SUBJECT:
OPERATIONAL SAFEGUARDS RESPONSE EVALUATION PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Hinnant:
.The NRC is in the process of conducting operational safeguards response
. evaluations (OSREs) at nucl, ear power reactors.
I wish to formally inform youc that the Brunswick Steam E' ectric Plant, Units 1 & 2. has been chosen for such
-a review scheduled for the week of March 9 throur 12, 1998.
This confirms the previously conducted telephonic scheduling.
The primarily objective of the OSRE program is to evaluate the readiness of licensees' onsite security forces to respond to an external threat.
A focus-of these reviews ir the priorities established between plant operations and_'
security departments for protection of equipment and the defensive strategies used. These reviews complement NRC's licensing and regional inspection functions.
An OSRE team includes a nuclear systems engineer, reactor safeguards i
specialists, and at least two NRC contractors. Additional assistance is
.provided by 'an inspector from the NRC regional office and an NRC resident inspector.
The first day on site begins with an entrance briefing, which will-provide an overview of the team's objectives and antici)ated activities for the duration i
of the visit. Any licensee questions on metlodology or other matters are then
-addressed so that a common understanding can be reached. Also, the suggested i
schedule.for the onsite activities is discussed, and key licensee contact persons.are identified.
It is through these contact persons that arrangements i
are made-for knowledgeable l licensee personnel to escort the team members
'during the reviewi After_ the entrance briefing. part of the OSRE team takes a general oiientation -
[
tour.of the protected area perimeter and' potential target equipment sets, i
- Concurrently, part of the team will meet with appropriate site operations i
and/or engineering staff.to identify the site-specific sets of target equipment to be used in table top' exercises and actual onsite response drills.

response team leaders. The team will also observe actual response drills, which r.hould be conducted using normal drill procedures and participants.
Team participati will be limited to scenario selection and drill observation. Adoitionally, the team will interview training staff and attend a live-fire weapons demonstration by lice.see security officers to observe courses of fire and familiarity and proficiency of officers with respcase weapons.
The team nuclear systems engineer will also want to meet with additional plant operators to assure that security systems are not interfering with safe operation of the plant.
Please provide appropriate plant personnel support for the OSRE team during the scheduled evaluation.
Specifically, security members will require escorts from the security training departments, and the team systems engineer will need an individual familiar with safety equipment location and functional capabilities. -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 spend on site may vary, but generally will range from six to eight hours per day.
Some of this time is expected to be during evening hours, if you have any questions regarding the conduct of the operational safeguards response evaluation program which you wish to have answered prior to the team's visit, please contact David Orrik. Safeguards Branch at (301) 415 3213.
or me at (404) 331-4621.
Sincerely.
