A.7.      My testimony addresses that portion of League
* Contention 42 which asserts that " obtaining the temporary services of transient workman . . . results in . . . in-creasing the risk of sabotage. . . . "                    .
Q.8.      Are contractor employees allowed to work at Byron Station, after the reactor has loaded fuel, unescorted?
A.8.      No, except under the circumstances described below:
Commonwealth Edison Company mandates that all personnel, who require unescorted access to Byron Station, will undergo pre-employment screening. The screening requirement begins 90 days prior to fuel load.      Individuals are accepted or rejected for unescorted access based on the results of the pre-employment screening.
Q.9.      What are the requirements of the Byron Station con-tractor screening procedure?
A.9.      Contractors working at Byron Station are required to submit a screening procedure to the CECO Nuclear Security Administrator for approval.      The procedure must, as a minimum, contain provisions to:
: 1. Establish a method for evaluating employees who have maintained a trustworthy work record for three continuous years.
: 2. Conduct a background check on all employees who l.
have been employed with the contractor for less than three years which includes:
: a. Contacting prior employers.
l                      b. Contacting personal references.
l
{
: c. Examination by a licensed psychiatrist or physician or other persons professionally trained to identify aberrant behavior, for purpose of observing and disqualifying persons displaying indications of emotional instability such that there is reasonable doubt the person could discharge his duties in a competent manner.
: 3. Establish a continued observation program for all employees, so that supervisors may identify and take appropriate corrective measures when personnel display aberrant behavior.
: 4. Provide for immediate notification, of the ter-mination, of all personnel for whom unescorted access has been requested. Also, to cancel the unescorted access privilege for any individual whose trustworthy status has changed.
: 5. Commit to maintaining proper screening documentation and to making all documentation available to Commonwealth Edison Company and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for audit. The documentation would include, as a minimum:
: a. Current approved copy of the procedure.
: b. Current letter of approval from CECO.
: c. Current letter of authorized signatory officials.
: d. Screening file for each concerned individual.
: e. All current copies of requests for unescorted access.
: f. All copies of cancellations of unescorted access.
: g. Annual certificates of continuous observation.
Q.10.        Does Commonwealth Edison Company check on the effective-ness of contractor screening programs?
A.10.        Yes. Commonwealth Edison must assure that personnel, who have been granted unescorted access to Byron Station, have been screened properly. To this end, the Nuclear Security Administrator has a full time staff member, whose only assignment is to conduct periodic audits of all
 
  .          contractors who require unescorted access to our nuclear plants. This individual can be supplemented with additional staff assistance if required.
Q.ll.      Are there any further checks of this contractor screening procedure?
A.ll.      Yes. Commonwealth Edison's quality assurance department personnel conduct periodic audits of con-tractor screening procedures and practices.
Q.12.      Are there written guidelines for these screening requirements?
A.12.      Yes. The attached screening requirements (Roulo Ex. 1) are furnished to all contractors who will require unescorted access to Byron Station. These requirements outline, in detail, the various rules by which we expect the contractors to satisfy the Commonwealth Edison personnel screening program.
Q.13.      Have these procedures been reviewed by the NRC?
A.13.      Yes. The Byron Station physical security plan has been evaluated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and has been accepted by them.
 
Q.14.      Do you believe that there is increased likeli-hood of industrial sabotage at the Byron Station                                        ,
as a result of the employment of transient workers by contractors performing maintenance tasks at the Station?-
A.14.      No.                I believe that the contractor screening pro-cedure described above provides assurance that there is no increased risk due.to the employment of transient workers.                Only the employees meeting the stringent screening requirements set forth in Roulo Exhibit 1 can Work unescorted at the Byron Station.

A.S. For five years.

l Q.6. What are your duties as deputy Nuclear Security Administrator?

A.6. I administer the employee security screening programs for Commonwealth Edison Company and contractor employees.

l Q.7. Please describe the scope of your testimony.

A.7. My testimony addresses that portion of League

  • Contention 42 which asserts that " obtaining the temporary services of transient workman . . . results in . . . in-creasing the risk of sabotage. . . . " .

Q.8. Are contractor employees allowed to work at Byron Station, after the reactor has loaded fuel, unescorted?

A.8. No, except under the circumstances described below:

Commonwealth Edison Company mandates that all personnel, who require unescorted access to Byron Station, will undergo pre-employment screening. The screening requirement begins 90 days prior to fuel load. Individuals are accepted or rejected for unescorted access based on the results of the pre-employment screening.

Q.9. What are the requirements of the Byron Station con-tractor screening procedure?

A.9. Contractors working at Byron Station are required to submit a screening procedure to the CECO Nuclear Security Administrator for approval. The procedure must, as a minimum, contain provisions to:

1. Establish a method for evaluating employees who have maintained a trustworthy work record for three continuous years.
2. Conduct a background check on all employees who l.

have been employed with the contractor for less than three years which includes:

a. Contacting prior employers.

l b. Contacting personal references.

l

{

c. Examination by a licensed psychiatrist or physician or other persons professionally trained to identify aberrant behavior, for purpose of observing and disqualifying persons displaying indications of emotional instability such that there is reasonable doubt the person could discharge his duties in a competent manner.
3. Establish a continued observation program for all employees, so that supervisors may identify and take appropriate corrective measures when personnel display aberrant behavior.
4. Provide for immediate notification, of the ter-mination, of all personnel for whom unescorted access has been requested. Also, to cancel the unescorted access privilege for any individual whose trustworthy status has changed.
5. Commit to maintaining proper screening documentation and to making all documentation available to Commonwealth Edison Company and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for audit. The documentation would include, as a minimum:
a. Current approved copy of the procedure.
b. Current letter of approval from CECO.
c. Current letter of authorized signatory officials.
d. Screening file for each concerned individual.
e. All current copies of requests for unescorted access.
f. All copies of cancellations of unescorted access.
g. Annual certificates of continuous observation.

Q.10. Does Commonwealth Edison Company check on the effective-ness of contractor screening programs?

A.10. Yes. Commonwealth Edison must assure that personnel, who have been granted unescorted access to Byron Station, have been screened properly. To this end, the Nuclear Security Administrator has a full time staff member, whose only assignment is to conduct periodic audits of all

. contractors who require unescorted access to our nuclear plants. This individual can be supplemented with additional staff assistance if required.

Q.ll. Are there any further checks of this contractor screening procedure?

A.ll. Yes. Commonwealth Edison's quality assurance department personnel conduct periodic audits of con-tractor screening procedures and practices.

Q.12. Are there written guidelines for these screening requirements?

A.12. Yes. The attached screening requirements (Roulo Ex. 1) are furnished to all contractors who will require unescorted access to Byron Station. These requirements outline, in detail, the various rules by which we expect the contractors to satisfy the Commonwealth Edison personnel screening program.

Q.13. Have these procedures been reviewed by the NRC?

A.13. Yes. The Byron Station physical security plan has been evaluated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and has been accepted by them.

Q.14. Do you believe that there is increased likeli-hood of industrial sabotage at the Byron Station ,

as a result of the employment of transient workers by contractors performing maintenance tasks at the Station?-

A.14. No. I believe that the contractor screening pro-cedure described above provides assurance that there is no increased risk due.to the employment of transient workers. Only the employees meeting the stringent screening requirements set forth in Roulo Exhibit 1 can Work unescorted at the Byron Station.
