= 1 approve the staffs recommendations to modify the regulations to require identification of target sets, develop protective strategies, and exercise these strategies on a penodic basis, and to develop: associated regulatory guides, inspection program changes, revisions to the Enforcement Manual and necessary training for NRC inspectors.
However, the proposed actions are not sufficient to address the root of this controversy: an unclear and unstable body of rules goveming nuclear power reactor security. I believe that it is possible to add clarity and specificity to 10 CFR Part 73. In particular, the staff should o define the desired level of protection in the Purpose and Scope at 10 CFR 73.1; o clarify the definition of radiological sabotage at 10 CFR 73.2; and o in 10 CFR 73.55, clarify the agency's e@i; ens by, for example, sharpening definibons of terms such as "objeebve," high assurance,' *not inimical," and
" unreasonable risk."
Improving our regulations in this manner will help to ensure that the American people have the
. proper level of security protection at nuclear power plants without the imposition of unnecessary 1 and unrealistic burdens {
