Dear Mr. Vitale:
This letter refers to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Office of Investigations (OI) review and interviews conducted with members of your staff to determine whether a former Security Manager at Palisades Nuclear Plant assigned a Security Supervisor to perform armed security officer duties on December 24, 2012, knowing the individual was not qualified to perform the duties. Based on our review of the matter, we did not identify any new violations of NRC requirements and plan no further action at this time.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please contact an NRC Region III Office Allegation Coordinator by calling (800) 522-3025. The NRC Region III Office Allegation Coordinators are Jim Heller, Paul Pelke, Magdalena Gryglak, and Sarah Bakhsh.
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 NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
