RETRACTION

The Security Manager, with personnel from Security and Regulatory Compliance reviewed the incident using the guidance in USNRC Regulatory guide 5.62, Reporting of Safeguards Events, and USNRC Generic Letter 91-03, Reporting of Safeguards events. It was determined that although the document contained some low level safeguards information, the document could not have significantly aided an adversary in defeating a security barrier or in carrying out an act of radiological sabotage as the key piece of safeguards information, an encryption table, was not filled out. Based on that determination JAF is withdrawing the one-hour telephone notification (EN-39777). The event remains a loggable event per 10 CFR 95.57(b). It was entered into the Security Log at the time of notification. The event has also been entered into the licensee's corrective action program for apparent cause determination.

The NRC Resident inspector was notified and the state will be notified.

Notified the Reg 1 RDO(Gray)
