In Sections 11.2.2 and 14.4.1 of the PSP, the licensee describes the vehicle barrier system for the FNP. The descriptions in these sections seem to be contradictory. Specifically, the first paragraph of Section 11.2.2 on page 16 appears to contradict the first paragraph of 14.4.1 on page 22. Additionally, the description of vehicle barrier system (VBS) capabilities in the third paragraph of Section 11.2.2 on page 16 and the description of capabilities in the first paragraph on page 24 in Section 14.4.1 seem to be contradictory. Describe the VBS and how the site's VBS meets the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(e)(3)(i)(A).
Additionally, the licensee should make appropriate changes during the next revision of the site's PSP to ensure the language clearly describes the VBS, its function(s), and capabilities in accordance with 10 CFR 73.55(e)(1)(ii).
- 2.
In Section 7 of the SCP, the licensee describes their owner controlled area (OCA) vehicle checkpoint. It is unclear from the language whether the OCA vehicle checkpoint meets the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(h)(2)(iii) and (h)(2)(v). Describe the OCA vehicle checkpoint, the types of personnel who staff the checkpoint, and how it meets the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(h)(2)(iii) and 10 CFR(h)(2)(v). Additionally, the licensee should make appropriate changes Enclosure
- 2 during the next revision of the site's SCP to ensure the language clearly describes the OCA vehicle checkpoint in accordance with 10 CFR 73.SS(c)(S).
