SUBJECT:

MCGUIRE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NRC SAFEGUARDS INSPECTION REPORT 05000369/2003006 AND 05000370/2003006

Dear Mr. Peterson:

On August 7, 2003, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your McGuire Nuclear Power Plant. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed on August 7, 2003, with you and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with an Order issued on February 25, 2002, which required your site to implement specific measures related to security of your facility. The inspection used Temporary Instruction 2515/148, Inspection of Nuclear Reactor Safeguards Interim Compensatory Measures, to verify implementation of the Order as clarified in your responses dated March 18, April 30, July 18, September 4, and December 7, 2002. The inspection also included evaluations of other selected areas of the security program including performance indicators, access control, intrusion detection and assessment system testing, and aspects of contingency response. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selected examination of procedures and records, observation of activities, and interviews with personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection one unresolved item was identified for which the significance has not yet been determined.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, without the enclosed Safeguards Information, 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). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
