SUBJECT:
PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION CONFIRMATORY ACTION LETTER STATUS INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 05000277/2008008 and 05000278/2008008
Dear Mr. Pardee:
On June 6, 2008, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection, at your Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS) Units 2 and 3, to determine your progress in meeting the commitments documented in the Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) dated October 19, 2007. The CAL had been issued to formalize Exelon's agreement to complete certain actions in response to the inattentive security officers and safety conscious work environment (SCWE) issues at PBAPS. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on June 6, 2008, with Mr. J. Grimes, Site Vice President, and other members of your staff.
Since the completion of the Augmented Inspection Teams (September 21 through 28, 2007 and November 5 through 9, 2007) were conducted and the PBAPS CAL was issued, the NRC has devoted extensive efforts to monitor your actions in response to the inattentive security officers and safety conscious work environment (SCWE) issues at PBAPS. Specific activities conducted included: inspection of the transition from contract security force to in-house security force (February 11-15, 2008); review of your root cause evaluation effectiveness (March 3-7, 2008); and an inspection of activities directly related to safety conscious work environment (March 24 - 28, 2008). These prior inspection activities also verified Exelon's actions taken to address various CAL commitments.
The CAL status inspection team focused on actions taken by Exelon as specified in the CAL to determine whether such actions were timely, complete and effective. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified and the enclosed inspection report closes all but two CAL items. One CAL item related to Exelon's commitment to perform security organization SCWE surveys across the Exelon fleet remains open. As noted in the CAL, the NRC will schedule a meeting with Exelon upon the completion of your review for this action to discuss the safety conscious work environment (SCWE) survey results as they apply to other Exelon sites. The second CAL item related to Exelon submitting written confirmation that all CAL items have been completed, remains open.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publically Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Background On September 10, 2007, representatives of WCBS-TV (New York City) contacted the NRC stating that they possessed videotapes of inattentive security officers at the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS). Based upon this information, the NRC enhanced inspection oversight of security activities at Peach Bottom and verbally informed Exelon management who commenced an internal investigation. On September 19, 2007, the NRC viewed the video of inattentive security officers and immediately initiated an Augmented Inspection Team (AIT) to investigate this issue. The AIT concluded that Exelon's prompt compensatory measures and corrective actions in response to the inattentive security officers were adequate and ensured the station's ability to meet Security Plan requirements. On October 4, 2007, Exelon documented their prompt compensatory measures and planned corrective actions in a letter to the NRC (NRC ADAMS Accession Number ML072850708).
In Exelon's October 4, 2007, letter to the NRC Region I Regional Administrator, Exelon described completed compensatory actions and 16 planned actions to address the inattentive security officer issue. The planned actions included, in part:
- (1) terminating the security contract with their contractor and transitioning to a proprietary security force;
- (2) completing a root cause analysis of the security officer inattentiveness;
- (3) identifying corrective actions; and
- (4) performing safety conscious work environment (SCWE)surveys of the Peach Bottom Security organization. On October 19, 2007, the NRC issued a Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) (ML072920283) to document Exelon's commitments. The CAL included the commitments documented in Exelon's letter and added several additional Exelon commitments that were verbally made to the NRC. The commitments are listed in Attachment B of this report.
On June 2 - 6, 2008, the NRC conducted a team inspection to verify whether the actions taken by Exelon adequately addressed the commitments documented in the CAL.
This inspection was conducted in accordance with a deviation from the Reactor Oversight Program as authorized by the NRC Executive Director of Operations (ML073320344).
The results of this inspection are documented in this report.
.1 Random Observations of Various Aspects of the Security Program (Attachment B, Item 1) (IP 92702)
Inspection Scope Exelon committed to conducting five observations in a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period, seven days per week, by Exelon Corporate Security and security management personnel from other sites. Random observations included verifying attentiveness at security ready rooms and other posts. The inspectors reviewed PBAPS records of Exelon Corporate daily random security program observations performed until November 18, 2007, to determine whether observations were conducted and whether any adverse trends were identified or documented. The inspectors performed interviews of security department management to better understand Exelon's programs and processes for identifying issues related to inattentiveness, behavior observation, and SCWE. Additionally, the inspectors conducted 63 interviews with security officers to determine their understanding of making proper notifications to station management upon discovery of an inattentive officer, aberrant behavior, and recognition of behaviors adverse to the safe operation and security of the facility.
Findings and Observations No findings of significance were identified. This CAL item is closed.
The inspectors reviewed Exelon's letter (ML073040516) to the NRC dated October 25, 2007 and the NRC's response to this letter (ML073370024) dated November 30, 2007. The letters were regarding a missed observation on October 20, 2007. The inspectors concluded that this one missed observation by corporate security management was of minor significance and did not impact the overall implementation of this commitment.
With the exception of the item noted above, the inspectors determined that the daily random security program observations were all completed in accordance with the CAL. Interviews with security operations staff identified an effective level of understanding and ownership of the importance of attentiveness. Inspector-led interviews conducted with selected officers and staff confirmed that security personnel were knowledgeable of behaviors adverse to attentiveness. Observations of post assignment areas revealed that security posts, ready rooms, and alarm stations were orderly, properly lit, well ventilated, and fully functional. Furthermore, the security officers conveyed a fundamental understanding of the importance of prompt communication with management regarding behavior observation.
.2 Daily Observations of Various Security Posts (Attachment B, Item 2)
Inspection Scope
Exelon committed to conduct and document daily management observations of various security posts chosen at random. Additionally, site management committed to visit the ready room at least once per day, 7 days per week, including at least one backshift visit per week until November 20, 2007. The inspectors performed numerous walk-downs of all security posts, ready rooms and alarm stations. The inspectors examined records of daily observations of various security posts from October 18, 2007, through November 20, 2007. The inspectors performed observations, interviewed individuals, and verified records to ensure that the observations were effectively conducted and documented.
Findings and Observations No findings of significance were identified. This CAL item is closed.
The inspectors verified that Exelon site management had performed all actions detailed in the CAL.
.3 Alarm Station and Shift Turnover Observations (Attachment B, Item 3)
Exelon committed to conducting observations of the Central Alarm Station (CAS) and the Secondary Alarm Station (SAS), as well as one security shift turnover per month by the Peach Bottom Site Vice President and the Plant Manager until March 2008. The inspectors reviewed records from October 19, 2007, through May 29, 2008, and performed interviews with the Plant Manager and Site Vice President to determine if the observations of the CAS, SAS, and shift turnovers were effective. The inspectors performed walk-downs of the CAS and SAS, interviewed seven alarm station operators, and several security officers to determine if the observations made by the Site Vice President and/or Plant Manager provided reinforcement of expectations related to attentiveness.
Findings and Observations No findings of significance were identified. This CAL item is closed.
The inspectors verified that Site Vice President and Plant Manager had performed all actions detailed in the CAL. The results of interviews with CAS and SAS operators indicated a strong understanding of management's expectations of attentiveness and proper timely reporting of such issues to management.
.4 Wackenhut Corporate Security Management Oversight and Observations
Inspection Scope (Attachment B, Item 4)
The inspectors verified through a review of plant records that:
- (a) Wackenhut corporate security management had provided 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> supervisory coverage of security activities at the plant through the transition to an Exelon proprietary security force;
- (b) Wackenhut provided site security management oversight above normal staffing to the day and night shifts;

Findings and Observations No findings of significance were identified. This CAL item is closed.
The inspectors confirmed that Region I management participated in numerous weekly telephone calls and discussed the status and relevant details of the transition to an Exelon managed security organization.
.6 Sixteen Commitments in an Exelon Letter Dated October 4, 2007 (Attachment B, Items 6a through 6p)
Inspection Scope The inspectors verified that Exelon had completed a root cause evaluation (IR 673505)and identified corrective actions to address the inattentive security officer issue (Attachment B, Item 6a). The inspectors reviewed post inspection forms, vital area patrol records and post activity logs for all assigned posts and locations from October 4, 2007, through June 2, 2008, to verify that security officers were not assigned to a single post for an entire shift (Item 6b). The inspectors reviewed fleet corrective actions to ensure post rotations had been reviewed at the remaining Exelon Nuclear operating reactor sites (Item 6d).
The inspectors conducted interviews with officers at security posts to assess the effectiveness of attentiveness stimuli (Item 6c). Additionally, the inspectors verified that attentiveness stimuli projects had been fully implemented or were scheduled to be implemented (Item 6g). The inspectors reviewed the common Exelon procedures to verify that authorized attentiveness aids were described and that their use at each post (Ready Room, Over-watch, etc.) was clearly stated and authorized.
The inspectors confirmed that Exelon has established a new division to manage security organization at Peach Bottom (Item 6h). The inspectors also reviewed condition reports that described incidents which warranted reporting to security management. Specifically, the inspectors focused on incidents where inappropriate behavior was witnessed by security officers on shift and reported to management. The inspectors reviewed documentation of communications to the balance of the Peach Bottom Station staff regarding expectations for reporting issues (Item 6i).
The inspectors conducted interviews and reviewed records to understand Exelon's methods to return security officers to duty following the inattentiveness issue (Item 6e). Corrective action records were reviewed to ensure indoctrination sessions for understanding Behavioral Observation Program (BOP) and SCWE were conducted with all security force members (Item 6f). The inspectors visited posts to verify that structural improvements, lighting enhancements, and temperature controls were conducive to maintaining security officer attentiveness (Item 6j).
The inspectors reviewed training records to verify that refresher training for the Peach Bottom security organization and for the remainder of Exelon Nuclear reactor sites had been implemented (Item 6k). The inspectors verified that lesson plans stressed expectations regarding the BOP, SCWE, and maintaining attentiveness while on duty.
The inspectors verified that face-to-face interviews were conducted with security force supervisors to reinforce expectations related to attentiveness and actions to take if someone is found in an inattentive state, and to solicit feedback on challenges to maintaining attentiveness and raising issues (Item 6l). The inspectors also verified that supervisory training was conducted for security force supervisors regarding their responsibilities for maintaining a SCWE (Item 6m).
The inspectors verified that a SCWE survey of the Peach Bottom security organization by an external vendor had been conducted (Item 6n). The inspectors verified that the results of the SCWE survey were evaluated by Exelon and were the basis of a focused self assessment (Item 6o).
The inspectors also reviewed Exelon's plans for conducting SCWE surveys of the security organizations at other Exelon sites (Item 6p). As noted in the CAL, the NRC will schedule a meeting with Exelon upon the completion of their review for this action to discuss the safety conscious work environment (SCWE) survey results as they apply to other Exelon sites.
Findings and Observations No findings of significance were identified. The CAL Items 6a through 6o are closed. The CAL item 6p, for conducting SCWE surveys of the security organizations at other Exelon sites, remains open. Exelon has corrective actions assigned to track completion of these surveys. All surveys are expected to be completed by October 2008.
Exelon created an in-house proprietary security division to manage the security organization at Peach Bottom. The inspectors reviewed procedures and records to ensure no security officer had been assigned to a single post for an entire shift. Steps had been taken in the post assignments to ensure that the officers' duties provide for a change in location, variety of responsibilities, and appropriate breaks to prevent inattentiveness.
Exelon conducted face to face interviews with security force supervisors to reinforce expectations related to inattentiveness; actions to be taken if someone was found to be inattentive; and, the mechanism to solicit feedback on challenges to maintaining attentiveness. Exelon included topics such as behavioral observation training, security officer attentiveness, aberrant behavior identification, and notification expectations and requirements in these interviews. The inspectors determined that communications to reinforce expectations of reporting issues for the balance of the Peach Bottom staff were complete.
The inspectors concluded that the security staff had a sound understanding of Exelon management's expectations of reporting unusual behavior or actions that could indirectly pose a risk to public health and safety. Specifically, the inspectors noted that the security staff was willing to report operational and safety issues at a low threshold. The officers were fully cognizant of communicating early and clearly with management regarding BOP, SCWE, and inattentiveness.
.7 Exelon Will Provide Written Confirmation to the NRC When These Actions Are Completed (Attachment B, Item 7)
The inspectors verified through interviews that Exelon will provide written confirmation of all CAL items when the remaining SCWE surveys at all Exelon sites have been completed.
Findings and Observations No findings of significance were identified.
This CAL item remains open.
