SUBJECT:
OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION - SECURITY DECOMMISSIONING INSPECTION REPORT 05000219/2020402
Dear Ms. Cowan:
On November 18, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at the permanently shut down Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (Oyster Creek). On-site inspections were performed November 16 - 18, 2020. Additional inspection activities (in-office reviews) were conducted remotely as a consequence of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) during the inspection period (November 09 - 18, 2020). The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed select procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed site personnel. The NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. Jeffrey Dostal, Site Vice President, and other members of your staff.
Based on the results of the inspection, no violations were identified.
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
No reply to this letter is required. Please contact Dana Caron at 610-337-5140 if you have any questions regarding this matter.
Sincerely, 12/14/2020 X /RA/

SUMMARY

Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station NRC Inspection Report No. 05000219/2020402
This report covers an announced decommissioning program core inspection of the physical protection program at the permanently shutdown Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station performed November 09 - 18, 2020. An on-site inspection was performed on November 16 -
18, 2020. Additional inspection activities (in-office reviews) were conducted remotely during the inspection period as a consequence of the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE). The objective of the inspection was to determine if activities involving the physical protection program, associated with the samples inspected, provide assurance that the licensees program is designed and implemented in a manner that protects against the design basis threat (DBT) of radiological sabotage. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) program for overseeing the security of a shut-down nuclear power reactor is described in Inspection Procedure (IP) 81200, Security. Additionally, for reactors that have permanently shut down and entered decommissioning, violations of regulatory requirements are evaluated using the traditional enforcement process described in the NRCs Enforcement Policy. Under traditional enforcement, violations of more than minor significance are assigned a severity level (SL)ranging from I (most significant) to IV (least significant).
Based on the results of the inspection, no violations of more than minor safety significance were identified.
REPORT DETAILS
Inspection Scope
Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. At the time of this inspection, approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html.
Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) IMC 2202 Appendix A, Security Core Inspection Program. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.
Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the coronavirus (COVID-19), inspectors were directed to begin telework. In addition, regional inspections were evaluated to determine if all or portion of the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be performed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In some cases, portions of an IP were completed remotely and on site. The inspections documented below met the objectives and requirements for completion of the IP.
1. Access Control for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors, IP 81200.02
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated the access control program through completion of a minimum of 50% of the inspection requirements.
Access Control for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors (1 Sample)
1. 02.01 a - e, 02.02 c - g, 02.03 a - c, f, g, I - n, and 02.04 b, 02.05
b. Observations and Violations No violations were identified.
c. Conclusions
The Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station access control program was in accordance with requirements, appropriately developed, and was being effectively implemented in a manner that protects against the DBT of radiological sabotage.
2. Protective Strategy Evaluation and Performance Evaluation Program for
Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors, IP 81200.05
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated the security access control program through completion of a minimum of 50% of the inspection requirements.
Protective Strategy Evaluation and Performance Evaluation Program for
Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors (1 Sample)
1. 02.01 a - g, I, j, k, l, n, 02.02 a - e, g - v, 02.03, 02.04 a - h, j, and 02.05
b. Observations and Violations No violations were identified.
c. Conclusions
The Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station protective strategy evaluation and performance evaluation program was in accordance with requirements, was appropriately developed, and was being effectively implemented in a manner that protects against the DBT of radiological sabotage.
3. Review of Decommissioning Reactor Target Sets, IP 81200.14
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated the target set program through completion of at least the minimum number of the inspection elements (7).
Review of Decommissioning Reactor Target Sets (1 Sample)
1. 02.01, 02.02 a - d, 02.04 a, b, and 02.05
b. Observations and Violations No violations were identified.
c. Conclusions
The Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station target set program was in accordance with requirements, was appropriately developed, and was being effectively implemented in a manner that protects against the DBT of radiological sabotage.
