ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON REACTOR SAFEGUARDS NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 Honorable Marcus A. Rowden Chairman

u. s. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, OC 20555 August 17, 1976

Subject:

DFSIGN PROVISIOOS FOR PROI'ECTICN AGAINST SABOTAGE

Dear Mr. Rowden:

The ACRS has recorranended in reports on several projects, as well as in a report to the Commission dated October 14, 1975, that deliberate attention be given to aspects of design that could improve plant protection against sabotage. In its continuing review of this matter, the Conmittee has had the benefit of studies made by or for the NRC Staff, as well as other information. The ACRS believes that it can now make some specific recommendations regarding studies that should be initiated, as follows:

1) studies of the location of the irradiated fuel storage pool with regard to protection against overt action which could lead to a loss of water for cooling and shielding:
2) studies of bunkered, dedicated systems capable of accomplishing shutdown heat removal for many hours1
3) studies of spatial redundancy and the possible merits thereof.

Sincerely yours, Q.k.V,~~

Dade w. Moeller Chairman 3364
