EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Cooper Nuclear Station
NRC Inspection Report 50-298/97-15
This was an announced inspection of the licensee's vehicle barrier system utilizing Technical
Instruction 2515-132, " Malevolent Use of Vehicles At Nuclear Power Plants," dated January 18,
1996. In addition, as inspection time allowed, inspection Procedure 81700 was utilized to inspect
selected portions of the licensee's physical security program.
Plant Support
A violation was identified involving: (1) two gaps in the vehicle barrier system and (2) an
active barrier, which could be easily defeated with hand tools. An inspection followup item
was identified regarding the vehicle barrier system summary description, which did not
accurately describe the as-built vehicle barrier system. The licensee committed to change .
the summary description and resubmit it to the NRC (Section S1.1).
The bomb blast analysis was completed in accordance with the NRC recommended
model. The measurement distances used in the calculations were accurate. Tha licensee-
has maintained the documentation of the analysis (Section S1.2).
The vehicle barrier system procedures were very effective (Section S1.3).
A security records and reports system, that effectively met all rule and procedural
requirements, was maintained properly. An unresolved item was identified in the area of
access authorization (Section S2.1).
A good assessment aids system, that met all regulatory and physical security plan
requirements, was maintained properly (Section S2.2).
A protected area detection system capable of detecting any potential intruder, that met all
regulatory and physical security plan requirements, was maintained properly
(Section S2.3).
The alarm stations were redundant, well protected, and the operators were alert, well
trained, and efficient (Section S2.4).
