The meeting notice and agenda, dated October 16, 2019, are available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) at Accession No. ML19289D236.

During the meeting, the licensee described its plans to change the PSPs for these plants based on security upgrades and reassessments of the physical protection systems and protective strategies.

The licensee plans to implement changes to its physical protection of the plants under the provision of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.54(p)(2). The licensee determined there is no reduction in effectiveness which would require the approval of the NRC via a license amendment request. The licensee summarized information on its reviews, validations, and vulnerability assessments and related security technical bases for the planned changes at each plant. The NRC staff asked clarifying questions regarding the licensees physical security upgrades, its assessments and the technical bases for the planned changes.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the NRC staff indicated that the security licensing bases for changes should be clearly captured in the reports of changes submitted to the NRC. The licensee did not request any regulatory decisions or commitments. The staff did not make any regulatory decisions or commitments at the meeting.
