L23399)

Dear Commissioners and Staff:

On April 18, 2002, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposed changes to the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) Physical Security Program to incorporate the Diablo Canyon ISFSI. The submittal included an associated request for exemptions to four 10 CFR 73.55 requirements.

By letter dated December 6, 2002, the NRC staff requested additional information needed to continue their review of the proposed changes to the DCPP Physical Security Program.

Enclosure I contains PG&E's response to the request for additional information.

Enclosure 2 contains proposed changes to the DCPP Physical Security Plan, as amended by PG&E's response to the request for additional information.

Enclosure 2 also contains proposed changes to the Safeguards Contingency Plan, as amended by PG&E response to the request for additional information. These changes do not change any of the plant security requirements, and do not decrease the effectiveness of plant security.

Enclosures 1 and 2 contain Security Safeguards Information and must be handled accordingly.

Document Control Desk PG&E Letter DCL-03-007 January 31, 2003 Page 2 contains the revised exemption request from 10 CFR 73.55 requirements. As a result of PG&E's response to the request for additional information, PG&E withdrew two of the four exemption requests submitted in PG&E Letter DCL-02-042, dated April 18, 2002. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(d),

PG&E requests that Enclosure 3 be withheld from public disclosure since it contains information related to DCPP security.

As noted in PG&E's response to the request for additional information, Enclosure 4 contains a table that summarizes the Diablo Canyon compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(a) - (h).

All changes will be incorporated into the physical security, safeguards contingency, and security training and qualification plans following NRC approval of the Physical Security Plan changes. These changes will go into effect before movement of spent fuel out of the main DCPP Protected Area.

These proposed changes are submitted to the Document Control Desk, and a copy to the Region IVOffice.

The DCPP Physical Security Program with approved exemptions will meet all existing security requirements for the Diablo Canyon ISFSI and will be revised as required to meet future security requirements imposed by the NRC as part of the license.

Should you require further information or clarification, please contact Ron Todaro, Manager, Security Services, at (805) 545-4309.
