The: purpose of this letter is' to clarify our current position on the searchinc

'of packages. entering'the protected area.

"1 l.

,i L As you know, requirements in-10 CFR 73.46 (d)(5):and (6) prescribe that all-P y

packages-be searched for.firearme, explosives, and incendiary devices prior to

-i p

e, entry into'the protected area. NUREG 1329, " Entry / Exit Control at Fuel

(

Fabrication < Facilities Usinc or-Possessing Formula Quantities of Strategic.

o

?

Special Nuclear Material" sotes: under paragraph 2.1 '3 that all hand-carried.

y

' ' packages;should be subjected to explosives detection equipment specifically l

designed for searching packages..This is in-addition to the required search for!

7~'

' firearms' &, incendiary devices which may' be accomplished through X-ray or direct observation. The mosition is' based upon the recommendations of equipment-manufacturersiwho lave informed us that packeges hand-carried through a walk-through i

explosive detector'are not'being adequately searched, and such packages may 1

actually disrupt the' effectiveness of the walk-through explosive detector..

Delivered packages, because of the extra level of control exercised during the delivery process, may be. searched by physical-means alone, or by X-ray' equipment.

H

used in' conjunction with the package type explosive-detectors.
