REFERENCE:
- 1. Letter, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. to USNRC, Cyber Security Plan Implementation Schedule, Proposed Change No. 308, BVY 13-109, dated December 19, 2013 (TAC No. MF3306)
- 2. Letter, USNRC to Arkansas Nuclear One, Request for Additional Information Regarding a Proposed Revision to the Cyber Security Implementation Schedule, dated April 30, 2014
Dear Sir or Madam:
By Reference 1, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy) submitted a request for amendment to the operating license for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VY), which provided details about the impact of the additional time requested on the effectiveness of the overall cyber security program in the context of milestones already completed. The NRC staff has requested that VY respond to the request for addition information (RAI) that was previously provided to the Arkansas Nuclear One station (Reference 2), which reads as follows:
The LAR provides details about the impact of the additional time requested on the effectiveness of the overall cyber security program in the context of milestones already completed. However, the information provided does not include information about Milestone 5; "Implement observation and identification of obvious cyber related tampering to existing insider mitigation rounds... " Milestone 5 was scheduled for completion no later than December 31, 2012. Please provide details about the impact of the additional time requested on the effectiveness of the overall cyber security program in the context of Milestone 5.
BVY 14- 050 / Page 2 of 2 The following is VY's response to this question:
At VY, Milestones 5, 6 and 7 were completed in December 2012; therefore, there was no impact on these milestones due to the extension request (Reference 1).
The additional information provided in this submittal is clarifying or administrative and does not impact the conclusions of the no significant hazards consideration determination previously provided in Reference 1.
This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, or require additional information, please contact Coley C. Chappell at (802) 451-3374.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
Executed on June 26, 2014.
Sincerely, CJW/JTM cc:
