THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION - UNIT 1 -

SECURITY BASELINE INSPECTION REPORT 05000289/2020401

Dear Mr. Hanson:

On August 13, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at the permanently shut down Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station. An on-site inspection was performed August 10 - 13, 2020. The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to security and compliance with the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license. The inspectors reviewed select procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed site personnel. The NRC inspectors discussed the results of this inspection with Mr. Trevor Orth, Site Decommissioning Director, and other members of your staff.

Based on the results of the inspection, no violations were identified.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390, Public Inspections, Exemptions, Requests for Withholding, of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and 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 Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Exelon Generation Company, LLC

Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station - Unit 1 NRC Inspection Report No. 05000289/2020401 This report covers an announced decommissioning program core inspection of the physical protection program at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station - Unit 1 performed August 10 - August 13, 2020. The objective of the inspection was to determine if activities involving the physical protection program, associated with the samples inspected, provide assurance that the licensees program is designed and implemented in a manner that protects against the design basis threat (DBT) of radiological sabotage. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRCs) program for overseeing the security of a shut-down nuclear power reactor is described in Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 81200, Security. Additionally, for reactors that have permanently shut down and entered into decommissioning, violations of regulatory requirements are evaluated using the traditional enforcement process described in the NRCs Enforcement Policy. Under traditional enforcement, violations of more than minor significance are assigned a severity level (SL) ranging from I (most significant) to IV (least significant).

Based on the results of the inspection, no violations of safety significance were identified.

REPORT DETAILS

Inspection Scope 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. Publicly available IPs are located at: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with IMC 2202 Appendix A, Security Core Inspection Program. 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. Starting on March 20, 2020, in response to the National Emergency declared by the President of the United States on the public health risks of the coronavirus (COVID-19), regional inspectors were directed to begin telework. The inspection documented below was completed through a combination of remote and on-site inspection.
