Dear Sir or Madam:

By letter dated October. 16, 2002 (Reference 1), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued an Order to Southern California Edison (SCE) for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS). The Order provided Interim Safeguards and Security Compensatory Measures (ICM) for the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) then under construction at SONGS. By letter dated October 31, 2002, SCE responded, to the Order stating the compliance with the requirements of Reference 1 would be achieved prior to first moving fuel into the new ISFSI.

Following the permanent cessation of operations at SONGS, SCE has been preparing an expansion to the SONGS ISFSI. Once construction of the ISFSI expansion is complete, SCE plans to move all spent fuel on site from the spent fuel pools to dry storage within the ISFSI in preparation for active decommissioning of the SONGS Units 2 and 3 structures (decommissioning of SONGS Unit 1 has largely been completed). SCE has submitted a proposed change to the SONGS Security Plan (Reference 3) to reflect the reduced security requirements once spent fuel transfer is completed and an ISFSl-only configuration is achieved.

N.OTE: ENCLOSURE 1 TO THIS LETTER CONTAINS "SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION." THIS INFORMATION MUST BE PROTECTED ACCORDINGLY. UPON SEPARATION FROM ENCLOSURE 1, THIS LETTER IS "DECONTROLLED."

SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION

• SCE's initial statement of compliance with the ICM order for the SONGS ISFSI was specific to Attachment 2, section C, of the Order, which provides requirements for "Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations Using Dry Storage Located at an Operating Reactor Facility on the Owner-Controlled Area." Once spent fuel is removed from the SONGS Units 2 and 3 spentfuel pools and the *1s_FSl-only Security Plan is implemented, the requirements of Attachment 2, Section C of Reference 1 will no longer be applicable to the SONGS ISFSI.

The Enclosure to this letter provides a revised response to Reference 1 demonstrating how SONGS will comply with Attachment 2, Seetion 8, "Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations (ISFSI) Using Dry Storage that are Not Co-Located at an Operating Reactor Facility," following transition to the SONGS ISFSl-only Security Plan.

• SCE will continue to comply with Attachment 2, Section C requirements of Reference 1 until implementation of the SONGS ISFSl-only Security Plan .

. There are no new regulatory commitments in this letter or the enclosures.

Please contact Mr. Al Bates at (949) 368-6945 if you have any questions regarding this

• submittal or require additional information.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
