SUBJECT:
COOPER NUCLEAR STATION - NRC SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000298/2010403
Dear Mr. OGrady:
On November 18, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your Cooper Nuclear 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 initially discussed on September 23, 2010, with Mr. D. Willis, General Manager, Plant Operations and other members of your staff. The inspection results of the final element of the inspection were subsequently discussed with Mr. Willis on November 18, 2010.
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.
No findings were identified.
However, a licensee-identified violation which was determined to be of very low security significance is listed in this report. Additionally, because of its very low security significance and because it is entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating this violation as a noncited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest this noncited violation, 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.:

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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 (PARS) component of the NRCs document system, ADAMS.
ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website 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.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(b) (1) (ii), the NRC is waiving the affidavit requirements for your response, if any. This practice will ensure that your response will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs document system, ADAMS. If Safeguards Information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21. Otherwise, mark your entire response Security-Related Information-Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390. and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1).
Sincerely,
