SUBJECT:
ISSUANCE OF DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL INTERIM STAFF GUIDANCE DI&C-ISG-01, CYBER SECURITY
Dear Mr. Marion:
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) Digital Instrumentation and Control (DI&C) Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) addressing the application of digital technology to operating and new nuclear power reactors and fuel cycle facilities.
Consistent with the Project Plan dated July 12, 2007 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML071900253), the DI&C Task Working Groups (TWGs) have been continuously working with their industry counterparts to develop ISGs to refine, enhance, and clarify existing guidance. The approved ISGs will help guide NRCs reviewers in their reviews of DI&C technology, and will be in effect until they are further refined and incorporated, as appropriate, into revisions of applicable regulatory documents.
Enclosed for your information is a copy of the finalized DI&C-ISG-01, Cyber Security (ADAMS Accession No. ML072980159) along with Appendix A to the ISG (ADAMS Accession No. ML072980164, not publicly available).
Previously issued ISGs include DI&C-ISG-02, 04 and 05 issued in September, 2007.
The above ISG does not convey a change in the NRCs regulations or how they are to be interpreted. Since ISGs provide documentation of the existing acceptance review criteria associated with existing regulations, the NRC staff did not perform a backfit evaluation as no backfits are imposed by the enclosed ISG.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-1274.
Sincerely,
/RA/
John A. Grobe, Associate Director Engineering and Safety Systems Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
