SUBJECT: GRAND GULF NUCLEAR STATION - NRC SUPPLEMENTAL INSPECTION

REPORT 05000416/2006011

Dear Mr. Brian:

On July 13, 2006, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a supplemental

inspection pursuant to Inspection Procedure 95001 at your Grand Gulf Nuclear Station to

follow up on previous security inspection findings. The enclosed report presents the results of

this inspection, which were discussed with Mr. G. Williams, Vice-President Operations, and

other members of your staff on July 13, 2006. The NRC was informed of your readiness for

the inspection on May 15, 2006.

NRC performed the inspection to verify the adequacy of the root cause evaluation and

corrective actions implemented in response to a finding of greater than green security

significance, as documented in NRC Inspection Report 05000416/2005013. This

supplemental inspection was conducted to provide assurance that the root causes and

contributing causes of the greater than green finding were understood, to independently

assess the extent of the condition and cause, and to provide assurance that the corrective

actions to security significant performance issues were sufficient to address the root causes

and contributing causes, and prevent recurrence. To accomplish these objectives, the

inspector reviewed your root cause analysis and evaluation of extent of condition and

conducted an independent inspection to verify or refute your conclusions.

This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to public health

and safety, the common defense and security, and to compliance with the Commissions rules

and regulations, orders, and with the conditions of your license. Within these areas, the

inspection consisted of selected examination of procedures and representative records,

observations of activities, and interviews with personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection no findings of significance were identified.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be

available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the

Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's document system, ADAMS.

ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://WWW.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html

(the Public Electronic Reading Room). However, because of the security-related concerns

contained in the enclosure, and in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, a copy of this letter's

enclosure will not be available for public inspection.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(ii), the NRC is waiving the affidavit requirements for

your response, if any. This practice will ensure that your response will not be made available

electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's

document system, ADAMS. If Safeguards Information is necessary to provide an acceptable

response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21. Otherwise, mark

your entire response "Security-Related Information-Withhold under 10 CFR 2.390" and follow

the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1).

Sincerely,
