i Chairman Jackson's Comments on SECY-99-008 I approve the subject rulemaking plan for physical security / safeguards for permanently shutdown power reactors subject to the following comments. I note that the paper discusses the subject of security in a vacuum; that is, physical security is not treated as a single element of a multi-element plan to improve the regulation of decommissioning reactor plants. This fact was recognized by the staffin the March l 17,1999, Commission meeting. I encourage the staff to work toward the more complete vision of decommissioning regulation referred to in that meeting and to include the treatment of physical security with other issues, such as emergency planning, backfit, and insurance protection.
The staff, in considering the performance-based approach, should evaluate physical protection j requirements (including for VBS) against the existing threat which should be periodically updated, or updated based on credible threat information.
