UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 319 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-58 AND AMENDMENT NO. 303 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-74 INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANY DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT. UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-315 AND 50-316

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By application dated September 11, 2012, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12262A480), Indiana Michigan Power (I&M, the licensee) requested changes to the renewed facility operating licenses for Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant (CNP), Units 1 and 2. The proposed changes would revise the scope of Cyber Security Plan (CSP) Implementation Schedule Milestone 6 and the existing license conditions in the facility operating licenses. Milestone 6 of the CSP implementation schedule concerns the identification, documentation, and implementation of cyber security controls (technical, operational, and management) for critical digital assets (CDAs) related to target set equipment. I&M is requesting to modify the scope of Milestone 6 to apply to the technical cyber security controls only. The operational and management controls, as described in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 08-09, Revision 6 would be implemented concurrent with the full implementation of the Cyber Security Program (Milestone 8). Thus, all CSP activities would be fully implemented by the completion date, identified in Milestone 8 of the licensee's CSP implementation schedule.

Portions of the letter dated September 11, 2012, contain sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information and, accordingly, those portions are withheld from public disclosure.

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

The NRC staff reviewed and approved the licensee's existing CSP implementation schedule by License Amendment Nos. 315 and 299 dated July 28,2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML11182A178), concurrent with the incorporation of the CSP into the facility current licensing basis. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff considered the following Enclosure

- 2 regulatory requirements and guidance in its review of the current license amendment request to modify the existing CSP implementation schedule:

• Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 73.54 states: "Each [CSP]

submittal must include a proposed implementation schedule. Implementation of the licensee's cyber security program must be consistent with the approved schedule."

• The licensee's renewed facility operating licenses include license conditions that require the licensee to fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Commission-approved CSP.

• Amendment Nos. 315 and 299, dated July 28, 2011, which approved the licensee's CSP and implementation schedule, included the following statement: 'The implementation of the CSP, including the key intermediate milestone dates and the full implementation date, shall be in accordance with the implementation schedule submitted by the licensee on April 8, 2011, and approved by the NRC staff with this license amendment. All subsequent changes to the NRC-approved CSP implementation schedule will require prior NRC approval pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90."

In a letter to the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) dated March 1, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. IVIL110070348), the NRC staff acknowledged that the cyber security implementation schedule template was "written generically and licensees that use the template to develop their proposed implementation schedules may need to make changes to ensure the submitted schedule accurately accounts for site-specific activities."

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

Amendment Nos. 315 and 299 to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-58 and DPR-74 for CNP were issued on July 28,2011. The NRC staff also approved the licensee's CSP implementation schedule, as discussed in the safety evaluation issued with the amendments. The implementation schedule had been submitted by the licensee based on a template prepared by NEI, which the NRC staff found acceptable for licensees to use to develop their CSP implementation schedules (ADAMS Accession No. ML110600218). The licensee's proposed implementation schedule for the Cyber Security Program identified completion dates and bases for the following eight milestones:

1) Establish the Cyber Security Assessment Team;

2) Identify Critical Systems (CSs) and CDAs;

3) Install a deterministic one-way device between lower level devices and higher level devices;

4) Implement the security control "Access Control For Portable And Mobile Devices";

5) Implement observation and identification of obvious cyber related tampering to existing insider mitigation rounds by incorporating the appropriate elements;

6) Identify, document, and implement cyber security controls as per "Mitigation of Vulnerabilities and Application of Cyber Security Controls" for CDAs that could adversely impact the design function of physical security target set equipment;

- 3

7) Commence ongoing monitoring and assessment activities for those target set CDAs whose security controls have been implemented;

8) Fully implement the esp.

3.1 Licensee's Proposed Changes Currently, Milestone 6 of CNP's CSP requires I&M to identify, document, and implement cyber security controls for CDAs that could adversely impact the design function of physical security target set equipment by December 31, 2012. These cyber security controls consist of technical, operational and management security controls. In its September 11,2012, application, I&M proposed to modify Milestone 6 to change the scope of the cyber security controls due to be implemented on December 31, 2012, to include only the NEI 08-09, Revision 6, Appendix D technical security controls. I&M proposes to amend its CSP to provide that operational and management security controls, identified in Milestone 6, will be fully implemented by a later date, which is the completion date identified in Milestone 8 of the CSP implementation schedule. The licensee stated that implementing the technical cyber security controls for target set CDAs provides a high degree of protection against cyber-related attacks that could lead to radiological sabotage. The licensee further stated that many of its existing programs are primarily procedure-based programs and must be implemented in coordination with the comprehensive Cyber Security Program. The licensee also stated that the existing programs currently in place at CNP (e.g., physical protection, maintenance, configuration management, and operating experience) provide sufficient operational and management cyber security protection during the interim period until the Cyber Security Program is fully implemented.

3.2

NRC Staff Evaluation

The intent of the cyber security implementation schedule was for licensees to demonstrate ongoing implementation of their cyber security program prior to full implementation, which is set for the date specified in Milestone 8. In addition to Milestone 6 and its associated activities, licensees will be completing six other milestones (Milestones 1 through 5 and Milestone 7) by December 31,2012. Activities include establishing a Cyber Security Assessment Team, identifying critical systems and CDAs, installing deterministic one-way devices between defensive levels, implementing access control for portable and mobile devices, implementing methods to observe and identify obvious cyber related tampering, and conducting ongoing monitoring and assessment activities for target set CDAs. In the aggregate, the interim milestones demonstrate ongoing implementation of the cyber security program at CNP.

The NRC staff has reviewed the licensee's evaluation of the proposed change in its submittal dated September 11,2012, and finds that by completing Milestones 1 through 5, Milestone 6 with implementation of technical controls to target set CDAs, and Milestone 7, CNP will have an acceptable level of cyber security protection until full program implementation is achieved.

Technical cyber security controls include access controls, audit and accountability, CDA and communications protection, identification and authentication, and system hardening. These controls are executed by computer systems, as opposed to people, and consist of hardware and software controls that provide automated protection to a system or application. Implementation of technical cyber security controls promotes standardization, trust, interoperability, connectivity, automation, and increased efficiency. For these reasons, the NRC staff concludes that the licensee's approach is acceptable.

- 4 The NRC staff also recognizes that full implementation of operational and management cyber security controls in accordance with requirements of the CNP CSP will be achieved with full implementation of the CNP Cyber Security Program by the date set in Milestone 8. That is, all required elements for the operational and management cyber security controls in accordance with the CNP CSP will be implemented in their entirety at the time of full implementation of the CSP.

The NRC staff does not regard the CSP milestone implementation dates as regulatory commitments that can be changed unilaterally by the licensee, particularly in light of the regulatory requirement at 10 CFR 73.54, that "[i]mplementation of the licensee's cyber security program must be consistent with the approved schedule." As the NRC staff explained in its letter to all operating reactor licensees dated May 9, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML110980538), the implementation of the plan, including the key intermediate milestone dates and the full implementation date shall be in accordance with the implementation schedule submitted by the licensee and approved by the NRC. All subsequent changes to the NRC-approved CSP implementation schedule, thus, will require prior NRC approval pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90.

3.3 Revision to License Condition By letter dated September 11, 2012, the licensee proposed to modify Paragraph 2.0 of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-58 and DPR-74 for CNP, Units 1 and 2, respectively, which provides a license condition to require the licensee to fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the NRC-approved CSP.

The license condition in Paragraph 2.0 of Renewed Operating License No. DPR-58 for CNP, Unit 1 is modified as follows:

The Indiana Michigan Power Company shall fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Commission-approved physical security, training and qualification, and safeguards contingency plans including amendments made pursuant to provisions of the Miscellaneous Amendments and Search Requirements revision to 10 CFR 73.55 (51 FR 27817 and 27822), and the authority of 10 CFR 50.90 and 10 CFR 50.54(p). The combined set of plans 1, which contain Safeguards Information protected under 10 CFR 73.21, is entitled: "Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, and Safeguards Contingency Plan, Revision 1," submitted by letter dated May 1 0, 2006.

The Indiana and Michigan Power Company shall fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Commission-approved Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Cyber Security Plan (CSP), including changes made pursuant to the authority of 10 CFR 50.90 and 10 CFR 50.54(p). The Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant CSP was approved by License Amendment No. 315 as supplemented by a change approved by License Amendment No. 319.

Page 6 of Renewed Operating License No. DPR-58 for CNP, Unit 1 is modified, solely to accommodate re-pagination of the license pages. This change is purely administrative in nature and is therefore acceptable.

- 5 The license condition in Paragraph 2.0 of Renewed Operating License No.

DPR-74 for CNP, Unit 2 is modified as follows:

The Indiana Michigan Power Company shall fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Commission-approved physical security, training and qualification, and safeguards contingency plans including amendments made pursuant to provisions of the Miscellaneous Amendments and Search Requirements revision to 10 CFR 73.55 (51 FR 27817 and 27822), and the authority of 10 CFR 50.90 and 10 CFR 50.54(p). The combined set of plans 1, which contain Safeguards Information protected under 10 CFR 73.21, is entitled: "Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, and Safeguards Contingency Plan, Revision 1," submitted by letter dated May 1 0, 2006.

The Indiana and Michigan Power Company shall fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Commission-approved Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Cyber Security Plan (CSP), including changes made pursuant to the authority of 10 CFR 50.90 and 10 CFR 50.54(p). The Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant CSP was approved by License Amendment No. 299 as supplemented by a change approved by License Amendment No. 303.

3.4 Summary Based on its review of the licensee's submissions, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed changes to Milestone 6 of the licensee's CSP implementation schedule are acceptable. The NRC staff also concludes that, upon full implementation of the licensee's cyber security program, the requirements of the licensee's CSP and 10 CFR 73.54 will be met. Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed changes acceptable.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Michigan State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

This amendment relates solely to safeguards matters and does not involve any significant construction impacts. Accordingly, this amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(12). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.

6.0 CONCLUSION

The NRC staff has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner; (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be

- 6 conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations; and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
