BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRICAL PLANT - NRC SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000325/2009402 AND 05000324/2009402

Dear:

Mr. Waldrep:

On October 30, 2009, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your Brunswick Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on October 30, 2009, with you and other members of your staff. A re-exit meeting was also conducted by telephone on November 23, 2009 with you and your staff.

This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Commission=s rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

This report documents one finding of very low security significance (Green) as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process (PPSDP). The deficiency was promptly corrected and the plant was in compliance with applicable physical protection and security requirements within the scope of this inspection before the inspectors left the site.

The NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy because of the very low safety significance of the violation and because the violation was entered into your corrective action program. If you contest this non-cited violation, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis of your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system, ADAMS. ADAMS is CP&L 2 accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). However, because of the security-related concerns contained in the enclosure, and in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, a copy of this letter=s enclosure will not be available for public inspection.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(ii), the NRC is waiving the affidavit requirements for your response, if any. This practice will ensure that your response will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC=s document system, ADAMS. If Safeguards Information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21. Otherwise, mark your entire response Security-Related Information-Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390 and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1).

Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact us.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Michael E. Ernstes, Chief Plant Support Branch 2 Division of Reactor Safety
