SECURITY INSPECTION 05000237/2007201 AND 05000249/2007201

Dear Mr. Crane:

On July 27, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security

baseline inspection at the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3. The inspection

covered one or more of the key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRCs Reactor

Oversight Process. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which

were discussed during a preliminary exit meeting on July 27, 2007, with Mr. Danny Bost and

other members of your staff. During the meeting, we discussed an issue identified during the

inspection that warranted further review by the NRC. On October 11, 2007, a final exit meeting

via telecon was conducted with Mr. Dave Wozniak and other members of your staff to disclose

the results of the NRCs review.

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 procedure and records, observed activities, and interviewed

personnel.

SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION

C. Crane -2-

The attached report documents a finding that was determined to have the potential for

significance greater than very low security significance (i.e. greater than Green as determined

by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process). The final resolution of this

finding will convey the increment in the importance to security by assigning the corresponding

color, which may require additional NRC inspection. The deficiency was promptly compensated

for, and the site was in compliance with applicable physical protection and security requirements

within the scope of the inspection before the inspectors left the site. The finding also had a

cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance because personnel failed to conduct an

adequate effectiveness review.

The finding was NRC-identified.

Since the NRC has not made a final determination in this matter, no Notice of Violation is being

issued for the inspection findings at this time. In addition, please be advised that the number

and characterization of any apparent violation described in the enclosed inspection report may

change as a result of further NRC review.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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 NRCs document system ADAMS. ADAMS is

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 letters enclosures 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 NRCs

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
