SUBJECT:
R. E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - NRC SECURITY INSPECTION
REPORT 05000244/2013202
Dear Mr. Pacher:
On April 30, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at
your R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. 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 April 30, 2013, with you and
other members of your staff.
NRC inspectors 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.
One NRC-identified finding of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determined by the
Physical Protection Security Significance Determination Process) was identified during this
inspection. The deficiency was promptly corrected or compensated for, and the plant was in
compliance with applicable physical protection and security requirements within the scope of
this inspection before the inspectors left the area.
This finding was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. However, the NRC is
treating this violation as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the NRC
If you contest the violation or significance of this NCV, 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
The enclosure transmitted herewith contains Safeguards Information. When separated from

copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement, U. S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident
Inspector at the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant.
One cross-cutting aspect was assigned to this finding in the area of Human Performance
because the licensee failed to conduct effectiveness reviews of security-significant decisions to
verify the validity of the underlying assumptions and identify possible unintended consequences.
If you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment 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, Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (NSIR); and to
the Branch Chief, Security Performance Evaluation Branch, Division of Security Operations,
NSIR.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs
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
NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is
accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public
Electronic Reading Room).
However, the material enclosed herewith contains Safeguards Information as defined by
10 CFR 73.21 and its disclosure to unauthorized individuals is prohibited by Section 147 of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Therefore, the material in the enclosure will not be
made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from
the PARS component of NRCs ADAMS. If you choose to provide a response and Safeguards
Information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of
protection described in 10 CFR 73.21. Otherwise, if security-related information is necessary to
provide an acceptable response, please mark your entire response Security-Related
