SUBJECT:

THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1 - NRC SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000289/2009201

Dear Mr. Pardee:

On May 14, 2009, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 site. 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 July 23, 2009, with Mr. William Noll, 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 inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

This report documents five 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 inspectors left the site. One finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, within the area of Corrective Action Program, P.1.c. Evaluates Problems, because of a failure to adequately evaluate problems so that resolutions addressing causes and extent of conditions ensure that the security systems you have in place are effective.

Because of the very low security significance, and because the issues are 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 the subject or severity of these NCVs, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this letter, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission - Region I, 475 Allendale Road, King of Prussia, PA 19406-1415; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the Resident Inspector Office at Three Mile Island, Unit 1. The information you provide will be considered in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0305. The findings were all NRC identified.

Enclosure contains Safeguards Information.

Upon removal this letter is decontrolled. In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRC's

"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 System (PARS)

component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS),

accessible from the NRC Web site 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.

Because this issue involves security-related information, your response, should you choose to respond in writing, will not be made publicly available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs document system ADAMS, accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. The material enclosed herewith contains Safeguards Information as defined by 10 CFR Part 73.21 (or 10 CFR Part 95 for classified information) and its disclosure to unauthorized individuals is prohibited by Section 147 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.

Sincerely,

/RA by Michael Shannon for/
