Additional Tracking Items
None.
INSPECTION SCOPES
Unless otherwise noted, decommissioning 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 activities were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter 2202, Security Inspection Program for Decommissioning 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/inspectionprocedure/index.html.
DECOMMISSIONING SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
81200.02 - Access Control for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors
The inspectors evaluated the security access control program for decommissioning nuclear power reactors through completion of the following inspection elements:
Access Control for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors (1 Sample)
(1)02.01 a-e, 02.02 a-l, 02.03 a-n
81200.04 - Equipment Performance, Testing, and Maintenance for Decommissioning Nuclear
Power Reactors The inspectors evaluated the security equipment performance, testing, and maintenance program for decommissioning nuclear power reactors through completion of the following inspection elements:
Equipment Performance, Testing, and Maintenance for Decommissioning Nuclear Power
Reactors (1 Sample)
(1)02.01, 02.02 a-j, 02.03 a-d, 02.04 a-j, 02.05 a-c, 02.06 a-f, 02.07 a-d, 02.08 a-e, 02.10
81200.09 - Security Plan Changes for Decommissioning Power Reactors
Security Plan Changes for Decommissioning Power Reactors (1 Sample)
- (1) Since the last NRC inspection of this program area, Security Plan Revisions 16 to 18 were implemented based on your determination, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(p)(2), that the changes resulted in no decrease in safeguards effectiveness of the security plan; and that the revised security plan continued to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(b). The inspectors conducted a review of the security plan changes to evaluate for potential decrease in safeguards effectiveness of the security plan. However, this review does not constitute formal NRC approval of the changes. Therefore, these changes remain subject to future NRC inspection in their entirety.
