Introduction Mr. Martin presented a summary of the Senior Resident Inspector's obser- vations at Peach Bottom Unit 2 on April 14, 1985, which led to a reactive inspection on April 18, 1985, by a region based physical security inspector. That inspection identified four apparent violations of NRC , requirements. Mr. Martin expressed concern about the apparent lack of management controls at the site which allowed the event to occur. He noted that the violations occurred over a weekend when no licensee security supervisory personnel were on site and responsibility for security operations rested with a contract security force sergeant. Mr. Martin identified the following apparent violations of NRC require- ments: (1) neither a guard nor watchman was posted at a vital area

Licensee Presentation and Discussions Mr. Cooney acknowledged that the first three violations occurred. How- , ever, he stated that PEco took issue with the fourth (failure to submit a ' plan change). He stated that secondary alarm station (SAS) operators had been instructed not to send a response rover when an "immediate reset" , alarm was received from a VA door, since, in all likelihood, it was a spurious alarm. He stated that PECo did not consider this as decreasing-
the effectiveness of the program. He further stated that all true alarms are being responded to properly in accordance with security plan and commitments. Mr. Cooney then enumerated several initiatives which the security contractor for the Peach Bottom facility has implemented over the past year to improve the quality of their service, e.g., increased cor- porate oversight, improved training, and establishment of an office near ', the site. He surmised that the long outage at Unit 2 partially contri- buted to the error made by the craftsmen on April 14. He concluded by saying that there was no significant security weakness since no unauthor- ! ized persons gained access to the plant's protected or vital areas. i f 4 THIS PAR.AGRAPH CONTAINS SAFEGUARDS INFORMAIl0S AND IS NOT FDR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE, ITIS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK. .
s Mr. Weindorfer stated that a better surveillance test for doors was being prepared. In addition, Burns management had instructed security force supervisors to report any non routine occurrence to management regardless of when it occurs. He added that Burns representatives, from its home i

- s - . I - , . 4 , office, came to the' Peach Bottom facility after the July,1984 security enforcement conference to make recommendations for improvements at the facility. As a result, they recommended that a broader requalification course be implemented and that an assistant trainer be added to the staff. Mr. Weindorfer also advised that the training facilities had been improved and the Burns District Manager has been conducting backshift visits to the facilities. Additionally, a Burns site office had been established near the facility to provide closer interaction with security personnel, a monthly meeting had been initiated between the Plant Superintendent and l the Burns District Manager to discuss problems and to provide a closer interface, and weekly meetings were being held to discuss security force performance. Mr. Weindorfer concluded by saying that an additional person will be added to the staff in about two months to assist the Security Coordinator. Mr. Cooney added that a change in the organization and staffing for the plant was imminent and that the change is intended to provide closer control over contracted activities as well as other improvements in management of the plant. 4. Conclusion Dr. Murley thanked the licensee for the information they provided and for their cooperation and said that the information would be considered in determining the appropriate enforcement action. < l }}
