OFFICIAL USE ONLY - 10 CFR 2.390(d)

October 7, 2005 Mr. Andrew C. Kauffman The Ohio State University Nuclear Reactor Laboratory 1298 Kinnear Road Columbus OH, 43212-1154

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - SECURITY MEASURES FOR RESEARCH AND TEST REACTORS WITH LICENSED POWER LEVELS LESS THAN 2 MEGAWATTS, WHICH RECEIVED CONFIRMATORY ACTION LETTERS

Dear Mr. Kauffman:

By letter dated January 23, 2003, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) provided you with a list of security compensatory measures (CMs) intended to enhance the physical security of your facility in the heightened post-September 11, 2001, threat environment. In that letter, the NRC requested that you (1) review each of the CMs to ensure that they could be implemented without having an adverse impact on safety, and (2) prepare a site-specific implementation plan for each CM. In response, you provided an implementation plan, which the NRC agreed to and documented in a Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) dated December 2, 2003.

In that CAL, the NRC indicated that there was a potential for the NRC to take additional actions on your planned security measures. The NRC finds it necessary to re-verify implementation of the January 23, 2003, CMs implemented at applicable RTR facilities. Accordingly, the NRC is seeking additional information regarding your security-related CM implementation plan. Your response to the enclosed request for additional information should be mailed within 30 days of your receipt of this letter.

The attachment to this letter should be controlled as 10 CFR 2.390(d) information and as such will not be made publicly available. Additionally, the security CMs are unclassified-sensitive information exempted from public disclosure under the provisions of 10 CFR 73.21 (safeguards information). Your response to this letter may contain safeguards information, and thus, would not be authorized for public release. If safeguards information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21.
