SUBJECT: SEABROOK STATION - INFORMATION REQUEST FOR THE CYBER
SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION, NOTIFICATION TO PERFORM
INSPECTION 05000443/2023401
Dear Bob Coffey:
On July 24, 2023, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will begin a baseline
inspection in accordance with Inspection Procedure (IP) 71130.10, Cyber Security, dated
December 14, 2021, at your Seabrook Station. The inspection will be performed to evaluate and
verify your ability to meet the requirements of the NRCs Cyber Security Rule, Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 73, Section 54, Protection of Digital Computer and
Communication Systems and Networks. The onsite portion of the inspection will take place
July 24-28, 2023.
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 IP 71130.10. This information should be
made available either on an online repository (preferred) or digital media (CD/DVD) no later
than April 14, 2023. The inspection team will review this information and, by May 19, 2023, 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 the licensees 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 June 23, 2023, as identified above.
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, July 24, 2023.

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 Jeff Rady. We understand that our regulatory contact for
this inspection is Joshua Greene of your organization. If there are any questions about the
inspection or the material requested, please contact the lead inspector at (610) 337-5380 or via
email at Jeff.Rady@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.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding,
of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available
electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly
Available Records (PARS) component of the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC website at
http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

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 security control portions of the CSP to
be chosen as the sample set required to be inspected by the cyber security inspection
procedure. 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 April 14,
2023, 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 May 19, 2023, 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 June 23, 2023.
