Security Plan
and Implementing Procedures
(81018)
Review
and
observation
of security
force operational
activities during
the
course
of the
inspection
determined
that
adequate
implementing
procedures
had
been
provided
to
ensure
satisfactory
compliance
with
requirements
and
commitments
of the
Physical
Security
Plan,
except
as
noted in Section
7 of this report.
Review of the Physical
Security
Plan,
approved
through
change
No. 23,
revealed
that
changes
to
the
plan
submitted
in
accordance
with
do
not
decrease
the
effectiveness
of the security
program relative to plan commitments.
The
Safeguards
Contingency
Plan
was
included
as
Chapter
8 of the
Physical
Security Plan.
Procedures
were detailed
and clearly written, and provided
adequate
guidance for the security force except
as noted.
During the
course
of the
inspection it was
noted that several
of the
current
provisions
of the
Physical
Security
Plan
require
updating
to
comply with
new
or
revised
regulatory
requiremerits,
and
to clarify
existing
commitments.
Included
were:
retention
period
for security
records,
amount
of
ammunition
provided
armed
security
personnel;
definition of Protected
Area Barrier at the primary access
portal,
and
compensatory
protection
provided
by defensive
positions
for assessment
degradations
on
the
protected
area
perimeter.
The
licensee
agreed
to
initiate the
necessary
changes
to the Physical
Security Plan in the next
scheduled
revision to be submitted in December
1988.
No violations of regulatory requirements
were identified in this area.
Management
Effectiveness
Security Program (81020)
Review of Security
Program functions
and observation
of security opera-
tional activities
revealed
that the
program
was effectively managed
and
that security
resources
were
being utilized
in
an efficient
manner.
The established
management
program
provided for development,
revision,
implementation
and
enforcement
of
physical
protection
procedures.
Licensee
management
demonstrated
an awareness
of, and supportive attitude
toward, physical protection requirements.
Based
on
observations
during
the
course
of the
inspection,
review of
security
related
documentation
and
assessment
of security
personnel
performance, it was determined
that the security
force is
managed
and
supervised
in accordance
with the Physical Security
Plan
and is capable of
providing an acceptable
level of security protection for the protected
and
vital areas
and security related
equipment.
No violations of regulatory requirements
were identified in this area.
Security Organization
(81022)
Review of security
operational
activities
and discussion
with security
management
personnel
revealed
that the
Ginna
Physical
Security organi-
zation
consisted
of
a proprietary
security
management
function
and
a
contract security force provided by the Wackenhut Corporation.
Security
personnel
contacted
appeared
to
be
knowledgeable
of security
duties
and
an acceptable
level of shift supervision
was provided.
Each
shift observed
during the inspection
was adequately
manned
to meet
the
security
plan
commitments.
Attitudes
and
performance
of
security
personnel
observed
during the inspection
were positive
and demonstrated
the capability to provide
an acceptable
level of protection for the plant
vital resources.
No violations of regulatory requirements
were identified in this area.

Security Program Audit (81034)
Review of security
records,
related
documentation,
and available audit
reports verified that the licensee
had established
a program for auditing
the security organization to assure
continued effectiveness.
The Physical
Security
Plan
commits to auditing the security program
a minimum of once
each
12 months by personnel
that are independent
of both security manage-
ment and supervision.
/
The
most
recent
audit of the
security
program
was
conducted
by the
licensee's
guality Assurance
staff during
the
period of August 16-19,
1988.
The
audit
report
concluded
that
security activities at
Ginna
station
are
effective
and
conducted
in
accordance
with established
requirements.
The report (No. 88-35) further reflected that
no deficien-
cies warranting issuance
of a request
for corrective action were noted.
A
previous audit,
Report
No. 87-45,
conducted
August 26-27,
1987, contained
similar comments with no deficiencies
noted.
No violations of regulatory requirements
were identified in this area.

the licensee
documented
and maintained
records of security related activities
and occurrences
in accordance
with
commitments
and requirements
contained
in the Physical Security Plan
and
Training
and gualification
Plan.
Records
reviewed
were
detailed
and
complete
and reflected
review by security
management.
Physical
Security
Event
Logs for the
period of April-June
1988 reflected
a total
of
24
logged events.
Nineteen
events
were logged for the period July 1, through
September
12,
1988.
The
licensee
had
not
