i 2. Discussion

l

Following introduction of personnel, the NRC presented a sumary of the

licensee's view of the apparent violations and security events were

requested.

l

3. Licensee Presentation

l

The licensee discussed the apparent violations and described mitigating

l factors, corrective actions, and contemplated long-term actions. The l

licensee's corrective actions already taken include: approval of a revised i

security organization thre the Executive Vice-President; initiation of '

work on the protected area barriers; engineering reviews of Unit 1 and

l Unit 2 vital area barriers; and resumption of random "hands-on" searches

of non-regular employees.

The licensee also projected the following long-term corrective actions:

re-evaluation of the security program for conformance to "base-line"

l documents and fundamental criteria, and establishment of a multi-disipline

l team to review vital areas for security effectiveness.

Additionally, the licensee stated that documented evidence could be

provided regarding certain magnetic switches, described as being in

violation with NRC requirements in the Combined Inspection Reports, to

show that they meet NRC requirements.

4. NRC Potition and Conclusion

The NRC expressed concern about the number and nature of the violations

and recent security events as they relate to adequacy of performance,

training, and licensee oversight and supervision of the security organi-

zation.

5. Post Enforcement Conference Communications with the Licensee

Immediately after the enforcement conference, the licensee provided

documented evidence to show that the magnetic switches identified as being

in violation of NRC requirements (Report 50-245/87-22; 50-336/87-20;

50-423/87-18) do, in fact, meet NRC requirements. The NRC representatives

reviewed the information, concurred with the licensee and, therefore,

withdrew the violation.

The licensee, represented by Mr. H. F. Haynes, contacted Mr. T. T. Martin

by telephone on November 4, 1987 to advise him that both the Assistant

Security Supervisor - Administration and the Assistant Security

Supervisor - Operations positions (positions that had previously been

filled on a non permanent basis) had been filled by qualified licensee

pe*sonnel on a permanent basis and that thost- individuals had been fully

instructed on their duties and responsibilities. Mr. Haynes further

advised Mr. Martin that the licensee had fully briefed the security

contractor as to the NRC concerns expressed during the enforcement

conference. As a result of information presented by the licensee during

.

'

the enforcement conference and the additional information presented

during the telephone conversation between Mr. Haynes and Mr. Martin, the

apparent violation pertaining to organizational structure

(50-245/87-22-01; 50-336/S7-20-01; 50-423/87-18-01), t - been withdrawn.

Additionally, a review by NRC personnel of the apparent violation

pertaining to "hands-on" search of non-regular employees t

(50-245/87-22-12; 50-336/87-20-12; 50-423/87-18-12), resulted in a

determination that the searches being conducted at the time of the

inspection, met or exceeded the requirements of the Miscellaneous

Amendments codified by the NRC in August 1986. Therefore, this violation

has been withdrawn,
