Inspection Summary

Inspection Conducted February 6-10, 1989 (Report 50-298/89-06)

Areas Inspected: Routine, unannounced inspection of the licensee's physical .

security program. The areas inspected within the physical security program

included management support, security program plan, and audits; protected

area (PA) physical barriers, detection and assessment aids; protected and vital g

area (VA) access control of personnel, packages, and vehicles; alarm

stations and communications; and compensatory measures.

Results: Within the areas inspected three apparent violations were identified ,.

(inadequate compensatory measures, inadequate lock and key control, and failure

to report; see paragraph 2). One open item is also discussed in paragraph 2.

The NRC inspector observed that if the licensee hcd reported or logged the

non-compliance items as required by 10 CFR 73.71(b) and (c) and the licensee's

Physical Security Plan (PSP), the NRC could have exercised discretion in

whether to cite non-compliance since the violations would have been relatively

minor in nature and reported by the licensee. The decisions to not report or

log non-compliance issues is a repeated problem and appears to be a programmatic

issue.
