Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 Vogtle Electric Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 Southern Nuclear Cyber Security Plan Response to Requests for Additional Information Enclosure 1 SNC Partial Response to NRC Request for Additional Information Dated February 25, 2011
Enclosure 1 SNC Partial Response to NRC Request for Additional Information Dated February 25, 2011 RAI 1: Records Retention Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 73, Paragraph 73.54(c)(2) requires licensees to design a cyber security program (CSP) to ensure the capability to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber attacks.
Furthermore, 10 CFR 73.54(e)(2)(i) requires licensees to maintain a CSP that describes how the licensee will maintain the capability for timely detection and response to cyber attacks. The ability for a licensee to detect and respond to cyber attacks requires accurate and complete records and is further supported by 10 CFR 73.54(h), which states that the licensee shall retain all records and supporting technical documentation required to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 73.54 as a record until the Commission terminates the license for which the records were developed, and shall maintain superseded portions of these records for at least 3 years after the record is superseded, unless otherwise specified by the Commission.
The licensee's CSP in Section 4.13 states that critical digital asset (COA) audit records and audit data (e.g., operating system logs, network device logs) are retained for a period of time that is less than what is required by 10 CFR 73.54(h).
Explain the deviation from the 10 CFR 73.54(h) requirement to retain records and supporting technical documentation until the Commission terminates the license (or to maintain superseded portions of these records for at least 3 years) and how that meets the requirements of 10 CFR 73.54.
SNC Response The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) provided proposed language to modify Section 4.13 of NEI 08-09, Revision 6, to the NRC by letter dated February 28, 2011, to address NRC questions associated with record retention. As stated in its letter dated March 1, 2011, the NRC performed a technical review of the NEI proposed changes to Section 4.13 and identified no issues with the proposed language contained therein. Accordingly, SNC revised Section 4.13 of the proposed SNC CSP to reflect the language provided by NEI and found acceptable by the NRC as stated in its letter dated March 1, 2011. These changes are reflected in the proposed SNC CSP provided in Enclosure 9.

Enclosure 1 SNC Partial Response to NRC Request for Additional Information Dated February 25, 2011 RAI 3: Scope of Systems Paragraph 73.54(a) of 10 CFR requires licensees to provide high assurance that digital computer and communication systems and networks are adequately protected against cyber attacks, up to and including the design basis threat as described in 10 CFR 73.1. In addition, 10 CFR 73.54(a)(l) states that the licensee shall protect digital computer and communication systems and networks associated with:
(i) Safety-related and important-to-safety functions; (ii) Security functions; (iii) Emergency preparedness functions, including offsite communications; and (iv) Support systems and equipment which, if compromised, would adversely impact safety, security, or emergency preparedness functions.
Subsequent to the issuance of the cyber security rule, the NRC stated that 10 CFR 73.54 should be interpreted to include structures, systems, and components (SSCs) in the balance of plant (BOP) that have a nexus to radiological health and safety (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)
Accession No. ML103490344, dated November 19, 2010). The SSCs in the BOP are those that could directly or indirectly affect reactivity of a nuclear power plant and could result in an unplanned reactor shutdown or transient and are therefore within the scope of important-to-safety functions described in 10 CFR 73.54(a)(1). Furthermore, the NRC issued a letter to NEI dated January 5,2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML103550480), that provided licensees with additional guidance on one acceptable approach to comply with the Commission's policy determination.
Explain how the scoping of systems provided by the licensee's CSP meets the requirements of 10 CFR 73.54 and the additional guidance provided by the NRC.
SNC Response As stated in Section 2.1 of the proposed SNC CSP submitted by letter dated July 16, 2010, the following functions are protected against cyber attack up to and including the Design Basis Threat as described in 10 CFR 73.1 :
- 1. Safety-related and important-to safety functions;
- 2. Security functions;
- 3. Emergency preparedness functions including offsite communications; and
- 4. Support systems and equipment which if compromised, would adversely impact safety, security, or emergency preparedness functions. These systems include, in part, all non-safety related balance of plant equipment El-2
Enclosure 1 SNC Partial Response to NRC Request for Additional Information Dated February 25, 2011 which if compromised, could result in a reactor scram or actuation of a safety-related system and therefore, impact reactivity.
Accordingly, the scope of systems protected in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 73.54, as described in the SNC CSP submitted by letter dated July 16, 2010, includes BOP systems that could directly or indirectly affect reactivity and/or could result in an unplanned reactor shutdown or transient. Therefore, additional changes to the scope of systems previously identified in the SNC CSP are not required.

Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 Vogtle Electric Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 Southern Nuclear Cyber Security Plan Response to Requests for Additional Information Enclosure 2 SNC Response to NRC Request for Additional Information Dated March 3, 2011
Enclosure 2 SNC Response to NRC Request for Additional Information Dated March 3, 2011 RAil: Telecommunications Interfaces Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 73, Section 73.54(a) requires licensees to provide high assurance that digital computer and communication systems and networks are adequately protected against cyber attacks, up to and including the design basis threat as described in 10 CFR 73.1 (1). The licensee shall protect digital computer and communication systems and networks associated with:
(i) Safety-related and important-to-safety functions; (ii) Security functions; (iii) Emergency preparedness functions, including offsite communications; and (iv) Support systems and equipment which, if compromised, would adversely impact safety, security, or emergency preparedness functions.
Furthermore, 10 CFR 73.54(c}(2) requires the licensee to apply and maintain defense-in-depth protective strategies to ensure the capability to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber attacks.
In the SNC CSP, Section 4.3.2.2, Telecommunications Interfaces, there are several telecommunications interfaces listed.
Not only does the SNC CSP indicate that there are other telecommunications interfaces being used than just those listed, the CSP states: "These interfaces are not identified as threat vectors in industry standards and are acceptable cyber security domain boundary interfaces. No controls are identified in Appendices B and C for these interfaces. As a result, the CDA [critical digital asset] boundary for cyber security purposes ends at the CDA's telecommunications interface looking outward."
Explain how SNC plans to address the known and industry-documented threat vectors aSSOCiated with the telecommunications interfaces listed (and others that may be used) to provide high assurance against a cyber attack. Explain why the numerous controls listed in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 08-09, Appendices D and E, are not appropriate for use to ensure that the compromise or misuse of telecommunications interfaces does not adversely impact safety, security, or emergency preparedness functions. Furthermore, explain how these interfaces (and the others that are not listed) can perform the same function as boundary devices such as a data diode or appropriately configured firewall.

Enclosure 2 SNC Response to NRC Request for Additional Information Dated March 3, 2011 SNC Response SNC reviewed the defensive strategy described in Section 4.3 of the proposed SNC CSP submitted by letter dated July 16, 2010, and determined that it: (1) contained excessive detail beyond that necessary to assure protection of COAs; and, (2) that the additional detail was a source of potential confusion regarding the intent and application of the SNC CSP. Accordingly, SNC has revised the defensive strategy contained in Section 4.3 of the proposed CSP based on discussions with NRC staff to clarify that the controls of Appendices 0 and E of NEI 08-09, Revision 6, will be addressed for CDAs within the scope of 10 CFR 73.54. That is, the controls of Appendices 0 and E of NEI 08-09, Revision 6, will be addressed for telecommunication interfaces associated with digital devices identified as COAs in accordance with the SNC CSP. This change is reflected in Section 4.3 of the SNC CSP provided in Enclosure 9.
RAI 2: Interfaces to Field Sensors. Actuators. and other Field Devices Section 73.54(a) requires licensees to provide high assurance that digital computer and communication systems and networks are adequately protected against cyber attacks, up to and including the design basis threat as described in 10 CFR 73.1 (1). The licensee shall protect digital computer and communication systems and networks associated with:
(i) Safety-related and important-to-safety functions; (ii) Security functions; (iii) Emergency preparedness functions, including offsite communications; and (iv) Support systems and equipment which, if compromised, would adversely impact safety, security, or emergency preparedness functions.
Furthermore, 10 CFR 73.54(c)(2) requires the licensee to apply and maintain defense-in-depth protective strategies to ensure the capability to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber attacks.
In the SNC CSP, Section 4.3.2.3, Interfaces to Field Sensors, Actuators, and other Field Devices, there are several telecommunications interfaces listed. The SNC CSP states "Interfaces to field devices provide the primary means by which scoped systems receive and transmit information." The CSP also states: "These interfaces enter through the input/output (I/O) subsystem of the CDA. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP800-53, Draft NIST SP 800-82 and International Society of Automation 99.02.2009 standards do not identify sensors/actuators interfaced via the I/O sub-system as a threat vector or candidate for security controls. There are no cyber security controls for this category of interfaces, and as a result, the COA boundary for cyber security purposes ends at the CDA field side of the I/O interface. The following interfaces E2-2
Enclosure 2 SNC Response to NRC Request for Additional Information Dated March 3, 2011 are considered acceptable field 110 interfaces. The interfaces described below
[already listed above] and the connected field devices require no cyber security controls."
Explain how SNC plans to address the known and industry-documented threat vectors associated with Interfaces to Field Sensors, Actuators, and other Field Devices listed (and others that may be used) to provide high assurance against a cyber attack. Explain why the numerous controls listed in NEI 08-09, Appendices D and E, are not appropriate for use to ensure that the compromise or misuse of Interfaces to Field Sensors, Actuators, and other Field Devices interfaces do not adversely impact safety, security, or emergency preparedness functions.
SNC Response As stated in response to RAI 1 above, SNC reviewed the defensive strategy described in Section 4.3 of the proposed SNC CSP submitted by letter dated July 16, 2010, and determined that it: (1) contained excessive detail beyond that necessary to assure protection of CDAs; and, (2) that the additional detail was a source of potential confusion regarding the intent and application of the SNC CSP. Accordingly, SNC has revised the defensive strategy described in Section 4.3 of the proposed SNC CSP based on discussions with NRC staff to clarify that the controls of Appendices D and E of NEI 08-09, Revision 6, will be addressed for CDAs within the scope of 10 CFR 73.54. That is, the controls of Appendices D and E of NEI 08-09, Revision 6, will be addressed for interfaces with field sensors, actuators, and other field devices identified as CDAs in accordance with the SNC CSP. This change is reflected in Section 4.3 of the SNC CSP provided in Enclosure 9.
