SUMMARY
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a security baseline inspection at Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Unit 3, 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.
3 INSPECTION SCOPES Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 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.
SAFEGUARDS 71130.02 - Access Control The inspectors evaluated the access control program through completion of the following inspection elements:
Access Control (1 Sample)
(1)
Tier I: All Requirements
Tier II: 8 Requirements: 02.06 a - d, 02.07 a, 02.08 a, b, e
Tier III: 1 Requirement: 02.09 71130.09 - Security Plan Changes The inspectors evaluated the security plan changes through completion of the following procedure elements:
Security Plan Changes (1 Sample)
(1)
Since the last NRC inspection of this program area, Vogtle Physical Security Plan, Version 18-VEGP-2, dated August 3, 2022, was implemented based on your determination, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(p)(2), that the changes resulted in no decrease in safeguards effectiveness of the security plan, and that the revised security plan continues to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(b). The inspectors conducted a review of the security plan changes to evaluate for potential decrease in safeguards effectiveness of the security plan. However, this review does not constitute formal NRC approval of the changes. Therefore, these changes remain subject to future NRC inspection in their entirety.
OTHER ACTIVITIES - BASELINE 71151 - Performance Indicator Verification The inspectors verified licensee performance indicators submittals listed below:
4 PP01: Protected Area Security Equipment Performance Index Sample [AP1000] (IP Section 02.17) (1 Sample)

October 2022 through June 2023 INSPECTION RESULTS No findings were identified.
EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.
On July 14, 2023, the inspectors presented the security baseline inspection results to Glen Chick and other members of the licensee staff.
