UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 2055&4001 September 26, 1995 Dr. Robert C. Hecredy Vice President, Nuclear Operations Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation 89 East Avenue Rochester, NY 14649

SUBJECT:

LESSONS LEARNED FROM NUCLEAR REGULATORY COHHISSION OPERATIONAL SAFEGUARDS

RESPONSE

EVALUATIONS

Dear Dr. Hecredy:

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Operational Safeguards

Response

Evaluation (OSRE) program has noted a variety of weaknesses and strengths associated with licensees'ontingency response capabilities in relation to their ability to protect their plant(s) against a design-basis threat for sabotage

[10 CFR 73. 1(a)].

In addition, the NRC investigation of the unauthorized forced entry to the protected area at the Three Hile Island Nuclear Station on February 7,

1993, prompted an evaluation of the need for guidance in response to authorized forced entry into a licensee's protected area.

This letter is to inform you that information is being provided to your plant security manager that could assist in your efforts to protect your plant against a design-basis threat for sabotage.

This information is (1) applicable sections of NUREG/CR-5172, "Tactical Training Reference Hanual," dated April 1989, which could be used in plant tactical security training programs, and (2) lessons learned in plant contingency responses identified through OSREs.

Because this information contains Safeguards Information, it is being withheld from public disclosure and will be forwarded with this letter only to your plant security manager.

Plant security managers have previously been forwarded a copy of NUREG/CR-5172.

This document is oriented primarily toward fuel cycle facilities and incorporates guidance from a similar U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) program; however, it contains useful information for nuclear power plants.

This manual addresses skills that armed response personnel could employ to ensure personal safety and effective response to adversary actions and provides guidance in the general factors that could be considered.

The manual is, however, for reference purposes only and its contents should not be construed as acceptance criteria or as regulatory requirements.

The OSRE lessons learned provide the weaknesses and strengths identified during OSREs pertaining to licensees'apability to cope with an adversary with the characteristics specified in NRC's design-basis threat.

It is suggested that the information be reviewed for applicability to your plant and actions be considered, as appropriate.

However, the solutions and approaches O'C43 9510020212 950926 PDR ADQCK 05000244 F.

R. Hecredy September 26, 1995 contained, in these OSRE lessons learned do not constitute NRC requirements, and it 'should, not be -inferred that, these are the only acceptable solutions for a plant.

No specific action or,'written response to this letter is required.
