e ALLEGATION RIII-89-A-0058 A young lady lost her keys for about three months, and it was never reported by Bernie Hall, working at the plant.

1.

Describe incidents in which females lost security related keys including types of keys, duration of loss and final disposition of the keys.

~Res onse Interviews of plant security personnel and a review of plant key control records and Security Incident Reports for the past two years revealed no incidents of lost security related keys (vital and protected area keys) by females.

2.

Describe how any losses of security related keys were reported to the security organization.

~Res onse A review of records for the past two'ears revealed that one"

.,incident of a lost vital area door key controlled by Radiation Protection was reported to the Shift Security Supervisor verbally by a male employee and documented on a plant Condition Report.

At the time the key was lost, the two vital area doors associated with the lost key were being manned by security personnel for purposes not related to the lost key.

Locks on the doors were changed by security prior to security officers leaving the doors.

The lost key was found in the pocket of anti-contamination cloth-ing by contractor personnel the day following the lock change and returned immediately to security.

3.

Provide analysis of the handling of incidents of lost keys by

females, including NRC reporting requirements.

~Res onse As indicated in the response to item number 1,

lost key was associated with the fire protection cardox system" and had no security related significance.

There is no recorded indication that the key was ever found and returned.

4.

Provide a description and analysis of any deficiencies'you may have identified in your program or performance and corrective actions taken or planned.

~Res oese No deficiencies in the existing key control program were iden-tified as a result of this investigation.

A review of existing administrative controls determined that current key control practices provide high assurance that an attempt to conceal the loss of vital or protected area keys would be detected by security and/or plant personnel and reported to security.

SUMMARY

An extensive investigation involving numerous manhours was conducted to determine if there was any substance to this allegation.

The investigation involved a review of all security incident reports from

January, 1987, to, present; a review of vital and protected area key records from June,
1986, to present; a review of the current revision of Plant Procedure 12 PMP 2060 SEC. 001, "Lock, Key and Magnetic Key Card Control"; interviews with licensee security staff personnel and briefings of all security shift personnel to explain the allegation and request any officer with knowledge of lost keys regardless of the key's security significance to contact the contract security super-visor.

No new information from security personnel regarding lost keys has been forthcoming as a result of that request.
