SUBJECT:
FORT CALHOUN STATION - NRC IMC 0350 SECURITY TEAM INSPECTION
REPORT 05000285/2013407
Dear Mr. Cortopassi:
On June 20, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a supplemental
inspection at your Fort Calhoun Station. The enclosed inspection report documents the
inspection results, which were discussed on June 20, 2013, with you and other members of your
staff.
In accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0350, Oversight of Reactor Facilities in a
Shutdown Condition Due to Significant Performance and/or Operational Concerns, this
supplemental inspection was performed to follow-up on performance issues which occurred in
the first quarter of 2013 as documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000285/2013405. During
that inspection, the NRC identified significant problems with your staffs collective evaluation of
security-related violations that were of Greater than Green security significance. This led the
team to conclude that the fundamental performance issues within security, and their impact on
security processes, were not adequately identified nor corrected. Additionally, the team
identified issues related to the sites use of security-related operating experience, and security
problem identification and resolution processes.
The objectives of this supplemental inspection were to provide assurance that your staff had
corrected the issues identified during the previous inspection by performing a comprehensive
evaluation of the collective causes, to include the extent of these causes, for the Greater than
Green Findings, and to verify that security problems are being identified and resolved
adequately. Overall, the team concluded that your staff had performed a comprehensive
collective evaluation of security performance issues and that the corrective actions developed
during the evaluation were adequate. Additionally, the team determined that security problem
identification and resolution had improved since the last inspection and, overall, was functioning
at a level consistent with regulatory requirements. Based on these results the NRC determined
that Restart Checklist Items 1.d. (Security - Greater than green findings) and 5.i. (Security) are
closed.
