SUBJECT: FERMI POWER PLANT, UNIT 2 NRC SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION REPORT 05000341/2009404(DRS)

Dear Mr. Davis:

On December 10, 2009, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security baseline inspection of your Fermi Power Plant, Unit 2. The inspection covered one or more of the key attributes of the security cornerstone of the NRC's Reactor Oversight Process. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on December 10, 2009, with Mr. B. Salmon and other members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and 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 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 inspector left the site.

The finding had a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance (H.2(c)) because the licensee failed to ensure that personnel, equipment, procedures, and other resources are available and adequate to assure nuclear safety. If you disagree with the characterization of any finding in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, Enclosure contains Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information. When separated from enclosure, this transmittal document is decontrolled. with the basis for your disagreement, to the Regional Administrator, Region III, and the NRC Resident Inspector at Fermi 2. 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 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 System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), 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 enclosures, 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).

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.

Sincerely,/RA/

Eric Duncan, Chief Plant Support Branch Division of Reactor Safety
