SUBJECT:
TURKEY POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION UNITS 3 & 4 -
NOTIFICATION OF AN NRC CYBERSECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION (NRC
INSPECTION REPORT 05000250/2025405, 05000251/2025405) AND
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)
Dear Robert Coffey:
On August 4, 2025, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a baseline
inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.10 Cyber-Security, Revision 0
at your Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station. The inspection will be performed to evaluate
and verify your ability to meet the Milestone 8 (i.e., full implementation) 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. The onsite portion
of the inspection will take place during the week of August 4th, 2025.
Experience has shown that baseline inspections are extremely resource intensive, both for the
NRC inspectors and the licensee staff. In order to minimize the inspection impact on the site
and to ensure a productive inspection for both parties, we have enclosed a request for
documents needed for the inspection. These documents have been divided into four groups.
The first group specifies information necessary to assist the inspection team in choosing the
focus areas (i.e., sample set) to be inspected by the cyber-security IP. This information should
be made available via compact disc and delivered to the regional office no later than June 20,
2025. The inspection team will review this information and, by June 27, 2025, will request the
specific items that should be provided for review.
The second group of additional requested documents will assist the inspection team in the
evaluation of the critical systems and critical digital assets (CSs/CDAs), defensive architecture,
and the areas of the licensees CSP selected for the cyber-security inspection. This information
will be requested for review in the regional office prior to the inspection, by July 25, 2025.
May 5, 2025

The third group of requested documents consists of those items that the inspection team will
review, or need access to, during the inspection. Please have this information available by the
first day of the onsite inspection.
The fourth group of information is necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues
identified as a result of the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the
lead inspector as the information is generated during the 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 inspection.
The lead inspector for this inspection is Jonathan Montgomery. We understand that our
regulatory contact for this inspection is David Stoia of your organization. If there are any
questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at
(404) 997-4880 or via e-mail at jonathan.montgomery@nrc.gov.
This letter contains mandatory information collections that are subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). The Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
approved these information collections under approval number 3150-0011. The burden to the
public for these information collections is estimated to average 40 hour4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br />(s) per response. Send
comments regarding this information collection to the FOIA, Library and Information Collection
Branch, Office of the Chief Information Officer, Mail Stop: T6-A10M, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, or by email to Infocollects.Resource@nrc.gov, and
to the Desk Officer, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, NEOB-10202, (3150-0011)
OMB, Washington, DC 20503.
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.

I.
Information Requested for In-Office Preparation
The initial request for information (i.e., first RFI) concentrates on providing the inspection
team with the general information necessary to select appropriate components and CSP
elements to develop a site-specific inspection plan. The first RFI is used to identify the
list of critical systems and critical digital assets (CSs/CDAs) plus operational and
management (O&M) security control portions of the CSP to be chosen as the sample
set required to be inspected by the cyber-security IP. The first RFIs requested
information is specified below in Table RFI #1. The Table RFI #1 information is
requested to be provided to the regional office by June 20, 2025, or sooner, to facilitate
the selection of the specific items that will be reviewed during the onsite inspection
weeks.
The inspection team will examine the returned documentation from the first RFI and
identify/select specific systems and equipment (e.g., CSs/CDAs) to provide a more
focused follow-up request to develop the second RFI. The inspection team will submit
the specific systems and equipment list to your staff by June 27, 2025, which will identify
the specific systems and equipment that will be utilized to evaluate the CSs/CDAs,
defensive architecture, and the areas of the licensees CSP selected for the cyber-
security inspection. We request that the additional information provided from the second
RFI be made available to the regional office prior to the inspection by July 25, 2025. All
requests for information shall follow the guidance document referenced above. Items
that have been struck through do not require a response. Bold items denote items that
are not explicitly referenced in the guidance document above.
