Dear Chairman Klein:
As you would recall, we discussed at our October 3. 2007, Clean Air and Nuclear Saf*ety Subdiomnittee hearing on NRC oversight the discovery of inattentive security guards at the Peach 13ouom Atomic Power-Sation.. You and your ll How Commissioners assured our Subcommittee that the NRC is addressing this issue at Peach Bottom includlng dispatching an Nx CAugmered Inspection Team to the site to determine the extent of the problem. Moreover, you assured us that the agency is raking appropriate action to ensure tiat similhr incidents do not occur at other nuclear plants.
While wve appreciate that. tile Commission is,aking tiffs issue seriously, we are concerned that incidents like this at Peach IBotto in Coul Id u nderm inc the acenc1Vs Ipublic credibility despite the agency's elTorts to substantially upgrade the saflety and security of nuclear facilities around the COLUntrv. T"'is. we request that NRC provide a report to the Subcommittee at the next 'NRC oversight hearing., wxhich is currently scheduled lor Fe'bruary 28. 2.008. In this report. please includc the ftOllowinu:
- 1)
A description of'the Inspection Team's findinges f'rom its visit I'ollowxing the discovery ofthe inattenlivC giuards:
- 2)
A clescription of'all Ib' low-ul1 actions taken by. the N C an
- 3)
A description arnd analysis of the adequacy of the NRC's alleation review proccss.
As we have said time and time aca in. the sa l aiid secure operation of the 104 currently licensed reactors is abscltutely critical if Iv'e are to license and build new ones. We look.
forward to the Commission's report at the hearing on this very important issue. Please contact either ToMn Lawler at (202) 224-3 168 or TJ Kint at (202).224-2 160 of our staff if you have amY CluCstions regard ing this matter.
