SUBJECT:
VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER STATION - NRC SECURITY PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION REPORT 0500027 1 l2o1 1 404
Dear Mr. Colomb:
On April 22,2011, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station. The enclosed report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on April22, 2011, with Mr. Wamser, General Manager, Plant Operations, Mr. Rademacher, Director, Engineering, and other members of your staff.
This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to identification and resolution of problems and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and conditions of your license. Within these areas, the inspection involved examination of selected procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel.
This report documents one self-revealing finding of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determined by the Baseline Security Significance Determination Process), which was identified during the performance of the baseline Problem ldentification and Resolution inspection documented in Inspection Report 0500027112011008. The deficiencywas promptly corrected or compensated for, and the plant was in compliance with applicable physical protection and security requirements within the scope of the inspection before the inspectors left the site.
The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Work Practices, because Entergy did not use self and peer checking commensurate with the security significance H.4(a).
Enclosure contains Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information. When separated from enclosure. the transmittal document is decontrolled.
