OFFICE OF THE June 29, 1993 SECRETARY MEMORANDUM TO:
James M. Taylor Executive Director for Op6Y ions FROM:
Samuel J.
Chilk, Secreta b
l
SUBJECT:
SECY-93-166 - STAFF RECOMEN )ATION FOR PROTECTION AGAINST MALEV3 LENT USE OF VEHICLES AT NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS The Commission (with all Commissioners agreeing) has approved Option 5, as presented in the subject paper, to include:
1) modification of the design basis threat (DBT) for radiological sabotage to include a land vehicle for the transport of personnel, hand-carried equipment and/or explosives; 2) modification of 10 CFR 73.55 to reflect the change to the DBT and allow for alternative measures when establishing standoff distances; and 3) expedited rulemaking to implement these changes allowing at least 30 days for public comment.
To allow for meaningful public' comment, the screening criteria (for safe standoff-distances for various types of structures),
should be available during the public comment period.
With regard to the standard to be applied in determining when alternative measures would be accepted, the Commission does not support use of the staff's proposed " disproportionate cost" test.
l The staff should rely on the normal backfit analysis required by 10 CFR 50.109 to determine whether the " costs of fully meeting the design goals and criteria" are justified.
The last sentence of the proposed subsection 73.55(c) (8) should be modified to remove the " disproportionate cost" concept and refer to the SECY NOTE:
SECY-93-166 WAS RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC ON JUNE 24, 1993.
THIS SRM AND THE VOTE. SHEETS OF ALL COMMISSIONERS WILL BE MADE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE 10 WORKING DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THIS SRM i

normal backfit analysis as follows --
The Commission will accept the proposed alternative measures if they provide substantial protection against a land i
vehicle bomb, essential elements of the criteria in 10 CFR 50.109,and it is the costs of fully meeting the design goals and criteria are that not justified by the added protection that would be provided.
