SUBJECT:
ACCEPTANCE FOR DOCKETING OF THE LONG MOTT GENERATING STATION CONSTRUCTION PERMIT APPLICATION SUBMITTED BY LONG MOTT ENERGY, LLC AND REQUEST FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY CONSULTATION
Dear Mr. Bosarge:
By letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated March 31, 2025 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML25090A058), Long Mott Energy, LLC (LME), submitted a construction permit (CP) application for a reactor facility pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, and Section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. The facility, referred to as Long Mott Generating Station (LMGS), would be built in Calhoun County, Texas. On May 12, 2025 (ML25115A247), the NRC accepted LMEs CP application for docketing. The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the NRC staffs acceptance of this application, provide you with the application materials, and request a consultation consistent with terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the NRC, dated December 19, 2011 (ML113550508).
Per the MOU, before issuing a license for a utilization facility the NRC will request that DHS (CISA) review and provide to the NRC comments on the vulnerabilities of the location of the proposed facility to a potential terrorist attack. CISA should note that the LME CP application provides siting information as required by NRC regulations for the LMGS site but does not contain the sites security plans. This information would typically be developed and provided by LME to the NRC at a later date in support of an application for an operating license. In its review of the LME CP, the NRC staffs security review is limited to whether the site characteristics allow for the development of adequate security plans and a physical protection program and site protective strategy. A consultation review performed by CISA at this time will be used to inform the applicants development of these site security plans and NRCs review of the LME application.
As discussed during the June 4, 2025, consultation meeting, the public version of the application and application acceptance letter was submitted to CISA via email on May 27, 2025, and again during the June 4, 2025, meeting.
