ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE - CYBER SECURITY INSPECTION REPORT 05000313/2023401 AND 05000368/2023401
ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE INFORMATION REQUEST FOR THE CYBERSECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION, NOTIFICATION TO PERFORM INSPECTION 05000313/2023401 AND 05000368/2023401


==Dear Joseph Sullivan:==
==Dear Mr. Sullivan:==
On May 11, 2023, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at Arkansas Nuclear One and discussed the results of this inspection with Doug Pehrson, General Manager (Acting Vice President), and other members of your staff. The results of this inspection are documented in the enclosed report.
On February 6, 2023, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a baseline inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.10 Cybersecurity, at your Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2. The inspection objectives are to provide assurance that the digital computer and communication systems and networks associated with safety, security, and emergency preparedness (SSEP) functions are adequately protected against cyberattacks in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 73.54 and your approved cybersecurity plan (CSP), and to verify that any CSP changes and reports have been made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(p).


Three findings of very low security significance (Green) are documented in this report. The three findings involved violations of NRC requirements. We are treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
Experience has shown that baseline inspections are extremely resource intensive, both for the NRC inspectors and licensee staff. In an effort 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.


Three licensee-identified violations which were determined to be of very low security significance are documented in this report. We are treating these violations as non-cited violations (NCVs) consistent with Section 2.3.2 of the Enforcement Policy.
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 IP. This information should be made available via digital media (CD/DVD) or an online document repository and delivered/available to the regional office no later than December 9, 2022. The inspection team will review this information and, by January 6, 2023, will request the specific items that should be provided for review.


If you contest the violations or the significance or severity of the violations documented in this inspection report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
The second group of 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 cyber security program selected for review. This information will be requested for review in the regional office prior to the inspection by January 23, 2023, as identified above.
Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; the Director, Office of Enforcement; the Director, Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Arkansas Nuclear One.


The following cross cutting aspects were assigned to findings using Inspection Manual Chapter 0310 Aspects Within Cross Cutting Areas: one [H.14] - Conservative Bias, one [H.1] -
The third group of requested documents consists of additional 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, February 6, 2023.
Resources, and one [H.12] - Avoid Complacency.


If you disagree with a cross-cutting aspect assignment in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your disagreement, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV; the Director, Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response; and the NRC Resident Inspector at Arkansas Nuclear One.
The fourth group of information aids the inspection team in tracking issues identified during 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 requested documents are up to date and complete to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the preparation and/or the onsite portions of the inspection.


This letter 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.

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE INFORMATION REQUEST FOR THE CYBERSECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION, NOTIFICATION TO PERFORM INSPECTION 05000313/2023401 AND 05000368/2023401

Dear Mr. Sullivan:

On February 6, 2023, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a baseline inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.10 Cybersecurity, at your Arkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2. The inspection objectives are to provide assurance that the digital computer and communication systems and networks associated with safety, security, and emergency preparedness (SSEP) functions are adequately protected against cyberattacks in accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 73.54 and your approved cybersecurity plan (CSP), and to verify that any CSP changes and reports have been made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(p).

Experience has shown that baseline inspections are extremely resource intensive, both for the NRC inspectors and licensee staff. In an effort 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 IP. This information should be made available via digital media (CD/DVD) or an online document repository and delivered/available to the regional office no later than December 9, 2022. The inspection team will review this information and, by January 6, 2023, will request the specific items that should be provided for review.

The second group of 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 cyber security program selected for review. This information will be requested for review in the regional office prior to the inspection by January 23, 2023, as identified above.

The third group of requested documents consists of additional 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, February 6, 2023.

The fourth group of information aids the inspection team in tracking issues identified during 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 requested documents are up to date and complete 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 Sam Graves. We understand that our regulatory contact for this inspection is Donna Boyd of your organization. If there are any questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at 817-200-1102 or via e-mail at samuel.graves@nrc.gov.
