SUBJECT:

R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-244 and 72-67 Changes to the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Security Plan, Training and Oualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan, and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program Pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.5 4 (p), attached is Revision 6 to the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan, and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program. A summary of changes is provided in Attachment 1 and the revised Plan is provided in Attachment 2. Attachment 2, Revision 6 to the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan, and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program is classified as Safeguards Information.

This Security Plan change submittal is in regards to removing a reference to the site's original vehicle barrier system (VBS). This reference is being removed to support the proposed vehicle gate replacement at the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant. These modifications will not alter the protective strategy nor reduce the effectiveness of the vehicle barrier system (VBS). In 1994, a VBS was installed that met the requirements listed in NUREG/CR 6190 Rev. 1. A portion of this system consisted of a vehicle gate that allowed vehicles access in and out of the protected area.

In 2004, the DBT was revised as well as NUREG/CR-6190. As a result of this, a new VBS was installed at Ginna Station to meet the requirements listed NUREG/CR6190 Rev 2. The previous VBS, which includes the Jersey barrier and cable-bollard systems, was no longer utilized to meet regulatory requirements was retired in place and referenced in the plan as providing additional margin. The existing vehicle gate which was part of the VBS installed in 1994 has significant reliability and obsolescence concerns and the decision has been made to replace it with a new gate which is not designed to the same criteria as the previous gate.

Safeguards Information Document Control Desk November 4, 2013 Page 2 After reviewing the site design blast calculation, replacement of the main vehiclegate does not invalidate any inputs, assumptions or results provided in this calculation. The gate being replaced meets the requirements that were set forth as a result of NUREG/CR 6190 issued in 1994.

However, since that time, the DBT has been revised. Site blast calculations analyze the current DBT counter measures, which satisfactorily meet or exceed the requirements described in the update to NUREG/CR 6190 to reflect the DBT that is dated March 17, 2004.

After a review of R.E. Ginna Station's protective strategy and R.E Ginna Nuclear Power Plant Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program, Revision 5, it has been determined that replacing the existing gate will not impact the site's protective strategy . Timelines and defensive positions will not be impacted. The operation of the new gate will remain the same as the gate being replaced. In addition, certain sections of the Jersey barrier and cable-bollard systems will remain in place as a conservative measure although they will no longer be taken credit for in the site's security plan. In conclusion, the modification that is being made to the site's VBS will not reduce the effectiveness of the security plan.
