Dear Mr. Levis:

On April 18, 2008, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security Problem Identification and Resolution Sample inspection at your Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations. The inspection covered one or more of the key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRC=s Reactor Oversight Process. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on April 18, 2008, with Mr. George Barnes, Mr. Robert Braun and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your licenses as they relate to security and compliance with the Commission=s 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:

Trapp, Chief civil and criminal penalties ORGANIZATION: RI/DRS/PSB1 BASIS - DG-SG-1 (300) Physical Protection Program SIGNATURE____/RA/__________ DATE: 05/22/08 This report documents three findings of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process). The program 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 inspectors left the site. Two of the findings had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Performance Identification and Resolution P.1(a) and P.1(c). Additionally, two licensee - identified violations which were determined to be of very low safety significance are listed in this report. However, because of the very low safety significance and because they were entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. 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 the Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations.
