-2-EXECUTIVE SUMMARY South Texas Project Electric Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 NRC Inspection Report 50-498/98-12; 50-499/98-12 l
This was an announced inspection of the licensee's physical security program. The areas )
inspected included: alarm stations; security equipment; compensatory measures; security J system power supply; vital area barriers and detection aids; and security event log Plant Su.Joort
- Alarm station operators were alert and well trained. Effective vital area barriers and detection systems were in place that would provide delay and detection to individuals
]
attempting unauthorized entry. Compensatory measures were deployed in a manner consistent with the requirements of the security plan. A good security backup power !
supply system was in place. A very good program for reporting security events was in j place (Sections S1.1, S2.2, S2.3, S2.4, S3.1). 1
- A noncited violation of the security plan was identified involving the failure to immediately deactivate an individuals security badge through the security computer to
,
prevent the individual from gaining re-entry to the protected area after he was removed I
for cause (Section S3.1).
- Security equipment lockers positioned inside plant buildings could be easily relocated within the buildings without the knowledge of the security department (Section S2.1),

The alarm stations were inspected to determine compliance with the requirements of the security plan. The areas inspected included the requirements and capabilities of the i alarm stations, redundancy and diversity of stations, protection of the alarm stations, l and systems securit Observations and Findinas The inspector verified the' redundancy and diversity of tl+ alarm stations. Action by one alarm station operator could not reduce the effectiveness of the security systems without the knowledge of the other alarm station operatcrs. The central alarm station and secondary alarm station were bullet resistant. The inspector questioned the station operators and determined that they were properly trained and knowledgeable of their dutie Conclusions The security alarm stations were redundant and well protected. Alarm station operators were alert and well traine S2 Security Facilities and Equipment l

-4-The NRC senior resident inspector identified that while each metal storage locker was secured with an adequate lock, the cabinet was light enough that a single individual could move the cabinets to another location within the buildings. In this event, the security officers would not know the location of the lockers and the security equipment inside the cabinets would be unava!!able to responding armed response officer During the exit meeting on December 10,1998, the inspector discussed the matter of '
the security equipment lockers. The licensee stated that this matter was being reviewed and that Condition Report No. 98-18221 had been initiated to determine the feasibility of possibly permanently affixing the equipment lockers to the wall or floo The licensee's use of portable security equipment lockers is considered to be an inspection followup item to be reviewed during a future security inspection (IFl 398;-399/9816-01).
l ' Conclusions -
Security equipment lockers positioned inside plant buildings could be easily relocated within the buildings without the knowledge of the security departmen S2.2 Vital Area Barriers and Detection Aids Inspection Scope (71750 and 81700)
+ The inspector observed the licensee's vital area barriers and detection aids to determine compliance with the requirements of the physical security pla , Observations and Findinos l
The inspector determined through observation and testing that the vital areas were appropriately locked and alarmed and that the vital area barriers were adequate to ensure delay of a potential adversary. The inspector's random observations determined that unescorted access into vital areas was limited to authorized personnel. The alarms ennunciated in continuously manned alarm stations. Emergency exits from vital areas were locked and alarmed. Upon entering and exiting vital areas, plant employees made ,
a concerted effort to ensure that the vital area door was properly secure ;
The inspector observed the licensee test the vital area door locking mechanisms and detection aids. All tests were properly conducted and all attempts to intrude into the vital areas were detected. The licensee's tests of the vital area detection system were performance based to ensure that system failures were discovered and correcte Conclusions Effective vital area barriers and detection systems were in place that would provide delay and detection to individuals attempting unauthorized entr '

-5-S2.3 Compensatory Measures Inspection Scope (81700)
The inspector reviewed the licensee's compensatory measures program to determine compliance with the requirements of the security plan. The areas inspected included deployment of compensatory measures and the effectiveness of those measure Observations and Findinas The inspector confirmed that the licensee deployed compensatory measures in a manner consistent with the requirements in the Security Plan. The inspector determined through interviews that the security personnel available for assignment to compensatory security posts were properly trained for those dutie Conclusions The licensee deployed compensatory measures in a manner consistent with the requirements of the security pla S Security System Power Sucolv Inspection Scope (71750)
The security system backup power supply was inspected to determine compliance with the requirements of the Securi'y Pla Observations and Findinas The inspector reviewed the licensee's design and operation of the security backup power supply system that provided emergency power to required security equipmen The licensee demonstrated that upon simulating a loss of off-site power, the internal ,
'
battery system immediately took over supplying required components of the security systems with power. The inspector determined through interviews of security staff that the security backup power supply system performed as required. The inspector also verified that, upon transfer to the backup power system, an automatic indication was received in the alarm stations.
l Conclusions
A good security backup power supply system was in plac l l
