Dear Mr. Hanson:

On July 12, 2016, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. Brian Finlay, Site Security Manager, and other members of your staff. Inspectors documented the results of this inspection in the enclosed inspection report.

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 a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the Enforcement Policy.
