DUANE ARNOLD ENERGY CENTER SECURITY INSPECTION

REPORT

NO. 50-

331/96008(DRS)

Dear Hr. Liu:

On October

15,

1996,

the

NRC completed

a security inspection at your Duane

Arnold Energy Center reactor facility.

The enclosed

report presents

the

results of that inspection.

Areas

examined during the inspection

are identified in the report.

Within

'hese

areas,

the inspection consisted

of a selective

examination of procedures

and representative

records,

interviews with personnel,

and observations

of

activities in progress.

The purpose of the inspection effort was to determine

whether activities authorized

by the license

were conducted

safely

and in

accordance

with NRC requirements.

The summary contained

in the report

provides

an overview of our assessment

of your performance

in the area of

physical security.

The inspection

was to initiate the security core

inspection

as identified in Inspection

Procedure

81700

and to conduct

an

initial inspection of your Vehicle Barrier System.

Two violations of NRC requirements

were noted in the areas

inspected.

The

first involved multiple examples of inadequacies

in your vehicle search

program.

Two of three

examples

were identified by the

NRC inspector.

The

repetitive nature of these findings concern

us

and

may

be indicative of

broader

weaknesses.

The second violation involved an

NRC identified failure

to adequately

control personnel

access

to vital areas.

Vital area

access

was

granted to 71 personnel

that did not have

a need to have

access

to some vital

areas.

Our identification of this problem was accomplished

by simple

comparisons

of available information that could easily

have

been

completed

by

your staff.
