SUBJECT:

DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - NOTIFICATION

OF CYBER SECURITY INSPECTION (NRC INSPECTION

REPORT 05000275/2020401 AND 05000323/2020401) AND

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Dear Mr. Welsch:

On April 27, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin an inspection in

accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.10P, Cyber Security, Revision 0, at Diablo

Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. 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 April 27 and May 11, 2020.

Experience has shown that these inspections are extremely resource intensive, both for the

NRC inspectors and 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

March 9, 2020. The inspection team will review this information and by the end of the planned

information gathering visit on April 10, 2020, 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 April 20, 2020.

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, April 27, 2020.

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 Sam Graves. We understand that our regulatory

contact for this inspection is Amanda Sorensen and our technical contact is Chance Siri. If

there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead

inspector at 817-200-1102 or by e-mail at Samuel.Graves@nrc.gov.

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 lead in the regional office, by March 9, 2020, or sooner, to

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

inspection weeks.

The requested information shall be provided on either a secure document management

service or passive media (i.e. CD or DVD) to the lead inspector. If passive media is

chosen, 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 lead as soon as possible.
