INSPECTION PROCEDURE 71130

# SECURITY

Effective Date: January 1, 2024

PROGRAM APPLICABILITY: IMC 2201 A

# 71130-01	INSPECTION OBJECTIVE

The objective of this inspection procedure (IP) is to gather information to determine whether a licensee is meeting the objective of the Security cornerstone, which is to provide assurance that a power reactor licensee’s security system and material control and accounting program use a defense-in-depth approach and can protect against the design basis threat of radiological sabotage consistent with Title 10 of the *Code of Federal Regulations*(10 CFR) Part 73, “Physical Protection of Plants and Materials,” and the theft or loss of special nuclear material consistent with 10 CFR Part 74, “Material Control and Accounting of Special Nuclear Material."

In meeting this objective, this procedure has provisions for verification and assessment of licensee action with respect to Commission initiatives deemed necessary to address adequacy in the protection of public health and safety and maintaining common defense and security at operating power reactor facilities. Commission initiatives include orders, rulemaking, or other action.

# 71130-02	INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS

## 02.01	Baseline inspection requirements are identified in and satisfied by the following inspectable area attachments to this IP:

a. Access Authorization (IP 71130.01)

b. Access Control (IP 71130.02)

c. Contingency Response - Force-on-Force Testing (IP 71130.03)

d. Equipment Performance, Testing, and Maintenance (IP 71130.04)

e. Protective Strategy Evaluation and Performance Evaluation Program (IP 71130.05)

f. Protection of Safeguards Information (IP 71130.06)

g. Security Training (IP 71130.07)

h. Security Training (IP 71130.07EW)

i. Fitness-for-Duty Program (IP 71130.08)

j. Security Plan Changes (IP 71130.09)

k. Cybersecurity (IP 71130.10)

l. Material Control and Accounting (IP 71130.11)

m. Review of Power Reactor Target Sets (IP 71130.14)

## 02.02	These requirements represent the minimum inspection activity to be conducted at each reactor site at the frequencies shown in each inspectable area attachment.

a. The inspection requirements in the listed attachments describe the necessary actions to be completed in order to achieve the inspection objective(s) stated in the listed attachments. Inspection requirements may include, but are not limited to, inspecting systems, components, records, procedures, programs, and operations.

b. The sample size identified within each inspectable area has been determined to meet the inspection objective(s) and the general performance objective of the Security cornerstone. Inspection of the minimum number of inspection requirements within each inspectable area attachment at the periodicity specified within the attachment demonstrates the completion of the respective inspection procedure.

c. The inspectable area attachments within the Security Baseline Inspection Program include a risk-informed structure which is depicted within each attachment through the application of a “tier level” format to indicate the risk significance of the inspection requirements within the specified sample. The inspection requirements are separated into three tier level sections (Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III) with the most risk significant being assigned to the Tier I section of the attachment. This tier level concept ensures that the licensee’s physical protection program and protective strategy receive inspection oversight relative to the risk significance of the specific elements that comprise the licensee’s security programs.

## 02.03	Problem Identification and Resolution

The primary means by which licensees maintain an appropriate level of safety and security is through an effective problem identification and resolution program to correct deficiencies involving human performance, equipment, programs, and procedures. The baseline inspection program includes periodic inspections of the licensees’ corrective action programs to gauge their effectiveness for identifying and correcting problems.

# 71130-03	INSPECTION GUIDANCE

Applicable Performance Indicator: The Security cornerstone includes one performance indicator, “The Protected Area Security Equipment Performance Index,” which monitors the effectiveness of the maintenance process and equipment degradation of components of protected area perimeter detection and assessment.

# 71130-04	INSPECTION RESOURCES

Estimates of inspection resources are identified within each inspectable area attachment.
