At approximately 0615 on 2/12/97, the off-going (mids) duty Firefighter identified that the firefighters shift ksy ring was missing. The shift key ring contains a security master key. A search of the immediate office Ersa was parformed with no success. The mids duty Firefighter called Security to inquire if anyone had found "any" keys, but never identified to Security that the missing keys in question were the firefighters shift key ring that contained a security master key. The inquiry that the mids Firefighter made to Security about missing keys was misinterpreted by the days Fire Brigade Leader that Security had been notified about the lost fir: fighters key ring, At 0750, during the briefing for a Containment entry, the day shift Firefighter discussed tha missing keys with the Security Officer present. The Security Officer stated that he was not aware of any missing keys. The day Firefighter notified the day Fire Brigade Leader that it appeared that Security had not been properly informed of the missing firefighter key ring. Security was notified by the Fire Brigade Leader and Security notified the Operations Manager that a one hour report notification to the NRC was rtquired. The NRC was notified at 0840 per the requirements of 10CFR 73.71. While the immediate report w:s made within the one hour of notification of Security personnel, North Atlantic management expectations wtre not met regarding the communications preceding the notification. The locks were changed by 1705.
There were no unaccountable vital door alarms. Subsequent searches have not located the Icst keys.

- l. Descriotion of Event At gpproximately 0615 on 2/12/97, the off-going (mids) duty Firefighter identified that the firefighters shift key ring was missing. The shift key ring contains a security master key. A search of the immediate office area was parformed by the mids and the on coming (days) duty Firefighters and Fire Brigade Leaders with no success. ;
Tha mids duty Firefighter called Security to inquire if anyone had found "any" keys, but never identified to '
S curity that the missing keys in question were the firefighters shift key ring that contained a security master kry. The inquiry that the mids Firefighter made to Security about missing keys was misinterpreted by the days Fira Brigade Leader that Security had been notified about the lost firefighters key ring. At approximately 0700, during the Operations Shift briefing, the day Fire Brigade Leader informed the Operations shift personnel that the firafighters shift key ring was missing and please keep an eye out for them during their rounds. At 0750, during tha briefing for a Containment entry, the day shift Firefighter discussed the missing keys with the Security
. Officer present. The Security Officer stated that he was not aware of any missing keys. The day Firefighter notified the day Fire Brigade Leader that it appeared that Security had not been properly informed of the missing firsfighter key ring. Security was notified by the Fire Brigade Leader and Security notified the Operations M1 nager that a one hour report notification to the NRC was required. The NRC was notified at 0840 per the r:quirements of 10CFR 73.71. North Atlantic procedures require immediate security related NRC notification to be made to appropriate Security Department personnel. While the immediate report was made within the one hour of notification of Security personnel, North Atlantic management expectations were not met regarding the communications preceding the notification.
Tha locks were changed by 1705. Subsequent searches have not located the lost keys.
II. Cause of Event Lost Kevs Th3 cause of the lost Firefighter shift key ring is unknown. The Firefighter has no knowledge of when or how ths keys were lost.
Untimelv Notification Notifications associated with this event were untimely as a result of miscommunications. The mids Firefighter originally called Security at 0620 to inquire about lost keys, never mentioning that the lost keys in question w:re actually the Firefighters shift key ring and that it contained a security master key. It was this original cantact with Security by the mids Firefighter that lead the days Firefighter, Fire Brigade Leader and the oncoming Operations Shift to think that Security had been properly notified and that Security was handling the evant. It was not until 0750 that the day Firefighter asked a Security Officer, during the briefing for a Containment Entry, if the Firefighters shift keys had been found. The Security Officer was not aware of the missing keys. The day Firefighter then contacted the Fire Brigade Leader, who in turn contacted the Security Shift Supervisor.

Related Contributina issues A clear understanding of the Security and Operations Key Control Programs was not present. The Security and Operations Key Control Programs do not clearly identify their " expectations" when addressing control of security k:ys. This lead to a misunderstanding by the Operations and Fire Protection personnel about the urgency of lofing the Firefighter shift key ring since it contained a security master key.
Ill. Analvsis of EVAD1 Thi safety consequences and implications of this event are very low. Upon notification of the lost Firefighter shift key ring, Security initiated a change-out of the lock cylinders on all vital area doors. The change-out was completed at 1705 on 2/12/97. In addition, Security performed a review of the security door alar.m list to ,
ensure that no unaccouatable door alarms were received during the time period from discovery of the lost Fir; fighter shift key ring to completion of the lock cylinder change-out. There were no unaccountable vital door girrms.
IV. Corrective Action Ccmpleted corrective actions include:
(1) With the aid of a security door printout, a complete search of the route taken by the mids Firefighter was performed by Security and Fire Protection personnel.
(2) The day Operations personnel were informed of the missing Firefighter shift key ring and asked to '
search for the missing keys during their normal rounds.
(3) Operations and Security personnel have been informed of the differences between the Security
" control" expectations and the current Operations / Fire Protection " control" processes.
Operations / Fire Protection personnel have been informed of the need for better key control practices.
(4) The Fire Brigade Leader and the (new) Firefighter key rings were inventoried to document the keys on the key ring and to eliminate any unnecessary keys. ,
.(5) The miscommunications issues were highlighted in an Operating Experience Summary that was presented at the morning Station Directors meeting.
Additional Corrective Actions: ,
(1) This event will be included in the Operations and Fire Protection Adverse Condition Report discussions as part of continuing training.
(2) North Atlantic will determine acceptable methods for the control of security keys that are part of the shift key ring.
