AiSTRACT (Um<t to 1400 spaces, te. approximately fifteen singhe-space typewntten tsnes)(16) l On 12/07/98 at approximately 1515 hours0.0175 days <br />0.421 hours <br />0.0025 weeks <br />5.764575e-4 months <br />, with Units 1 & 2 at 99% power and l Unit 3 at 0% power, a security officer discovered an uncontrolled " Safeguards Information" drawing in the Unit #3 Cable Room immediately adjacent to Security Termination Box "TB-4". The security officer took possession of the drawing and notified the Security Shift Supervisor. The uncontrolled

" Safeguards Information" drawing was associated with an ongoing station modification to install a new plant security computer system. Use of the drawing was required to transition the tamper alarm for Security Termination Box "TB-4" to the plant security computer (PSC). This work was completed on 12/06/98 at 1104 hours0.0128 days <br />0.307 hours <br />0.00183 weeks <br />4.20072e-4 months <br />. Investigation established that the drawing was used at Termination Box "TB-4" and documented as returned to the designated

" Safeguards Information" storage container on 12/05/98 at 1712 hours0.0198 days <br />0.476 hours <br />0.00283 weeks <br />6.51416e-4 months <br />.

However, the investigation could not conclusively establish the circumstances l

which resulted in the drawing being found uncontrolled in the Unit #3 Cable l Room. The root cause of this event is " inappropriate action" (failure to L follow established procedures and policies for control of Safeguards

Information). Corrective actions for this event include: prohibiting two employees involved in the event from being allowed independent and unrestricted access to " Safeguards Information"; and implementing a more restrictive access policy for accessing " Safeguards Information" storage l containers.

Oconee Nuclear Station, Unit 1998 S-03 0 2 OF 10 EVALUATION: I l

Backcround l

Installation of the new plant security computer has required that drawings l classified as " Safeguards Information" be used in the field by craft personnel to perform various installation activities.

Craft implementation personnel who are designated to have independent and unrestricted access to " Safeguards Information" are trained as a Safeguards

" Routine User" in accordance with section 206.6.2.1 of Duke Power Nuclear  ;

System Directive (NSD) 206, " Safeguards and Information Control". Craft  ;

implementation personnel who are not trained as a Safeguards " Routine User" may, in accordance with section 206.6.2.2 of NSD 206, view or work with Safeguards Information under the direction of a Safeguards " Routine User".

To facilitate field work associated with the installation of the new plant security computer, craft personnel were provided with a designated safeguards storage container within the Engineering Safeguards Work Area; a location within the site protected area. Unrestricted access to this container is limited to craft personnel designated as a Safeguards " Routine User", the lead Oconee Security Computer Replacement Project Modification Engineer and the Oconee Site Safeguards Administrator. Controls associated with the safeguards storage container include the use of a container open/ closed log, document sign in/out log, and double verification that the container has been properly locked when the need for access no longer exists. When not locked in the designated storage container, as required by section 206.7.1 of NSD 206, " Safeguards Information" must be under the control of an authorized person; a Safeguards " Routine User".

The uncontrolled " Safeguards Information" drawing was discovered in the Unit #3 Cable Room, immediately adjacent to Security Termination Box "TB-4". The Unit #3 Cable Room is a vital area that is provided with alarmed i security controlled access doors.

The uncontrolled " Safeguards Information" drawing depicted the "as built" wiring schematics and power device information for Security Termination +

Boxes #1, #2, #3 and #4. The drawing did not depict four (4) engineering l c%nges associated with the tamper alarm for each termination box that were  ;

made as part of the plant security computer modification. The wiring and power supplies depicted on the uncontrolled drawing are located within  ;

signal supervised and alarmed cabinets with access controlled by Oconee l Site Security. l As required by section 206.7.11 of NSD 206, " Safeguards and Information l Control", the loss or compromise of " Safeguards Information" shall be j reported to the site safeguards Administrator or, if unavailable, Site  ;

Security. Training given to Safeguards " Routine Users" states that, "If l documents are lost, misplaced or otherwise compromised, immediately contact i the Security shift Supervisor."

Another event involving Safeguards Information (SGI) occurred on March 3, 1998 when a safeguards container in the engineering safeguards work area was not properly locked and secured (Ref. PIP 4-0-98-1025).

" Safeguards Information" drawing 798-08-E "As Built". At the time of discovery, the drawing was folded and laying flat on the floor immediately adjacent to Security Termination Box  !

"TB-4". The Security Officer took possession of the drawing, reviewed the immediate area for additional uncontrolled  !

drawings and notified the Security Shift Supervisor.

l Conclusion  !

The licensee investigation into this event could not conclusively determine j how drawing 798-08-E "As Built" came to be found by Security in the Unit #3 J Cable Room on 12/06/98 at 1515 hours0.0175 days <br />0.421 hours <br />0.0025 weeks <br />5.764575e-4 months <br />. However, contrary to the employee's statements, the most plausible explanation is that the drawing was inadvertently.left in the Unit #3 Cable Room by Employee #3 after work was  ;

completed on Security Termination Box "TB-4" on 12/06/98 at 1110 hours0.0128 days <br />0.308 hours <br />0.00184 weeks <br />4.22355e-4 months <br />. l This assumption is supported by: 1

1. The licensee determination that " Safeguards Information" drawing 798-08-E "As Built" was properly returned to the Craft Safeguards Container i on 12/05/98 at 1712 hours0.0198 days <br />0.476 hours <br />0.00283 weeks <br />6.51416e-4 months <br />.

I 2.

Numerous inconsistencies that were identified during separate interviews with Employee #3 concerning the disposition of " Safeguards Information" drawing 798-08-E "As Built" on 12/06/98 between 0845 and l 1230 hours0.0142 days <br />0.342 hours <br />0.00203 weeks <br />4.68015e-4 months <br />.

In the absence of-an absolute determination of how " Safeguards Information" drawing 798-08-E "As Built" came to be located in the Unit #3 Cable Room, the most probable root cause of this event is the inappropriate action of Employee #3 by failing to follow established policies and procedures to properly maintain control of the " Safeguards Information" drawing.

1. The " Safeguards Information" drawing was controlled by Oconee Site Security upon discovery.

2. A " Heightened Awareness" was issued to the Oconee Site Security Force for unannounced alarms on field devices associated with the potentially compromised " Safeguards Information" drawing 798-08-E "As Built". This

" Heightened Awareness" was continued throughout the investigation of this incident and was discontinued on 12/21/98.

3. An inventory of the Craf t Storage Container was conducted in which it was verified by craft personnel that no other " Safeguards Information" drawings were missing.

4. The lock to the Craf t safeguards container was changed by the Site Safeguards Administrator and the new lock combination provided to Employee #7, the lead Oconee Security Computer Replacement Project Modification Engineer, and Employee #8, the craft Security Computer Replacement Project Implementation Supervisor.

Subseauent:

1. On 12/08/98, an individual was trained and designated as the point of contact for issuing and retrieving " Safeguards Information" documents from the Craft Safeguards Container. Designated points of contact will continue to be utilized for issuance of " Safeguards Information" documents from the Craft safeguards Container until the plant security computer modification is completed and/or use of the Craft Safeguards Container is no longer required for the storage of " Safeguards Information" documents.

2. On ' 12 /16 / 9 8, based upon information obtained during the course of the
