Mr. Eric Carr President and Chief Nuclear Officer PSEG Nuclear, LLC - N09 P. O. Box 236 Hancocks Bridge, NJ 08038

SUBJECT: SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - INFORMATION REQUEST FOR THE CYBER SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION, NOTIFICATION TO PERFORM INSPECTION 05000 272/2022402 AND 05000311/2022402

Dear Mr. Carr:

On September 19, 2022, 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 Salem Nuclear Generating Station. The inspection will be performed to evaluate and verify your ability to meet the requirements of the NRCs Cyber Security Rule, Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 73, Section 54, Protection of Digital Com puter and Communication Systems and Networks. The onsite portion of the inspection will take place September 19-23, 2022.

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 IP 71130.10. This information should be made available either on an online repository (preferred) or digital media (CD/DVD) no later than June 13, 2022. The inspection team will review this information and, by Ju ly 22, 2022, 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 C yber Security Program selected for the cyber security inspection. This information will be requested for review in the regional office prior to the inspection by August 19, 2022, as identified above.

The third group of requested documents consists of those items that the ins pection team will review, or need access to, during the inspection. Please have this information available by the first day of the onsite inspection, Septem ber 19, 2022. The fourth group of information is necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking i ssues 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 Amar Patel. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Harry Balian of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 610-337-5220 or via e-mail at amar.patel@nrc.gov.

This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, control number 3150-0011. 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.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs 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).

Sincerely, Glenn T. Dentel, Chief Engineering Branch 2 Division of Operating Reactor Safety

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 Cyber Security Program ( CSP) elements to develop a site-specific inspection plan. The first RFI is used to identify the list of crit ical 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 inspection procedure. The first RFIs requested information is specified below in Table RFI #1. Th e Table RFI #1 information is requested to be provided to the regional office by June 13, 2022, 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 system s and equipm ent list to your staff by July 22, 2022, which will identify the specific system s and equipm ent 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 August 19, 2022.
