INSPECTION SCOPES

Unless otherwise noted, baseline security inspections were conducted in accordance with the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter 2201, Security Inspection Program for Commercial Nuclear Power Reactors. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards. Publicly available IPs are located at:

(1) Power Reactor Target Sets===

Section 02.01 Review of Events and Logs The inspector reviewed any licensee event reports, safeguards log entries, and corrective action program entries since the last Target Set inspection that concern the target set identification, development, and maintenance program.

Section 02.02 Target Set Identification and Development Process Review The inspector assessed the licensee's documentation and maintenance of the process used to develop and identify complete and accurate target sets as required by 10 CFR Part 73 by reviewing applicable portions of procedures and samples of records and conducting interviews with responsible personnel and plant employees.

Section 02.03 Verification of Target Sets Changes The inspector reviewed changes to the licensees documented target sets since the last Target Set inspection. The inspector verified that any design modifications and procedure or configuration changes that have occurred were appropriately documented in the site's target sets.

Section 02.04 Verification of Complete and Accurate Target Sets The inspector interviewed licensee personnel and reviewed a sample of target sets for reactor operation and for all modes of operation. The inspector reviewed assumptions used in the licensees development of its target sets.

Section 02.05 Physical Protection Program Review The inspector verified that the licensee performed a review of target sets for accuracy, completeness, and applicability at least every 24 months and as otherwise required, documented the results and recommendations, and entered findings in the sites corrective action program (CAP).
