NRC MATERIAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTING PROGRAM INSPECTION REPORT 05000361/2012405 AND 05000362/2012405

Dear Mr. Dietrich:

On February 17, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. The inspection covered a key attribute of the Security Cornerstone of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process, Material Control and Accounting of Special Nuclear Material. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on February 17, 2012, with Mr. T. McCool, Plant Manager, and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

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

One self-revealing finding of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process) was identified during this inspection.

The deficiency was promptly corrected 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. If you contest the non-cited violation in the enclosed 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 DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.

One cross-cutting aspect was assigned to the finding in the area of Human Performance associated with work practices because San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station failed to ensure supervisory and management oversight of work activities, including contractors, such that nuclear safety is supported H.4(c). 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 IV; and the NRC Resident Inspector at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, or the Director, Nuclear Security Incident Response; and to the Branch Chief, Security Performance Evaluation Branch.

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 Agencywide Document 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 NRC's document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

If Security-Related Information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please mark your entire response Security-Related Information 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.

Sincerely,

/RA/ by Louis C. Carson II Gregory E. Werner, Chief Plant Support Branch 2 Division of Reactor Safety Docket Nos.: 50-361; 50-362 License Nos.: NPF-10; NPF-15 Nonpublic Enclosure:
