AFFIDAVIT OF CHARLES E. GASKIN STATE OF MARYLAND
) SS COUNTY OF MONTG0MERY)
I, Charles E. Gaskin, being duly sworn, despose and state:
1.
I am a Physical Security Analyst in the Division of Safeguards with responsibility for the physical security of designated operating and non-operating nuclear power reactors.
Prior to this, I was a Reactor Safeauards Analyst, Reactor Safeguards Licensing Branch, DOR.
2.
I have prepared the statement of professional qualifications attached hereto, and, if called upon, would testify as set forth therein.
3.
I have prepared this affidavit and I hereby certify that it is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
4.
As part of my duties as a Physical Security Analyst, I review and evaluate the physical security plan being implemented at the Trojan Plant.
I have succeeded Mr. William Ross in this capacity. This physical security plan had been reviewed by the NRC staff and.it was deter. mined by the NRC staff that the Trojan Physical Security Plan meets all of the pertinent requirements of 10 CFR Part 73. This plan was approved on February 23, 1979. Since that time the Portland 1
feb4eso Cf3
General Electric Company has submitted several revisions to the physical security plan.
I am currently reviewing these revisions.
Since I succeeded Mr. Ross as the reviewer of the Trojan Physical Security Plan, I have visited the site once and have had several meetings with members of the Portland General Electric Company regarding their security program.
I have also been in contact with the NRC Office of Inspection and Enforcement, Region V.
I an aware of the seriousness of security incidents that ~have occurred at the Trojan Nuclear Plant and am prepared to consider any impact construc-tion projects on the site may have upon the overall' physical security program.
5.
This affidavit will update the affidavit presented by William J. Ross dated August 10, 1979.
6.
Regarding the proposed modifications to the Trojan, Control Building and the impact this construction will have upon the security program being implemented at the Trojan Plant, the current security plan is approved as meeting the requirement of 10 CFR 73.55 as stated in the previous affidavit by Mr. Ross. This security plan is currently being imple-mented at the site and is subject to inspection by the is.C Office of Inspection and Enforcement, Region V.
The security progra Es implemented is fully capable of handling the increase in the number of personnel that may be required to be on.the site as a result of I
j t e modifications, i

Q s 7.
The recent incidents at the Trojan site, which include the drug problem and the incidents leading up to the civil penalty, indicate problems in implementation and not problems in the original provisions toward meeting the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55.
8.
The security program is currently under review due to revisions to the security plan which came about and which are proposed as a result of implementation experience gained at the site by the licensee.
t 9.
Based on the staff's review and evaluation of the Trojan Security Plan, the implementation history on site including the implementations pro-i blems illustrated by the drug problem and the incidents leading up to the civil penalty, and the security protection provided both during and after the Control Building modifications, and regarding item 7(a) through 7(g) of the previous affidavit submitted by Mr. Pass, it has been determined that:
(a) The security program and requirements in the Trojan physical security plan adequately accommodate additional personnel on site over and above the 25 worker per shift required for the modification work.
(b) Physical security measures necessary to accommodate and control access to protected and vital areas are currently inplace in accordance with the requirements of the approved Physical Security Plan.
(c) Security screening of personnel as requirr d by the Security Plan will be performed in accordance with the requirements stated in the approved Physical Security Plan.
l l
O I i (d) Personnel granted unescorted access to protected and vital areas after the required security screening will be given appropriate security training.
(e)
Requirements in the Physical Security Plan are adequate to provide compensatory measures for any temporary degradation of vital area barriers which may come about as a result of the modification to the control building.
(f) The Physical Security Plan provides acceptable provisions for t
control of additional vehicles within the protected area.
(g) The Trojan Physical Security Plan commits to meet all of the pertinent requirements of 10 CFR Part 73 both during the proposed modification work and after the proposed modifications have been completed.
10.
Based on a review of the Trojan Physical Security Plan relating to the proposed modification to the Control Building complex and in light of the implementation history of the site, it is the staff's conclusion that the Physical Security measures and provisions which the licensee is required to implement and follow will provide an adequate level of protection for the facility both during and after the proposed modi-fication in accordance with 10 CFR Part 73 and gives reasonable assurance that the proposed modification will not result in undue l
1 !
risk to the public health and safety insofar as physical security of the facility is concerned.
