Re: Update: Petitions under 10 CFR 2.206 Pertaining to Flood Protection at Fort Calhoun Station and Cooper Nuclear Station Mr. Lyon:

Thank you for the update regarding the 2.206 Enforcement Petition related to licensed operations at the Fort Calhoun and Cooper nuclear power plants.

The health and safety of the public and the overall environment ultimately rests with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission with respect to commercial operations at all NRC licensed nuclear reactors in the United States of American. The American people have placed their trust in the NRC to protect them and their families and property accordingly.

As reflected in the record created on or about Sept. 2013, at the NRC's Washington, D.C. Headquarters, I requested that the agency think "outside" of the box labelled 10 CFR 50, as the world has changed dramatically with terrorist organizations determined to kill Americans and disrupt the U.S. financial system by and through any means possible. To this extent, the NRC was urged to dis-allow any U.S. nuclear power plant from maintaining Internet connectivity as this could allow a "hacker" to unlawfully disrupt licensed operations at a U.S. nuclear facility - resulting in an unwanted release of nuclear materials into the environment. Moreover, the NRC was advised that terrorist hackers, could disrupt licensed operations of U.S. based nuclear power reactors by hacking "smart-devices" such as smart meters, and smart devices placed on High Voltage switch gear, substations, and other equipment that NRC licensees maintain.

Finally, the NRC was advised to cooperate with other U.S. Federal Agencies, to divide and separate the U.S. electric grid state-by-state - to ensure that a terrorist attack via the Internet or a physical attack could not disrupt electric service to the entire nation.

To the extent that these prior issues are a matter for the "common defense and national security of the United States of America" it is hereby requested that the NRC share these concerns with other federal agencies - including - but not limited to -

the Obama administration, Congress, Federal Energy Regulation Commission, Home Land Security, FBI, and State Regulatory Agencies accordingly.

The timely attention of the NRC to the concerns delineated above, is both anticipated and appreciated.

Kind regards, Thomas Saporito 1

Mr. Saporito, By letter dated January 13, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML120030022), the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Eric Leeds, accepted your petitions requesting escalated enforcement action against Fort Calhoun Station and Cooper Nuclear Station regarding flood protection (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML11182B029 and ML11192A285, respectively), dated June 26 and July 3, 2011, filed under 10 CFR 2.206. His letter also stated that the PRB denied your request for immediate action since it determined that there is no immediate safety concern that would warrant an immediate action by the NRC to prevent the restart of FCS or to bring Cooper to cold shutdown, as you requested.

The purpose of this e-mail is to inform you that the PRB is continuing to evaluate your petitions, with a target date of March 12, 2015, to respond to you.

Additionally, I have been assigned as the project manager for Fort Calhoun Station since the last update to you.
