SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a security baseline inspection at Braidwood Generating 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
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), regional inspectors were directed to begin telework. The inspection documented below was determined that the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could, in part, be performed remotely.
SAFEGUARDS
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: 02.09(a); 02.11(a, b, d); 02.12
- Tier III: 02.14; 02.15
71130.05 - Protective Strategy Evaluation
Protective Strategy Evaluation (1 Sample)
(1)
- Tier I: All Requirements
- Tier II: 02.07(a, e)
- Tier III: 02.09(a); 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) (1 Sample)
- (1) Since the last NRC inspection of this program area, Security Plan Revision(s) 16 to 17 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.
INSPECTION RESULTS
No findings were identified.
EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS
The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.
- On August 25, 2020, the inspectors presented the security baseline inspection results to Mr. J. Keenan, Site Vice President, and other members of the licensee staff.
