FROM: Victor Stello, Jr. '
Deputy Executive Director P.egional Operations and Generic Requirements
SUBJECT:
CRGR REVIEW OF PROPOSED REVISION OF 10 CFR 73.71 AND REGULATORY GUIDE 5.62 CONCERNING NOTIFICATION >
REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFEGUARDS EVENTS .
l Ycur memorar.6m of August 14, 1984 fomarded the subject proposal to me and i indicated that it should be exempted from CRGR review on the grounds that there f would not be a substantial impact on f1RC staff or licensees as a result of the !
proposal's i plenentation. !
Although the proposal appears to improve the clarity and effectiveness of the i existing rule, and cay reduce the impact on licensees and NRC, CRGR review is ;
appropriate because the Committee is intent on ensuring a consistent safety [
(including safeguards) threshold event reporting, especially where ir: mediate i notification is involved. In this regard, your staff should contact Walt i Schwink (492-8639) to arrange for CRGR ' review of the proposal. This matter has ;
been discussed with members of your staff who asked that we help identify areas i of concern (T. Allen and P. Dwyer). l I expect that the Connittee's review will focus on:
2 (1) The rationale; i.e., need a'nd urgency (relative to protecting of public f health and safety and the environment or safeguarding nuclear materials !
and plar.ts in the interest of national security) for requiring that each !
of the itets (types of safeguards events) listed in the enclosure be !
reported within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> to the liRC Operations Center. [

comr.itted or caused'. or attempted to commit or cause, or has made a cred-l ible threat to commit or cause:
(1) A theft or unlawful diversion of special nuclear material, or ~
(2) Physical damage to any licensed facility or its equipment or carrier equipment transporting nuclear fuel or spent nuclear fuel, or to

cc::enents, or controls including the security system.
(b) Any fail' u re of the safeguards system or discovered vulnerabil-l ity in that system that could allow unauthorized end undetected access l
to a crotected area, material access area, controlled access area, or vital area, or to spent nuclear fuel or formula quantities of SSNM in t
! transit, for which proper compensatory measures have not been established.
, (c) All unauthorized entries through a required barrier whether or l
j not the breach is properly compensated.
(d) A " proper compensatory measure" for a particular safeguards eve.t as used in this Appendix means a measure that is specified in a security or contingency plan or security procedure. If the particular safeguards event is not described in a plan or procedure, then a "preoer coe:ensatory measure" means a measure imolemented within 10 minutes of an event's discovery that provides a level of security essentially ecuivalent to that existing before the event. .
