SUBJECT:

EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT - TARGET SET INSPECTION REPORT 05000321/2010201 AND 05000366/2010201

Dear Mr. Madison:

On April 26, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2. 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 May 28, 2010, with Mr. J. Merritt and other members of the site 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 report documents one NRC-identified finding of very low safety significance (i.e., Green as determined by the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process). This finding was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. 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 site. The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance because the licensee failed to ensure that personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources are available and adequate to assure nuclear safety. Specifically, those necessary for complete, accurate and up-to-date design documentation, procedures, and work packages, and correct labeling of components. H.2(c) If you disagree with the cross-cutting aspect assigned to any finding 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 the Branch Chief, Security Training and Support Branch, NSIR. If you contest this non-cited violation, 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 DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Director, Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (NSIR); the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the Branch Chief, Security Training and Support Branch, NSIR.

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 Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system, 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, because of the security-related concerns contained in the enclosure, and in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, a copy of this letter's enclosure will not be available for public inspection.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(ii), the NRC is waiving the affidavit requirements for your response, if any. This practice will ensure that your response will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRC's document system, 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 Withhold Under 10 CFR 2.390" and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1).

Sincerely,

/RA/ R. Johnson for Barry C. Westreich Deputy Director for Security Oversight Division of Security Operations Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response Docket No.: 50-321, 50-366 License No.: DPR-57, NPF-5 Enclosure:
