SUBJECT:

BYRON STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NRC SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION REPORT 05000454/2016405; 05000455/2016405

Dear Mr. Hanson:

On May 27, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your Byron Station, Units 1 and 2. The NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. T. Faley and other members of your staff.

NRC inspectors documented one finding of very-low security significance (Green) in this report.

This finding involved a violation of NRC requirements. The NRC is treating this violation as Non-Cited Violation consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.

A cross-cutting aspect of H.8, Human Performance, Procedure Adherence, was assigned to this violation for the failure to follow processes, and work instructions.

If you contest the subject or severity of the 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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Byron Station.

In addition, if you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region III, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Byron Station.
