-2-DOCUMENT CONTAINS E2iECUTIVE SUMMARY Grand Gulf Nuclear Station NRC Inspection Report No. 50-416/99-15 This was an announced inspection of the licensee's physical security program. The areas inspected included: personnel access control, access authorization, protected area detection e

aids, assessment aids, compensatory measures, protected area physical barriers, records and reports, and security program audits.

Plant Succort Vulnerabilities with the access control metal detectors and X-ray equipment were

-

identified. The licensee's corrective action for the metal detectors was prompt and efficient. The licensee was studying means to reduce the X-ray equipment vulnerability (Section S1.1).

{

The access authorization program was effectively implemented (Section S1.2).

-

During tests of the perimeter detection system, one detection zone was defeated, and

-

I vulnerabilities in several other zones were identified. Overall, the detection system was adequate (Section S2.1).

The assessment aids system provided adequate assessment of the perimeter detection

-

zones (Section S2.2).

The compensatory measures program met physical security plan requirements. The

-

security officers were well trained on program requirements (Section S2.3).

l A violation was identified involving a section of the vehicle barrier system that did not

-

conform to the requirements of Paragraph 4.2.7 of the physical security plan and 10 CFR l

73.55 (c)(7). This Severity Level IV violation is being treated as a noncited violation I

consistent with Appendix C of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The degraded barrier system was entered into the corrective action system as CR-GGN-1999-902 (Section S2.4).

A good records and reporting system was in place for reporting safeguards events

-

(Section S3.1).

Audits of the security, access authorization, and fitness-for-duty programs were effective,

-

thorough, and intrusive (Section S7.1).
