SUBJECT:

DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3 NRC SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION REPORT 05000237/2007404(DRS);

05000249/2007404(DRS)

Dear Mr. Crane:

On August 31, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3. The inspection covered one or more of the key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on August 31, 2007, with Mr. D. Wozniak and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspector reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

This report documents two findings of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process). The deficiencies were promptly 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. One of the findings had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance because the licensee failed to properly plan and coordinate work activities, consistent with physical protection. Additionally, licensee-identified violations which were determined to be of very low security significance are listed in this report.

EXEMPT FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE May be exempt from public release under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552)

Exemption number: 5___________

Joseph Maynen, RIII/DRS/PSB___________

Name and organization of person making determination.

Date of determination: 10/09/2007______ However, because of the very low security significance and because they are entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs)

consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest these non-cited violations, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator Region III; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Dresden Nuclear Power Station.

The findings were both NRC identified and licensee identified.

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 System (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, because of the security-related concerns contained in the enclosures, and in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, a copy of this letters enclosure will not be available for public inspection.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.

Sincerely,

/RA/
