SUBJECT:
NRC SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 50-254/99016(DRS); 50-265/99016(DRS)
'
On July 22,1999, the NRC completed a routine, pilot program inspection at your Quad Cities
Nuclear Station. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection. The results of this
i
inspection were discussed with Mr. Wozniak and other members of your staff on that date. A
subsequent telephone discussion with your staff was conducted on August 16,1999, to provide
an updated status of our assessment.
L The inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they relate to
the Safeguards Strategic Performance Area and to compliance with the commission's rules and
,
- regulations.- Within tnis area, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures
and representative records, observation of activities, and interviews with personnel. Specifically,
this inspection focused on performance involving the Physical Protection comerstone.
During this inspection, your staff identified a major discrepancy regarding the accuracy of the
data submitted to the NRC for the Protected Area Security Equipment Performance Index for the
first and second quarters of calender year 1999. A major discrepancy is a problem with the
accuracy or completeness of information that may have affected NRC response because a
' performance indicator was exceeded or because the performance indicator data did not
. accurately reflect plant performance. The original information indicated performance that fell
within the " Licensee Response Band"(green). Our inspection planning and assessment of your
performance was based on that. The revised data inoicated performance in the " increased
j
Regulatory Responte Band"(white),
i
We recognize that your staff identified the problem relating to the accuracy of the performance
k
N
indicator data. We also understand that the security staff will take action to ensure future
4
accuracy. We ' plan to conduct a supplemental inspection to evaluate your corrective actions and
.
the detailed bases for the performance indicator data. Secondly, the revised data indicates that
the performance of some protected area security equipment is different from that previously
reported We understand that you plan to take action to evaluate the equipment and we
acknc;/;dge that compensatory measures were implemented as required by your security plan.
i.
' We plan to conduct a supplemental inspection that will examine your actions, the performance of
the equipment and evaluate the potential impact that performance may have on risk. We will
coordinate the scheduling of our activities prior to initiation.
