SUBJECT:

CALLAWAY PLANT - INFORMATION REQUEST FOR THE CYBER-SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION, NOTIFICATION TO PERFORM INSPECTION 05000483/2022402

Dear Mr. Diya:

On March 28, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a baseline inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.10 Cyber-Security, Revision 0 at your Callaway Plant. The inspection objectives are to provide assurance that the digital computer and communication systems and networks associated with safety, security, or emergency preparedness (SSEP) functions are adequately protected against cyber-attacks in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 73.54 and your approved cyber security plan (CSP), and to verify that any CSP changes and reports have been made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(p).

Experience has shown that baseline inspections are extremely resource intensive, both for the NRC inspectors and licensee staff. In order to minimize the inspection impact on the site and to ensure a productive inspection for both parties, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for the inspection. These documents have been divided into four groups.

The first group specifies information necessary to assist the inspection team in choosing the focus areas (i.e., sample set) to be inspected by the cyber-security IP. This information should be made available via digital media (CD/DVD) or an online document repository and delivered/available to the regional office no later than January 7, 2022. The inspection team will review this information and, by January 31, 2022, will request the specific items that should be provided for review.

The second group of requested documents will assist the inspection team in the evaluation of the critical systems and critical digital assets (CSs/CDAs), defensive architecture, and the areas of your cyber security program selected for review. This information will be requested for review in the regional office prior to the inspection by February 28, 2022, as identified above.November 30, 2021 The third group of requested documents consists of additional items that the inspection team will review, or need access to, during the inspection. Please have this information available by the first day of the onsite inspection, March 28, 2022.

The fourth group of information aids the inspection team in tracking issues identified during the inspection. It is requested that this information be provided to the lead inspector as the information is generated during the inspection. It is important that all requested documents are up to date and complete in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of the inspection.

The lead inspector for this inspection is Sam Graves. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Anthony Lowry of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 817-200-1102 or via e-mail at samuel.graves@nrc.gov

I. Information Requested for In-Office Preparation

This initial request for information (i.e., first RFI) concentrates on providing the inspection team with information necessary to select appropriate components and cyber security program elements to develop a site-specific inspection plan. The first RFI is used to identify the critical digital assets or systems to be chosen as the sample set required to be inspected by the cyber-security IP. The first RFIs requested information is specified below in Table RFI #1. Please provide the Table RFI #1 to the regional office by January 7, 2022, or sooner, to facilitate the selection of the specific items for review.

The inspection team will examine the documentation from the first RFI and select specific systems and equipment to provide a more focused follow-up request to develop the second RFI. The inspection team will submit the specific systems and equipment list to your staff by January 31, 2022, which will be utilized to evaluate the equipment, defensive architecture, and the areas of the licensees cyber security program for review.

Please provide the information requested by the second RFI to the regional office by February 28, 2022. All requests for information shall follow the guidance document referenced above. For information requests that have more than ten (10) documents, please provide a compressed (i.e., Zip) file of the documents.
