Dear Mr. Archie:

The inspection covered one or more of the key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process. The enclosed report documents the inspection results, which were discussed with you and other members of your staff on November 9, 2007. A re-exit was conducted on December 20, 2007, with you and other staff members.This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security andcompliance 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 NRC-identified finding of very low security significance (i.e, Greenas determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process). The deficiency was 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. The NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violations (NCV)
