SUBJECT: MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNIT 1 - INFORMATION
REQUEST FOR THE CYBER-SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION,
NOTIFICATION TO PERFORM INSPECTION 05000263/2017409
Dear Mr. Gardner:
On September 11, 2017, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a baseline
inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71130.10P Cyber-Security, issued
May 15, 2017, at your Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, Unit 1. The inspection will be
performed to evaluate and verify your ability to meet full implementation requirements of the
NRCs Cyber-Security Rule, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 73, Section 54,
Protection of Digital Computer and Communication Systems and Networks. The onsite
portion of the inspection will take place during the weeks of September 11-15, 2017, and
September 25-29, 2017.
Experience has shown that baseline inspections are extremely resource intensive, both for the
NRC inspectors and the 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 Inspection Procedure. This
information should be made available via compact disc and delivered to the regional office no
later than July 7, 2017. The inspection team will review this information and, by July 24, 2017,
will request the specific items that should be provided for review.
The second group of additional requested documents will assist the inspection team in the
evaluation of the critical systems and critical digital assets, defensive architecture, and the
areas of your plants Cyber-Security Program selected for the cyber-security inspection.
This information will be requested for review in the regional office prior to the inspection by
August 11, 2017.
The third group of requested documents consists of those 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, September 11, 2017.
P. Gardner -2-
The fourth group of information is necessary to aid the inspection team in tracking issues
identified as a result of 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 of
these 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 Mr. George M. Hausman. We understand that our
regulatory contact for this inspection is Mr. Steven Sollom of your organization. If there are any
questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at
630-829-9743 or via e-mail at George.Hausman@nrc.gov.
This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information
collection requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, Control
Number 3150-0011. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the
requesting document displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget Control
Number.
This letter and its enclosure will be made available for public inspection and copying at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRC Public Document Room in
accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.
Sincerely,
/RA/

I. Information Requested for In-Office Preparation
The initial request for information (i.e., first Request for Information (RFI)) concentrates
on providing the inspection team with the general information necessary to select
appropriate components and Cyber-Security Program (CSP) elements to develop a
site-specific inspection plan. The first RFI is used to identify the list of critical systems
and critical digital assets (CSs/CDAs) plus operational and management security control
portions of the CSP to be chosen as the sample set required to be inspected by the
cyber-security inspection procedure. The first RFIs requested information is specified
below in Table RFI #1. The Table RFI #1 information is requested to be provided to the
regional office by July 7, 2017, or sooner, to facilitate the selection of the specific items
that will be reviewed during the onsite inspection weeks.
Enclosure
CYBER-SECURITY INSPECTION DOCUMENT REQUEST
The inspection team will examine the returned documentation from the first RFI and
identify/select specific systems and equipment (e.g., CSs/CDAs) 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 July 24, 2017, which will identify
the specific systems and equipment that will be utilized to evaluate the CSs/CDAs,
defensive architecture, and the areas of the licensees CSP selected for the
cyber-security inspection. All requests for this information shall follow the Table RFI #1
and the guidance document referenced above.
The required Table RFI #1 information shall be provided on compact disc (CD) to the
lead inspector by July 7, 2017. Please provide five copies of each CD submitted
(i.e., one for each inspector/contractor and one for the observers). The preferred file
format for all lists is a searchable Excel spreadsheet file. These CDs should be indexed
and hyper-linked to facilitate ease of use. If you have any questions regarding this
information, please call the inspection team leader as soon as possible.
