INDIAN POINT ENERGY CENTER _ NRC SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000247 l 20 1 1 40 4 AN D 05000 286 I 20 1 1 405

Dear Mr. Ventosa:

On December 31,2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a focused problem ldentification and Resolution inspection at your Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC)'

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 January 19,2012, with you and other members of your staff'

The inspection examined activities conducted under your licenses as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your licenses. The inspectors reviewed selected proledures and records, obseryed activities, and interviewed personnel.

Two NRC identified findings of very low security significance (i.e., Qreel as delermined by the Baseline Security Significince Determination Process) were identified during this inspection'

The deficiencies weri promptly corrected or compensated for, and the plant was in compliance with applicable physicat proieition and security requirements within the scope of this inspection before the inspectors left the site.

These findings were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. Further, a licensee-identified violation which was determined to be of very low security significance is listed in this report. However, the NRC is treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.

Enclosure contains Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information. When separated from Enclosure, this transmittal document is decontrolled.
