SUBJECT:

NORTH ANNA POWER STATION -- NRC SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000338/2009201 AND 05000339/2009201

Dear Mr. Heacock:

On October 30, 2009, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection at the North Anna 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 November 17, 2009, with Mr. Page Kemp, Acting Director Nuclear Station Safety & Licensing and 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.

This report documents one 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 inspectors left the site.

If you disagree with the characterization of the 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, Nuclear Security Incident Response, and to the Branch Chief, Security Performance Evaluation Branch. The information you provide will be considered in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0305. The finding was NRC identified.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs 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 NRCs document system Agency Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site 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 letters enclosures will not be available for public inspection.

Enclosure Contains Safeguards Information. Upon separation, this page is decontrolled. 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 NRCs 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).

Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact us. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Sincerely,

/RA by Michael P. Shannon for/
