SUBJECT:

Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Unit 1 Docket No. 50-416 License No. NPF-29 Security Boundary Upgrade Bimonthly-Status Report AECM-90/0097 As discussed in AECM-90/0058 dated March 30, 1990, Entergy Operations conaitted to submit bimonthly status reports regarding the Security Boundary Upgrade Project. These reports are to inform the NRC of Entergy Operations.

progress toward upgrading the south security boundary, and to identify any concerns which might hamper the project.

Attached is the initial Security Boundary Upgrade Project Status Report for the bimonthly period ending May 31, 1990. This initial report includes discussion regarding background and past accomplishments in our overall efforts to upgrade the entire plant security boundary, as well as the milestones for those efforts now focusing on the south boundary.

Entergy Operations will present a briefing at NRC Region II on June 20, 1990, as discussed on May 24, 1990, with the NRC Region-II staff. The briefing will present the results of the south boundary scoping study and our plans to implement planned improvements.

Our next report, covering June 1 - July 31, 1990, will be submitted in August, 1990. This letter and the attached status report have been kept to a non-safeguards level. Should you need more detailed information on any specific-item, please contact this office.

.,, Bimonthly R: port -#1 Attcchment to-1;riod Ending:f May 31, 1990 AECM-90/0097 SECURITY BOUNDARY UPGRADE PROJECT STATUS REPORT I. BACKGROUND: j

- GGNS security has been reviewed by the NRC a number of times in the past several years. Entergy Operations feels that these inspections and l reviews have confirmed the overall strength of the GGNS security program l and physical features. In addition,.GGNS has worked with.the NRC to  !

upgrade specific security areas to ensure that any potential problems or concerns were promptly identified and resolved. These changes have .;

represented a large commitment in both manpower and financial resources.

Some specific improvements, and their approximate completion dates, include:

1

- Inner delay barrier fence and vehicle search area (1988) l New X-ray detectors for the guardhouse (1988) and the warehouse (1989) .f

- Increased tactical training (1989) l

- Extensive North Boundary upgrade (1989) .l 3 - Replacement of CCTV monitors in the CAS/SAS (1989) {

l New explosive detectors (1990) i Administration Building north wall alarm system.(to be completed

1990).

II. SECURITY BOUNDARY UPGRADE PROJECT:

The NRC inspections and reviews mentioned above, including the 1988 Regulatory Effectiveness Review (RER), identified an issue which is the ,

t focus of this series of bimonthly status reports. The Security Boundary Upgrade Project was initiated due to concerns with camera coverage on the south boundary. ' Study of the issue has identified two related concerns ,i which must.be concurrently addressed to obtain an effective solution to the camera coverage issue. These additional concerns are the camera q l monitoring computer system capacity and working conditions in the j l CAS/SAS. Entergy Operations has developed plans to correct these '{

concerns, and is proceeding with their internal approval and j implementation. 1 III. TENTATIVE UPGRADE PLANS a q

A tentative plan has been developed to address concerns relating to the south boundary. The plan has-two major parts:

1. Short-term Improvements - Activities which will improve camera j coverage and CAS/SAS working conditions: l j.

Relocate two cameras

- Add cantilever mountings to two cameras

- . Change-five camera lenses

- Add glare screens to CAS/SAS computer display monitors j

- Replace' existing CAS/SAS printers l-Improve CAS/SAS room lighting.
