SUBJECT: SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT 1- NRC MATERIALCONTROL AND ACCOUNTING PROGRAM INSPECTION - REPORT 05000400/2007201

Dear Mr. Duncan,

On March 19 - 22, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducted a materialcontrol and accounting (MC&A) safeguards inspection at your Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1. The inspection was conducted under Phase III of Temporary Instruction2515/154. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed during an exit meeting on March 22, 2007, with members of your staff. A supplemental exit meeting to discuss the final results of this inspection was held by telephone on May 9, 2007.The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety,security, and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed storage of special nuclear material in the spent fuel pool, and interviewed key personnel. Areas examined during the inspection included physical inventory and accounting records. Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified. However, a licensee-identified violation, which was determined to be of very low safety significance, is listed in this report. The NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV), consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the Enforcement Policy, because of the very low safety significance of the violation and because it was entered into your corrective action program. If you contest this non-cited violation, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Harris Power Station.When separated from the Enclosure, thisdocument is DECONTROLLED.
