keycards. A noncited violation was identified for issuing the wrong

t

badge to an employee (Section 1.1).

,

'

A noncited violation was identified regarding the licensee's

identification of three self-screening contractor programs that were

certifying personnel for unescorted access prior to completion of the

screening requirements. An enhancement to the metal detectors was

implemented that improved the capability to search personnel entering the

protected area (Section 2.1).

A violation was identified regarding the failure to maintain an

uninterruptible power supply. An unresolved item was identified

regarding a conflict between the Physical Security Plan description of

the uninterruptible power supply and the actual "as is" status of the

system. A concern was identified regarding the lack of contingency

!

planning for the degraded uninterruptible power supply (Section 3.1).

A concern was identified regarding the maintenance of vital area doors

and access cardreaders (Section 4.1).

A sufficient number of security officers was maintained to meet Physical'

Security Plan requirements. Morale appeared to improve after the

institution of a new work schedule, and overtime was reduced. Errors by

the security force caused the inspectors to be concerned about the

efficiency and dependability of the security force (Section 4.2).

An effective records and reports system was maintained. A concern was

,

identified regarding security event reports that did not adequately

describe the corrective actions for security degradations and violations

(Section 4.3).

The audit program was effective in identifying problem areas. However,

corrective action did not appear to be effective and generally addressed

symptoms rather than root causes, as indicated by repetition of similar

-

findings (Section 4.4).

Security officers suitability records were well maintained and indicated

that the employees met the qualifications requirements (Section 4.5).

A concern was identified regarding the effectiveness of the security

'

procedures (Section 4.6).

Summar_y of Inspection Findinas:

Violation 458/9308-01 was identified (Section 1.1).
