'i!
zone'is provided along both sides of the barrier, except at I,

4.0 Identification of Vital Areas
,The Appendix *contains a discussion of the applica1t's vital area

p r o g r a'm and identifies those areas and items of equipment determined to be vital for protection parpcses.
Vital equipment

- i s located.Within vital areas which are located within the 3
protected, area and which' require passage through at least two
~
barri.ers, as defined in 10 CFR 73.2(f)(1) and (2), to gain accesstothevital, equi $ ment.
Vital area barriers are 1
_ _, separated from the protected area barrier.
~
j' The control room and central alarm station are provided with j
bullet-resistant walls, doors, ceilings and floors.
Based on
- i
.)I these findi.ngs'and the. analysis set f or.;,h4 in.. paragraph Q f
- s.
the Appe'ndix, the' staff has concluded that the applicant's m-program"for identification'a'nd protectio'n of vital equipment-i f
satisfies the regulatory intent.
However, this program is subject to on' site validation by the staff in the future,'and to su6sedue'nt changes if found to be necessary.
5.0 Access Reouirements i
In accordance with 10 CFR 73.55(d) aLL' points,.pf personnel and

The 1
individual responsible for controlling the final point of' access i nto the protected area is Located in a bullet-resistant structure.
As p a r.t of the access control program, vehicles i
I (except under emergenc'y conditions), personnel, packages, and materials entering the protected area are searched for

Licensee designated vehicles are limited to on-site' station fun'ctions and' remain in the protected area except for operational maintenance, repair, security and emergency purposes. ' Positive control over the vehicles is maintained.by personnel authorized to use the vehicles or by the escort' personnel.
A picture badge / key c'ard system, utilizing enco,ded information, identifies individuals that I

The central al. ara station is located
~
such that the interior of the station is'^not visible from'
}
.j outsidst.the. perimeter of the protected area.
In addition, y
j the central station is constructed so that walls, floors, s..
ceilings, doors, and windows are bullet resistant.
The alarm stations are located and designed in such a manner
.z.--
so a single act cannot interdict the ca'pability of calling for assistance or responding to alarms.
The central alarm station contains no other functions or duties that would j
interfere with-its alarm response function.

has established a program for the testing and-maintenance of I
alL intrusion alarms, emergency alarms, communication equipment, i
physical barriers and other security related devices and I
equipment.
Equipment or devices that do not meet the design I
i performance criteria or have failed to otheruise operate will be compe'nsated for by appr;priate compensatory measures as defined'in the "Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 1 and 2 Physical Security Plan and Contingency Plan" and in site

10.0 Employee Screening Procram I
ll In meeting the requirements of 10 CFR'73'.55(a) to protect
<.l against the design basis threat as stated in 10 CFR 73.1 l ' *.
( a ) (1 ) (~i i ), the Georgia Power Company has provided an 1
l employee screening program.
Personnel who successfulLy k
complete the employe'e screening program or its equivalent I
-aay b,e-granted unes co rted a c ce s s to.p rot e ct ed and vital areas at the Vogtle Plant site.
AlL other personnel requiring access to'the site are escorted by persons author.ized and trained for escort duties a nd w h o -h gVe tucc.essfully w s.
j completed the employee screening programg_,The employee screeni$g program is based upon accepted industry standar8s
-r and includes.a.backgrobnd investigation, a psychological evaluation, and a continuing observation program. In addition, the $pplic nt may recognize the screening program of other nuclear utilities or contractors based upon a comparability re, view conducted by the Georgia Power Companyr The plan i
also provides for a." grandfather clause" exclusion which l,l!
allows recognition of a certain period of trustworthy I
service'with the utility or contractor, as being equivalent 4
y to the.overa.L.L employee screening pr'ogram. The staff has l 4 reviewe'd'the applica'nt's screening program against the accepted
