SUBJECT:

WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION - NRC SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000382/2015407 AND NRC INVESTIGATION REPORT NO. 4-2014-044 AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Chisum:

This letter refers to the investigation conducted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Office of Investigations at the Waterford Steam Electric Station to determine if willful security-related violations of NRC requirements occurred at the Waterford Steam Electric Station. The investigation was initiated on August 21, 2014, and completed on August 18, 2015. The NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection and investigation with Messrs. M. Chisum, Site Vice President; J. Jarrell, Regulatory Assurance Manager and Acting Director, Regulatory and Performance Improvement; A. James, Security Manager; and other members of your staff on January 7, 2016. The inspectors documented the results of this inspection and investigation in the enclosed inspection report.

Based on the results of this inspection and investigation, the NRC has determined that two Severity Level IV violations of NRC requirements occurred.

These violations were evaluated in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, which appears on the NRCs Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/about-rc/regulatory/enforcement/enforce-pol.html. The violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation and the circumstances surrounding them are described in detail in the subject inspection report. The violations are being cited in the Notice of Violation because they involved the willful failure to comply with regulatory requirements by several security officers. You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response. If you have additional information that you believe the NRC should consider, you may provide it in your response to the Notice. The NRCs review of your response to the Notice will also determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

However, the material enclosed herewith contains Security-Related Information in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1) and its disclosure to unauthorized individuals could present a security vulnerability. Therefore, the material in the enclosure will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

If Security-Related Information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please mark your entire response Security-Related Information in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1)

and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1). In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(ii), the NRC is waiving the affidavit requirements for your response.

Sincerely,

/RA/
