NEBRASKA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT COOPER NUCLEAR STATION SAFEGUARDS PLAN REVISION 44 July 9, 2003
CHAPTER 1 SECURITY ORGANIZATION 1.1 Security Organization 1.1.1 Organization The General Manager of Site Support, who reports to the VP-Plant Support, has overall responsibility for managing the security force and administering the Safeguards Plan. Outside of normal working hours, the Station Shift Supervisor will normally assume these responsibilities (see Attachment "A"). Their responsibilities include the authority to suspend any or all portions of this plan during nuclear safety related emergencies; if the action is needed immediately to protect the health and safety of the public and no action consistent with license conditions and the technical specifications, that can provide adequate or equivalent protection, is immediately apparent.
Suspension of safeguards measures must be reported in accordance with 10 CFR 73.71 unless a report has been made under 10 CFR 50.72. During periods when the General Manager of Site Support is unavailable, he may delegate his responsibilities, verbally or in writing, to a designee. If there are any changes made to vital area boundaries or the status of vital area doors or locks the General Manager of Site Support shall initiate a review of the Security Plan, Contingency Plan and procedures to ensure that the changes do not impact plant or personnel safety. An annual review of the Security Plan, Contingency Plan and procedures shall be conducted to evaluate their potential impact on plant and personnel safety.
The Security Manager, who reports directly to the General Manager of Site Support, and his staff are responsible for the daily operations of the security guard force and the implementation of the Safeguards Plan. A Security Shift Supervisor will be on duty directing all activities of the guard force shift on duty. A Security Shift Supervisor will not be assigned any routine tasks and therefore will always be available to direct the guard shift.
He will also provide functional and administrative direction and coordinate security activities with the Station Shift Supervisor during non-normal working hours.

CHAPTER 13 SECURITY AUDITS 13.1 Program Compliance Audits The monitoring program for station security presently used by the Quality Assurance Department is described in the Quality Assurance Plan. Independent site audits are conducted by the Quality Assurance Department. The Q.A. Manager is independent of Station Management reporting directly to the General Manager of Nuclear Performance Analysis. Audits and surveillance are conducted annually to cover the following types of activities:
I. Qualification of security procedures, including:
- a. Checkout of security procedures through periodic training drills.
- b. Training of personnel in use of procedures and equipment.
- c. Periodic review of procedures to verify that they continue to be adequate or to develop necessary changes in procedures.
- 2. Uniform logs and procedures for recording security and visitor control activities.
- 3. Use of seals and locks to prevent or provide evidence of tampering and other security equipment specified in 10CFR73.55.
- 4. Regular inspection tours of physical security provisions.
- 5. Pre-arranged system of communicating significant events to station management on an immediate basis.
- 6. Prompt and direct administrative review of, and corrective action for, violations or breakdowns in security plans and activities.
Audits of the above activities are performed in accordance with detailed checklists. Due to the proprietary information involved in the above audit, distribution may be limited to the General Manager of Site Support, the Q.A. Manager at CNS, the General Manager of Nuclear Performance Analysis, SRAB Administrator, the Site Vice President and the Vice President-Nuclear.
