SUBJECT: BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION
- NRC TEMPORARY INSTRUCTION 2201/004, "INSPECTION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERIM CYBER SECURITY MILESTONES 1-7," REPORT 05000334/2013407 AND 05000412/2013407
Dear Mr. Larson:
On September 13, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a security temporary instruction inspection at your Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The inspection covered the implementation of interim milestones associated with your cyber security program, as outlined in your approved cyber security plan (CSP) and described in Temporary Instruction (TI) 2201/004, "Inspection of Implementation of Interim Cyber Security Milestones 1-7." The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on September 13, 2013, with you and other members of your staff.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license related to the implementation of interim cyber security milestones. The inspection was conducted in accordance with NRC TI 2201/004, "Inspection of Implementation of Interim Cyber Security Milestones 1-7." The team reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.
The report documents two violations for which t he NRC is exercising enforcement discretion.
The NRC is not taking enforcement action for these violations because they meet the criteria established in an NRC Memorandum from Barry C. Westreich, Director, Cyber Security Directorate, Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response, to each regional office and Director, Division of Reactor Safety, Subject: Enhanced Guidance for Licensee Near-Term Corrective Actions to Address Cyber Security Inspection Findings and Licensee Eligibility for
"Good-Faith" Attempt Discretion dated July 1, 2013 (ADAMS Accession Number ML13178A203). Consistent with the NRC Memorandum, you should inform Keith Young, the inspection team leader, in the Region I Office at 610-337-5293, when you complete corrective actions associated with these violations.
