CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION - NOTIFICATION OF CYBER SECURITY TI
MILESTONES 1-7 INSPECTION AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (NRC
INSPECTION REPORT NO. 05000413/2013405 AND 05000414/2013405)
Dear Mr. Henderson:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Region II (RII) staff will conduct an inspection of the Cyber Security Milestones 1-7 requirements
specified by the conditions of your operating license at the Catawba Nuclear Station on March
25 - 29, 2013. The inspection team will be led by Mr. Rodney Fanner, Reactor Inspector, of the
NRC RII office. The team will be composed of personnel from the NRC RII office and personnel
from the NRC office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (NSIR). The inspection will be
conducted in accordance with Temporary Instruction (TI) 2201/004, Inspection of
Implementation of Interim Cyber Security Milestones 1-7. The TI inspection will be performed
to evaluate and verify your ability to meet the interim milestone requirements of the NRCs
Cyber Security Rule, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 73, Section 54,
Protection of Digital Computer and Communication Systems and Networks.
In accordance with 10 CFR 73.54, each nuclear power plant licensee was required to submit
a proposed cyber security plan (CSP) and implementation schedule for NRC review and
approval. On December 14, 2009, by letter (ML093080517) to the Nuclear Energy Institute
(NEI), the NRC provided their expectations for the proposed implementation schedule. On
January 5, 2011, by letter (ML110060093) to the NRC, NEI issued an initial Template for the
Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule (ML110060097). On February 28, 2011, by
letter (ML110600206) to the NRC, NEI provided a revised, Template for the Cyber Security
Plan Implementation Schedule. The purpose of the letters attachment was to provide the
licensee with a generically written template to develop their proposed CSP implementation
schedule. Utilization of the generic template required the licensee to make conforming changes
to ensure the submitted schedule accurately accounted for site-specific activities. The CSP,
implementation schedule, and other applicable information for your facility provided the
implementation aspects, including the key intermediate milestone attributes and dates as well
as the full implementation dates. The implementation aspects were described based in part on

letters to NRC dated November 20, 2009 (ML093410249), August 16, 2010 (ML1023001680,
ML1023001681) and supplemented by letters dated September 27, 2010, March 7, 2011,
April 15, 2011 (ML111090627), and August 9, 2011 (ML11109A0741). By reference to letter
dated August 31, 2011 (ML11216A0642), license condition 2.E was modified for facility
operating licenses NPF-35 and NPF-52 for Catawba Units 1 and 2 to ensure that the CSP
would be implemented and maintained consistent with NRC requirements.
On December 11, 2012, during a conversation between Mr. T. Pasour of your staff, and
Mr. R. Fanner, NRC RII, our respective staffs confirmed arrangements for a three day
information gathering onsite visit and a one-week onsite inspection. The subject TI inspection
provides a programmatic level review and verification of the licensees site-specific
implementation of Interim Milestones 1 through 7. The schedule for the onsite TI Inspection for
the Interim Milestones 1 through 7 is as follows:
Information gathering visit: March 11 - 13, 2013
Onsite inspection: March 25 - 29, 2013
The purpose of the information gathering visit is to: (1) obtain information and documentation
needed to support the TI inspection; (2) become familiar with the Catawba Nuclear Station
Cyber Security Program and plant layout; and (3) arrange administrative details, such as office
space, availability of knowledgeable office personnel and to ensure unescorted site access
privileges.
In order to assure a productive TI inspection, we have enclosed a request for documents
needed to ensure the inspectors are adequately prepared. These documents have been
divided into three groups (I, II, & III). Group I lists information necessary to aid the inspectors in
planning for the TI inspection prior to the information gathering visit. It is requested that this
information be provided to the lead inspector via mail no later than February 15, 2013. Group II
lists information and possible areas for discussion necessary to assist the inspectors during the
TI inspection. It is requested this information be available during the information gathering visit
(March 11, 2013). Group III consists of those items that the inspectors will review, or need
access to, during the TI inspection. Group III also lists the information necessary to aid the
inspectors in tracking questions and answers identified as a result of the TI inspection. It is
requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector as the information is generated
during the TI inspection. It is important that all of these documents are up to date and complete
in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation
and/or the onsite portions of the TI inspection.
This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection
requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, control number 3150-
0011. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document
displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.
Your cooperation and support during this inspection will be appreciated. If you have questions
concerning this inspection, or the inspection team's information or logistical needs, please
contact Mr. Fanner at (404) 997-4638, or me at (404) 997-4511.
