SUBJECT:
VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT - U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000424/2015404 AND
Dear Mr. Taber:
On April 24, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2. The inspection covered one or more of the key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process. The enclosed inspection report (IR) documents the inspection results that were discussed on April 24, 2015, with you and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security, compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations, and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
This report documents one NRC-identified finding of very low security significance (i.e., Green, as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process) that was identified during this inspection. The deficiency was 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 crosscutting aspect in the area Human Performance (H.2); in that, the licensee failed to observe and promptly correct deviation from standards and expectations. The NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV), consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.
If you contest this violation or significance of this NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this IR with the basis of your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2.
If you disagree with a crosscutting aspect assignment in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this IR with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region II; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding, of the NRC's "Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure," 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 Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS); accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
However, the material enclosed herein 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 PARS component of NRCs ADAMS. If you choose to provide a response and Security-Related information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please mark your entire response Security-Related Information - Withhold from public disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390, 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/
Binoy Desai, Chief Plant Support Branch 2 Division of Reactor Safety
