All Power Reactor Licensees
Gentlemen:
This letter is being sent to all licensees authorized to operate a nuclear power reactor and to all applicants with applications for a license to operate a power reactor (FSAR docketed) to advise you that the Nuclear Regulatory commission has forwarded to the FEDERAL REGISTER a notice of meeting, subject "Implementation of 10 CFR 73.55 Requirements and Status of Research for Physical Protection of Licensed Activities in Nuclear Power Reactors against Industrial Sabotage" to be held May 11-12, 1978 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This meeting will be open to the public.
The first day of the meeting will be taken up with presentations by Sandia Laboratories and Los Alamos Scientific Laboratories (LASL) covering their physical security research efforts. Sandia has extensive experience in the analysis barriers, intrusion alarms, vital area identification and analysis, and security systems design, modeling and evaluation. Additionally, Sandia provides consultant services to DOE and NRC in most facets of safeguards. LASL has considerable experience in explosives and detection systems research. LASL also provides consultant services to the NRC and is currently assisting the NRC in the review of nuclear power plants physical security plans.
The second day will begin with an address by Mr. Victor Stello, Jr., Director Regulation. The theme for this day will be safeguards issues and answers in the implementation of 10 CFR 73.55. Discussions of the major issues that have surfaced during physical security plan reviews will be moderate by Mr. James R. Miller, Assistant Director for Reactor Safeguards, Division of Operating Reactors, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. These discussions will provide for an exchange between licensee representatives and NRC Safeguards personnel on questions related to implementation of the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55.All Power Reactor LicenseesApril 14, 1978
If you have any safeguards questionsthat you would like discussed at the meeting, please let us know and we will modify the enclosed agenda if time permits. For any further information or comments, please contact Frank Pagano of my staff (301-492-7846).
