(Closed) Violation (50-272/82-15-03 and 50-311/82-15-03):
Failure to
have 0.2 foot candles of illumination in the protected area.
In order to
correct the problem of inadequate illumination in the protected area, the
licensee installed additional lighting at several locations on June 29,
1984.
On April 9, 1985, the inspector verified that the licensee had
provided adequate lighting. However, the inspector identified one area
where the illumination was inadequate because a lighting fixture had been
removed for maintenance.
The licensee could not account for this defi-
ciency.
Details concerning this apparent violation appear in paragraph 13
of this report .
(Closed) Violation (50-311/83-07-01):
Failure to maintain a ~ital area
boundary.
A security officer posted as a compensatory measure was
observed by the inspector in a position that precluded his observation of
an open vital area boundary which was included in his assigned post.
During this inspection, the inspector verified that a security officer
3
~was positioned such that he could observe the affected vital area to which
he was assigned, was properly equipped and was knowledgeable of the duties
and responsibili~ies associated with the post.
The inspector also inter-
viewed 10 of 12 Security Officers who were assigned to compensatory posts.
One was found to be deficient in his knowledge of post requirements.
The
inspector considered that to be an isolated case which could not reason-
ably have been expected to be prevented by the licensee's corrective
action for this violation and because of the proficiency demonstrated by
the other nine and, therefore, considered that the licensee's corrective
action, as stated in their response to the previous violation, was ade-
quate.
(See also paragraph 14 of this report.)

MC 92703 - Followup on Information Notice 85-04 (Inadequate Management *
of Security Response Drills)
5.
6.
This information notice was issued to inform licensees of (1) a potential
danger in conducting security response drills without properly notifying
participants; and, (2) the need to ensure, through proper management
control, that such drills do not decrease the overall effectiveness of
the security program.
The inspector reviewed a Security Guardmont Bulletin, dated February 20,
1985, subject: IE Information Notice 85-04, Inadequate Management of
Security Response Drills, which had been issued to all security shift
supervisors and which required them to strictly follow secur1ty
'
requirements during the conduct of drills, ensuring proper management
cognizance; to ensure all parties participating in drills are properly
identified; and, to ensure that all radio transmissions regarding drills
begin and end with
11Thi s is a dri 11, this is a dri 11. 11
The inspector
also reviewed various checklists provided for drills. These forms were
found to be readily available for use by supervisors during drills and
emergency situations. The inspector determined that the licensee had
adequately considered the Information Notice.
MC 92704 - Followup on Headquarters Requests
During this inspection, the inspector reviewed the licensee's actions
regarding concerns identified during the NRC's Regulatory Effectiveness
Review which was conducted on December 2-10, 1982.
Those concerns were
forwarded to the licensee in a February 24, 1983 letter from the Office
of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
See Attachment 1 for the inspector's
findings.
MC 92706 - Independent Inspection Effort
During this inspect1on, the inspector reviewed an allegation (RI:
84-4-0147) received by the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Salem on
September 26, 1984.
The allegation concerned contractor personnel who,
in the company of their supervisor, failed to exercise proper access
measures when entering the control room.
Allegedly, this was witnessed
by two security officers who failed to do anything to correct the
situation.
4
~The licensee was requested by letter, dated October 19, 1984, from the
Director, Division of Project and Resident Programs, NRC Region I, to
review the allegftion. That review found that the contractor's supervisor
had opened the control room door properly to show his work crew how the
door was to be painted.
The workers did not actually enter the control
room but stood in the doorway without having exercised proper access
measures.
Other workers in the area immediately brought the deficiency to
the attention of the security officers who were accompanying the work
crew.
The security officers promptly instructed the workers in the proper
access procedures.
The licensee's findings and corrective actions are
contained in a letter dated November 21, 1984 to NRC Region I.
The inspector verified that the licensee had taken those actions stated
in the November 21, 1984 letter. The inspector also observed signs posted
at the badge issue window alerting visitors and escorts to their respon-
sibilities. Additionally, the inspector interviewed twelve security
officers to confirm that they had received expanded training on procedures
for escorting visitors. A review of security event reports by the inspec-
tor revealed no cases involving the improper accessing by v1sitors sub-
sequent to the alleged event.
The inspector determined that the
licensee's actions as a result of the event were appropriate for the cir-
cumstances.

MC 81018 - Security Plan and Implementing Procedures
The inspector confirmed that the licensee's security program conformed to
the security plan and implementing procedures.
The inspector found no
evidence that plant safety was being affected by the security program,
procedures, or equipment.
8.
MC 81020 - Management Effectiveness - Security Program
The licensee's security management staff and the contractor's management
and supervisory staff appeared effective in discharging their
responsibilities.
The inspector was advised that periodic unannounced
searches of the site were being carried out with the aid of trained dogs
to detect any presence of controlled substances.
9.
MC 81022 - Security Organization
The licensee's security management structure and chain of command were
found by the inspector to be in conformance with the approved physical
security plan, contingency plan, procedures, and applicable regulatory
requirements, and were adequate and appropriate for their intended
function.
The inspector confirmed that the licensee has a management
system to provide for the development, revision, implementation and
enforcement of physical protection procedures.

Guardmount Records; Site Training Department Memorandum; Guardmount
Bulletins; Armed Response Checklist; Armed Response Critique Forms;

this report.
The missing fixture should have been noted on, at least,
the latest checklist.
(See paragraph 13 for further details.)

The inspector expressed his concern about the security force being unaware
of the removal of the lighting fixture by the maintenance force and about
the missing fixture not being identified on, at least, the latest Peri-
6
..,,meter and Area Lighting Checklist which is used during routine surveil-
lances. The Site Security Supervisor stated that he would look into the

Subsequently, the Security Officer was interviewed by the Yoh Security
Force Project Manager, who was in the company of the inspector during the
inspector's interview of the Officer, and it was apparent by the lack of
adequate responses to questions, that the security officer was not aware
of his assigned area of responsibility.
The Security Force Projec~
Manager summoned a roving area supervisor and directed that the security
officer be relieved and retrained.
The security officer was replaced with
a qualified security officer.
Failure to perform duties in accordance
with procedures is an apparent violation.
