' Dear Mr. Franz:

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,
