Following the orientation tour the team will-meet with appropriate. site security, operations, and/or engineering staff to

+

select and walk-down potential sets of targets-to be used in response. drills and table-top exercises' Any 'icensee questions on methodology or. other matters are then addressed so that a commcn understanding can be reached.-

systems engineer will also want to meet with additional plant operators to l

assure that security systems are not interfering with safe operation of the plant.

Please provide appropriate plant personnel support for the OSRE team during the scheduled evaluation.

Specifically, security members will require escorts from the security training department, and the team systems engineer will need an individual familiar with safety equipment location and functional capabili-ties. The team will make every effort to schedule its activities so as to avoid disruption of normal plant operations. The time that various team

)

members spend on-site may vary, but generally will range from six to eight hours per day.

Some of this time is expected to be during evening hours.

i If you have any questions regarding the conduct of the operational security 1

readiness evaluation program which you wish to have answered prior to the team's visit, please contact David Orrik, Safeguards Branch at (301) 504-3213, or Aubrey Tillman of the Region II staff.
