SUBJECT:

INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING UNITS 2 AND 3 - NRC SPECIAL INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 05000247/2006401 AND 05000286/2006401

Dear Mr. Dacimo:

On January 11, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a special inspection at your Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC). The special team inspection was initiated in accordance with on criteria listed in NRC Management Directive 8.3, NRC Incident Investigation Program. Specifically, the condition involved safeguards concerns that were sufficiently complex to warrant additional inspection effort beyond the baseline inspection program to understand the scope and significance of the issues.

The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed at the exit meeting on January 11, 2007, with Mr. J. Comiotes, Director of Nuclear Safety Assurance and other members of your staff. The determination that the inspection would be conducted was made by the NRC on November 9, 2006, and the inspection started on November 13, 2006.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your licenses as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your licenses. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel. DETERMINATION Warning: Violation of section 147 of the Atomic MADE BY:

Energy Act, Safeguards Information is subject NAME/TITLE: James M. Trapp, Chief to civil and criminal penalties ORGANIZATION: RI/DRS/PSB1 BASIS - DG-SG-1 (300) Physical Protection Program SIGNATURE___/RA/__________/ DATE:_02/01/07 Mr. Fred Dacimo 2 The NRC insured that 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 upon discovery by the inspectors and before the inspectors left the site.

We have completed our review and this report documents two NRC-identified findings of very low safety significance (i.e., Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process).

NRC is treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy because of the very low security significance of the violations and because they are entered into your corrective action program. 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 I; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at IPEC.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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 NRCs document system, ADAMS. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website 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 letters enclosure 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 NRCs document system, ADAMS. If Safeguards Information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21. Otherwise, mark your entire response Security-Related Information-Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390" and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1).

Sincerely,

/RA/
