SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

IR 05000237-02-13(DRS), IR 05000249-02-13(DRS), on 07/15-19/2002, Exelon

Generation Company, LLC, Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3. Physical

Protection-Response to Contingency Events (Protective Strategy and Implementation of

Protective Strategy).

The report covers a one week period of announced baseline inspection on security. The

inspection was conducted by a Region III security inspector. One Green finding was

identified. The significance of most findings is indicated by their color (Green, White,

Yellow, Red) using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Significance Determination Process

(SDP). Findings for which the SDP does not apply may be Green or be assigned a

severity level after NRC management review. The NRCs program for overseeing the safe

operation of commercial nuclear power reactors is described in NUREG-1649, Reactor

Oversight Process, Revision 3, dated July 2000.

A. Inspector Identified Findings

Cornerstone: Physical Protection

Green. A finding of very low safety significance was identified by the inspector.

The inspector observed that security personnel who participated in a performance

excise on July 18, 2002, demonstrated a reduced level of proficiency than that

necessitated by the licensees established protective strategy plan.

The finding affected safety because it demonstrated a reduced level of proficiency

needed to support the licensees established protective strategy. This finding was

evaluated through the SDP and determined to be of very low safety significance

because no intrusions had occurred, and there had not been greater than two

findings in the last four quarters. There is no specific requirement for this specific

demonstration of proficiency in the licensees approved security plan; therefore, no

violation occurred (Section 3PP3).

B. Licensee Identified Findings

A violation of very low significance identified by the licensee was reviewed by the

inspector. Corrective actions taken or planned by the licensee appear reasonable.

The violation is listed in Section 4OA7 of this report.
