SUMMARY

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a security baseline inspection at Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant,

Units 1&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.

List of Findings and Violations

No findings or violations of more than minor significance were identified.

Additional Tracking Items

None.

INSPECTION SCOPES

Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently 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) 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.

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: 02.06(a-c), 02.07(a), 02.08(a,b,c,e,i)

• Tier III: 02.10(a)

71130.09 - Security Plan Changes

The inspectors evaluated the security plan changes through completion of the following

procedure elements: Security Plan Changes

(1) Since the last NRC baseline inspection of this program area, Security Plan Revision 18-FNP-3 was implemented, based on Southern Nuclear Operating Company's evaluation, and in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(p)(2), that the changes resulted in no decrease in safeguards effectiveness of the security plan and the revised security plan continues to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(b). The inspector 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 those changes. Therefore, the changes remain subject to future NRC inspection in their entirety.
