SUBJECT:
JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT - NRC SECURITY
INSPECTION REPORT 05000348/2009402 AND 05000364/2009402
Dear Mr. Johnson:
On August 28, 2009, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant. The inspection covered one or more of the key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRCs Reactor Oversight Process.
In addition we completed an inspection of the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The purpose of this inspection was to evaluate whether the protection of the ISFSI was in compliance with the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant Security Plan and the additional security measures imposed by the NRC Order dated October 16, 2002. A re-exit meeting was conducted on September 10, 2009, with Mr. Mahan, and other staff members.
This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Commission=s rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
Based on the results of this inspection no findings of significance were identified. However, licensee-identified violations which were determined to be of very low safety significance are listed in this report. These deficiencies were corrected or compensated for and the plant was in compliance with the applicable physical protection and security requirements within the scope of this inspection before the inspectors left the site. However, because of the very low safety significance and because they are entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest these NCVs, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN.: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident B SNC, Inc.
2 Inspector at Farley Nuclear Plant. In addition, if you disagree with the characterization of any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for you disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Farley Nuclear Plant. The information you provide will be considered in accordance with the Inspection Manual Chapter 0305.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "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 NRC's document system, ADAMS.
ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public 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 letter=s enclosure 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 NRC=s 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 your entire response Security-Related Information-Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390 and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1).
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact us.
Sincerely,
/RA/
Michael E. Ernstes, Chief Plant Support Branch 2 Division of Reactor Safety
