SUBJECT:

COMANCHE PEAK STEAM ELECTRIC STATION - NRC MATERIAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTING PROGRAM INSPECTION REPORT 05000445/2007403 AND 05000446/2007403

Dear Mr. Blevins:

On June 28, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed the material control and accounting (MC&A) program inspection at your Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station Units 1 and 2. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection findings, which were discussed with Mr. M. Kanavos, Plant Manager and members of your staff during a preliminary exit meeting on that date. A supplemental telephonic exit meeting was held with Mr. T. Hope, Manager, Regulatory Affairs, on July 18, 2007, regarding the final results of the MC&A inspection.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed storage of special nuclear material in the spent fuel pool, and interviewed personnel. Areas examined during the inspection included physical inventory and accounting records.

Based on the results of this inspection, no findings of significance were identified. However, a licensee-identified violation, which was determined to be of very low security significance, is listed in this report.

The 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 is entered into your corrective action program.
