Mr. Scott Site Vice President Duke Energy Corporation Oconee Nuclear Station 7800 Rochester Highway Seneca, SC 29672-0752
SUBJECT: OCONEE NUCLEAR PLANT - NRC TEMPORARY INSTRUCTION 2201/004, "INSPECTION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERIM CYBER SECURITY MILESTONES 1 - 7" INSPECTION REPORT NO. 05000269/2013406, 05000270/2013406, AND 05000287/2013406
Dear Mr. Batson:
On May 24, 2013, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed the onsite activities associated with a security temporary instruction inspection at your Oconee Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3. The enclosed report documents the results of this inspection, which were discussed on May 24, 2013, with you and other members of your staff. On July 10, 2013, the NRC conducted a telephone re-exit meeting with members of your staff to discuss the inspection findings.
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 Temporary Instruction (TI) 2201/004, "Inspection of Implementation of Interim Cyber Security Milestones 1-7" issued January 3, 2013.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC identified three issues that were evaluated under the risk significance determination process as having very low safety significance (Green). The NRC has also determined that violations are associated with these issues.
Furthermore, three licensee identified violations (LIVs), which were determined to be of very low safety significance, are discussed in this report. These violations are being treated as Non-
Cited Violations (NCVs), consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy. The NRC identified issues discussed in the report will be subject to enforcement based upon the Security Issues Forum (SIF) panel determination that an exercise of enforcement discretion was appropriate for your "good-faith" attempt to interpret and implement Milestones 1 - 7 commitments. The exercise of enforcement discretion requires that you accept the NRC characterization of identified findings, put the findings into your corrective action program (CAP), and take appropriate corrective action to restore compliance in a timely manner. Once you S. Baston 2 have completed the corrective actions to restore compliance for the NRC identified issues, you should provide a response appropriate for the applicable issue to the NRC Region II Office, Engineering Branch 2 Chief. If you contest the violations discussed in the report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Catawba Nuclear Plant.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's AgencyWide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
However, the material enclosed herewith contains Security-Related Information in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1) and its disclosure to unauthorized individuals could present a security vulnerability. Therefore, the material in the enclosure will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the PARS component of NRC's ADAMS. If you choose to provide a response and security related information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please mark your entire response "Security-Related Information-Withhold from Public Disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390," in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1), and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1). In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(ii), the NRC is waiving the affidavit requirements for your response.
