The open house will consist of tours of the Protected Area and oflimited Vital Areas utilizing established and controlled tour routes. Tours will be conducted between 7:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on October 11,1997.

CPS has evaluated the Physical Security Plar. and will take compensatory measures to ensure that the requirements of the Physical Security Plan concerning access requirements and ewort requirements in both the protected area and vital area will remain in place. Additionally, clean areas will be established within the power block to enable a relaxation of radiological control measures. Alternative measu es will be established to enable effective site evacuation of visitors participating in the open house.

The specific details of the open house are included in the attachment to this letter. The plans for the open house have been discussed by Mr. C. S Williamson, Clinton Power Station, Assistant Supervisor - Security, and Terry Madeda of your staff. j

[ 0300 hours0.00347 days <br />0.0833 hours <br />4.960317e-4 weeks <br />1.1415e-4 months <br />. The CSP will remain operational during the open house for the purpose of 1 processing family members into the protected area. 1 Within the protected area, the tour route will consist of entering the power block through either the Senice Building door or the north Radwaste Building door. Non-vital areas authorized to tour within the protected area include the Radwaste Building elevation 737',

the Maintenance shops and offices on elevation 762', the Service Building, and the Plant Support Building. Within the Power Block, physical barriers will be constmetel to establish a clean area. Additionally, Radiation Protection and Security Force Members (SFM) will be patrolling the tour route. Dosimetry will not be issued to family members due to establishment of radiological"cled' areas. All family members and their escort I

will process through the CSP Gamma-10 personnel contamination monitors +r to exiting the protected area.

The vital areas authorized to be toured will be the Division II Diesel Generator on the 737' elevation of the Diesel Generator Building and the 828' elevation of the Containment

, Building. To facilitate the tour of the vital areas, five SFMs and one plant employee will

be utilized to maintain integrity of the physical barriers designating the vital area tour route; two armed SFMs will be posted by security door 429 to verify proper access authorization and to log personnelin/out; one armed SFM will be posted in the Control Building elevator to ensure no one deviates from the tour route; one SFM will be posted at the physical barrier at 828' elevation of control outside the entrance to Containment; l and one SFM will be posted inside 828' Containment In addition, one plant employee j will be positioned inside 737' elevation of Diesel Generator to observe the physical barrier set up to view the Division II Diesel. Zone 1 access is required to enter power block vital areas. This effort will serve as a record of everyone entermg the vital area and combined with SFMs obsening the barriers and running the elevator will adequately provide observation of the Containment boundary down to 737' elevation of the Control Building.

Physical barriers will be provided along the tour route to prevent straying from the established tour routes.

The SFMs positioned et the above locations provide continual observation of the physical barrier. In accordance with the Physical Security Plan, the visitor / escort ratio of five to one will be maintained in the vital area and ten to one in the protected area. Escorts will be employees who, through normal duties at CPS, have been granted the appropriate sital area access. In the event of an emergency or the unavailability of the west Control Building elevator, the stairwell immediately adjacent to the elevator will be available as a clean area, radiologically. If necessary, SFMs will be posted at each elevation of the stairwell between 737' and 828' to prevent straying from the tour route and to maintain barrier integrity.

l e , l Attachment l to U-602816 Page 2 of 2 Specifically designed visitor badges stating " Escort Required At All Times" will be utilized to control visitors during the protected area tours. These visitors badges have been specially numbered and will provide adequate accountacility in the event of an evacuation.

Information regarding visitor / escort responsibilities will be presented to both the visitor and to the escort through the issuance of an Escort Brierng Card designated for the tour only. Prior to entering the protected area, all personnel will be logged into the protected -

area.

Family members participating in the tour will be pre-identified on Visitor Access Logs, thereby facilitating the processing of visitors. Additionally, a member of CPS Security management will be positioned at the Craft Security Portal for the duration of the tour Security Force Members will be advised to be especially alert for fitness for duty evaluations.
