Dear Mr. Bezilla:

On July 2, 2008, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a team inspection of your Perry Nuclear Power Plant. The enclosed report documents the results of the inspection, which were discussed on June 27, 2008, with Mr. A. Cayia and other members of your staff.

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 Commission=s 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, 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. NRC is treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy because of the very low safety significance of the violation and because it is 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 III, the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Dirojac Electric Station.
