INSPECTION SCOPES
Unless otherwise noted, baseline 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 activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter 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. Publicly available IPs are located at:
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html.

===inspection elements:
Access Control===
(1)
- Tier I: All Requirements
- Tier II: 8 Requirements (02.06 a - d, 02.07 a, 02.08 a, b, e)
- Tier III: 1 Requirement (02.09)
71130.05 - Protective Strategy Evaluation
The inspectors evaluated the licensee's protective strategy through completion of the following procedure elements:
Protective Strategy Evaluation (2 Samples)
(1)

- Tier II: (02.05 a, 02.06 a, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, 02.07 a, b, c, e)
(2)
- Tier III: (02.08, 02.09 a, b, 02.11 a)
71130.09 - Security Plan Changes
The inspectors evaluated the security plan changes through completion of the following procedure elements:
Review Security Plan Changes (IP Section 02.01) (1 Sample)
- (1) Since the last NRC inspection of this program area, Security Plan Revision 18 HNP was 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 changed continues 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.

71151 - Performance Indicator Verification
The inspectors verified licensee performance indicators submittals listed below:
PP01: Protected Area Security Equipment Performance Index Sample (IP Section 02.17) (1 Sample)

INSPECTION RESULTS
URI Security URI URI 05000321,05000366/2019201-01 71130.05
Description:
A URI was identified for whether the licensee adequately analyzed site-specific conditions that may affect the specific measures needed to design and implement the sites physical protection program. NSIR completed their review of the analysis the licensee sent to close the URI. Based on NSIR's review of the licensee's analysis the equipment in question can withstand the Design Base Threat (DBT) Waterborne Improvised Explosive Device (WBIED). No findings or violations were identified.
Corrective Action Reference(s): Licensee furnished an analysis to NSIR showing the equipment in question could withstand the DBT WBIED. No additional corrective actions were needed.
