procedure elements: Security Plan Changes
- (1) Since the last NRC baseline inspection of this program area, Edwin I. Hatch Security Plan Revision18-HNP-2.1 to 18-HNP-2.2 was implemented. Based on Southern Nuclear Company's evaluation, and in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(p)(2), the change(s) resulted in no decrease in safeguards effectiveness of the security plan and the revised security plan change(s) continues to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(b).
