i Results: Nineteen open inspection findings identified in previous inspection reports were closed.' Several findings were identified during this inspection

,

which do not represent noncompliance with NRC regulations because of the pre-operational status of the security program. The more significant findings pertained to security alarm station operations. These findings need to be corrected or resolved prior to issuance of an operating license. The li ensee '

was found to be in compliance with NRC requirements for SNM control and account-ability except as noted below:

SNM Control and Accountability: Licensee procedural requirements pertaining

to acomplied not QA audit wit of SNM records and storage of SNM in a designated location were (Paragraph 4a of Report Details.) The licensee's immedi- )

ate actions were considered adequat l Discussions pertaining to security / plant safety issues were also conducted with licensee representatives. Six findings identified in previous inspection {

reports still need to be corrected or resolve i

(l') Was advised that significant programmatic weaknesses were noted which,if not corrected, would result in an unacceptable level of performance. The security program weaknesses included;

, inability of security alarm stations to perform their functions due to the number of alarms caused in the plant, failure to implement compensatory measures for inoperative equipment, and some required computer commands not being activated in the security computer. Additionally, the perimeter alarm system was inactivated for unknown reasons when testing was attempte The licensee was advised that demonstration of their capability to meet security plan commitments was not accomplished since partial implementation of the security system was initiated on March 24, 1984 (refer to paragraph 9 for related information).

Deficiencies pertaining)to alarm station operations need to be resolved. (483/84-17-01 (2) Was advised that the operable status of all alarm points need to be verified due to the automatic resets of the alarm system (refer to paragraph 7 d. for related information). ,

(3) Was advised that CAS/SAS operator training and certification needs to be completed (refer to paragraph 9 for related information). (483/84-17-02)

(4) Was advised that validation of completed screening and training of security badge holders would be necessary prior to issuance of a operating license (refer to paragraph 5.c. for related information). (483/84-17-03)

(5) Was advised that access control at the SAF was considered inadequate when observed on April 4,1984 (refer to paragraphs 6.b. and c. for related information). Deficiencies pertaining to turnstiles in the SAF need to be resolved. (483/84-17-04)

b. During the April 12, 1984, exit meeting, the licensee:

l (1) Acknowledged the inspector's comments pertaining to the SNM  !

Control and Accountability violation. The licensee's immediate actions resolved the inspector's concern (refer to paragraph 4a for related information).

(2) Was advised of test results for the perimeter and vital area *

door intrusion detection system (refer to paragraphs 7 and 8 l j

for related information). I i

(3) Was advised that excessive alarms still prevent the security alarm stations from performing their required function l (4) Committed to keep all equipment tested during this inspection  !

"on-line" within the security computer system, to maintain a :

record of maintenance performed on the tested equipment, and to i conduct tests and surveillance of the equipment as required by the security pla i i M l A ? $ ,5 [ND:$~

implementation of the temporary chang The QA supervisor committed to conduct an audit of SNM records prior to April 30, 1984. The licensee was advised that their corrective actions appeared adequate and no written response to the violation would be required. Followup inspection of the licensee's corrective actions will be reviewed during a future inspectio The inspector confirmed by observation and interviews that procedures had been established and appeared adequate to assure that the licensee d could control and account for SNM in their possession. An SNM custodian had been designated and the position responsibilities were clearly define Receipts and shipments of SNM appeared properly documented and required physical inventories were conducted. The latest inventory, conducted in March 1984, showed that 193 fuel i assemblies were present onsite and stored in the empty spent fuel j pool area. Two incore detectors (SN 824802and824801) and one  ;

fissien counter (SN X-8162) were present in the MID vault, and two '

post-accident detectors (SN 004 and 005) were present at the hPC The inspector also reviewed physical inventory results, fuel assembly history records, transfer number log, detector history records, and SNM inventory ledger. No deficiencies were note Fuel assemblies stored within the emptied spent fuel pool were covered with plywood and plastic covers to keep debris from entering the are Access to the Fuel Building and spent fuel pool has been controlled by the security force since nuclear fuel arrived onsite. Records of personnel who enter the spent fuel pool were maintained. The inspec-tor and a licensee re

the fuel assembly inventory results. Approximately 30 percent of the fuel assemblies were physical verified. No deficiencies were note . Security Program Audits (MC 81134B): The Quality Assurance audits of the security program appears to be thorough and well documented. The most recent audit of the security program was conducted on March 26-30, 1984 (Report AD5A8403B). The

audit addressed selected portions of the personnel screening records,  !

physical security plan, guard training and qualification, and followup on previous audit and NRC open items. Twelve findings were identified *

during the audit. Several of the findings pertained to administrative

, deficiencies and procedural guidance inadequacies. The most signifi-cant finding pertained to deficiencies in the contractor screening progra b. . Eight categories of deficiencies were noted in the finding pertaining

' to the contractor screening program. The deficiencies included such

-

items as; pre-signed clearance letters, lack of investigative agency signatures attesting to the accuracy of investigative results, lack i of followup where applicants' information differed from information

> developed by the investigative agency, objective evidence was lacking to show that one contractor's screening program had been reviewed and j

accepted, some criminal record checks were not completed, some re-quired training had completed, and some references had not

known the individual r more years. The inspectors concluded  !

that the delay in im ementad on of the personnel screening program {

and the massive number of personnel screened since January 1984 l

' directly contributed to the deficiencies noted by the QA auditor !

Adequate review of investigative results by licensee representatives should have identified the deficiencies.

, c. , Section 16.a. of inspection report 50-483/84-05 noted that "the

,

access control program is being implemented in a fragmented manner. , j Personnel photographed for a security badge may or may not have '

completed training and screening required by the security plan, j This process of implementation...will require verification of screen-  ;

ing and training requirements prior to fuel load and withdrawl of l
