Ms. Annette Vietti-Cook C-05-0647 RC-05-0050 Page 2 of 2 Discussion of proposed amendments by Section Definition of Trustworthiness and Reliability.
The reference that this expectation is embodied in Section 73.55 and 26.10 infers that these elements must also be completed to determine trustworthiness and reliability for access to SGI. If this is the expectation then it should be specified in the requirements. However this will be very challenging to administer especially for the contract engineering firms who are never at the site. There is also no guidance on how long an individual can have access to SGI without any update of information.
Section73.22 (a)(1 )(vii)(viii)(ix). These sections reference the safeguards contingency plan and training and qualification plan. These are now part of the composite Security Plan that was submitted as result of the Order.
(a)(1 )(x),...safeguards or security emergencies. This text is not consistent with the Plan template that used the phrase security contingency events.
(a)(1 )(xii) Recommend revising the wording in the'end of the sentence....by significantly increasing the likelihood of theft, diversion, or sabotage of material or a facility to the wording that is used in the definition of SGI, significantly increasing the likelihood of radiological sabotage or theft or diversion of source, byproduct, or special nuclear material.
(c) Add that SGI may also be store in the Reactor Control Room.
Section 73.23 (a)(1 )(ix)... safeguards or security emergencies. This text is not consistent with the Plan template that used the phrase security contingency events.
(a)(1)(x) Recommend revising the wording in the end of the sentence....by significantly increasing the likelihood of theft, diversion, or sabotage of material or a facility to the wording that is used in the definition of SGI, significantly increasing the likelihood of radiological sabotage or theft or diversion of source, byproduct, or special nuclear material.
