Docket: 50-285 W 24 g Omaha Public Power District ATTN: R. L Andrews, Division Manager-Nuclear Production 1623 Harney Street

Omaha, Nebraska 68102 Gentlemen
,

l The NRC is in the process of conducting safeguards Regulatory Effectiveness Reviews at nuclear power reactors. I wish to inform you that the Ft. Calhoun Station has been chosen for a review scheduled for the week of April 28 through May 2, 1986.

The prime purpose of the review prngram is to evaluate the overall ,

effectiveness of the Ft. Calhoun Station safeguards program and to determine whether existing safeguards regulations yield the level of protection intended by NRC. The team performing the review supports NRC's quality assurance program for safeguards, both as it applies to the Ft. Calhoun Station security system and to the NRC's regulations. The review will . complement, but be independent of, the licensing and inspection functions.

The review at Ft. Calhoun will be conducted by a team with representatives from the Division of Safeguards, Region IV, and U.S. Army Special Forces personnel from Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The review will be comprised of ,

two groups. One group will look at the facility's safeguards from the l perspective of an insider, while the other will view safeguards f rom an l external adversary's perspective, l

l The review will initiate with an entrance briefing. You may wish to have a l

representative of your corporate staff present during this briefing, as it will provide an overview of the team's objectives and anticipated activities for the duration of the visit. Any questions that may arise concerning the '

i team's review technique or other matters, will be addressed at that time.

For the remainder of the first day, the team would like to have a plant orientation tour with emphasis on safeguards areas and systems, and begin the examination of plant vital areas. During the remainder of the on-site assessment, the team will continue reviewing vital areas and conponents, and the entire safeguards program. The last day is reserved for any activities the team has been unable to accomplish and for a briefing of plant and corporate personnel on the prelininary results of the review.

Omaha Public Power District Please provide appropriate plant personnel support for both groups of the team dJring the scheduled review. The external group will require an escort from the security department who can communicate with alarm stations. The internal group will need escorts from both security and plant operations. The latter should be individuals familiar with the locations and detailed operation of the engineered safety feature systems and components at Ft. Calhoun. The team will make every effort to schedule its activities so as to avoid disruption of normal plant operations. The time that various team members will spend on-site will vary, but generally will range from 4 to 7 hours8.101852e-5 days <br />0.00194 hours <br />1.157407e-5 weeks <br />2.6635e-6 months <br /> per day.
