Confirming the position expressed by the NRC personnel during the above conversatien, we have determined that the substantial curie quantities of fission products that are present require that the irradiated fuei be protected as " vital equipment" as defined in 10 CFR 73.2(i) and, as such, shall be located within a " vital area" as defined in 10 CFR 73.2(h).
As was further pointed out, this position is consistent with the views of the NRC Reactor Safeguards Licensing staff as pertains to the storage of irradiated fuel at facilities which come under the provisions of 10 CFR 73.55.
It is our understanding that you intend to formally submit a complete physical protection plan addressing the specific requirements of 573.50 in support of your application for amendment. This plan shou'd incorporate material responsive to the contingency planning and guard qualification and training provisions required by s!73.50(a)(4) and (g) and delineated in Appendices B and C of 10 CFR Part 73.
In order to complete our review of this material in a time frame compatible with the schedule established for review of your e.aendment request, your plan submittal is requested within twenty (20) days of receipt of this letter.
