UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 February 21, 2014 Mr. Edward D. Halpin Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Pacific Gas and Electric Company Diablo Canyon Power Plant P.O. Box 56, Mail Code 104/6 Avila Beach, CA 93424

SUBJECT:

DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - REVIEW OF PHYSICAL SECURITY PLAN, TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION PLAN, SAFEGUARDS CONTINGENCY PLAN, AND INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION SECURITY PROGRAM, REVISION 7 AND 8 (TAC NO. D91660)

Dear Mr. Halpin:

By letter dated August 3, 2012, and as supplemented by a non-public letter dated March 6, 2013, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the licensee}, submitted Revision 7 of the Physical Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan, and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program for Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP}, Units 1 and 2. In addition, by letter dated May 9, 2013, the licensee submitted Revision 8 of the Physical Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan, and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Security Program for DCPP, Units 1 and 2. Both Revision 7 and 8 were submitted under the provisions of paragraph 50.54(p)(2} of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR).

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(p)(2}, the licensee may make changes to the plans without prior Commission approval if the changes do not decrease the safeguards effectiveness of the security plans. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staffs review consisted of determining whether the licensee properly concluded that changes in the revision did not decrease the safeguards effectiveness of the Commission-approved security plans.

The NRC staff concluded that the proposed changes in both Revision 7 and 8 did not involve a decrease in the safeguards effectiveness of the security plan as described in 10 CFR 50.54(p) and continues to meet the requirements in 10 CFR 73. The licensee provided supplemental information to support the review of Revision 7 in response to a request for additional information. This information was later incorporated into Revision 8 by the licensee. The staff's review of Revision 7 and 8 is summarized in staff conclusion of Enclosure. The effectiveness of the implementation of the identified changes in the revised security plans is subject to future NRC review and inspection.

E. Halpin If you have any questions, please contact me at 301-415-4125 or via e-mail at James.Kim@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, James Kim, Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch IV-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-275 and 50-323

TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION PLAN. AND SAFEGUARDS CONTINGENCY PLAN. AND INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION SECURITY PROGRAM. REVISION 7 AND 8 PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT. UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-275 AND 50-323

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By letters dated August 13, 2012 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML12219A358), as supplemented by letter dated March 6, 2013 (non-public), and May 9, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13134A016), Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the licensee) submitted Diablo Canyon Power Plant's Physical Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, and Safeguards Contingency Plan, Revision 7 and 8 respectively under the provisions of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.54(p)(2). Portions of the letters dated August 13, 2012, and May 9, 2013, contain sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information (security-related) and safeguards information and, accordingly, are withheld from public disclosure.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's review of the licensee's security plans was conducted in accordance with the applicable requirements of 10 CFR Part 73 as well as the guidance contained within the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response (NSIR)

Procedure LIC-800, "Security Review Procedure for 10 CFR 50.54(p)(2)," and the NRC-endorsed Nuclear Entergy Institute (NEI) 03-12, Revision 7, Template for Security Plans, as appropriate.

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(p)(2), the licensee may make changes to the plans without prior Commission approval if the changes do not decrease the safeguards effectiveness of the security plans. The licensee must submit a report to the NRC containing the description of each change, within 2 months after changes are made.

Enclosure

The NRC staff's review consisted of determining whether the licensee properly concluded that changes did not decrease the safeguards effectiveness of the Commission-approved security plans.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

3.1 REVISION 7 The NRC staff compared these changes with the previous revision of the licensee's security plans and referred to the guidance documents listed above. The NRC staff noted that the licensee's Revision 7 security plans utilized the NEI 03-12, Revision 7, template endorsed by NRC to make security plan changes and addressed recently issued Security Frequently Asked Questions.

The following items were noted:

1. The NRC staff questioned the descriptions within the Physical Security Plan regarding illumination of the protected area and how the system meets the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(e)(7)(i)(C), 10 CFR 73.55(i)(2), and 10 CFR 73.55(i)(3)(vii).

2. The NRC staff also had questions regarding the description of the training and qualification requirements for security personnel.

The NRC staff requested additional information from the licensee in order to complete its review. The NRC staff sent a request for additional information (RAI) to the licensee on January 23, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13023A407). By letter dated March 6, 2013, the licensee provided its response to the RAI. The March 6 letter is withheld from public disclosure in its entirety because it contains security-related information.

The licensee's RAI response provided adequate clarification of the items for which information was requested. The NRC staff concludes that the licensee's proposed Revision 7 does not decrease the safeguards effectiveness of the security plan and continues to meet the requirements in 10 CFR 73, and is, therefore, acceptable.

3.2 REVISION 8 The NRC staff compared these changes with the previous revision of the licensee's security plans and referred to the guidance documents listed above. The NRC staff noted that the licensee's Revision 8 security plan included a change to the configuration of the security response organization and incorporated the information submitted to the NRC in response to a January 23, 2013, request for additional information. The NRC staff concludes that the licensee's proposed Revision 8 does not decrease the safeguards effectiveness of the security plan and continues to meet the requirements in 10 CFR 73, and is, therefore, acceptable.

4.0 CONCLUSION

The NRC staff determined that the proposed changes in both Revision 7 and 8 did not result in a decrease in the safeguards effectiveness of the security plan and continues to meet the requirements in 10 CFR 73, and is, therefore, acceptable.
