Project Status Vital area analysis The vital area analysis is complete. The walk-down of all vital areas to verify barrier integrity is scheduled for completion by February 8,1988. The report of the results of the vital area walk down is scheduled to be issued on March 7, 198 New security computer The selection of a new security computer has been made and a purchase order for the computer has been issued. A schedule for this project is being develope Technical training for Technical training modules are complete and the BECO Supervisors training is scheduled to start by the end of February,198 . Security Organization The inspectors found that the structure of the licensee's security crgani-zation was not fixed as the result of various plant-wide reorganizations designed to address specific regulatory concerns. The inspectors deter-mined that this did not reduce the effectiveness of the overall security program and that the current reporting responsibilities were at an appro-priate plant-wide organizational leve Although a review of QA documents indicates that in 1986 and 1987 the licensee's organization was not as depicted by the NRC-approved Physical Security Plan (the plan), the inspectors detemined that appropriate and timely plan changes had been made as required by NRC regulations. As such, programatic deficiency was not indicated by this apparently repet-itive findin The inspectors reminded the licensee of the requirements of both 10 CFR 50.54(p) and 10 CFR 50.90 as they pertain to implementing and documenting plan change . Program Audits The inspectors reviewed security program audit reports and verified that the audits had been conducted in accordance with the plan. The audits were comprehensive in scope with the results reported to the appropriate level of management. The review included the response of the security organization to the audit findings and the corrective action taken to remedy any adverse finding The documented corrective actions appeared appropriate for the finding ._ _

4 Testing and Maintenance The inspectors reviewed testing and maintenance records and procedure The inspectors detemined that the licensee had developed preventive maintenance procedures for installed security equipment. These procedures were approved by the onsite review connittee in Novesber and December, 1987 but had not been in place long enough to assess their impact on security equipment maintenance. The review of maintenance records dis-closed that approximately ten maintenance requests (MRs) per week were generated for security equipment and that the completion time for the security MRs appeared to be improving. Security equipment maintenance will continue to be reviewed during subsequent inspection . Physical Barriers - Protected Area The inspectors conducted a physical inspection of the protected area barriers. It was detemined by observation that the barriers were installed and maintained as described in the plan. Progress on upgrading the barriers is described in Paragraph 2 of this repor . Lighting The inspectors observed lighting within the protected area. All areas observed appeared to be lighted in accordance with comitments in the plan. Progress on upgrading the lighting is discussed in Paragraph 2 of this repor . Compensatory Measures The inspectors reviewed the licensee's use of compensatory measures and detemined their use to be consistent with the commitments in the pla As a result of the security program upgrades described in Paragraph 2 of this report, the use of compensatory measures is high. As the upgrades are completed, the use of compensatory measures should decline. This will be monitored during subsequent inspection . Access Control - Personnel and Packages The inspectors reviewed the access control procedures for personnel and packages and detemined that they are consistent with comitments in the plan. This detemination was made by observing personnel assess process-ing during shift change, visitor access processing, and by discussions with the security personnel about package access procedures. The status of upgrades in the access control points is discussed in Section 2 of this repor THIS PfMr""IH CCHT?.!NS SATWMDS IN T 0 9.'J ' '"O s "T;! FOR "93tlC

.qyg 10. Alarm Stations The inspectors observed the operation of both the Central and Secondary Alarm Stations (CAS and SAS) and found them to be operating as committed to_in the plan. Operators were interviewed and were found ta be knowledgeable of their dutie . Communications The inspectors observed tests of all communication capabilities in both the CAS and the SAS. Also, the inspectors reviewed testing records for the various means of connunication available to the security force and found them to be as committed to in the pla . Personnel Training and Qualifications The inspectors examined the training files for thirty members of the security organization. The files were found to contain all necessary t records. However, the records were inconsistent as to form and content, from file to file. The inspectors determined that these inconsistencies '

resulted from failure to establish and implement written procedures for the maintenance of security training record ,

The inspectors advised the licensee that the absence of a record-keeping '

.

procedure could result in a failure to conduct required requalifications in a timely fashion because of the difficulty in monitoring records of non-similar formats. The licensee agreed with the inspectors' observation and agreed to develop a written procedure for maintaining security train- *

ing record . Exit Interview The inspectors met with the licensee's representatives listed in paragraph 1 at the conclusion of the inspection on January 28, 198 At that time, the purpose and scope of the inspection were reviewed and the findings were presente At no time during this inspection was written material provided to the licensee by the inspector
