Paulsen, Deputy Chief of Operations, Green Mountain Security U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission A. C. Cerne, Senior Resident Inspector The inspectors also interviewed other licensee employees and members of the Green Mountain contract security organizatio . Follow-up on Security Event Reports The inspectors conducted an in-office and onsite review of Security Event Report Numbers 86-08 through 86-15 and 87-01 through 87-10 that had been submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 73.71. These reviews were conducted to verify that adequate compensatory measures had been taken and that corrective measures to prevent recurrence had been properly

 ' implemented, where applicabl Thirteen of the events resulted from startup testing and calibration of new security equipment and the security computer and associated hardwar Four events resulted from the loss of station power when other plant j operational tests were being performed. To prevent recurrence, the ;

licensee is reviewing the feasibility of additional power source One event resulted from the discovery of a guard sleeping on post and appropriate corrective action was take The licensee's event reporting program was_found to be acceptable. Several reports, however, required clarification from the licensee because of insufficient data. Onsite review of the licensee security event reporting program by the inspectors found that each event was properly analyzed by the licensee and appro-priately documented. Close-out actions were readily available for review by the NR i F i
