Plant Sucoort
In general, the conduct of security activities was professional; however, a negative trend
in performance of the contract security force was noted during the period of June
through August 1997 when four security officers were observed to be inattentive while
on post. In three of four instances, the inattentiveness caused the licensee to be in
violation of security plan commitments. Specifically, a security officer assigned as a
compensatory measure for a failed seculity system was observed to be inattentive; and
on two separate occasions, a member of the armed response team was observed to be
inattentive. (Section S3)
Reviewed security systems were operable and effectia,. (Section S2)
Security management responded aggressively to investigate apparent small paper fires
in two vital areas. (Section S4.1)
Security officers promptly identified and responded effectively to a potential security
threat involving an armed trespasser in the owner controlled area. (Section S4.2)
The quality assurance staff performed a good review uf security, fitness for duty, and
the Plant Access Data System programs. (Section S7)
,
The inspector identified that the security delay barrier enhancements in support of the
tactical response program were not completed. Although the Operational Safeguards
Response Evaluation was conducted in July 1997, the licensee delayed completion of
the barrier modifications because of maintenance outage priorities. (Section SB)
