NRC Inspection Reports 50-010/98008; 50-237/98008; 50-249/98008

This inspection included a review of plant support activities relating to the physical protection of )

the facility. The inspector assessed the capability of the licensee to protect their facility against j

'

radiological sabotage and determined whether regulatory requirements were met. The

elements of the security program inspected were control of personnel, packages and vehicles;

vehicle barriers; compensatory measures; security procedures; event logs; security force

knowledge; management support and staffing; and follow-up previous inspection findings. The

inspection was conducted between March 2 and 11,1998.

• The licensee failed to suspend unescorted access for a plant employee in a timely j

manner. The event appeared to be an isolated individual error related to weak

attention-to-detail by a clerk in the licensee's badging department and not a

programmatic problem. Licensee corrective action was implemented in a timely and

effective manner. (Section S1.1)

• The inspector observed a violation when a vehicle was inadequately searched. Weak

attention to detail by the search officer caused the violation. Prior licensee corrective

action for similar findings in two previous inspections that focused on weak individual

performance did not prevent recurrence. (Section S1.2)

• The inspector identified that the licensee failed to conduct a for-cause drug test after

receiving credible information that an individual was abusing drugs. The credible

information was the results of a recent drug test. Licensee's actions regarding sanctions

taken against the individual appeared appropriate to address the safety aspects of the

event to deter drug use and maintain plant safety. The event was an isolated error and

not indicative of a programmatic problem. (Section S8.1)
