NAME/TITLE: James M. Trapp, ChiefORGANIZATION: RI/DRS/PSB1 BASIS - DG-SG-1 (300) Physical Protection Program SIGNATURE_/RA by D. Caron for/_ DATE: 12/19/07 Mr. W. Levis2 This report documents two findings of very low security significance (i.e., Green as determinedby the Physical Protection Significance Determination Process). The procedure 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 left the site. Both findings had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance because the training program did not employ current and up-to-date procedures.
H.2 (c). Additionally, a licensee - identified violation which was determined to be of very low safety significance is listed in this report.

If you contest these non-cited violations, 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 Regional Administrator Region I; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Salem and Hope Creek Generating Stations.
