SUBJECT:
BRAIDWOOD STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NRC SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000456/2013201 AND 05000457/2013201
Dear Mr. Pacilio:
On January 9, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2. 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 on January 9, 2013, with Mr. Mark Kanavos, Plant Manager, and other members of your staff and on March 27, 2013, with Mr. Brian Finlay, Security Manager, and other members of your staff.
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 procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
The report documents one NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance (i.e., Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process). This finding was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. The deficiency was promptly corrected or compensated for and the plant is in compliance with applicable physical protection and security requirements within the scope of this inspection.
If you contest this non-cited violation, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; the Director, Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (NSIR); the Branch Chief, Security Training and Support Branch, NSIR; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance related to the component of decision-making because the licensee did not use a systematic process to make risk-significant decisions to ensure security was maintained H.1(a). If you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to the finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report with the basis for your disagreement to the Director, NSIR, and the Branch Chief, Security Training and Support Branch, NSIR.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (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 System (PARS)
component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS).

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 the NRCs PARS, ADAMS.
