SUBJECT: BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION UNITS 1 AND 2 - INFORMATION REQUEST
FOR THE CYBER-SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION NOTIFICATION TO
PERFORM INSPECTION 05000334/2018403 AND 05000412/2018403
Dear Mr. Bologna:
On January 29, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a baseline
inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.10 Cyber-Security, issued
May 15, 2017 at the Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2. 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 (CFR), 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 January 29-February 2, 2018, and
February 12-16, 2018. 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 October 31, 2017. The inspection team will review this information and, by
November 17, 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 (CSs/CDAs), defensive architecture,
and the areas of your stations 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 December 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,
January 29, 2018.
R. Bologna 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. David Werkheiser. We understand that our
regulatory contact for this inspection is Mr. David Wacker of your organization. If there are any
questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at
610-337-5316 or via e-mail at David.Werkheiser@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 available for public inspection and copying at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRCs 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 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 (O&M) security control portions of the CSP to be chosen as
the sample set required to be inspected by the cyber-security IP. 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
October 31, 2017, or sooner, to facilitate the selection of the specific items that will be reviewed
during the onsite inspection weeks. 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
November 17, 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. We request that the additional information provided from the
second RFI be made available to the regional office prior to the inspection by December 11,
2017. All requests for 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 October 31, 2017. Please provide four copies of each CD
submitted (i.e., one for each inspector/contactor). The preferred file format for all lists is a
searchable Excel spreadsheet file on a CD. 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.
