T. Todd, Compliance Engineer J. Stair, NRC Senior Resident Inspector The inspector also interviewed other licensee personnel and members of the contract and proprietary guard force.
~Exit interview held at PP&L Corporate offices on August 13, 1986 MC 30703 Exit Interview The inspector met with licensee representatives indicated in Paragraph
at the conclusion of the inspection on August 14, 1986.
The purpose and scope of the inspection were reviewed and the findings were presented.
No written material was provided to the licensee during the inspection.
MC 81018 Securit Procedures The licensee stated that the Plant Operating Review Committee (PORC)
no longer reviews the security department instructions that deal exclusively with the duties and responsibilities of guards and watchpersons.
The inspector determined that those instructions are controlled by the Super-visor of Security and that the instructions are routinely changed to meet daily contingencies and operations.
The inspector reviewed the intent of the instructions and sampled several of them.
The inspector concluded that those instructions were not of a nature that would impact plant safety and concurred with the licensee's action.
The inspector verified that procedures which implement the security program plans and are related to plant operational matters, both on and off-site, are still required to undergo review and approval by the PORC prior to implementation.
MC 81020 Mana ement Effectiveness During this inspection, the inspector discussed, with the licensee, some
=of the generic findings from the NRC Regulatory Effectiveness Review pro-gram currently underway so that the licensee could benefit from the find-ings at facilities already reviewed.
The licensee's representatives stated that they would consider those findings during the implementation of the Susquehanna security progra.
MC 81034 - Securit Pro ram Audit By a review of records and interviews with guality Assurance auditors, the inspector determined that the licensee conducts selected surveillance on implementation of procedures for calibrating perimeter intrusion detection devices, assessment aids and portal alarms.
One such surveillance identif-ied a discrepancy relative to the actions taken by the security force when a vital area door, that is also a fire door, became inoperable.
The lic-ensee determined that a modification to the door testing schedule was needed to ensure that a fire watch is posted when a fire door is determined to be inoperable.
In response to an inquiry by the, inspector, the licensee stated that dur-ing the month of October, 1986, the guality Assurance auditors are sche-duled to conduct a surveillance of maintenance on security related equip-ment and that the results of their surveillance will be on file for NRC review, The licensee added that, to enhance the security program audit function, members of the security force are periodically selected to con-duct audits of portions of the security program.
The security force member is required to submit a written report of his/her findings and the responsible supervisor is required to take the appropriate corrective action.
The inspector verified that prompt corrective action was being taken on deficiencies identified in these audit reports.

MC 81042 Testin and Maintenance The inspector conducted a selective review of maintenance procedures and records and determined that the program assures that security related equipment is properly maintained to meet the required performance ob-jectives.
Corrective maintenance is generally conducted in a timely manner.
The maintenance of security program related equipment is subject to periodic quality assurance audits and survei llances to determine com-pliance with maintenance procedures and equipment specifications.
No discrepancies were identified in program implementation.
7.
MC 81062 Li htin The inspector conducted a tour of the protected area during the hours of darkness on August 13, 1986 and observed that the lighting met the NRC-approved physical security plan and was adequate for its intended purpose.
MC 81066 Assessment Aids The inspector observed the use of assessment aids from within the Secondary Alarm Station during the hours of darkness.
The use of these aids con-formed to the security plan and were adequate for their intended functio v ~BI,~

MC 92706 Inde endent Ins ection Effort During this inspection, the inspector reviewed the licensee's program for conducting psychological evaluations of prospective employees who would be assigned to or have duties at or associated with the Susquehanna faci-lity (i.e., those requiring security clearance).
The inspector determined that the program is implemented through two Nuclear Department procedures, NDI 10.3.2,
"Medical and Psychological Standards
- Susquehanna SES" and NDI 10,3.7,
"Personnel Medical/Psychological Administrative Processing."
The inspector reviewed these procedures and found that their purpose was to established a systematic program for processing of current and prospec-tive employees and for conducting periodic re-evaluations of all employees who require a security clearance.
The inspector found that the process consisted of the following key elements:
Requirements for initial scheduling and periodic'rescheduling of evaluations Type of evaluation to be administered (Minnesota Multiphasic Persona-lity Inventory MMPI or a professionally recognized equivalent)
Provisions for additional evaluations for cause (clinical interview and other testing)
Graded evaluation criteria based upon job classification/position Suitability determinations based upon established criteria Retest/re-examination and appeal policy and procedures The inspector interviewed the Director-Corporate Security and a psycho-logist currently under contract to the licensee to determine their fami-liarity with the program and their degree of confidence in the validity of the program based upon experience to date.
Both individuals appeared to be very fami liar with the program, indicating their active involvement in its implementation, and expressed a high degree of confidence in its validity.
The Director-Corporate Security stated that other indicators of suitability for employment, e.g.
background investigation, medical examina-tion, reference checks etc.,
are used to supplement the psychological evaluations for prospective employees.
Additionally, existing employees are also investigated/examined anytime conditions warrant.
Based on the foregoing, the inspector determined that the licensee's pro-gram, as established, conformed to the guidelines of NUREG/CR 2075,
"Standards For Psychological Assessment of Nuclear Facility Personnel" (July 1981)
and met the commitments contained in the licensee's NRC-approved security plans.
