SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a security baseline inspection at Byron Station, 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
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.
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 IPs.
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: 02.06a-d; 02.07a; 02.08a, b, e
Tier III: 02.09
71130.04 - Equipment Performance, Testing, and Maintenance
The inspectors evaluated the security equipment testing and maintenance program.
The following elements were evaluated from this IP.
Equipment Performance, Testing, and Maintenance (1 Sample)
- (1) Tier I: All
Tier II: 02.09a; 02.10a; 02.11d; 02.13a Tier III: 02.14; 02.15b
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 inspection of this program area, Security Plan Revisions 17 to 18 were implemented based on your determination, in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (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.
