SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.106, NRC (or the
Commission) is providing notice, in the
matter of Byron Generating Station
Independent Spent Fuel Storage
Installation (ISFSI) Order Modifying
License (Effective Immediately).
II. Further Information
I
NRC has issued a general license to
Exelon Generating Company, LLC
(Exelon), authorizing the operation of an
ISFSI, in accordance with the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and
Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) Part 72. This
Order is being issued to Exelon, which
has identified near-term plans to store
spent fuel in an ISFSI under the general
license provisions of 10 CFR Part 72.
The Commission(s regulations at 10 CFR
72.212(b)(5) and 10 CFR 73.55(h)(1)
require Exelon to maintain safeguards
contingency plan procedures to respond
to threats of radiological sabotage and to
protect the spent fuel against the threat
of radiological sabotage, in accordance
with 10 CFR Part 73, Appendix C.
Specific safeguards requirements are
contained in 10 CFR 73.51 or 73.55, as
applicable.
Inasmuch as an insider has an
opportunity equal to, or greater than,
any other person, to commit radiological
sabotage, the Commission has
determined these measures to be
PO 00000
Frm 00104

prudent. Comparable Orders have been
issued to all licensees that currently
store spent fuel or have identified nearterm plans to store spent fuel in an
ISFSI.
II
On September 11, 2001, terrorists
simultaneously attacked targets in New
York, NY, and Washington, DC, using
large commercial aircraft as weapons. In
response to the attacks and intelligence
information subsequently obtained, the
Commission issued a number of
Safeguards and Threat Advisories to its
licensees, to strengthen licensees’
capabilities and readiness to respond to
a potential attack on a nuclear facility.
On October 16, 2002, the Commission
issued Orders to the licensees of
operating ISFSIs, to place the actions
taken in response to the Advisories into
the established regulatory framework
and to implement additional security
enhancements that emerged from NRC’s
ongoing comprehensive review. The
Commission has also communicated
with other Federal, State, and local
government agencies and industry
representatives to discuss and evaluate
the current threat environment in order
to assess the adequacy of security
measures at licensed facilities. In
addition, the Commission has
conducted a comprehensive review of
its safeguards and security programs
and requirements.
As a result of its consideration of
current safeguards and security
requirements, as well as a review of
information provided by the intelligence
community, the Commission has
determined that certain additional
security measures (ASMs) are required
to address the current threat
environment, in a consistent manner
throughout the nuclear ISFSI
community. Therefore, the Commission
is imposing requirements, as set forth in
Attachments 1 and 2 of this Order, on
all licensees of these facilities. These
requirements, which supplement
existing regulatory requirements, will
provide the Commission with
reasonable assurance that the public
health and safety and common defense
and security continue to be adequately
protected in the current threat
environment. These requirements will
remain in effect until the Commission
determines otherwise.
The Commission recognizes that
Exelon may have already initiated many
of the measures set forth in Attachments
1 and 2 to this Order, in response to
previously issued advisories, or on their
own. It also recognizes that some
measures may not be possible nor
necessary at some sites, or may need to
