1. NRC letter to Southern Nuclear Operation Company, Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2, NRC Special Security Inspection Report 05000424/2016404 and 05000425/2016404, Dated February 12, 2016 Ladies and Gentlemen:

In Reference 1, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) identified a preliminary finding related to security and provided options for Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) to request a regulatory conference or submit a written response to present to the NRC our perspective. SNC acknowledged the finding and took immediate corrective actions. A causal analysis is underway which may result in additional corrective actions.

SNC is not requesting a regulatory conference and will not be submitting a 30 day written response. Since a regulatory conference is not requested and a written response will not be submitted, SNC understands that the NRC's final significance determination cannot be appealed.

This letter contains no NRC commitments. If you have any questions, please contact George Gunn at (706) 848-3596.
