SUMMARY
The NRC continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a security inspection at South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2, in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.
LIST OF FINDINGS AND VIOLATIONS No findings or violations of more than minor significance were identified.
ADDITIONAL TRACKING ITEMS None.
INSPECTION SCOPES Unless otherwise noted, security inspections were conducted in accordance with the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter 2201, Security Inspection Program for Commercial Nuclear Power Reactors. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards. Publicly available IPs are located at:
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html.
Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the coronavirus (COVID-19), inspectors were directed to begin teleworking. In addition, regional baseline inspections were evaluated to determine if all or a portion of the objectives and requirements stated in the IP could be performed remotely. If the inspections could be performed remotely, they were conducted per the applicable IP. In some cases, portions of an IP were completed remotely and on site. The inspections documented below met the objectives and requirements for completion of the IP.
OTHER ACTIVITIES - TEMPORARY INSTRUCTIONS, INFREQUENT AND ABNORMAL 92707 - Security Inspection of Facilities Impacted by a Local, State, or Federal Emergency Where the NRCs Ability to Conduct Triennial Force-On-Force Exercises is Limited (1 Sample)
NRC inspectors completed this inspection by gathering sufficient information to develop a scenario that can be segmented into limited scope tactical response drills that allows for a limited assessment of the ability of licensees physical security systems and security organization to meet the general performance objective of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 73.55(b) and to ensure changes made to the physical protection program in response to a local, State, or Federal emergency (e.g., state of emergency, disaster, or public health emergency) have not adversely impacted the licensees implementation of their protective strategy.
