SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
IR 05000443/2007404; Seabrook Station; Inspection of Additional Security Measures for
Radioactive Material Quantities of Concern (RAMQC)
The report covered an announced one-day inspection related to safety, common defense and security, and compliance with NRC Orders related to the transportation of radioactive material and the handling of safeguards information. The inspection was conducted by a regional inspector and was based upon Temporary Instruction (TI) 2201/001, Inspection of Additional Security Measures for Radioactive Material Quantities of Concern (RAMQC). The inspector noted that the licensee had not developed specific program guidance related to the additional security measures for the transportation of radioactive material quantities of concern. However, the inspector determined that the licensee had implemented appropriate administrative controls to develop a procedure prior to any RAMQC shipment. Also, the licensee stated they have no plans to conduct a RAMQC shipment in the near future. The inspector determined the licensee had developed an adequate program for the handling of safeguards information.
