SUBJECT:

BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NRC SECURITY INSPECTION 05000334/2010201 AND 05000412/2010201

Dear Mr. Harden:

On February 5, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security

baseline inspection at the Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The inspection covered

one or more of the key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRC's Reactor Oversight

Process. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were

discussed on February 12, 2010, with you and members of the site staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under y our 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 one finding of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determined

by the Physical Protection Significance Determ ination Process). The deficiency was promptly corrected or compensated for, 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 finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance H4(a),

because the licensee failed to use human error prevention techniques. If you disagree with the

characterization of any findings 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 Director, Nuclear

Security Incident Response, and the Branch Chief, Security Performance Evaluation Branch.

The information you provide will be considered in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0305

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 for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional

Administrator Region I, the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Beaver

Valley Power Station.
