Dear Mr. Simmons:
On December 1, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security inspection at your Watts Bar Nuclear Plant as part of the biennial Problem Identification and Resolution Inspection (Inspection Report (IR) 05000390/2016013 and 05000391/2016013).
The NRC inspectors discussed the security information related results of this inspection with you and other members of your staff. The inspectors documented the results of this inspection in the enclosed IR.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations, and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
NRC inspectors documented one finding of very low security significance (Green) in this report.
This finding involved a violation of NRC requirements; this violation was determined to be green under the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process. The NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.

Therefore, the material in the Enclosure will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room, or from the PARS component of NRCs ADAMS. If you choose to provide a response and Security-Related information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please mark your entire response Security-Related Information - Withhold from public disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390, in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1), and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1).
