NRC-approved security pla .2 Packane and Material Control

!

l The inspector determined that the licensee was exercising positive control over j

!

packages and materials that are brought into the PA through the main and j secondary access ponals. The inspector reviewed the package and material  !

control procedures and found that they were consistent with commitments in the Plan. The inspector also observed package and material processing and interviewed members of the security force and the licensee's security staff about package and material control procedure .3 Vehicle Access Control i

i l '1he inspector determined that the licensee properly controls vehicle access to and

within the PA. The inspectors verified that vehicles are properly authorized prior l to being allowed to enter the PA. Identification is verified by the Security Officer at the main vehicle access porta The procedure is consistent with the commitments in the Plan.

l Alarm Stations and Communications The inspector observed the operations of the Central Alarm Station (CAS) and the Secondary Alarm Station (SAS) and determined that they were maintained and operated l

as committed to in the Plan. CAS and SAS operators were interviewed by the inspector j aad found to be knowledgeaSle of their duties and responsibilities. No deficiencies were note The inspector verified that the CAS and SAS operators do not perform any operational activities that would interfere with the assessment and response functions. The inspector verified that the licensee has communications with local law enforcement agencies as '

committed to in the Plan. No deficiencies were note .0 Testine. Maintenance and Compensatory Measures The inspector reviewed testing and maintenance records and confirmed that the records committed to in the Plan were on file and readily available for licensee and NRC revie The station provides instnimentation and controls technicians to repair, replace and test

! security equipment which requires corrective maintenance. A review of maintenance records indicated that malfunctioning equipment that required compensatory measures l

mvolving security force members (SFMs) was corrected in a timely manner.

t I

l During the previous physical security inspection in September 1992 (50-334/92-21 and l 50-412/92-21) the inspectors noted that maintenance on equipment that did not require compensatory measures by SFMs was backlogged to about 200 requests. The licensee comr.iitted to explore ways to reduce this backlog and keep it under better contro During this inspection, the inspector noted that maintenance on equipment that did not require compensatory measures was being controlled better than it had been in the pas The backlog on non-emergency, non-compensatory maintenance was reduced to about ;

85 since the last inspection. The majority of the remaining work orders do not appear l to significantly affect program implementation. Therefore, Inspector Followup Item (IFI)

l 50-334/412-92-21-01 is closed.

'

The inspector observed four members of the security organization qualify on a recently adopted course of fire using the new handguns. The new course of fire is much more challenging than the one previously used. The SFMs displayed excellent familiarity and proficiency with the new weapons. The weapons transition was well-planned and was

,

accomplished with only a few minor problem j i
