Attachment to TXX-93092 Page 1 of 2 HQllCE OF VIOLATION 445/9250-04 446/9250-04 License Condition 2.H of the CPSES, Unit 1, facility Operating License states, in part, "TU Electric shall fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Physical Security Plan... previously approved by the Commission...."
Paragraph 3.1 of the licensee's Physical Security Plan states, in part.
"CPSES has established and maintains an access authorization program with the objective of prov Ming high assurance that the individuals granted unescorted access to
> Protected and Vital Areas are trustworthy and reliable and do not pa e a threat to commit radiological sabotage.
In order to evaluate eligibility and support the above requirements, the access authorization program complies with the following: 10 CFR 73.56, Regulatory Guide 5.66, and 10 CFR 26."
10 CFR 26.22(a)(4) and 73.56(b)(2)(i) require, in part, that licensees train supervisory personnel in behavioral observation techniques for detecting degradation of performance, impairment, and changes in employee behavior which, if left unattended, could lead to acts detrimental to public health and safety.
Licensee Procedure STA-910, paragraph 6.1.1, states that all TV and contractor employee supervisors shall receive initial and annual recurring training in behavioral observation.
Contrary to the above, on October 27, 1992, it was determined that 20 contractor supervisors had not received initial behavior observation training and that 21 contractor supervisors had not received annual recurring behavior observation training.
