CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND RESULTS ACHIEVED As a result of the identified deficiencies, procedure 20SP-0ZZ0 7, "CAS/SAS Operations Procedure," was revised and is now in the review and approval cycle. Interim measures have been established to require that security personnel . An evaluation was conducted to determine the root cause of this deficiency.

revealed situations at thits 1 and 2 which were not reported to NRC in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 73.71(c).

Further, footnote 4 to this paragraph indicates in part, tha t the term properly compensated, means measures as specified in the security or contingency plans, or if the event is not specified in either of these plans, it means measures implemented within 10 minutes of an event's occurrence that provides a level of security equivalent to that existing before the event.

ATTACHMENT (CONT'D) 1 APPARENT VIOLATION NO. 50-528/86-07-03 A review of the licensee's Security Incident Reports determined that on i several occasions listed in the following table, security component failures, i
which provided an avenue for unauthorized access, were properly compensated for when discovered by the licensee but were not reported to the NRC.

CORRECTIVE STEPS WICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND RESULTS. ACHIEVED _
As a ' result of the apparent deficiencies described above an evaluation was conducted to determine the root cause. It was determined that two factors have contributed to the overall confusion and subsequently, to not submitting the required reporta. -
Ihe current written guidance provided by the NRC is not concise and can lead to misinterpretations. However, the primary cause for not reporting- the incidents described above was misinterpretation by ANPP personnel of the regulatory requirements addressing this area.N As a result of this evaluation an Event Reporting Manual has been developed by ANPP which clarifies the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 73.71(c).
Kay security department personnel have been trained on the requirements and copies of the manual have been issued to the Central Alarm Station (CAS) for reference.
II.
CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH WILL BE TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER ITEMS OF NONCOMLIANCE In addition to the development of the Event Reporting Manual, identified potentially repartable incidents are now being reviewed by both ANPP and Security Compliance personnel. These independent evaluations will provide a second level review and should ensure compliance with 10 CFR
,, 73. 71(c) .
III. THE DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE WILL BE ACHIEVED
' . Based upon conversations with NRC Region V personnel the specific events
- " identified above will not be reported. 1herefore, full compliance was achieved on March 7, 1986 with the issuance of the revised Event
,, Reporting Manual and the completion of personnel training.

Two apparent violations were identified.

deficiencies, they have either been physically usaraded or administratively downgraded through the implementation of ~
The root cause of this issue is attributed to two tacrohs. Revisions to the Security Plan on October 1984 (Amendment 7) 3 and on August 1985 (Amendment 8) which revised the commitments for the installation of barriers, and a potential misinterpretation of these revised.. commitments which were used -during "walkdowns" and subsequent evaluations. Although deficiencies have been identified, ANPP Management's concern in this area is evident. ANPP conducted internal walkdowns which identified and initiated corrective actions for three (3) of the five (5) barriers described in the inspection report.
Additionally, an independent firm was contracted to evaluate the security barriers on two separate occasions.
II.
THE CORRECTIVE STEPS WHICH WILL BE TAKEN TO AVOID FURTHER ITEMS OF
' NONCOMPLIANCE In response to the identified concerns ANPP has initiated engineering walkdowns to evaluate existing barriers. The criteria being used during this evaluation has been verified to comply with the current commitments
' as defined in the Security Plan , Amendment 10 issued February 1986.
-Ba rriers identified as potentially deficient will be documented, properly compensated for and reworked as necessary. 1 1
III. THE DATE WHEN FULL COMPLIANCE WILL BE ACHIEVED The valkdowns will be completed for Units 1 and 2 by April 30, 1986.
Evaluations and necessary rework is expected to be completed by May 30, 1986. Unit 3 barriers will be evaluated prior to full implementation of the Security Plan.
