SUMMARY
OF FINDINGS IR 07000036/2014004(DNMS); Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC (WEC); Former Hematite Fuel Manufacturing Facility; Physical Security Plan (PSP), Material Control & Accounting (MC&A) Inspection Procedures (IP) 85401, 85402, 85403, and 85405.
The security inspection at the Westinghouse Hematite facility was completed focused on the licensees overall capability to detect, assess, and delay unauthorized access, communicate with response forces to protect against loss of control of the facility and communicate with Local Law Enforcement Agencies (LLEA). The security posture during the inspection was for the protection of Category II and III SNM with contingency to increase/add capabilities for the protection of Category I SNM in compliance with Appendix D of the PSP and the HDP Category I Contingency Safeguards Contingency Response Plan version dated July 28, 2011.
Specifically, the inspection evaluated whether the protection of the Vault Type Room (VTR) and facility was in compliance with the NRC approved PSP, Safeguards Contingency Plan (SCP) and NRC regulations. Appendix D of the PSP contains the security Category I contingency plan that shall be implemented in the unlikely event a Category I quantity of SNM is located during remediation activities. The Appendix D requirements would remain in effect until the discovered Category I material is shipped off site or more detailed measurements establish that the amount of SNM is below a Category I quantity.
At the time of the inspection, all security systems and equipment for the VTR and facility were serviceable, in operation and functioning properly. The inspector observed physical security related activities to determine if the licensee was effectively implementing the requirements of the NRC approved PSP and SCP. The inspector also evaluated the licensees implementation of the Training & Qualification Plan (T&QP); interviewed personnel, and examined a select number of procedures and representative records. In addition, the inspection verified that the licensees MC&A program was consistent with NRC requirements and could adequately detect and protect against the loss, theft, or diversion of SNM. The inspector evaluated the licensees handling and storage of safeguards information in accordance with regulatory requirements.
The inspector used IP 81810, Protection of Safeguards Information, to complete this part of the inspection.
