MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT
NRC SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION REPORT 05000263/2009403(DRS)
Dear Mr. OConner:
On June 12, 2009, 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 12, 2009, with J. Grubb 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.
Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified. However, three licensee-identified violations, which were determined to be of very low security significance, are listed in this report. The 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 were entered into your corrective action program. If you contest these NCVs, 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 Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.
Enclosure contains Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information. When separated from enclosure, this transmittal document is decontrolled. T. OConnor
