SUBJECT:
OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION- REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST RELATED TO REACTOR BUILDING VITAL AREA ACCESS CONTROL (TAC NO. MF3295)
Dear Mr. Pacilio:
By letter dated December 19, 2013 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML13358A245), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon or the licensee) submitted the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS) license amendment request pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 0 CFR), Section 50.90, to implement an alternative measure to satisfy the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(e)(9) relating to controlling vital area access for certain portions of the reactor building at OCNGS. The attachment to the letter dated December 19, 2013, contained Safeguards Information and has been withheld from public disclosure.
In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(r), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 measure meets the same performance objectives, and requirements as specified in 10 CFR 73.55(b), and the proposed alternative measure provides a level of protection that is at least equal to that which would otherwise be provided by the specific requirement in 10 CFR 73.55.
The NRC staff is currently reviewing the submittal and is enclosing a request for additional information (RAI) to support its review. A draft of these questions was previously sent to Mr.
Richard Gropp of your staff on August 12, 2014, with an opportunity to have a teleconference to ensure that Exelon understood the questions and their regulatory basis, as well as to verify that the information was not previously docketed.
Enclosure 2 transmitted herewith contains Security-Related Information. When separated from Enclosure 2, this document is decontrolled.

By letter dated December 19, 2013 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML13358A245), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon or the licensee) submitted the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS) license amendment request pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 0 CFR), Section 50.90 to implement an alternative measure to satisfy the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(e)(9) relating to controlling vital area access at OCNGS. The enclosure to the letter contained Safeguards Information and has been withheld from public disclosure.
In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(r), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 measure meets the same performance objectives and requirements as specified in 10 CFR 73.55(b), and the proposed alternative measure provides a level of protection that is at least equal to that which would otherwise be provided by the specific requirement in 10 CFR 73.55. The NRC staff is currently reviewing the submittal and has determined that the additional information requested below is needed to support its review.
REGULA TORY BASIS The regulations in 10 CFR 73.55(e)(9)(i), state that "[v]ital equipment must be located only within vital areas, which must be located within a protected area so that access to vital equipment requires passage through at least two physical barriers, except as otherwise approved by the Commission and identified in the security plans."
The regulations in 10 CFR 73.55(e)(9)(ii) state that "[t]he licensee shall protect all vital area access portals and vital area emergency exits with intrusion detection equipment and locking Enclosure 1 OFFICIAL USE ONLY SECURITY REbATED INFORMATION
