SUBJECT:

R. E. GINNA - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-244/02-05

Dear Dr. Mecredy:

On September 28, 2002, the NRC completed an inspection of your R. E. Ginna facility. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on October 8, 2002 with Joe Widay and other members of your staff.

This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your operating license. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

Based on the results of this inspection, the inspectors identified four issues of very low safety significance (Green). Two of the issues were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements. However, because of their very low safety significance and because they have been entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating these issues as non-cited violations, in accordance with Section VI.A.1 of the NRCs Enforcement Policy. If you deny these non-cited violations, you should provide a response with the basis of your denial, within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:

Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region 1; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Ginna facility.

The NRC has increased security requirements at the Ginna facility in response to terrorist acts on September 11, 2001. Although the NRC is not aware of any specific threat against nuclear facilities, the NRC has issued an Order and several threat advisories to commercial power reactors to strengthen licensees capabilities and readiness to respond to a potential attack.

The NRC continues to inspect the licensees security controls and its compliance with the Order and current security regulations.

Dr. Robert In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publically Available Records (PARS) component of the NRCs document management system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website in the Public Electronic Reading Room, http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

Sincerely,

/RA/
