PRELIMINARY GREATER THAN GREEN FINDING

Dear Mr. Dietrich:

On May 16, 2012, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security

baseline inspection at your San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3. The

enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on

May 16, 2012, with Mr. Doug Bauder, Vice President and Station 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 attached report documents one finding that has preliminarily been determined to be Greater

than Green (i.e., finding of greater than very low security significance) that may result in the

need for further evaluation to determine the significance and, therefore, the need for additional

NRC action. The finding is described in the enclosed inspection report. The finding was

assessed based on the best available information, using the Physical Protection Significance

Determination Process (PPSDP). The deficiencies were 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 arrived on site. The

finding is also an apparent violation of NRC requirements and is being considered for escalated

enforcement action in accordance with the Enforcement Policy, which can be found on the

NRCs Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/enforcement.

In accordance with NRC Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0609, we intend to complete our

evaluation using the best available information and issue our final determination of security

significance within 90 days of the date of this letter. The significance determination process

encourages an open dialogue between the NRC staff and the licensee; however, the dialogue

should not impact the timeliness of the staffs final determination.

Before we make our final significance determination, we are providing you with an opportunity to

(1) attend a Regulatory Conference where you can present to the NRC your perspective on the

facts and assumptions the NRC used to arrive at the finding and assess its significance; or

(2) submit your position of the finding to the NRC in writing. If you request a Regulatory

Conference, it should be held within 30 days of the receipt of this letter and we encourage you

to submit supporting documentation at least one week prior to the conference in an effort to

make the conference more efficient and effective. If a Regulatory Conference is held, it will not

be open for public observation. If you decide to submit only a written response, such submittal

should be sent to the NRC within 30 days of your receipt of this letter. If you decline to request

a Regulatory Conference or submit a written response, you relinquish your right to appeal the

final SDP determination, in that by not doing either, you fail to meet the appeal requirements

stated in the Prerequisite and Limitation sections of Attachment 2 of IMC 0609.

Please contact Mr. Michael C. Hay, Chief, Plant Support Branch 1, Division of Reactor Safety,

at (817) 200-1527 and in writing within 10 days from the issue date of this letter to notify the

NRC of your intentions. If we have not heard from you within 10 business days, we will continue

with our significance determination and enforcement decision. The final resolution of this matter

will be conveyed in separate correspondence.

Because the NRC has not made a final determination in this matter, no Notice of Violation is

being issued for this inspection finding at this time. In addition, please be advised that the

number and characterization of the apparent violation described in the enclosed inspection

report may change as a result of further NRC review.

Additionally, one self-revealing finding of very low security significance (i.e., Green as

determined by the PPSDP) 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

arrived on site.

This finding was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements.

You should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis

for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk,

Washington D.C. 20555-0001; with copies to (1) the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, Region IV, 1600 E. Lamar Blvd, Arlington, Texas 76011-4511; (2) the

Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington D.C. 20555-

0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.

One cross-cutting aspect was assigned to each finding. The cross-cutting aspects were both

related to human performance. The first involved the failure to develop a site procedure which

addressed the need to conduct a cyber security analysis of electronic devices designated for

Safeguards Information (SGI) use and the second involved the failure of personnel to follow

procedural guidance, [H.2.(c)] and [H.4.(b)], respectively. 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 Regional Administrator,

Region IV, and the NRC Resident Inspector at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.

Further, the NRC has determined that a violation of NRC requirements occurred involving the

failure to maintain complete and accurate information. Specifically, a licensee employee failed

to promptly report an August 27, 2007, arrest for public intoxication, which was information

required to be maintained by 10 CFR 73.56(h) (2007). This violation would normally be

categorized at Severity Level IV. However, in accordance with Section 3.5 of the Enforcement

Policy, the NRC will exercise discretion and not issue a violation.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," once separated from the

enclosure, a copy of this letter will be made available electronically for public inspection in the

NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access Management

System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-

rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

However, the material enclosed within contains Security-Related Information in accordance with

10 CFR 2.390(d)(1) and its disclosure to unauthorized individuals could present a security

vulnerability. Therefore, the material in the enclosure will not be made available electronically

for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs ADAMS, accessible

from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. Because this issue

involves Security-Related Information, if you choose to respond, your response will not be made

available for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs ADAMS. If

Safeguards Information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the

level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21. Otherwise, mark your entire response Security-

Related Information in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1) and follow the instructions for

withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1). In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(ii), the NRC is

waiving the affidavit requirements for your response.
