Gentlemen:

Thank you for your letter of February 1,1988, informing NRC of your

implementation schedule to modify the. perimeter security system using a design

basis study to determine a comprehensive perimeter security system.

This

response supplements your response of December 21, 1987, to our letter and'

Notice of Violation dated November 19, 1987. We have reviewed your imple-

mentation schedule and have no questions at this time. We will review the

proposed modifications to your perimeter security system during a future

inspection to determine that the implementation schedule is being achieved and

will be maintained.

Until the perimeter security system is upgraded, we will

-expect effective compensatory measures to be utilized as required.

Sincerely,

Citical Signed By:

SUBJECT:

License No. DPR-51 and NPF-6

Followup to Response to

Inspection Raport 50-313/87-31; 50-368/87-31

l

Dear Mr. Calian:

Ouring the inspection conducted by Mr. R. A. Caldwell of your office during

the period September 21 - 25, 1987 (Inspection Report 50-313/87-31;

50-368/87-31), a violation was identified concerning a deficiency in the

E-field perimeter alarm system.

In response to this violation, Arkansas Power and Light stated that a proposed

modification was being tested and would be installed on the majority of the

E-field if determined to be satisfactory.

This modification did prove

adequate and has been installed where applicable.

!

However, certain sections of the E-field perimeter alarm system did not lend

l

themselves to this particular modification.

Arkansas Power and Light

initially proposed evaluating these sections on a case-by-case basis and

I

l

submitting to the NRC a schedule for the completion of modifications to these

'

sections.

However, it has been recognized that the approach to resolving

deficiencies with the perimeter security system has historically been on a

case-by-cas9 basis, dealing only with the specific problem that has been

!

identified. Therefore, rather than simply devising a fix for the immediate

l

problem with the E-field perimeter alarm system, Arkansas Power and Light

I

has chosen to take a more comprehensive approach to the entire perimeter

l

security system, which includes the intrusion detection system (E-field and

microwave), the surveillance equipment, and the physical barrier associated

with the perimeter.

The objective of this Perimeter Security System

Improvement Project is improvement of the system using a programmatic approach

q

instead of a problem-oriented approach,

• OCAN028801

.

The first step towards accomplishing this objective will be the development

of a design basis for this portion of the security program.

This proposed

document will contain a compilation of the design criteria to be used for

the E-field, microweve, cameras, fence and certain special areas.

These

special areas include loading docks, major personnel entrances into the

plant, and vehicular entrance points.

It will also include major design

criteria on support systems for the above, for example, power distribution

systems and lighting levels in the isolation zone.

To aid in the

development of this basis, past inspection reports and reviews of other

utility programs will be used as well as internal and external security

,

experts.

Upon approval of the design basis, the next step will be to conduct a review

of the perimeter security system.

The existing systems will be compared to

the new design basis and deviations identified, grouped, and prioritized.

The resolution may include modifications and/or revision to the industrial

security plan. At this stage past problems will be factored in and resolved,

including the existing deficiency in the E-field perimeter alarm system.

After this review an action plan to accomplish the necessary modifications

will be developed.

Resolutions will be accomplished in a timely

manner consistent with their individual significance and complexity.

The following schedule has been developed for implementing this project:

Design Basis Document (Draft)

February 15, 1988

Approval of Design Basis

March 7, 1988

System Review

March 31, 1988

Action Plan Developed

April 18, 1988

Approval of Action Plan

June 2, 1988

The action plan and inplementation schedule will be provided for your

information by June 17, 1988.

Until the E-field perimeter alarm system deficiency is corrected for the

!

entire system, sections that are deficient will remain posted.

l

Very truly your
