SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.106, NRC (or the Commission) is providing notice, in the matter of Humboldt Bay Power Plant Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) Order Modifying License (Effective Immediately).
II. Further Information I
NRC has issued a specific license to Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), authorizing storage of spent fuel in an ISFSI, in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, and Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 72. This Order is being issued to PG&E, which has identified near-term plans to store spent fuel in an ISFSI under the specific license provisions of 10 CFR Part 72. The Commissions regulations at 10 CFR 72.184 require PG&E to maintain safeguards contingency plan procedures in accordance with 10 CFR Part 73, Appendix C. Specific safeguards requirements are contained in 10 CFR 73.51 or 73.55, as applicable.
II On September 11, 2001, terrorists simultaneously attacked targets in New York, NY, and Washington, DC, using large commercial aircraft as weapons. In response to the attacks and intelligence information subsequently obtained, the Commission issued a number of Safeguards and Threat Advisories to its licensees, to strengthen licensees capabilities and readiness to respond to a potential attack on a nuclear facility.
The Commission has also communicated with other Federal, State, and local government agencies and industry representatives, to discuss and evaluate the current threat environment, to assess the adequacy of security measures at licensed facilities.
In addition, the Commission has been conducting a comprehensive review of its safeguards and security programs and requirements.
As a result of its consideration of current safeguards and security plan requirements, as well as a review of information provided by the intelligence community and other governmental agencies, the Commission has determined that certain compensatory measures are required to be implemented by licensees as prudent, interim measures, to address the current threat environment, in a consistent manner, throughout the nuclear ISFSI community. Therefore, the Commission is imposing requirements, as set forth in 1 of this Order, on PG&E, which has indicated near-term plans to store spent fuel in an ISFSI under the specific license provisions of Part 72.
These interim requirements, which supplement existing regulatory requirements, will provide the Commission with reasonable assurance that the public health and safety and common defense and security continue to be adequately protected in the current threat environment. These requirements will remain in effect until the Commission determines otherwise.
The Commission recognizes that some measures may not be possible or necessary, or may need to be tailored to accommodate the specific VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:15 Dec 08, 2006 Jkt 211001 PO 00000 Frm 00084 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\\FR\\FM\\11DEN1.SGM 11DEN1 mstockstill on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES
