Dear M r. Rhoades:

On March 30, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at the permanently shut down Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station Unit 1. An on-site inspection was performed on March 28 - 30, 2022. The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed select procedures and records, observed activities, interviewed site personnel and performed site walk-downs. The results of this inspection were discussed with Mr. Craig Smith, Site Regulatory Assurance Lead, and other members of your staff on March 30, 2022, and are described in the enclosed report.

Based on the results of the inspection, no violations of more than minor significance were identified.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRC's Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading -rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Constellation Energy Group (CEG)

Three Mile Island Generating Station Unit 1 NRC Inspection Report No. 05000289/2022 401

This report covers an announced security decommissioning program core inspection of the physical protection program at the Three Mile Island Generating Station - Unit 1 performed March 28 - March 30, 202 2. The objective of the inspection was to determine if activities involving the physical protection program, associated with the samples inspected, provide assurance that the licensees program is designed and implemented in a manner that protects against the design basis threat (DBT) of radiological sabotage. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) oversight of the security of a shut down nuclear power reactor is described in Inspection Procedure (IP) 81200, Security. Additionally, for reactors that have permanently shut down and entered decommissioning, violations of regulatory requirements are evaluated using the traditional enforcement process described in the NRCs Enforcement Policy.

Under traditional enforcement, violations of more than minor significance are assigned a severity level (SL) ranging from I (most significant) to IV (least significant).

Based on the results of this inspection, no violations of safety significance were identified.

REPORT DETAILS

Inspection Scope

Inspection activities were conducted using the appropriate portions of the IPs in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. At the time of this inspection, 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) 2202 Appendix A, Security Core Inspection Program.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee perform ance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.

Access Control for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors, IP 81200.02

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated the access control program through completion of a minimum of 50% of the inspection requirements.

Access Control for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors (1 Sample)

02.01 a - e, 02.02 a - k, 02.03 b - d, g - j, 02.05

b. Observations and Findings

No violations of more than minor significance were identified.

c. Conclusions

The Three Mile Island Generating Station access control program was in accordance with requirements, was appropriately developed, and was being effectively implemented in a manner that protects against the DBT of radiological sabotage.

Security Training for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors, IP 81200.07

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated the security training program through completion of a minimum of 50% of the inspection requirements.

Security Training, (1 Sample)

02.01, 02.02 a, b, d, e, g, 02.03 a - c, 02.04 a, b, 02.06 a - c, 02.07 a, 02.08 a, b, 02.09 a, b, 02.10 a, 02.11 a, 02.12 a, c, 02.13

b. Observations and Findings

No violations of more than minor significance were identified.

Conclusions

The Three Mile Island security training program was in accordance with requirements, was appropriately developed, and was be ing effectively implemented in a manner that protects against the DBT of radiological sabotage.

Security Plan Changes for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors, IP 81200.09

a. Inspection Scope

The inspectors evaluated the security plan changes through completion of the following inspection elements.

Security Plan Changes for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors (1 Sample)

(U) Since the last NRC inspection of this program area, Security Plan Revisions 25 and 26 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 changes continue to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(b).

The inspectors conducted a review of the security plan changes to evaluate for a 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.

b. Observations and Findings

No violations of more than minor significance were identified.

c. Conclusions

The Three Mile Island security plan changes did not result in a non-compliance or violation of regulatory requirements, an adverse impact to the licensees ability to detect, assess, interdict, and neutralize an adversarial force to protect against the DBT of radiological sabotage, or a site-specific vulnerability.

Exit Meeting Summary

On March 30, 2022, the inspector s presented the inspection results to with M r. Craig Smith, Site Regulatory Assurance Lead, and other members of the licensees staff. The inspectors verified that no proprietary information was retained by the inspectors or documented in this report.
