Open Recommendations

We recommend that NRC management define and implement a risk-based process for regularly reviewing users who have badged access to the NRC general access group and restricting badged access to the Regions based on business needs.

We recommend that NRC management perform a risk-based analysis of the practice of allowing users to have general badge access to multiple NRC facilities. As a part of this risk-based analysis, NRC management should define, document, and implement mitigating controls that reduce the potential impact of having users with badged access to multiple facilities.
