SUBJECT: DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3 SECURITY INSPECTION 05000237/2007201 AND 05000249/2007201
Dear Mr. Crane:
On July 27, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3. 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 during a preliminary exit meeting on July 27, 2007, with Mr. Danny Bost and other members of your staff. During the meeting, we discussed an issue identified during the inspection that warranted further review by the NRC. On October 11, 2007, a final exit meeting via telecon was conducted with Mr. Dave Wozniak and other members of your staff to disclose the results of the NRC's review. 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 procedure and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel. EXEMPT FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE May be exempt from public release under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) Exemption number: 5___________ Nuclear Regulatory Commission review required before public release.
Jamie Heisserer NSIR/DSO/DDSO/SPEB___________ Name and organization of person making determination.
Date of determination: 11/23/2007______ EnclosureContains Safeguards Information. Upon separation, this page is decontrolled. The attached report documents a finding that was determined to have the potential for significance greater than very low security significance (i.e. greater than Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process). The final resolution of this finding will convey the increment in the importance to security by assigning the corresponding color, which may require additional NRC inspection. The deficiency was promptly compensated for, and the site was in compliance with applicable physical protection and security requirements within the scope of the inspection before the inspectors left the site. The finding also had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance because personnel failed to conduct an adequate effectiveness review. The finding was NRC-identified. Since the NRC has not made a final determination in this matter, no Notice of Violation is being issued for the inspection findings at this time. In addition, please be advised that the number and characterization of any apparent violation described in the enclosed inspection report may change as a result of further NRC review. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system ADAMS. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (The Public Electronic Reading Room). However, because of the security-related concerns contained in the enclosure, and in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, a copy of this letter's enclosures will not be available for public inspection.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(ii), the NRC is waiving the affidavit requirements for your response, if any. This practice will ensure that your response will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's document system ADAMS.
