Dear Mr. Parkinsen:
~'
By letter dated August 25, 1980, you submitted a revision of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute Physical Security Plan for your Argonaut-type reactor, j
License No. R-62.
We have reviewed the submittal and have concluded that the revision meets the requiremer.ts of 10 CFR 73.67 for the protection of special nuclear material of moderate strategic significance. Since the current NRC-approved physical security plan should properly be reflected in the license authorization for your facility, we are herewith issuing Amendment No. 5 to Facility License No. R-62 which identifies your currently approved physical security plan.
Changes which would not decrease the effectiveness of your approved physical security plan may be made without p-ior approval by the Commission pursuant to the authority of 10 CFR 50.54(p). Changes which do require prior NRC aporoval should be submitted and identified as license amendment requests.
Based on the fact that this license amendment applies to the physical security plan and incorporates into the license the latest requirements of your updated physical security plan, we have concluded that:
(1) the amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequence of accidents previously considered, does not involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, and, therefore, does not involve a significant hazards consider-ation; (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health :nd safety of the public will not be endangered by this action; and (3) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
