SUBJECT:

BRAIDWOOD STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 NRC SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION REPORT 05000456/2007401(DRS);

05000457/2007401(DRS)

Dear Mr. Crane:

On June 28, 2007, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your Braidwood Station Units 1 & 2. 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 June 28, 2007, with Mr. B. Finlay and on January 12, 2007, with Mr. G. Kaegi and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspector reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

This report documents one finding of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process). The deficiency was 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 inspectors left the site.
