SUBJECT: NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNIT 1 - REVIEW OF UPDATED FINAL SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT, REVISION 25 (EPID L-2017-LRO-0041)

BACKGROUND After the events of September 11, 2001, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) assessed and revised its sensitive information control policies to provide greater assurance against publicly disclosing information that could reasonably be expected to be useful to potential adversarie On November 9, 2004, the Commission issued SRM-SECY-04-0191 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML043140175), which approved (among other things) proposed guidance to prohibit proactive release to the public of sensitive unclassified information concerning nuclear power reactor Consistent with this direction, updated final safety analysis reports (UFSARs) were presumptively withheld from public releas In June 2015, the Commission issued SRM-SECY-15-0032 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15167A090), which approved the staff's recommendation to discontinue the presumptive withholding from public release of final safety analysis report (FSAR) updates, emergency preparedness documents, and fire protection-related documents, and to withdraw the direction provided in SRM-SECY-04-0191 to the extent that SRM-SECY- 04-0191 approved presumptive withholding of these document Given the issuance of SRM-SECY-15-0032, UFSAR updates are to be reviewed per the NRC Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information (SUNSI) policy and proactively released, as appropriate (as of December 15, 2015).

By letter dated October 5, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17286A080), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee) submitted Revision 25 to the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Power Station (Nine Mile Point), Unit 1, UFSAR in accordance with the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.71, "Maintenance of records, making of reports," paragraph (e).
