The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on July 28, 2011, with Mr. B. MacKissock, Plant Manager, and other members of your staff.

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

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

No findings were identified.
