Gentlemen:
Re:
AMENDMENT T0 10 CFR 73.55 This letter is being sent to all licensees authorized to operate a nuclear power reactor and to all applicants with applications for a license to operate a power reactor to advise you that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has recently published in the FEDERAL REGISTER an effective amendment to its regulation 10 CFR 73.55, " Requirements for Physical Protection of Licensed Activities in Nuclear Power Reactors Against Industrial Sabotage." Enclosed is a copy of the FEDERAL REGISTER notice which is effective immediately on publication.
The amendment defers implementation of the physical search requirement of paragraph (d)(1) for regular employees of a licensee, the two-man rule and compartmentalization for protection against insider sabotage. The deferral for these measures is from February 23, 1979 to August 1,1979. The deferral for the implementation of these measures applies to all security plans (submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 73.55) approved by the Commission's Staff as well as the security plans still under review.
This action does not alter the requirement for you to fully implement all other security systems, measures and procedures described in your 573.55 security plan on or before February 23, 1979. Accordingly, NRC inspections af ter February 23, 1979 will be based upon your site security plan developed to meet the requirements of 573.55.
For any further information on the deferral of these measures, please contact Robert A. Clark, Chief, Reactor Safeguards Licensing Branch, on 301-492-7230.
Sincerely, Harold R. Denton, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
