SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a Baseline Security Inspection at the Fort Calhoun Station, in accordance with Inspection Procedure 81311, Physical Security Requirements for Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations.
List of Violations
No violations of more than minor significance were identified.
INSPECTION SCOPES
Inspections were conducted using Inspection Procedure 81311, Physical Security Requirements for Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations, and review of general license requirements contained in the approved safety evaluation report (SER), the approved physical security plan (PSP), and applicable ISFSI security orders. The inspector reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.
81311 - Physical Security Requirements for Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations
1. Inspection Scope
- The inspector verified that spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is stored only within a protected area (PA). (72.212(9))
- The inspector verified that only individuals who are authorized to enter the PA are granted access to the PA. (72.212(9), SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that the licensee is in compliance with site-specific security orders (e.g., additional security measures) for access authorization and fingerprinting; and that a log of authorized individuals is maintained. (SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that the licensee can detect and assess penetrations through the isolation zone. (72.212(9))
- The inspector verified that the licensee can provide timely communication to the designated response force whenever necessary. (72.212(9), SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that the physical protection system is designed to protect against loss of control of the facility that could be sufficient to cause a radiation exposure exceeding the dose described in 10 CFR 72.106(b). (SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that the licensee has retained a copy of the physical protection plan for a period of three years or until termination of the license. (72.212(9), SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that the licensee complies with the provisions for physical protection systems, components, and procedures that meet the performance capabilities of 72.212(9), the SER, and the PSP.
- The inspector verified that the licensees SNF and high-level radioactive waste are stored only within a PA so that access to this material requires passage through or penetration of two physical barriers. One barrier at the perimeter of the PA and one barrier offering substantial penetration resistance. (SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that the licensee provides illumination sufficient to permit adequate assessment of unauthorized penetrations of or activities within the PA. (72.212(9), SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that the licensees perimeter of the PA allows for continual surveillance and is protected by an active intrusion alarm system that is capable of detecting penetrations through the isolation zone and that is monitored in a continually staffed primary alarm station and in one additional continually staffed location. (72.212(9), SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that the primary alarm station is located within the PA, that it has bullet-resisting walls, doors, ceiling and floor; and the interior of the station is not be visible from outside the PA. A timely means for assessment of alarms is provided. The redundant alarm monitoring location provides a summary indication that an alarm has been generated. (SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified the licensees PA is monitored by daily random patrols. (72.212(9), SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that the licensees security organization has written procedures that provide for sufficient personnel per shift to ensure the monitoring of detection systems and the conduct of surveillance, assessment, access control, and communications to assure adequate response. The inspector verified that members of the security organization are trained, equipped, qualified, and requalified to perform assigned job duties in accordance with the approved Training and Qualification Plan. (72.212(9), SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that the licensee has documented liaison with a designated response force or local law enforcement agency (LLEA) to permit a timely response to unauthorized penetration or activities. (72.212(9), SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that the licensee has a personnel identification system and a controlled lock system that limits access to only authorized individuals. (72.212(9),
SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that the licensee has redundant communications capability between onsite security force members and designated response force or LLEA. (72.212(9), SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that all licensee individuals, vehicles, and hand-carried packages entering the PA must be checked for proper authorization and visually searched for explosives before entry. (72.212(9), SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that the licensees written response procedures have been established and maintained for addressing unauthorized penetration of or activities within, the PA. (72.212(9), SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that all the licensees detection systems and supporting subsystems include a tamper indicating system with line supervision. The system, as well as surveillance/assessment and illumination systems, must be maintained in operable condition. (72.212(b)(9))
- The inspector verified that the licensee protects safeguards information against unauthorized disclosure. (10 CFR 73.21, 10 CFR 73.22, and 10 CFR 73.23 and 10 CFR 72.212(b)(9)(vi))
- The inspector verified that the licensees physical protection program is reviewed once every 24 months by individuals independent of both physical protection program management and personnel who have direct responsibility for implementation of the physical protection program. The physical protection program review must include an evaluation of the effectiveness of the physical protection system and a verification of the liaison established with the designated response force or LLEA. (72.212(9), SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that the licensee has retained the following documentation as a record for three years after the record is made or until termination of the license. Any duplicate records required under 10 CFR 72.180 and 10 CFR 73.71 of this part need not be retained under the requirements of this section: a log of individuals granted access to the PA; screening records of members of the security organization; a log of all patrols; a record of each alarm received, identifying the type of alarm, location, date and time when received, and disposition of the alarm; and the physical protection program review reports. (72.212(9), SER/PSP)
- The inspector verified that, in accordance with any applicable security requirements and/or security orders, the licensee has implemented measure and process for vehicle control measures into protected areas. (72.212(9), SER/PSP)
