SUBJECT:
COOPER NUCLEAR STATION - NRC SECURITY TEAM INSPECTION
REPORT 05000298/2007401
Dear Mr. Minahan:
On June 7, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security
baseline inspection at your Cooper Nuclear Station. The inspection covered one or more of the
key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process. The
enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on
June 07, 2007, with Mr. Michael J. Colomb, General Manager, Plant Operations, 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 inspectors 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.
The finding was NRC identified.
NRC is treating this violation as a noncited violation consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC
Enforcement Policy because of the very low security significance of the violation and because it
was entered into your corrective action program. If you contest this non-cited violation, you
should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for
Nebraska Public Power District
