th 15425 Southwest 78 Court Miami, FL 33157-2347
Dear Dr. Salzberg:
I am responding to your letter of February 27, 2008, to Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, regarding flight rules and restrictions at the Turkey Point Nuclear Station. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received a copy of your letter through her office. In her forwarding letter, Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen asked the NRC to also address what measures are in place to assure Turkey Point containment structural integrity for potential aircraft impact.
The NRC has worked with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish flight restrictions at critical points around nuclear facilities, such as Turkey Point and other critical infrastructure, thereby enhancing the protection of air space around nuclear power plants (NPPs). In addition, the FAA has issued a notice to airmen, applicable to commercial, military, and private aircraft, to avoid the airspace above NPPs. These remain in use today, making commercial, military, or private aircraft crashes into NPPs unlikely. The owners of NPPs have also established liaisons with FAA to report unusual overflights or potential airborne threats to FAA (or other appropriate Federal agencies) and the NRC. However, to preclude unintended consequences, the NRC has cautioned licensee security managers to exercise judgment and discretion in determining whether flight activity is suspicious by considering normal air traffic patterns, proximity of the facility to local airports and U.S. military bases, the use of rivers and coastal waterways for navigational purposes, local weather conditions, and other unforeseen local circumstances. These measures provide for a safe and secure environment for the NPPs.
Should additional restrictions be deemed appropriate because of changing or more-specific threat information, our established lines of communication with other Federal agencies allow for prompt coordination.
NPPs such as Turkey Point Nuclear Station are massive structures with thick exterior walls and interior barriers of reinforced concrete, and are among the most hardened commercial structures in the country. The NRC requires that these facilities be designed with a defense-in-depth philosophy to withstand dynamic events such as tornadoes (and missiles generated by tornadoes), hurricanes, fires, floods, and earthquakes. The NRC also requires NPPs to have redundant and physically separated systems to address the effects of these events and to ensure safety. These requirements resulted in NPP designs that inherently afford a strong measure of protection against deliberate aircraft impacts.
The NRC has conducted research on phenomena associated with aircraft impacts on NPPs.
For the existing operating commercial NPPs, the NRC staff and its contractors have completed detailed, state-of-the-art analyses to evaluate the physical behavior of systems, structures, and components of the plants as a consequence of aircraft impact, and to develop mitigation strategies for maintaining spent fuel pool and reactor core cooling capability. The findings and
G. Salzberg recommendations from these studies are classified, but the NRC has provided the studies to commercial power utilities and NPP vendors to share valuable insights and enhance security measures. The NRC has strengthened requirements at NPPs such as Turkey Point, and required the plant owners to enhance their capabilities to mitigate the effects of large fires and explosions from any type of initiating event, including an aircraft crash. Finally, the NRC has considered these reports in developing regulatory requirements for new power plants.
Thank you for your interest in this issue. The NRC considers public involvement in, and information about, our activities to be a cornerstone of strong, fair regulation.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Siva P. Lingam at (301) 415-1564.
Sincerely,
/RA Bruce S. Mallett for/
