U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION APPROVAL OF 3 YEAR EXTENSION OF GLOBAL LASER ENRICHMENT, LLC AUTHORIZATION TO OPERATE THE CLASSIFIED NETWORK AND UPDATES TO THE SECURITY PLAN DOCUMENTS

Dear Ms. Jenny:

By letter dated June 28, 2018 (GLE-2018-0019) (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System [ADAMS] Accession Number ML18191B161), Global Laser Enrichment, LLC (GLE) notified the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that, due to General Electric Hitachis plans to withdraw from the laser enrichment project, GLE requests to maintain the existing controls for the triannual classified network reaccreditation. These classified network controls are based on NIST 800-53 Revision 3 and Committee on National Security Systems Instruction Number 1253. To support this review, GLE also submitted updated versions of their network documents via letter dated July 5, 2018 including:

• GLEP-00015-R, Rev. 6, Program Cyber Security Plan(PCSP), (Non-Public ADAMS Number ML18193A996);

• GLEP-00017-R, Rev. 5, PCSP Security Test and Evaluation (ST&E),(stored in the GLE safe - Number 54281); and

• GLEP-00023-R, Rev. 8.2, Classified Distributive Information Network (CDIN),

(Non-Public ADAMS Number ML18193A984).

On June 18-19, 2018, NRC and the U.S. Department of Energy Nuclear Energy Oak Ridge Site Office (DOE-NE-ORSO) staff conducted a site visit to confirm GLEs implementation of the commitments in these documents, see meeting summary (ADAMS Accession Number ML18173A076). By letter dated October 18, 2018 (ADAMS Number ML18296A090) as the Authorizing Official (AO) for GLEs classified networks, DOE-NE-ORSO informed the NRC staff of its approval of GLEs request and recommended reaccreditation of the classified network.

Based on the document review, the site visit, and the Authorization to Operate (ATO) from DOE-NE-ORSO, the NRC approves the updates to the PCSP, ST&E, CDIN and the 3-year extension of the ATO beginning October 18, 2018. The ATO allows for processing up to, and including, SECRET-Restricted Data. To maintain this ATO, the continuous monitoring reports must be submitted to the AO and the NRC at least annually.

P. Jenny 2 This letter closes out the Cost Activity Code 000225/07007016/L-2018-SPR-0002, Reaccreditation of GLE LLC Program Cyber Security Plan.
