MC 92700 Onsite Follow-up of a Report of a Non-Routine Event
a.
Background
A plant employee exited the plant protected area (PA) at approximately
10:00 a.m., November 19, 1985.
At approximately 11:30 a.m., November
19, 1985, he returned to the primary access facility (PAF) where he met
a valve vendor that he knew at the badge counter.
After an extended
conversation, the vendor left the PAF and the plant employee proceeded
through the access facility without obtaining his photo-identification
badge, was permitted access to the PA and went to his work place in the
plant, unescorted.
At approximately 2:30 p.m., he became aware that he
didn't have his photo-identification badge and reported to the security
force that he had lost his badge.
Security checked the computer access
control log which reflected that the employee exited the PA that morning
at 10:00 a.m. and that there was no subsequent entry.
A check'of the
badge rack revealed that the badge was in its proper place in the rack.
The licensee advised the Senior Resident Inspector at 11:00 p.m. , Novem-
ber 20, 1985 that the employee accessed the PA without his photo-identi-
fication badge.
The NRC Headquarters Duty Officer was advised of the
event by telephone at about 1:30 p.m., November 20, 1985.
b.
NRC Inspector Findings
The inspector determined from a review of records and discussions with
the licensee that the plant employee had accessed the PA, unescorted,
without his photo-identification badge.
Approximately 30 persons were
processed into the PA between 11:00 a.m. and-12:00 noon on November 19,
1985. Two PA entry aisles were open, with a number of the security force
~
at'each, the access controller was'at his station, and the badge issuing
desk was properly manned.
The access facility was not crowded and there-
were apparently no circumstances which would have precluded security
personnel from following approved personnel access procedures, according-
to the licensee.
A review of events by the inspector since June 1, 1984, indicates the
following access control (personnel) violations:
June 28, 1984
84-1
Authorized Person in PA w/o Badge.
November 17, 1984
84-2
Authorized Person in PA w/o Badge
