SUMMARY

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a security baseline inspection at R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.

List of Findings and Violations

No findings or violations of more than minor significance were identified.

Additional Tracking Items

None.

INSPECTION SCOPES

Unless otherwise noted, baseline security inspections were conducted in accordance with the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter 2201, Security Inspection Program for Commercial Nuclear Power Reactors. 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. Publicly available IPs are located at:

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html.

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 baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or a 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.

In response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency declared on January 31, 2020, by the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services on the public health risks of the coronavirus, R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant pursued an exemption to security officer training and requalification requirements (ML20330A291). In addition to these exemptions, licensees implemented additional actions or alternatives allowed in response to health concerns within existing regulatory guidance available in RG 5.75 to ensure annual Force on Force exercises were conducted as safely as possible while maintaining the requirements to simulate as closely as practicable site specific conditions and minimizing the number and effects of artificialities associated with these exercises (Part 73, Appendix B, VI.C.3)

71130.02 - Access Control

The inspectors evaluated the security target set program through completion of the following

inspection elements: Review of Power Reactor Target Sets

(1) 02.01, 02.02 a - e, 02.04 a, b,

OTHER ACTIVITIES - BASELINE

71151 - Performance Indicator Verification The inspectors verified licensee performance indicators submittals listed below:
