Dear Mr. Nazar:

On August 10, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your D. C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant. 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 August 10, 2007, with Mr. M. Piefer 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 inspector reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

This letter also refers to information provided by your staff to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on January 3, 2007, which was investigated by your staff and the NRC Office of Investigations (OI). The synopsis from the OI Report is enclosed.

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 III; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the D. C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant.
