Inspector Follow-up Item 84-10-01 remains open pending review of the site physical security plan and implementing procedures.
MC 81022 - Securit Or anization Mana ement The licensee has not yet identified all of the additional supervisory personnel to manage the expanded proprietary guard force when implemen-tation of the Unit 2 program is required.
One captain has been appointed and additional positions for four lieutenants and three sergeants have been approved.
The licensee anticipates that these positions will be filled in November 1985.
Inspector Follow-up Item 84-10-02 remains open pending finalization of staffing and subsequent NRC review.
MC 81026 - Securit Or anization Personnel The licensee stated that approximately 70 additional security personnel will be required to staff the combined Unit 1 and Unit 2 security force.
Approximately three-fourths of this number have been fully qualified and the remainder were scheduled to begin training on November 4, 1985.
By mid-December 1985, the licensee expects to have all the new guards fully trained and qualified.
Inspector Followup Item 84-10-03 remains open pending completion of training and subsequent NRC review.
MC 81038 - Records and Re orts The licensee stated that all records and reports are expected to be modi-fied to include the addition of Unit 2 security facilities and equipment by the end of December, 1985.
Inspector Follow-up Item 84-10-06 remains open pending completion of modifications and subsequent NRC review.
MC 81042 - Testin and Maintenance The licensee stated that the security equipment at Unit 2, with a few ex-ceptions (e.g.
high mast lighting), is compatable with the equipment cur-rently in use at Unit 1.
Therefore, maintenance procedures will require only minor changes and should be completed by the end of December 1985.
Administrative procedures are sufficiently encompassing to be applied without revision.
Inspector Follow-up Item 84-10-07 remains open pending revision of necessary procedures and subsequent NRC revie h
MC 81052 -
Ph sical Barriers Protected Area The physical barrier surrounding the protected area (PA) was examined by the inspector.

'Inspector Follow-up Item 84-10-17 remains open pending subsequent NRC review of procedures for vehicle access control.
NC 81501 - Trainin and gualification Plan The inspector reviewed the status of guard force training and qualifica-tions.
Although the existing training staff is sufficient to train the additional personnel needed for the combined Nine Mile Point Unit 1 and Unit 2 security force, the licensee stated that an additional training instructor has been hired and will complete the training and qualification program in December 1985.
By mid-December 1985, the combined Nine Mile Point security force will be at its desired strength level, according to the licensee.
As a result of IFI 84-10-22 which involved training in bomb search techniques, the licensee advised the inspector that all members of the construction guard force were trained in bomb search techniques.
Subse-quently, these guard force members have been converted to temporary

The licensee's Supervisor, Nuclear Security Clearances, informed the inspector that he had observed electricians in-spect the equipment right after the explosion and that the cause of the explosion appeared to have been an electrical fault.
A security guard was posted at the equipment until the manufacturer's representatives arrived on the scene to inspect the equipment.
The inspector also interviewed the Superintendent of Maintenance, who confirmed the suspicion that the ex-plosion was caused by an electrical faul L II l ll k
