. conditions pertaining.to physical protection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and records, interviews with facility personnel and observations by the inspector.
' Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your activities was r.:.t conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as i

License No. R-71 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Based on the results of. t(m,MC inspection conducted on July 29-30. 1976 it appears that;tWbf'your activities was not in full compliance with applicable NRC regulations and conditions of your license, as indicsteci I
below.
I l
During a key inventory taken August 8.197b it was determined by the j
Laboratory Security Officer that one security related key was lost and one security related key was duplicated.
It was determined July 30 i
1976 that contrary to good security practices no corrective action had j
been taken.
i This is a deficiency.

UNIVERS!7Y0FCdiFORhlAATLOSANGELES DOCKET NO. 50-142 Enclosed is the report of the special physical security inspection conducted on July 29-30. 1976 for the above facility, as a result of that inspection one item of noncompliance avid several security weak-nesses were identified.
Security Weaknesses i~
1.
Essential equipment is not specifically identified in the Security Plan.
(See Report Details.' paragraph 3) 2.
Ine reactor control room is considered an operational area rather I
than a security area. Large plate glass windows,1/8 inch in l
tnickness, separate the control room from the reactor.
(See Report Details, paragraph 4) 3.
There is need to improve tne procedures pertaining to corrective 1
action resulting from inspections and inventorics and tc add 1
additional information for bomb threats.
Vulnerabilities We must conclude that UCLA, a non-power reactor licensee, is vulnerable "f..to the three man threat. militarily trained, armed with semi-automatic
,..,.l weapons and an insider's knowledge of the facility. With the exception
.of the materials storage area there are no door alams. The present
'alam system is concentrated in the reactor high bay.
It would be i
possible to force any of the many doors leading and adjacent to the reactor, and then under cover of that room enter the reactor area. Once inside the reactor room, even though an alarm would sound. It is esti-mated that there would be sufficient time to complete a successful act of sabotage and depart by a different door into a multiple array of hallways to avoid apprenension.

Essential Equipment The licensee's new security plan (April 1,1976) paragraph 1. A contains a general description and refers the reader to the attached Appendices A and B for a further description.
Essential equipment, if any, for this Argonaut reactor such as; the reactor, reactor coolant system, reactor controls, etc. have not been designated.
4.
Security Areas The fuel storage area (radioactive storage room) and the reactor room (reactor high bay) are identified as security areas, access to i
which is controlled by an "A" level key.
t The reactor control room is considered an operational area (as are the classrooms) rather than a security area. Access is controlled by the "B" level key.
5.
Security Systems The licensee's security plan sets forth the controls and a descrip-tion of the lock and key system. A review of the licensee's security log revealed that a key inventory was conducted on 8/18/75.
The following was entered: "Leight lost "C" level key, Police Department made at least one extra "B" level key - marked it as B-14."
As a result of that inventor / the licensee had taken no action to correct the noted deficiencies.
This was identified as an item of noncompliance.
