KEWAUNEE POWER STATION NRC SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION REPORT 05000305/2008405(DRS)

Dear Mr. Christian:

On September 19, 2008, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at your Kewaunee Power Station. 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 September 19, 2008, with Mr. Scace 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 inspector reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

This report documents one NRC-identified finding of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process). 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 inspector left the site. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance because the licensee failed to use conservative assumptions in their decision-making process.

However, because of its very low security significance, and because the issue was entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating the violation as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV)

consistent with Section VI.A.1 of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest this NCV, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis EXEMPT FROM PUBLIC DISCLOSURE May be exempt from public release under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552)

Exemption number: 5___________ Enclosure transmitted herewith contains Nuclear Regulatory Commission review required before public Safeguards Information. When separated release. from enclosure, this transmittal document is decontrolled.
