Subject:

Detroit Edison Comments on the Proposed Rule for Security Reauirements Associated with Containment Access Control The purpose of this letter is to support the subject proposed rule and endorse the NEI response to Reference 2.

Detroit Edison fully supports the proposed rule changes especially for the following reasons cited in the discussion section of the Federal Register:

• Earlier rule making (Access Authorization, Criminal History Checks and Fitness for Duty) increased the protection against the insider threat.

• Personnel entering containment have already been given access to plant vital '

areas.

• Material entering containment has already been searched and cleared when

> entering the protected area.

At Fermi 2, this rule change would reduce two 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> per day posts during a refueling or major maintenance outage where heavy traffic into containment is 9506190001 950609 PDR PR 73 60FR24903 PDR

In addition, Detroit Edison endorses the NEl response to the subject proposed rule ;

for Security Requirements Associated with Containment Access Control.
