The inspection was conducted by one senior physical security inspector, one senior resident inspector, and one resident inspector.

Cornerstone: Physical Security

• On February 25, 2002, the NRC imposed by Order, Interim Compensatory Measures to enhance physical security. The inspectors determined that, overall, the licensee appropriately incorporated the Interim Compensatory Measures into the site protective strategy and access authorization program; developed and implemented relevant procedures; ensured that the emergency plan could be implemented; and established and effectively coordinated interface agreements with offsite organizations.

• The inspectors identified an unresolved item related to the failure to evaluate the impact of a waterborne threat as specified in Item B.1.c of the Order. This item remains open pending review by the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (Section II.C.2).

• The inspectors identified an unresolved item regarding loss of microwave intrusion detection system zones as required by Item B.2.a.(1) of the Order. This item remains open pending review by the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (Section III.A.2).

• The inspectors identified an unresolved item related to the failure to harden a vital area structure as required by Item B.4.g of the Order. This item remains open pending review by the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (Section V.G.2).

• The inspectors identified an unresolved item relating to the failure to evaluate the consequences of hazardous material transportation as specified in Item B.5.c of the Order. This item remains open pending review by the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (Section VI.C.2).
