Dear Mr. Archie:

On June 27, 2008, the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a team inspection at your Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station. The enclosed report documents the inspection results, which were discussed with you and other members of your staff on June 27, 2008.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to the implementation of B.5.b Phase 2 and 3 mitigating strategies, your compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations, and with the conditions of your operating license. Within these areas, the inspection involved examination of selected procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel.

Based on the results of the inspection, one NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance was identified. However, because this violation was of very low safety significance and because it was entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating the issue as a Non-Cited Violation in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCs Enforcement Policy.
