February 03, 2004 SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION Mr. Lawrence F. Womack Vice President, Nuclear Services Diablo Canyon Power Plant P.O. Box 56 Avila Beach, CA 93424

SUBJECT:

DIABLO CANYON INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION APPLICATION - PHYSICAL SECURITY PROGRAM CHANGES (TAC NO. L23399)

Dear Mr. Womack:

By letter dated December 21, 2001, the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) submitted an application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for a 10 CFR Part 72 license to build and operate an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) within the owner controlled area at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) site. On April 18, 2002, PG&E submitted proposed changes to the DCPP Physical Security Program in order to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR Part 73 for the proposed ISFSI. On December 6, 2002, the NRC staff sent a request for additional information (RAI) regarding your proposed changes. You responded to the RAI by letter dated January 31, 2003.

The NRC staff has completed its review of your proposed changes to the DCPP Physical Security Plan, the Safeguards Contingency Plan, and the Guard Training and Qualification Plan, and has determined that your revisions to those plans to address the interim storage of spent fuel in the proposed ISFSI comply with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 73 and are acceptable. The staff has further concluded that, with respect to the proposed revisions, that:

(1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner; (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commissions regulations; and (3) the issuance of these physical security plan changes will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public. In addition, the staff has determined that the proposed changes do not decrease the safeguards effectiveness of the plans with respect to the operating reactor units.

Safeguards Information must be protected from unauthorized disclosure in accordance with Section When separated from the Enclosure, 147 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, this document is DECONTROLLED and with 10 CFR 73.21. Violations are subject to Civil or Criminal penalties.
