SUBJECT:

JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT - NRC SPECIAL SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000348/2010404 AND 05000364/2010404

Dear Mr. Johnson:

On September 24, 2010, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a special security inspection at your Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on September 24, 2010, with Mr. T.

Youngblood and members of your staff. A re-exit meeting was conducted by telephone on October 14, 2010, with Ms. L. Hogg and other staff members.

This 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 inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

This report documents one finding of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process). The deficiency was 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 inspector left the site. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution P.2 (b)

because the licensee failed to implement and institutionalize operating experience. If you disagree with the characterization of any finding in this report, 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, D.C. 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Farley Nuclear Plant. In addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding 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, RII, and the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Farley Nuclear 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 (PARS) component of NRC's document system, ADAMS. B SNC, Inc. 2 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 letter=s 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 NRC=s 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).

Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact us.

Sincerely,

/RA/
