Dear Mrs. Korsnick:

On April 5, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a material controland accounting (MC&A) safeguards program inspection at your R. E. Ginna Nuclear PowerPlant. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection findings, which werediscussed during an exit meeting on that date with Mr. Dave Holm, and other members of yourstaff.The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety,security, and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions ofyour license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed storage ofspecial nuclear material in the spent fuel pool, and interviewed personnel. Areas examinedduring the inspection included physical inventory and accounting records.Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified. However, alicensee-identified violation, which was determined to be of very low safety significance isdiscussed in the report. The NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV)consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the Enforcement Policy because of the very low safetysignificance of the violation and because it was corrected.
