SUBJECT:
PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION REPORT 05000440/2025420
Dear Terry Brown:
On August 28, 2025, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at Perry Nuclear Power Plant. On August 29, 2025, the NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Darin Benyak, Plant General Manager, and other members of your staff.
The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
Due to the temporary cessation of government operations, which commenced on October 01, 2025, the NRC began operating under its Office of Management and Budget-approved plan for operations during a lapse in appropriations. Consistent with that plan, the NRC operated at reduced staffing levels throughout the duration of the shutdown. However, the NRC continued to perform critical health and safety functions and make progress on other high-priority activities associated with the ADVANCE Act and Executive Order 14300. On November 13, 2025, following the passage of a continuing resolution, the NRC resumed normal operations.
However, due to the 43-day lapse in normal operations, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation granted the Regional Offices an extension on the issuance of the calendar year 2025 inspection reports that should have been issued by November 07, 2025, to December 23, 2025. The NRC resumed the routine cycle of issuing inspection reports on November 13, 2025.
No findings or violations of more than minor significance were identified during this inspection.
This letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) 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 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.
Sincerely, Jefferson K. Clark, Chief Security Performance Evaluation Branch Division of Security Operations December 15, 2025 Signed by Clark, Jefferson on 12/15/25
