baseline inspection at your Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations. The inspection

Oversight Process. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which
were discussed on April 10, 2009, with you and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your licenses as they relate to security and
compliance with the Commission=s rules and regulations and with the conditions of your
licenses. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and
interviewed personnel.
This report documents three findings of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determined

determined to be violations of NRC requirements. The deficiencies were promptly corrected,
and the plant was in compliance with applicable physical protection and security requirements

Additionally, two licensee-identified violations which were determined to be of very low security

because they are entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these
violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement
Policy. If you contest these non-cited violations, you should provide a response within 30 days
of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory

Regional Administrator Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, Washington DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at
Salem and Hope Creek Generating Station. In addition, if you disagree with the characterization
of any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this
inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region I,
