Dear Mr. Ridenoure,
By letter dated February 11, 2008, Southern California Edison (the licensee) submitted the required written response to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)Bulletin 2007-01 Security Officer Attentiveness for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3.
The response was submitted to the NRC in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.54(f) and 10 CFR 70.22(d).
The NRC staff has reviewed your submittal and has determined that additional information is needed to complete the final staff assessment of the licensee response to the NRC Bulletin 2007-01. NRC Bulletin 2007-01 requested licensees to provide information regarding administrative and managerial programs and controls established to prevent, identify and correct
- 1) security personnel inattentiveness and complicity, and 2) failures to implement the behavioral observation program for 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 licensee program implementation is needed.
The specific information requested is addressed in the enclosure to this letter. Responses are requested within 35 days of the issuance of this letter. Before submitting responses to the NRC, licensees must evaluate them for proprietary, sensitive, safeguards, or classified information and mark such information appropriately.
