SUBJECT:
R. E. GINNA - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-244/02-06
Dear Dr. Mecredy:
On December 28, 2002, the NRC completed an inspection of your R. E. Ginna facility. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on January 7, 2003 with Joe Widay and other members of your staff.
This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your operating license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
Based on the results of this inspection, the inspectors identified two issues of very low safety significance (Green). Neither of these issues was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements.
Since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the NRC has issued two Orders (dated February 25, 2002, and January 7, 2003) and several threat advisories to licensees of commercial power reactors to strengthen licensee capabilities, improve readiness, and enhance access authorization. The NRC also issued Temporary Instruction 2515/148 on August 28, 2002, that provided guidance to inspectors to audit and inspect licensee implementation of the interim compensatory measures (ICMs) required by the February 25th Order. The TI 2515/148 audit was completed at all commercial nuclear power plants during calender year (CY) 02, and the remaining inspections are scheduled for completion in CY 03.
Additionally, table-top security drills were conducted at several licensees to evaluate licensee protection and mitigative strategies. Information gained and discrepancies identified during the audits and drills were reviewed and dispositioned by the Office of Nuclear Safety and Incident Response. For CY 03, the NRC will continue to monitor overall safeguards and security controls, conduct inspections, and perform force-on-force exercises at selected power plants to pilot a long-term program that will test the adequacy of licensee security and safeguards strategies. Should threat conditions change, the NRC may issue additional Orders, advisories, and temporary instructions to contribute to the assurance of safety.
Dr. Robert In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publically Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs document management system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website in the Public Electronic Reading Room, http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
Sincerely,
/RA/
