SUBJECT: CLINTON POWER STATIONINFORMATION REQUEST FOR THE

CYBER-SECURITY FULL IMPLEMENTATION INSPECTION, NOTIFICATION

TO PERFORM INSPECTION 05000461/2019412

Dear Mr. Hanson:

On August 5, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin an inspection in

accordance with Inspection Procedure 71130.10P, Cyber-Security, issued May 15, 2017, at

your Clinton Power Station. The inspection will be performed to evaluate and verify your ability

to meet full implementation requirements of the NRCs Cyber-Security Rule, Title 10 of the 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

August 5, 2019, and August 19, 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. 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 May 13, 2019. The inspection team will review this

information and, by June 10, 2019, 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 July 8, 2019.

  • 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, August 5, 2019.

  • 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. Dariusz Szwarc. We understand that our regulatory

contact for this inspection is Mr. Nicholas Santos of your organization. If there are any

questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector

at 630-829-9803 or via e-mail at Dariusz.Szwarc@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 Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 2.390, Public Inspections,

Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Sincerely,

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

(CSs) and critical digital assets (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 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 May 13, 2018, or sooner, to facilitate

the selection of the specific items that will be reviewed during the onsite inspection

weeks.
