SUMMARY

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

71130.05 - Protective Strategy Evaluation

On January 31, 2020, the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services declared a Public Health Emergency (PHE) on the public health risks of the COVID-19 coronavirus. In response to the PHE, Perry Nuclear Power Plant pursued an exemption to security officer training and requalification requirements (ML20309A135 for specific exemptions approved). In addition to these exemptions, licensees implemented additional actions or alternatives in response to health concerns. As described in existing regulatory guidance (e.g., Regulatory Guide 5.75), licensees implemented measures to ensure annual Force on Force exercises were conducted as safely as possible while maintaining 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).

The inspector evaluated the licensee's protective strategy through completion of the following procedure elements:

Protective Strategy Evaluation (1 Sample)

(1) Observed annual Force-on-Force exercise conducted on 09/21/2021.

71130.07 - Security Training

The inspector evaluated the security training program through completion of the following

procedure elements: Security Training

(1) Tier I: All requirements Tier II: 02.05 a-d, 02.06 a-b Tier III: 02.11 a, 02.12 a-b, 02.13 a-b

71130.09 - Security Plan Changes

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

Review Security Plan Changes (IP Section 02.01) (1 Partial)

(1) (Partial)

The opportunity to apply this procedure was not available in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0306. This sample was not available because the licensee did not conduct the activity covered by this IP. Specifically, the licensee has not initiated a physical security plan change in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.54(p)(2) since the last implementation of this IP.

INSPECTION RESULTS

No findings were identified.

EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS

The inspector verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.

On October 13, 2021, the inspector presented the security baseline inspection results to Rod Penfield and other members of the licensee staff.
