In accordance with 10 CFR 73.55(r), the NRC may authorize an applicant or licensee to provide a measure for protection against radiological sabotage other than one required by 10 CFR 73.55 if the applicant or licensee demonstrates that the measures meet the same performance objectives and requirements specified in 10 CFR 73.55(b).

The Reference 1 letter contained Safeguards Information (SGI), which was protected pursuant to 10 CFR 73.21. By letter dated January 31, 2014 (Reference 2), Exelon submitted supplemental information to support the NRC's review process by providing non-SGI documentation supporting the no significant hazards consideration and environmental consideration. This information was suitable for any necessary publication in the Federal Registerand public dissemination.

Subsequently, in a letter dated September 10, 2014 (Reference 3), the NRC indicated that it had reviewed the supporting information submitted in the Reference 1 letter and needed additional information to support its continued review.

This response to the Reference 3 letter contains Safeguards Information and this information is being protected pursuant to 10 CFR 73.21. The affected attachments have beenappropriatelyidentified-and-maed-to-reftect-Safeguardis-information-content.
