Dear Mr. Chairman:
Public Law 95-601 directs the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to' forward to the Congress a report on the Commission's domestjc safeguards program. We are pleased to forward the enclosed report entitled "NRC Annual Report on Domestic Safeguards (Fiscal Year 1978)".
?
The Congress specifically asked that the annual report include an assessment of the effectiveness and adequacy of safeguards at facilities and activities licensed by the Commission.
To this end, the report
[.
details NRC's criteria for judging the adequacy of safeguar'ds at s
fuel cycle facilities; 'the report also summarizes actions required k
by NRC at' any fuel facility whose safeguards systems are judged to provide less than high assurance protection against our design threat.
In addi. tion, the report contains a discussion of NRC's criteri.a for safeguards adequacy at nuclear reactors and for transportation activities.
7 The process of preparing this report has been useful in focusing our attention on issues associated with the adequacy of domestic safeguards.
As a result, we have identified areas where our evolving safeguards T.
regulatory policy needs improvement, and we have begun a systematic evaluation of these areas.
We intend to implement any needed changes as soon as possible.

The Commission will continue to inform the Congress on all matters of safeguards significance.

Sincerely, Joseph M. Hendrie Chairman Attachment.
