SUBJECT:
KEWAUNEE POWER STATION, MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3, NORTH ANNA POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, AND SURRY POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RE: RESPONSE TO SECURITY BULLETIN 2007-01 (TAC NOS. MD7611, MD7618, MD7619, MD7623, MD7624, MD7657, MD7658)
Dear Mr. Christian:
By letter dated February 8, 2008, Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc., Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc., and Virginia Electric and Power Company submitted the required written response to Security Bulletin 2007-01 Security Officer Attentiveness for the subject plants in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.54(f) or 10 CFR 70.22(d).
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has reviewed the February 8, 2008, submittal and has determined that additional information is required to complete the final NRC staff assessment of the Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc., Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc., and Virginia Electric and Power Company response to Security Bulletin 2007-01. Security Bulletin 2007-01 requested licensees to provide information regarding administrative and managerial programs and controls established to prevent, identify and correct security personnel inattentiveness, complicity, and failures to implement the behavioral observation program by individuals among licensee security personnel including security contractors and subcontractors.
The NRC staff will use the additional information received to inform the Commission and to determine if further regulatory action is warranted or if additional assessment of the Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc., Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc., and Virginia Electric and Power Company program implementation is needed.
The specific information requested is addressed in the enclosure to this letter. The draft questions were sent to Margaret Earle, from your staff, on June 27, 2008, to ensure that the questions were understandable, the regulatory basis for the questions was clear, and to determine if the information was previously docketed. Additionally a response time of within 35 days of the date of this letter was communicated. Your staff did not request a conference call.
Before submitting responses to the NRC, licensees must evaluate them for proprietary, sensitive, safeguards, or classified information and mark such information appropriately.
If circumstances result in the need to revise the requested response date, please contact me at 301-415-1603.
Sincerely,
/RA/
