The inspection was conducted in accordance with NRC Temporary Instruction (TI) 2201/004, Inspection of Implementation of Interim Cyber Security Milestones 1-7, Rev. 1, issued December 22, 2014.
Three findings of very low safety significance (Green) which were determined to involve violations of NRC requirements were identified during this inspection. Further, three licensee identified violations, of very low safety significance (Green) are also listed in this report. These issues were discussed at the Security Issues Forum panel on August 19, 2015. Based upon the meeting, the NRC is not pursuing enforcement action, consistent with the SIF Charter, due to your good-faith attempt to interpret and implement Interim Cyber Security Milestones 1 - 7 commitments. This discretion applies to licensees who have tried to implement the new requirements, but failed to be in full compliance. Before discretion is considered or granted for any issue, licensees must accept the finding, place the finding into their Corrective Actions Program (CAP), and take appropriate corrective action to restore compliance in a timely manner. Upon completion of all corrective actions, you are requested to provide written notification to the NRCs regional office as to the method and date of closure for the identified issue(s).
