SUBJECT:

DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNIT 1 INFORMATION REQUEST FOR THE CYBER-SECURITY FULL IMPLEMENTATION INSPECTION, NOTIFICATION TO PERFORM INSPECTION 05000346/2021401

Dear Mr. Brown:

On March 2, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) provided the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 an Information Request for the Cyber-Security Full Implementation Inspection and Notification to Perform Inspection 05000346/2020403 (ML20062G422). The onsite portion of this inspection was to take place during the weeks of July 27, 2020, and August 10, 2020. However, because of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and potential related health concerns, the inspection was delayed by the NRC.

Based on discussions with your staff for an acceptable date to perform this inspection, the NRC has rescheduled this inspection. The onsite portion of the inspection will take place during the weeks of March 29, 2021, and April 12, 2021. The inspection will be performed in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71130.10P Cyber-Security, issued May 15, 2017, at your Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. The inspection will be performed to evaluate and verify your ability to meet full implementation requirements of the NRCs Cyber-Security Rule, Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 73, Section 54, Protection of Digital Computer and Communication Systems and Networks.

Experience has shown that these 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, the March 2, 2020, letter (ML20062G422)

enclosed a request for documents needed for the inspection. These documents were divided into four groups.

• The first group specified information necessary to assist the inspection team in choosing the focus areas (i.e., sample set) to be inspected by the Cyber-Security Inspection Procedure. This information and the specific items to be reviewed have been previously provided to the regional office.

• The second group of additional requested documents will assist the inspection team in the evaluation of the critical systems and critical digital assets, defensive architecture, and the areas of your plants Cyber-Security Program selected for the Cyber-Security Inspection. This information and the specific items to be reviewed have been previously provided to the regional office. * The third group of requested documents consists of those items that the inspection team will review, or need access to, during the inspection. Please have this information available by the first day of the onsite inspection, March 29, 2021.

• The fourth group of information is necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues 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 George M. Hausman. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Gwen A. Ellithorpe of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 630-829-9743 or via e-mail at George.Hausman@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.

This letter and its enclosure will be made available for public inspection and copying at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Sincerely, George M. Digitally signed by George M. Hausman Hausman Date: 2021.01.14 07:50:47-06'00'
