SUBJECT:
PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT 1
NRC SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION REPORT 05000440/2014403
Dear Mr. Harkness:
On October 9, 2014, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1. The inspection covered one or more of the key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on October 9, 2014, with you and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to public health and safety, the common defense and security, and to confirm compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selected examination of procedures and representative records, observations of activities, and interviews with personnel.
One NRC-identified finding of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process) was identified during this inspection.
The deficiencies were 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 inspector left the area. The findings were determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. The NRC is treating this violation as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.
A cross-cutting aspect was assigned to the finding in the areas of Human Performance -
Consistent Process (H.13) because the licensee failed to ensure that individuals use a consistent, systematic approach to make decisions.
If you contest the violations or significance of the NCV and/or if you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial and/or disagreement, to the
