SUBJECT:
FERMI POWER PLANT, UNIT 2 NRC SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION REPORT 05000341/2012405
Dear Mr. Plona:
On September 28, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2. 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 September 28, 2012, with Mr. T. Conner 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.
Two NRC-identified findings of very low security significance (Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process) were identified during this inspection.
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 was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. The violation had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance -
Decision Making H.1(b) because the licensee failed to use conservative assumptions in decision making and adopt a requirement to demonstrate that the proposed action is secure in order to proceed rather than a requirement to demonstrate that it is not secure in order to disapprove the action. The NRC is treating this violation as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV)
consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC Enforcement Policy.
Enclosure contains Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information. When separated from enclosure, this transmittal document is decontrolled. If you contest the subject or severity of the NCV, 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 a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region III; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the Resident Inspector at the Fermi Power Plant.
In addition, if you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region III, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Fermi Power Plant.
In accordance with 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). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). However, the material enclosed herewith contains Security-Related Information in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1) and its disclosure to unauthorized individuals could present a security vulnerability. Therefore, the material in the enclosure will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the PARS component of NRCs ADAMS. If you choose to provide a response and Security-Related Information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please mark your entire response Security-Related Information-Withhold from public disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390 in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1) and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390 (b)(1).
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(ii), the NRC is waiving the affidavit requirements for your response.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Richard A. Skokowski, Chief Plant Support Branch Division of Reactor Safety
