SUBJECT:
REVIEW OF PHYSICAL SECURITY PLAN ISSUES REFERRED FROM REGION lli FOR THE CLINTON POVER STATION (REVISION 22)
Dear Mr. Sipek:
This letter is in addition to a June 22,1996, letter you received from Region lll regaroing four issues that wem identified frorn your April 17,1996, letter, which transmitt*J Revision 22 to your security plan. The region believed that these issues may not meet the criteria for changes allowable under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(p) and, therefore, referred them to NRR for further consideration.
A review h.is been conducted of those issues in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(p); NRC Generic Letter 95-08, "10 CFR 50.54(p) Process for Changes to Security Plans Without Prior NRC Approval,' dated October 31,1995; and other guidance.
The following is the determination for each of the four icsues identified in the June letter.
The first issue is the reduction in the number of armed responders at the site. This is si clear reduction in your response capabilities and consequsntly has been determined not to be consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(p). A change such as this will require a detailed evaluation, Weh is not consistent with the 10 CFR 50.54(p) process or the guidance cor**.ained in Generic Letter 95-08 that indicates that 10 CFR 50.54(p) cannot be used to eliminate or replace recurity plan cornmitments ta M CFR 73.55(b) through (h). We recommend that this change be resubmitted under the provi:, ions of 10 CFR 50.90. Please revert back to the previous plan commitments until a new pian change is submitted and approved (Sections 1.5.9, 8.1.1, and 8.3).
f On the second issue, which pertains to commitments regarding ele barrier inspections and compensatory r"easures (Section 3.1.2.4), the staff agrees v
, m. determination regarding no decrease in efectiveness so defined by 10 CFR 50.54(p).
t The third issue is the reduction in the number of patrols. The reduction is laconsistent with Generic Lettel 95-08 and decrease.t the effectiveness of the plan. This document provides a
- specific example of acceptable patrol frequencies per shift with a minimum patrol frequency of no less than every 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, in the enclosure to your April 17 letter, you indicate that you are operating longer than standard shi,is, which would have patrols exceed the minimum time requirements contained ht the generic letter. Please revert back to the previous plan commitments until a new plan char.ge is submitted under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.90 and approved (Section 3.1.5.2).
