SUBJECT:

JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - SENSITIVE UNCLASSIFIED NON-SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION REVIEW OF 2019 FINAL SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT CHANGE PAGES (EPID L-2019-LRO-0049)

BACKGROUND After the events of September 11, 2001, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) assessed and revised its sensitive information control policies to provide greater assurance against publicly disclosing information that could reasonably be expected to be useful to potential adversaries. On November 9, 2004, the Commission issued SRM-SECY-04-0191 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML043140175), which approved (among other things) proposed guidance to prohibit proactive release to the public of sensitive unclassified information concerning nuclear power reactors. Consistent with this direction, updated final safety analysis reports (UFSARs) were presumptively withheld from public release.

In June 2015, the Commission issued SRM-SECY-15-0032 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15167A090), which approved the NRC staffs recommendation to discontinue the presumptive withholding from public release of final safety analysis report (FSAR) updates, emergency preparedness documents, and fire protection-related documents, and to withdraw the direction provided in SRM-SECY-04-0191 to the extent that SRM-SECY-04-0191 approved presumptive withholding of these documents. Given the issuance of SRM-SECY-15-0032, UFSAR updates are to be reviewed per the NRC Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information (SUNSI) policy and proactively released, as appropriate (as of December 15, 2015).

By letter dated April 10, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19164A151), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee) submitted the 2019 FSAR change pages for the James A.

FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (FitzPatrick) in accordance with the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.71, Maintenance of records, making of reports, paragraph (e). The purpose of this memorandum is to document the staff review of the FitzPatrick changes in accordance with the guidance provided in NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2015-17, Review and Submission of Updates to Final Safety Analysis Reports, Emergency Preparedness Documents, and Fire Protection Documents (ADAMS Accession No. ML15321A400).

EVALUATION The SUNSI review of the 2019 FitzPatrick FSAR change pages was conducted using guidelines in Attachment 1 to SECY-04-0191 (ADAMS Accession No. ML042310663), which was identified as an aid in RIS 2015-17. SECY-04-0191 provides a general framework and discussion of SUNSI, as well as a table detailing specific examples of sensitive information that should be withheld from public disclosure. This table is organized by categories of information (e.g., plant drawings, hydrological information, risk information, fire protection), loosely aligning with a large number of standard sections of UFSARs, and provides specific examples of information that should be withheld from public disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1). In addition to the table, the project manager guidance for SUNSI reviews that is available on the Division of Operating Reactor Licensing SharePoint site was considered.

The SUNSI review excluded FSAR sections, chapters, and appendices that contain subjects identified as uncontrolled in the Control of Information by Subject Matter table in to SECY-04-0191. The following table shows the FitzPatrick FSAR chapters that are uncontrolled according to Attachment 1 to SECY-04-0191.

FitzPatrick Title Attachment 1 to SECY-04-0191, FSAR Discussion of Typical Controls Chapter 1 Introduction and Summary 2 Site 3 Reactor Uncontrolled 4 Reactor Coolant System Uncontrolled 5 Containment 6 Emergency Core Cooling System 7 Instrumentation and Controls Uncontrolled 8 Electrical Systems Uncontrolled 9 Auxiliary Systems 10 Steam and Power Conversion System Uncontrolled 11 Radioactive Waste and Radiation Protection 12 Structures 13 Conduct of Operations Uncontrolled 14 Safety Analyses Uncontrolled 15 Technical Specifications Uncontrolled 16 Appendices The 2019 change pages for FitzPatrick FSAR Chapters 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, and 16 were reviewed for SUNSI.

CONCLUSION The SUNSI review of the 2019 FitzPatrick FSAR change pages did not identify any information to be withheld from public disclosure. The 2019 FitzPatrick FSAR change pages will be made publicly available in ADAMS.
