SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION October 28, 2004 Mr. Dale E. Young Vice President c/o Scott Young Progress Energy Crystal River Nuclear Generating Plant, Unit 3 Crystal River Energy Complex 15760 West Power Line Street Crystal River, FL 34428
SUBJECT:
CRYSTAL RIVER NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNIT 3 -
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COMMISSION ORDER EA-03-086 REGARDING REVISED DESIGN BASIS THREAT; AND REVISIONS TO PHYSICAL SECURITY PLAN, TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION PLAN, AND SAFEGUARDS CONTINGENCY PLAN (TAC NO. MC2909)
Dear Mr. Young:
By letter dated April 29, 2004, Progress Energy submitted a supplemental response in accordance with Order EA-03-086, the Order requiring compliance with the revised design basis threat, dated April 29, 2003, (DBT Order) for the Crystal River Nuclear Generating Plant, Unit 3.Section III.A of the DBT Order required licensees to revise physical security plans (PSPs), training and qualification plans (T&Q Plans), and safeguards contingency plans (SCPs) in order to provide protection against the revised DBT set forth in Attachment 2 to the DBT Order. These revised plans, along with an implementation schedule, were required to be submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) for review and approval no later than April 29, 2004.
The NRC staffs review of the Crystal River Nuclear Generating Plant, Unit 3 PSP, SCP, T&Q Plan submitted in your letter dated April 29, 2004, as supplemented on May 19, July 8, July 23, August 16, September 9, September 30, and October 20, 2004, has focused on ensuring the necessary programmatic elements are contained in these plans in order to provide the high assurance that activities involving special nuclear material are not inimical to the common defense and security and do not constitute an unreasonable risk to the public health and safety.
SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION NOTICE: Enclosure 2 contains Safeguards Information. Upon separation from Enclosure 2, this letter and Enclosure 1 are DECONTROLLED.
In addition, the NRC staff noted that your PSP included alternatives to certain requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 73.55. In each case, the NRC staff found that the alternative measures provide an equivalent level of protection to that of the associated requirement and meet the high assurance objective of 10 CFR 73.55(a). The NRC staff, therefore, approves the alternatives shown in the table below. The NRC staffs evaluation is discussed further in the enclosed Safety Evaluation (SE).
Approved Alternatives to the Requirements of 10 CFR Part 73 SE Section PSP Section Alternative to 10 CFR Description 3.6.2 6.2 73.55(c)(3)
Isolation Zones 3.9.4.3 9.4.3 73.55(d)(4)
Protected Area (PA) vehicle search requirements 3.9.4.4 9.4.4 73.55(d)(1)
PA personnel search requirements 3.9.5.2 9.5 73.55(d)(1) 73.55(d)(4)
PA access control requirements 3.10.1 10.1 73.55(c)(5)
PA illumination requirements 3.13.1 14.1 73.55(c)(1) 73.55(d)(7)(i)(B)
Temporary reclassification of Vital Areas to PA status (devitalization)
Finally, consistent with the DBT Order, conforming administrative changes to Facility Operating Licenses (FOLs) are required to ensure implementation of DBT Order requirements.
Therefore, an administrative license change to FOL No. DPR-72 is being made to incorporate the reference to the revised PSP, SCP, and T&Q Plan required by the DBT Order. This change complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the Commission's rules and regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I.
Please replace the enclosed page to your FOL as indicated in Enclosure 1.
A copy of our SE with regard to your security plans (designated as Safeguards Information) is provided in Enclosure 2.
Sincerely,
/RA/
