SUMMARY

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a security baseline inspection at Point Beach Nuclear 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

Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs)in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html.

Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 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.

The inspectors evaluated the access control program through completion of the following

inspection elements: Access Control

(1) Tier I: All Tier II: 02.06 (b - c); 02.08 (a, d - g, i)

Tier III: 02.09

71130.04 - Equipment Performance, Testing, and Maintenance

The inspectors evaluated the security equipment testing and maintenance program through the

completion of the following elements requirements: Equipment Performance, Testing, and Maintenance

(1) Tier I: All Tier II: 02.09 (a - b); 02.10; 02.12; 02.13 Tier III: 02.15 (a, c)

71130.05 - Protective Strategy Evaluation

The inspectors evaluated the licensee's protective strategy through completion of the following

procedure elements: Protective Strategy Evaluation

(1) Tier I: All Tier II: 02.05 a; 02.06 (a - d, g - m); 02.07 (a - d)

Tier III: 02.08; 02.09 (a, b); 02.11 (a)

(2) Observed annual FOF exercise for calendar year 2022

71130.09 - Security Plan Changes

The inspectors evaluated the security plan changes through completion of the following

procedure elements: Security Plan Changes

(1) Since the last NRC inspection of this program area, Security Plan Revision 17 was implemented based on your determination, in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.54(p)(2), that the changes resulted in no decrease in safeguards effectiveness of the security plan, and that the revised security plan changed continues to meet the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 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.
