Scope:
This routine, announced inspection was conducted in the areas of the Physical
Security Program for Power Reactors, specifically: Management Support,
-
!
Security Program Plans and Audits; Physical Barriers - Protected and Vital Areas; Access Control - Personnel, Packages and Vehicles; Assessment;
Compensatory Heasures; and Alarm Stations and Communications.
Results:.
-w.
y.
3.
In the areas inspected, a non-cited violation was identified.
Inspection
!
results confirmed that the security force continues to perform at an i
acceptable level and is capable of providing adequate protection for vital resources and safety related equipment.
Security force management and personnel performance were notable.
.
A licensee identified and reported Safeguards Event, LER 93-S02, relating to a i
'
failure to provide required compensatory measures in response to a security computer system failure was confirmed. Review and discussion with security
.
l management personnel verified that the licensee had implemented adequate corrective action. The violation will not be subject to enforcement action
.
because the licensee's efforts in identifying and correcting the violation i
meet the criteria specified in Section VII.B. of the Enforcement Policy.

Assessment
The licensee's established program for assessing intrusion alarms j
emanating from the protected area perimeter and vital areas was reviewed to confirm adherence to regulatory requirements and
,
commitments contained in Sections 3 and 5 of the approved PSP, Revision 39, dated December 2, 1993.
j
,
j Observation and discussion with security shift personnel confirmed i
that response to alarms emanating from vital area portals was j
accomplished by armed response personnel.

'
licensee had provided dedicated support for maintaining the CCTV i
system and other security equipment in an operable condition.
Instrument and Calibration (I&C) Technicians were observed
,
i performing maintenance and adjustments on the CCTV equipment
!
during the period of the inspection. No deficiencies in the j
assessment capability for the protected area perimeter and alarms i
enamating from vital areas were identified.
!
j Based on observation of security operational activities, tours of
the protected area and selected vital areas, and evaluation of assessment capability in the CAS and SAS, it was concluded that
.
'
the security force's ability to assess and respond to attempted penetration of the protected and vital areas was adequate and in
.
compliance with regulatory requirements and commitments of the licensee'sp ? proved PSP.

n ;.
l There were no violations of regulatory requirements noted in this area.
e.=
. Compensatory Measures The licensee's established program for providing compensatory measures for non-operable or degraded security systems and equipment was reviewed and evaluated to verify compliance with the commitments contained in Sections 3 and 8 of the licensee approved PSP.

and non-operable recurity systems and equipment and other l
unscheduled events and contingencies.
Planned and employed compensatory measures included use of replacement equipment as available, posted security officers and patrols. Security personnel were observed performing compensatory duties for degraded barriers and access control equipment during regular and r
non-regular hours on several occasions throughout the course of
i the inspection. Specific requirements for compensatory and j
temporary posts were well defined in Security Force Instruct %n No. 7, Compensatory and Temporary Posts, Revision 12, dated
/
December 16, 1993.
Observation and discussion with security personnel performing
i compensatory duties confirmed that the personnel were l
appropriately equipped and demonstrated an acceptable level of j
knowledge of procedural requirements and assigned i
responsibilities.
.
Based on observation and discussion with security force personnel
!
during the course of the inspection, it was concluded that the licensee's established program to compensate for degraded and
nonoperational security systems and equipment was in compliance

l with regulatory requirements and licensee comitments in the l
approved PSP.
There were no violations of regulatory requirements noted in this j
area.

f.
Security Alarm Stations and Comunications t
l The licensee's established security alarm stations and security communications net were observed and monitored during regular and
i non-regular hours to verify compliance with regulatory
'
requirements and commitments contained in sections 6 and 7 of the
.
approved PSP.

Review of security operational activities in the CAS and SAS and i
.
monitoring of security communications during the course of the
inspection confirmed that the alarm stations were equipped in j
accordance with commitments contained in the PSP, and were capable
-- -of communicating and effectively controlling the security force
during routine and contingency operations. Alarm station operators were observed to be adequately trained and capable of
effective utilization of access control, intasion detection, monitoring and communications equipment available in the alarm i
stations. The ability to communicate with on-site security forces
'
and St. Lucie County Sheriffs Department via radio was demonstrated during regular and non-regular hours.
It was noted that the CAS and SAS were independent and diverse to the extent
'
that no single act could remove the capability of the security
'
force to call for assistance or otherwise respond to a threat.
There were no operational activities observed in the alarm

stations that would interfere with the execution of response to
.
alarms or other contingencies.
Intrusion detection and tamper
'
indicating alarms annunciated audibly and visually in both alarm
stations. The dedicated security Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) provided backup power for the offsite AC power source
'
routinely utilized. The alarm stations were continually manned i
by capable and knowledgeable alarm station operators.
Review of Safeguards Event logs and discussion with security management and I&C supervisory personnel revealed that the security computer system had failed on five occasions since
January 1, 1994. As of the end date of the inspection, the cause
,
j of the failures had not been identified. Licensee personnel stated that the cause of the failures were believed to be a result of a heretofore unknown problem in the system software, although
-
'
not confirmed. Extensive effort was ongoing to identify and correct the cause of the computer failures.
Review of security logs and related documentation cc.. firmed that appropriate
,
compensatory measures had been implemented within the required time in each instance of system.ailure. Resolution of the problem associated with the computer system failures will be the j
subject of further review during subsequent inspections.
Based on demonstrated operability of alarm station access control,
i intrusion detection, monitoring and communications equipment,
'
functional capabilities of alarm station operators and available procedural guidance, the inspector concluded that with the exception of the security computer system failures referenced herein, the licensee's alarm station functions and communications systems were effective and adequate to meet regulatory requirements and comu.!tments of the licensees' approved PSP and Implementing Proceduren There were no violations of regulatory requirements noted in this area.

The inspector described the= areas inspected and discussed in detail the inspection results listed below.
Proprietary information, is not contained in this report.
The licensee was informed that an apparent violation of regulatory requirements relating to the failure to provide required compensatory ~
measures during a failure of the security computer system, identified and reported by the licensee, was confirmed. The licensee was further informed that the inspection findings would be subject to review by
'
Region II management personnel for determination of appropriate categorization of the violation. The continued failure: of the security computer system, 5 of which had occurred since January 1,1994, and the i
inability to determine the cause of the failures was noted. The Site Vice President acknowledged awareness of the problems be:ng experienced
