MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT NRC SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION REPORT 05000263/2007404(DRS)
Dear Mr. OConner:
On June 8, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. 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 June 8, 2007, with yourself 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 inspector left the site. One finding was NRC-identified and the other finding was licensee-identified.
EXEMPT FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE May be exempt from public release under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552)
Exemption number: 5 Nuclear Regulatory Commission review required before public release.
Dale Lawver, RIII/DRS/PSB Name and organization of person making determination.
