REPORT 50-331/98018(DRS)

l ' Dear Mr. Franz:

! 4 r

L

On December 8,1998, the NRC completed a security inspection of your Duane Amold

j Energy Center reactor facility. The onsite inspection effort was conducted between ,

November 16-20,-1998. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.

~ - No violations of NRC requirements were identified during this inspection. Your security .

! ' equipment testing and maintenance program was a performance strength. The dedication

l of the maintenance technicians ensured that problems were corrected efficiently and

l effectively. JThe cooperation between the security department and various other

L maintenance departments resulted in' low equipment outage times and contributed to  ;

L. . improvements in delay barriers. The security force had an aggressive and effective  ;

equipment testing program. We also observed that your security organization implemented

'

'

. their duties and responsibilities in an effective manner.

L  ;

,

'

.Two' issues were . identified that will require further analysis by us. One issue relates to  ;

.several occasions when the required number of armed response force members were not

{

g immediately available, and the reporting requirements for such incidents. The other issue  :

l ' pertains to the unescorted access authorization for a contractor employee. Resolution of ,

these issues will be addressed by separate correspondence,
