ACCEPTANCE FOR DETAILED REVIEW OF AMERICAN CENTRIFUGE OPERATINGS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF CHANGES TO LICENSING DOCUMENTS RESULTING FROM COMPLIANCE WITH 32 CFR 117 (ENTERPRISE PROJECT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: L-2022-SPR-0005)

Dear Kelly Fitch:

By letter dated April 7, 2022 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML22102A092), American Centrifuge Operating, LLC (ACO), a wholly owned subsidiary of Centrus Energy Corp. (Centrus), provided the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) a license amendment request involving proposed changes to the following security plans:

SP-3605-0041, Security Plan for the Protection of Classified Matter at the American Centrifuge Plant; SP-3605-0042, Security Plan for the Physical Protection of Special Nuclear Material at the American Centrifuge Plant; SP-3605-0045, Security Plan for the Protection of Classified Matter at Centrus Energy Corp. Headquarters; and NR-SP-ACO-OR-0001, Security Program for American Centrifuge Operating, LLC at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

The changes to the security plans resulted from ACOs proposed implementation of Title 32 of the Code of Federal Regulations (32 CFR) Part 117, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM), and the Security Executive Agent Directive 3, Reporting Requirements for Personnel with Access to Classified Information or Who Hold a Sensitive Position (SEAD 3), requirements.
