27780 Blue Star Memorial Highway Covert, MI 49043
SUBJECT:
CORRECTION OF RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION FROM SPECIFIC SECURITY REQUIREMENTS
Dear Mr. Hamilton:
On November 30, 2010, you submitted a letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requesting exemption from specific requirements in Section 73.55 of Part 73 in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 C.F.R.) (ML103540261). Section 73.55 identifies the physical protection requirements to prevent radiological sabotage at nuclear power plants.
On June 25, 2012, the NRC issued a response and a Safety Evaluation Report (SER) pursuant to your request (ML12179A153). In this response, the NRC denied the portion of your request related to exemption from the requirements in 73.55(l) and 73.55(r)(ii), which specify the security measures to be implemented for the storage of un-irradiated mixed oxide (MOX) fuel assemblies, because the NRC determined these regulations were not applicable to your facility.
The NRC stated in the SER that MOX fuel had not been used at any time during the operation of the Big Rock Point (BRP) facility.
On July 18, 2012, you informed the NRC that MOX fuel had, in fact, been used during the operation of the BRP facility (ML12243A157). We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Enclosed, please find Revision 1 of the SER which corrects the original SER on this point. This change does not alter the findings of the NRC regarding the 10 C.F.R. 73.55(l) and 73.55(r)(ii) exemption requests because any MOX fuel currently at the BRP independent spent fuel storage installation has been irradiated and, as stated above, the regulations from which BRP requested exemption are associated with the storage of un-irradiated MOX fuel.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the publicly available records component of the NRCs document system, ADAMS. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room). However, because of the security-related concerns contained in the enclosure, and in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390, a copy of this letters enclosure will not be available for public inspection.
