Subject:
SECY: RBS Relocation of BEOF Alan:
I waited approximately 10 minutes to see if you were going to be on conference call with licensee, but then proceeded.
Present on the call were the following licensee representatives and myself:
Kristi Huffstatler (Licensing)
Dean Burnett (Site EP Manager)
William Renz (Corporate EP Director)
I indicated that the purpose of the call was to clarify a statement from Entergys March 22, 2012 letter responding to a request for additional information regarding whether any other facilities located within 25 miles of the River Bend Station (RBS) were evaluated as possible sites for the proposed back-up EOF. In Entergys response, the licensee identified that four (4) facilities within 25 miles of RBS were evaluated, but that there are concerns with cyber security, physical security, and limited parking at each of these facilities.. Specifically, the licensee was asked to clarify what were the cyber security concerns at these other facilities, and to specify whether these cyber security concerns also existed at the proposed facility.
The licensees Site EP Manager (Dean Burnett) responded that these other facilities were considered tertiary IT locations, and therefore, had a potential to be vulnerable to a cyber security attack and/or IT system interruptions. Mr. Burnett clarified that the proposed facility is considered a primary Entergy IT hub, and as such, as redundant capabilities. This along with the proposed facility being continuously occupied, physically secured facility, did not constitute a credible cyber security concern as posed at other locations.
I indicated that at this time, this response adequately address the NRCs query pending further NRC staff comment during final concurrence of SECY Paper.
