Dear Mr. Kowalewski:
On March 18, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at the Waterford Steam Electric Generating Station. 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 March 18, 2010, with you and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
The report documents one finding of very low safety significance (i.e., green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process).
If you disagree with the characterization of the 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 Director, Office of Nuclear Security Incident Response, and to the Branch Chief, Security Performance Evaluation Branch. The information you provide will be considered in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0305. The finding was licensee identified.
