SUMMARY

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

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.

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: 10 Requirements (02.06 a-d, 02.07 a, 02.08 a-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

(1) Tier I: All Requirements Tier II: 14 Requirements: 02.06(a - d, f, h, i, m, n), 02.07(a - e)

(2) Tier III: 4 Requirements: 02.08, 02.09(b), 02.10(a), 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)

The inspectors evaluated the security plan changes through completion of the following procedure elements:

(1) Since the last NRC inspection of this program area, Security Plan Revision(s) 17 to 18 were 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.

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 03.17) (1 Sample)
