SUBJECT:
NRC PHYSIC,AL SECURITY INSPECTION REPORTS 50-315/97019(DRS);
GO-316/97019(DRS)
Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick:
On October 3,1997, the NRC coinpleted a physical security inspection at your D. C. Cook
facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
Areas examined within your secunty program are identified in the report. Within those areas,
the inspection consisted of a select!ve examination of procedures and representative records,
observation of performance, and interviews with the staff. The objective of the inspecti'an effort
was to determine whether activities authorized by the license were conducted safely and in
accordance with NRC requirements.
Based on the results of the inspection, it appears that some of your activities were not
conducted in accordance with requirements. Your staff identified that on numerous occasions
in 1996 and 1997 you did not meet the minimum response force capabilities required by the
approved D. C. Cook security plan for the reasons indicated. Additionally, we identified that
your armed response deployment strategy was not successfully demonstrated during drills
conducted in February and June 1997 because armed responders were assigned other duties
which prevented them from adequately respo.) ding. Both of these violations re!ated to contract
l
security personnel reductions made during the past two years and the failure of management to
analyze the impact of these reductions on security plan commitments.
Additionally another finding, not involving a violation, was identified and is prov Juu for your
\\
information and review. This issue involved the perception of the secunty shift captains that
\\
security management was not receptive to their concems based on statements. Our review
showed that your security management staff appropriately addressed this issue with each
security shift during the week of our inspection,
