Security Plan and Implementing Procedures The inspectors reviewed the T.icensee's NRC-aoproved security plan (the Plan) and implemer, ting-proceduros and confirmed that the procedures were consistent with the Pitn commit..nents and were adequate to meet applicable regulatory requirement.
l 3.
. Management Effectivenen The inspectors found. hat licensee management is involved in the
!ec.:rity program and continues to be supportive of program requirements.
This involvement and support.was evident from the progress being made on security program hardware upgrace:; and the continuing efforts to increase the r, umber of contract security force members through an aggressive recruiting program.
C.
Security Organization The inspectors reviewed the area of security force manning and determined that progress is being made in resolving previous shortages as a result of the licensee's and contractor's aggressive recruitment program for security personnel. The ir.spectors noted that the amount of overtime being wot ked by security force members has been reduced as a result of l
- i. hat progress. A significant factor in the shortaos is the length of time l'
necessary to obtsin U.S. Depzrtment of Energy (DCE) clearances for new b

i members of the force. The inspectors noted thst there hai been a slight, but steady, decline in the clearance turn-around time. The licensee currently has. submitted applications, and is awaiting clearances, for'approximately 30 individuals.
The inspectors determined that the performance of the' security force has not been adversely affected by the 1
shortages.
-5.
Program Audits
.The inspectors reviewed the. security program audit that was in progress i-during the inspection. The inspectors determined that the scope of the audit was more comprehensive and better documented than it had been in the
'past.
The inspectors also determined that personnel.who were conducting the audit possessed security expertise, which was not always the case in the past. However, the audit was being conducted by management personnel employed by the security force contractor and the inspectors questioneo
'the independence of these auditors. The licensee stated that an independent consultant was scheduled to do this audit (and future audits),
but he did not receive-his clearance in time to meet the audit frequency requirement.
Since the secu;'ity force contractor's management personne' were'aiready cleared and possessed the requisite security expertise, they were bein.g used to conduct the audit. The inspectors' review disclosed that the persons conducting the audit had no day-to-day responsibilities for security force operations and that the draf t audit findings did not indicate any lack of objectivity as a result of the auditors' affiliation with the contractor. The finsi audit report, and disposition of its findings and recommendations, will be reviewed in a subsequent inspection.

- 21. Persennel Training and Qualification The inspect'rs reviewed the licensee's Training and Qualifiestion Piar, i
'(T&QP) ane.ts implementation. The inspectors identified the following:

There were several discrepant.ies in the documentation of training relative to the date that the training was received and, in several cases, the instructor who conducted the training.did not sign the documentation to indicate that the training had been received.
The insr:ctors. interviewed a majority of the involved trainees and j
tne instructor and determined that the documentation discrepancies were administrative in nature.
The licensee committed to strengthen the administ ative controls to preclude tnis type of discrepancy from recurring.
(I.~-i 89-05-01) l 2.
The leston plans being used were not standardized and lacked sufficient details to assure that all aspects of the subjects identified in the T&QP were being completely and consistertly covered by all instructors.
