SUBJECT: BEAVER VALLEY POWER STATION UNITS 1 AND 2 - INFORMATION REQUEST

FOR THE CYBER-SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION NOTIFICATION TO

PERFORM INSPECTION 05000334/2018403 AND 05000412/2018403

Dear Mr. Bologna:

On January 29, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a baseline

inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.10 Cyber-Security, issued

May 15, 2017 at the Beaver Valley Power Station, Units 1 and 2. The inspection will be

performed to evaluate and verify your ability to meet 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 January 29-February 2, 2018, and

February 12-16, 2018. Experience has shown that baseline inspections are extremely resource

intensive, both for the NRC inspectors and the 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. These documents have been

divided into four groups.

The first group specifies information necessary to assist the inspection team in choosing the

focus areas (i.e., sample set) to be inspected by the cyber-security Inspection Procedure. This

information should be made available via compact disc and delivered to the regional office no

later than October 31, 2017. The inspection team will review this information and, by

November 17, 2017, will request the specific items that should be provided for review.

The second group of additional requested documents will assist the inspection team in the

evaluation of the critical systems and critical digital assets (CSs/CDAs), defensive architecture,

and the areas of your stations Cyber-Security Program selected for the cyber-security

inspection. This information will be requested for review in the regional office prior to the

inspection by December 11, 2017.

The third group of requested documents consists of those items that the inspection team will

review, or need access to, during the inspection.

Please have this information available by the first day of the onsite inspection,

January 29, 2018.

R. Bologna 2

The fourth group of information is necessary to aid the inspection 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 Mr. David Werkheiser. We understand that our

regulatory contact for this inspection is Mr. David Wacker of your organization. If there are any

questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at

610-337-5316 or via e-mail at David.Werkheiser@nrc.gov.

This letter does not contain new or amended information collection requirements subject to the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing information collection

requirements were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, control number

3150-0011. The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a

request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document

displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget control number.

This letter and its enclosure will be available for public inspection and copying at

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html and at the NRCs Public Document Room in

accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding.

Sincerely,

/RA/

I. Information Requested for In-Office Preparation

The initial request for information (i.e., first RFI) concentrates on providing the inspection team

with the general information necessary to select appropriate components and Cyber-Security

Program (CSP) elements to develop a site-specific inspection plan.

The first RFI is used to identify the list of critical systems and critical digital assets (CSs/CDAs)

plus operational and management (O&M) security control portions of the CSP to be chosen as

the sample set required to be inspected by the cyber-security IP. The first RFIs requested

information is specified below in Table RFI #1.

The Table RFI #1 information is requested to be provided to the regional office by

October 31, 2017, or sooner, to facilitate the selection of the specific items that will be reviewed

during the onsite inspection weeks. The inspection team will examine the returned

documentation from the first RFI and identify/select specific systems and equipment

(e.g., CSs/CDAs) to provide a more focused follow-up request to develop the second RFI.

The inspection team will submit the specific systems and equipment list to your staff by

November 17, 2017, which will identify the specific systems and equipment that will be utilized

to evaluate the CSs/CDAs, defensive architecture, and the areas of the licensees CSP selected

for the cyber-security inspection. We request that the additional information provided from the

second RFI be made available to the regional office prior to the inspection by December 11,

2017. All requests for information shall follow the Table RFI #1 and the guidance document

referenced above. The required Table RFI #1 information shall be provided on compact disc

(CD) to the lead inspector by October 31, 2017. Please provide four copies of each CD

submitted (i.e., one for each inspector/contactor). The preferred file format for all lists is a

searchable Excel spreadsheet file on a CD. These CDs should be indexed and hyper-linked to

facilitate ease of use. If you have any questions regarding this information, please call the

inspection team leader as soon as possible.
