This letter refers to your conversation with Nick Taylor, Senior Resident Inspector on June 13,
201 0, during which you expressed a concern related to a violation of the protected area by an
unidentified object sometime between 1986 and 1989 at the Cooper Nuclear Station.
In your conversation with Mr. Taylor, you indicated that you would not object to the NRC
requesting information from the licensee with regard to your concern. In addressing this issue,
the NRC will provide the information regarding the craft in the protected area to the licensee for
their review and any subsequent actions. Your name and any other identifying information will
be excluded from the information that is provided to Copper Nuclear Station. Unless the NRC
receives additional information that suggests that our actions should be altered, -we plan no
further action on this matter.
The enclosure with this letter is a brochure entitled, "Reporting Safety Concerns to the NRC,"
which contains information that you may find helpful in understanding our process for review of
safety concerns. The brochure contains an important discussion of the identity protection
provided by the NRC regarding these matters, as well as those circumstances that limit the
NRC's ability to protect a concerned individual's identity.
If a request is filed under the Freedom of Information Act related to your areas of concern, the
information provided will, to the extent consistent with that act, be purged of names and other
potential identifiers. Further, you should be aware you are not considered a confidential source
unless confidentiality has been formally granted in writing.
