d Enclosure to NRC-95-0052 Page1 Response to Notice of Violation 50-341/95006 01 Sintement of Notice of Violation Section 2E of Fermi Facility Operating License No. NPF-43, issued March 20, 1985, and amended August 5,1988, requires that the licensee maintain in effect and fully implement all provisions of the Commission approved Physical Security Plan ard Security Force Training and Qualification Plan.
Section 3.1.2 of the Security Personnel Training and Qualification Plan states that "Watchpersons are examined to determine whether they meet the requirements of 10 CFR 73, Appendix B,l.B.I.a. Section 1.B.I.a of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 73 states that individuals whose security tasks and job duties are directly associated with the effective implementation of the licensee physical security and contingency plans shall have no physical weakness or abnormalities that would adversely affect their performance of assigned security job duties Contrary to this requirement, record reviews of ten watchperson personnel showed that three of the watchpersons were assigned to perform security duties without a physical examination being performed to determine whether they meet the requirements of 10 CFR 73, Appendix B, l.B.I.a.
Reason for the Violation The procedure for Initial Training, Requalification and Firearms Policy was reviewed and it was discovered there was no clear procedural guidance for the medical assessment process of contract officers (watchpersons). Also, the procedure did not define who is responsible for ensuring these assessments are conducted and verified as completed prior to a contract officer assuming security duties. The procedural guidance for Detroit Edison security officers was clear and assigned responsibility for the medical assessment process.
In the past the General Supervisor of Security Operations and the Security Operations Support staff shared the responsibility for ensuring the medical assessments were completed. This was accomplished by having the prospective contract officer complete a medical history questiennaire (physical assessment form) on the first day of security training. The completed form was then forwarded by the security training staff to the General Supervisor who in turn forwarded the completed form to the company medical department for a medical evaluation and determination of the need for any additional examinations or evaluations. The results of the assessment were then transmitted to the General Supervisor in the fonn of a letter from the company medical department that ,
would document the contract officers' medical fitness to perform security duties I (i.e., medical awessment). Ilowever, during this particular time period the
, o Enclosure to NRC-954052 Page 2 General Supervisor was on a temporary assignment and the individual that assumed the position was not aware of the process.
Corrective Actions Taken ami the Results Achieved The contract officers involved were removed from duty immediately upon discovery that their medical assessment documentation was incomplete. The l
medical department conducted a records search to determine if the required medical history form was completed. This records search produced negative results. The officers involved completed the required questionnaire and the forms were forwarded to the company medical department for evaluation.
I Subsequently, the contract officers were certified by the medical department and returned to duty. The medical evaluation letters were placed in each contract officer's training file. A review of the medical assessments of all contract l officers was conducted by the security organization. Medical evaluation letters were available for all other contract officers. These letters were placed in each contract officer's training file.
The Supervisor, Security Operations Support has assumed all responsibilities for ensuring medical assessments for contract officers are completed prior to i performing security duties. The training checklist that is used to verify each officers completion of required training was revised to include an item for l completion of the physical assessment form. The security staff responsible for conducting initial training was briefed on the changes to the checklist.
Corrective Actions Taken to Prevent Recurrence The procedure for Initial Training, Recualification and Firearms Policy was revised to include the physical assessment requirements for contract officers prior to an officer assuming security duties. This is accomplished by an enclosure to the procedure that details the requirements of initial security training.
The procedure revision also assigns the Supervisor, Security Operations Support, j the responsibility of ensuring physical assessments are completed. The company I i
medical department was informed by the General Supervisor that all medical I assessment results will be forwarded to the Supervisor, Security Operations
( Support.
Date When Full Cornpliance Willlle Achieved Full compliance was achieved on May 4,1995 when the revision to Initial r Training, Requalification and Firearms Policy procedure was approved.
