SUBJECT:
WOLF CREEK GENERATING STATION - NOTIFICATION OF
CYBER SECURITY INSPECTION (NRC INSPECTION
REPORT 05000482/2019410) AND REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Heflin:
On July 15, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin an inspection in
accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.10P, Cyber Security, Revision 0, at the
Wolf Creek Generating Station (WC). This inspection evaluates and verifies your ability to
meet the 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 July 15 and July 29, 2019.
Experience has shown that these 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. The document request has been divided into
four groups.
The first group specifies information necessary to assist the team in choosing the focus areas
(i.e., sample set) to be inspected in accordance with the cyber security inspection procedure.
This information should be made available using either a secure document management
service or passive media (i.e. CD, DVD) and delivered to the regional office no later than
April 15, 2019. The inspection team will review this information and by the end of the planned
information gathering visit on May 23, 2019, will request the specific items that should be
provided for review. The second group of requested documents will assist the team in their
evaluation of the critical systems and critical digital assets, defensive architecture, and the
areas of the cyber security plan selected for inspection. This information will be requested for
our review in the regional office prior to the inspection by June 17, 2019.
The third group of requested documents consists of those items that the team will review or
need access to, during the inspection. Please have this information available by the first day
of the onsite inspection, July 15, 2019.

The fourth group of information is necessary to aid the 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 Greg Pick. We understand that our regulatory contact
for this inspection is Jason Knust. If there are any questions about the inspection or the
material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 817-200-1270 or by e-mail
at greg.pick@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 under 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,

I. Information Requested for In-Office Preparation
The initial request for information (i.e., first RFI) provides the team with the general
information necessary to select appropriate components and cyber security plan
elements to develop a site-specific inspection plan. The team will use the first set of
information requested to identify the list of critical systems and critical digital assets
plus operational and management security control portions of the cyber security plan
to be chosen as the sample set required to be inspected during this inspection. The
first information request is specified in Table RFI #1. Provide the first set of
information to the team leader in the regional office by April 15, 2019, or sooner, to
facilitate the selection of the specific items that will be reviewed during the onsite
inspection weeks.
The required Table RFI #1 information shall be provided on a secure document
management service or passive media (i.e. CD or DVD) to the lead inspector
by April 15, 2019. Please provide four copies of each media submitted (i.e., one for
each inspector/contractor). The preferred file format for all lists is a searchable Excel
spreadsheet file on a CD or DVD. These files should be indexed and hyperlinked to
facilitate efficient review. If you have any questions regarding this information, please
contact the inspection team leader as soon as possible.
