-2-EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 NRC Inspection Report 50-382/98-10 This was an announced inspection of the licensee's physical security program. The areas inspected included access authorization, alarm stations, protected area access control of personnel, packages and vehicles, testing and maintenance, security program plans and procedures, security event logs, management support. management effectiveness, fitness-for-duty program, and followup of open items. Overall performance in the security area was effectiv Plant Succort j f

- Performance in the physical security area was good with improvements noted in several '

areas. Adequate compensatory measures were implemented to maintain the ,

redvadancy and protection of alarm stations during the installation of the new security j computer. Alarm station operators were alert and effectively trained. Security events  !

were correctly reported. The logs and supporting reports were neat and contained sufficient detail for the reviewer to determine root cause, deportability, and corrective j action taken. Senior management support for the security organization was good. New l X-ray machine video monitors were purchased, a new security computer was being I installed, the access authorization and fitness-for-duty physical facilities were being remodeled, and security staffing was maintained at a proper level. An effective program had been established for the timely deactivation of key cards following termination of an individual (Sections S1.1,1.2,1.3, and 6.1).

+ Concerns were identified in two recently revised procedures. Compensatory measures procedures for a degraded vehicle barrier did not specify the type of weapon a compensatory officer must have. The patrol tours procedure only defined a watch tour but discussed protected and vital area patrol tours (Sections 3.1 and 3.2).

- The security program was adequately managed. Due to a refueling outage and j'

equipment problems, overtime hours worked by security officers averaged over 14 percent a month for the past 6 months. The licensee's on-shift staffing was properly maintained (Section S6.2 and 6.3).

. Testing and maintenance of the security equipment were excellent. The individual conducting the tests was knowledgeable of the testing procedures and conducted performance-based tests (Section S2.1).

l l

- An effectively fitnew Sr-duty program was in place. The specimen collection facility was l well maintained and proper procedures were in place that prevented circumventing of

'

tests with false specimens. The licensee's fitness-for-duty procedures were comprehensive and thorough (Section S8.1).

The alarm stations were inspected to determine compliance with the security plan. The areas inspected included capabilities of the alarm stations, redundancy and diversity of alarm stations, protection of alarm stations, and systems securit Observations and Findinos The licensee was in the process of installing a new security computer. This required the establishment of a temporary, secondary alarm station to maintain the redundancy and diversity of the alarm stations. Redundancy ensured that action by one alarm station operator could not reduce the effectiveness of the security' systems without the knowledge of the other alarm station operator. The inspector observed the temporary, I secondary alarm station, operation, equipment, and location within the plant and determined that the licensee was meeting the requirements of the physical security pla The inspector questioned station operators and determined that they were properly trained and knowledgeable of their duties.

'

licensee maintained an effective management system for the development and of procedures, and that procedure changes did not reduce the effectiveness of the security progra Two minor concerns were identified regarding recently revised procedures. First, the procedure identifying compensatory measures for a degraded vehicle barrier did not i

specify the type of weapon a compensatory officer should carry. Second, the procedure that provided direction for conducting protected and vital area patrol tours was confusing because the procedure only defined a " watch tour," but the procedure discussed protected and vital area patrol tours. The licensee corrected both procedures prior to completion of the inspectio ' C&Drdulloff Changes to security programs and plans were reported within the required time fram Two minor concerns were identified in recently revised procedures. The procedure identifying compensatory measures for a degraded vehicle barrier did not specify the type of weapon a compensatory officer must have, and the procedure for conducting patrol tours only def.ned a watch tour, but discussed prviected and vital area patrol tours.
