Document Control Desk March 12, 1999 The reduction in the minimum shift complement of armed officers, by eliminating the armed l
guard tower officers, will not impact the SONGS defensive strategy nor defensive program.
Moreover, the current shift complement of armed officers, less the armed guard tower officers, have repeatedly demonstrated in controlled drill environments, including the NRC's Operations Safeguards Response Evaluation (Reference), that they can satisfactorily defend SONGS against Security emergencies up to and including the DBT. Guard towers and an elevated access control l
post will still be continuously posted, but with the option of posting either an armed security officer or an unarmed security person to perform the post job duties and responsibilities, i.e.,
protected area barrier assessment and notification.
Consistent with the proposed change, revisions are also proposed to License Conditions 2.C.(4) for SONGS Unit 1, and 2.E for SONGS Units 2 and 3, respectively in Enclosure 2.
I Southern Califomia Edison requests that this amendment be issued effective as ofits date of issuance and be implemented within 30 days from the date ofissuance, Enclosure I contains " Safeguards Information" attachments, and must be protected in accordance with 10 CFR 73.21. If you have any questions regaroing this information, please let me know.
Sincerely,
