SUBJECT: BRAIDWOOD STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2INFORMATION REQUEST FOR THE
CYBER-SECURITY FULL IMPLEMENTATION INSPECTION, NOTIFICATION
TO PERFORM INSPECTION 05000456/2019410; 05000457/2019410
Dear Hanson:
On February 11, 2019, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin an inspection
in accordance with Inspection Procedure 71130.10P Cyber-Security, issued May 15, 2017, at
your Braidwood 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 of the Code of Federal Regulations, 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 February 11, 2019, and February 25, 2019.
Experience has shown that these 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 November 19, 2018. The inspection team will review
this information and, by December 17, 2018, 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, defensive architecture,
and the areas of your plants 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 January 14, 2019.
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, February 11, 2019.

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. Dariusz Szwarc. We understand that our regulatory
contact for this inspection is Mr. Richard Schliessmann of your organization. If there are any
questions about the inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at
630-829-9803 or via e-mail at Dariusz.Szwarc@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 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, Part 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 Request for Information (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 Inspection Procedure (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 November 19, 2018, 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 December 17, 2018, 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. All requests for this information shall follow the Table RFI #1
and the guidance document referenced above.
