SUBJECT:
PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION - NRC PHYSICAL SECURITY PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND RESOLUTION INSPECTION REPORT
NO. 05000293/2009403
Dear Mr. Bronson:
On December 3, 2009, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security Problem Identification and Resolution inspection at your Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. 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 December 3, 2009, with Mr. Steve Bethay, Director of Nuclear Safety Assurance and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Commission=s 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 one NRC-identified finding and one self revealing finding both of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process (PPSDP)). 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.
