Dear Mr. Shea:
On May, 6, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security inspection at your Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. On May 12, 2016, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. Paul Simmons, Site Vice President, Watts Bar Unit 2 Projects, and other members of your staff. Inspectors documented the results of this inspection in the enclosed inspection report.
NRC inspectors documented one finding of very low security significance (Green) in this report.
This finding involved a violation of NRC requirements. The NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.
If you contest this violation or the significance of this NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator Region II; the Director, Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response, the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC resident inspector at the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2.
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 II; the Director, Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response; and the NRC resident inspector at the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2.
