SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a security baseline inspection at Beaver Valley Power Station,
Units 1 and 2, in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.
List of Findings and Violations
No findings or violations of more than minor significance were identified.
Additional Tracking Items
None.
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.
Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the coronavirus (COVID-19), inspectors were directed to begin telework. In addition, regional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or a portion of the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be performed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In some cases, portions of an IP were completed remotely and on site. The inspections documented below met the objectives and requirements for completion of the IP.
In response to the COVID-19Public Health Emergency declared on January 31, 2020, by the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services on the public health risks of the coronavirus, Beaver Valley Power Station pursued an exemption to security officer training and requalification requirements (ML20303A213). In addition to these exemptions, licensees implemented additional actions or alternatives allowed in responseto health concerns within existing regulatory guidance available in Regulatory Guide 5.75 to ensure annual Force on Force exercises were conducted as safely as possible whilemaintaining the requirements to simulate as closely as practicable site specific conditions and minimizing the number and effects of artificialities associated with these exercises (Part 73, Appendix B, VI.C.3)
SAFEGUARDS
71130.02 - Access Control
The inspectors evaluated the access control program through completion of the following
===inspection elements:
Access Control===
(1)
- Tier I: All Requirements
- Tier II: 12 Requirements (02.06 a - d, 02.07 a, 02.08 a - e, g, i)
- Tier III: All Requirements
71130.05 - Protective Strategy Evaluation
The inspectors evaluated the licensee's protective strategy through completion of the following inspection elements:
Protective Strategy Evaluation (2 Samples)
(1)
- Tier I: All Requirements
- Tier II: 19 Requirements (02.05 a, 02.06 a, c, d - n, 02.07 a - d and e)
- Tier III: 5 Requirements (02.08, 02.09 a, b, 02.10 a, and 02.11 a)
- (2) The inspectors evaluated the Security Performance Evaluation Program.
71130.09 - Security Plan Changes
The inspectors evaluated the security plan changes through completion of the following inspection elements:
Review Security Plan Changes (IP Section 02.01) (1 Sample)
- (1) Since the last NRC inspection of this program area, Security Plan Revision 27 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.
71130.14 - Review of Power Reactor Target Sets
The inspectors evaluated the security target set program through completion of the following inspection elements:
Review of Power Reactor Target Sets (1 Sample)
- (1) 02.01, 02.02 (a-e), 02.03, 02.04 (a),
OTHER ACTIVITIES - BASELINE
===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) January 1, 2020 through December 31,
INSPECTION RESULTS
No findings were identified.
EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS
The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.
