Holders of Licenses for Operating

Power Reactors as listed in 

Enclosure 2

SUBJECT: ISSUANCE OF ORDER FOR COMPENSATORY MEASURES RELATED TO

FITNESS-FOR-DUTY ENHANCEMENTS APPLICABLE TO NUCLEAR

FACILITY SECURITY FORCE PERSONNEL

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued the enclosed Order that modifies

the current license for your facility to require compliance with the specified compensatory

measures (CMs). The Order applies to all Addressees listed in Enclosure 2 (Attachment 1 to

the enclosed Order). The CMs are listed in Enclosure 3 (Attachment 2 to the enclosed Order). 

The Commission recognizes that you have voluntarily and responsibly implemented additional

security measures following the events of September 11, 2001. However, work hour demands

on security force personnel have increased substantially over the past 18 months, and the

current terrorist threat environment continues to require heightened security measures. 

Therefore, the Commission has determined that the security measures addressed by the

enclosed CMs should be implemented by licensees as prudent measures to address issues that

may arise from fatigue of nuclear facility security force personnel. The Commission has

determined that the enclosed Order should be effective immediately.

This Order does not obviate the need for licensees to continue to meet the objectives of the

current security protective measures level described in NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2002-

12A, “Power Reactors NRC Threat Advisory and Protective Measures System,” as promulgated

by updated security advisories. Licensees must also continue to maintain the effectiveness of

existing security measures taken in response to the events of September 11, 2001, and the

Order issued on February 25, 2002. The requirements will remain in effect until the

Commission determines otherwise. 

The enclosed Order requires responses and actions within specified time frames. Please

contact your Licensing Project Manager to facilitate resolution of any issues related to

compliance with the requirements in the enclosed Order, or if you have any other questions.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

In the Matter of )

) Docket Nos. (as shown in Attachment 1)

ALL OPERATING POWER REACTOR ) License Nos. (as shown in Attachment 1)

LICENSEES ) EA-03-038

ORDER MODIFYING LICENSES

(EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY)

I.

The licensees identified in Attachment 1 to this Order hold licenses issued by the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) authorizing operation of nuclear power

plants in accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and Title 10 of the Code of Federal

Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50. Commission regulations at 10 CFR 50.54(p)(1) require these

licensees to maintain safeguards contingency plan procedures in accordance with 10 CFR Part

73, Appendix C. Specific safeguards requirements for reactors are contained in 10 CFR 73.55.

II.

On September 11, 2001, terrorists simultaneously attacked targets in New York, N.Y.,

and Washington, D.C., utilizing 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 in order to strengthen licensees’

capabilities and readiness to respond to a potential attack on a nuclear facility. On
- 2 -

February 25, 2002, the Commission issued Orders to the licensees of operating power reactors

to put the actions taken in response to the Advisories in the established regulatory framework

and to implement additional security enhancements which emerged from the NRC’s ongoing

comprehensive security review.

Work hour demands on nuclear facility security force personnel have increased

substantially since the September 11, 2001 attacks and the current threat environment

continues to require heightened security measures. The Commission has determined that the

security measures addressed by the enclosed compensatory measures are required to be

implemented by licensees as prudent measures to address issues that may arise from workhour related fatigue of nuclear facility security force personnel. Therefore, the Commission is

imposing requirements, as set forth in Attachment 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. These requirements will remain in

effect until the Commission determines otherwise. 

In order to provide assurance that licensees are implementing prudent measures to

achieve a consistent level of protection, all licenses identified in Attachment 1 to this Order shall

be modified to include the requirements identified in Attachment 2 to this Order. In addition,

pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202, the NRC finds that in the circumstances described above, the public

health, safety and interest require that this Order be immediately effective.

III.

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 103, 104, 161b, 161i, 161o, 182 and 186 of the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the Commission's regulations in 10 CFR 2.202 
- 3 -

and 10 CFR Parts 50 and 73, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, THAT

ALL LICENSES IDENTIFIED IN ATTACHMENT 1 TO THIS ORDER ARE MODIFIED AS

FOLLOWS: 

A. All Licensees shall, notwithstanding the provisions of any Commission regulation or

license to the contrary, comply with the requirements described in Attachment 2 to this

Order except to the extent that a more stringent requirement is set forth in the

Licensees’ security plans. The Licensees shall immediately start implementation of the

requirements in Attachment 2 to the Order and shall complete implementation no later

than October 29, 2003.

B. 1. All Licensees shall, within thirty-five (35) days of the date of this Order, notify

the Commission, (1) if they are unable to comply with any of the requirements

described in Attachment 2, (2) if compliance with any of the requirements is

unnecessary in their specific circumstances, or (3) if implementation of any of the

requirements would cause the Licensee to be in violation of the provisions of any

Commission regulation or the facility license. The notification shall provide the

Licensee’s justification for seeking relief from or variation of any specific

requirement. 

2. Any Licensee that considers that implementation of any of the requirements

described in Attachment 2 to this Order would adversely impact safe operation of

the facility must notify the Commission, within thirty-five (35) days of this Order,

of the adverse safety impact, the basis for its determination that the requirement

has an adverse safety impact, and either a proposal for achieving the same

objectives specified in the Attachment 2 requirement in question, or a schedule

for modifying the facility to address the adverse safety condition. If neither 
- 4 -

approach is appropriate, the Licensee must supplement its response to

Condition B.1 of this Order to identify the condition as a requirement with which it

cannot comply, with attendant justifications as required in Condition B.1. 

C. 1. All Licensees shall, within thirty-five (35) days of the date of this Order, submit

to the Commission, a schedule for achieving compliance with each requirement

described in Attachment 2. 

2. All Licensees shall report to the Commission when they have achieved full

compliance with the requirements described in Attachment 2.

D. Notwithstanding the provisions of 10 CFR 50.54(p), all measures implemented or

actions taken in response to this Order shall be maintained until the Commission

determines otherwise.

Licensees’ responses to Conditions B.1, B.2, C.1, and C.2 above, shall be submitted in

accordance with 10 CFR 50.4. In addition, Licensees’ submittals that contain Safeguards

Information shall be properly marked and handled in accordance with 10 CFR 73.21.

The Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation may, by letter, relax or rescind any of

the above conditions upon demonstration by the Licensee of good cause. 

IV.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.202, the Licensee must, and any other person adversely

affected by this Order may, submit an answer to this Order, and may request a hearing on this

Order, within thirty-five (35) days of the date of this Order. Where good cause is shown,

consideration will be given to extending the time to request a hearing. A request for extension

of time in which to submit an answer or request a hearing must be made in writing to the 
- 5 -

Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555, and include a statement of good cause for the extension. The answer

may consent to this Order. Unless the answer consents to this Order, the answer shall, in

writing and under oath or affirmation, specifically set forth the matters of fact and law on which

the Licensee or other person adversely affected relies and the reasons as to why the Order

should not have been issued. Any answer or request for a hearing shall be submitted to the

Secretary, Office of the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

ATTN: Rulemakings and Adjudications Staff, Washington, DC 20555. Copies also shall be

sent to the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington, DC 20555; to the Assistant General Counsel for Materials Litigation

and Enforcement at the same address; to the Regional Administrator for NRC Region I, II, III, or

IV, as appropriate for the specific facility; and to the Licensee if the answer or hearing request is

by a person other than the Licensee. Because of possible disruptions in delivery of mail to

United States Government offices, it is requested that answers and requests for hearing be

transmitted to the Secretary of the Commission either by means of facsimile transmission to

301-415-1101 or by e-mail to hearingdocket@nrc.gov and also to the Office of the General

Counsel either by means of facsimile transmission to 301-415-3725 or by e-mail to

OGCMailCenter@nrc.gov. If a person other than the licensee requests a hearing, that person

shall set forth with particularity the manner in which his interest is adversely affected by this

Order and shall address the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 2.714(d).
- 6 -

If a hearing is requested by the Licensee or a person whose interest is adversely affected, the

Commission will issue an Order designating the time and place of any hearing. If a hearing is held,

the issue to be considered at such hearing shall be whether this Order should be sustained. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202(c)(2)(i), the Licensee may, in addition to demanding a hearing, at

the time the answer is filed or sooner, move the presiding officer to set aside the immediate

effectiveness of the Order on the ground that the Order, including the need for immediate

effectiveness, is not based on adequate evidence but on mere suspicion, unfounded allegations, or

error.

In the absence of any request for hearing, or written approval of an extension of time in which

to request a hearing, the provisions specified in Section III above shall be final thirty-five (35) days

from the date of this Order without further order or proceedings. If an extension of time for requesting

a hearing has been approved, the provisions specified in Section III shall be final when the extension

expires if a hearing request has not been received. AN ANSWER OR A REQUEST FOR HEARING

SHALL NOT STAY THE IMMEDIATE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS ORDER.

Compensatory Measures

A. Background:

These compensatory measures (CMs) are established to delineate licensee responsibility

in response to the threat environment presently in existence in the aftermath of the events

of September 11, 2001. Excessive work schedules can challenge the ability of security

force personnel to remain vigilant and effectively perform their duties.

B. Scope:

Operating nuclear power reactor licensees shall comply with the following CMs to ensure,

in part, that nuclear facility security force personnel are not assigned to duty while in a

fatigued condition that could reduce their alertness or ability to perform functions necessary

to identify and promptly respond to plant security threats. Work hour controls shall apply

to personnel performing the following functions: armed member of the security force,

central alarm station operator, secondary alarm station operator, security shift supervisor,

and watchperson (i.e., watchman). 

C. Compensatory Measures:

1. Individual Work Hour Controls 

(a) Personnel performing the functions identified in B:

(1) Shall not exceed the following limits, excluding shift turnover time:

(i) 16 hours in any 24-hour period,

(ii) 26 hours in any 48-hour period, and

(iii) 72 hours in any 7-day period.

(2) Shall have a minimum 10-hour break between work periods. The participation in

turnover is permitted during the break period.

(3) May be authorized, by the licensee, to deviate from the limits specified in C.1(a)(1)

and/or C.1(a)(2) provided:

(i) The licensee could not have reasonably foreseen or controlled the circumstance

necessitating the deviation,

(ii) The security shift supervisor has determined that the deviation is required to

maintain the security for the facility,

(iii) An evaluation is performed, in advance, by individuals with training, as provided

by the licensee, in the symptoms, contributing factors, and effects of fatigue that

determined that the individual’s fitness for duty would not be 
- 2 -

adversely affected by the additional work period to be authorized under the deviation,

and

(iv) The basis and approval for C.1(a)(3) items (i), (ii), and (iii) are documented.

Note 1: An 8-hour break may be authorized as deviation from the 10-hour

requirement of C.1(a)(2) if the deviation is required for a scheduled transition

of crews between work schedules or shifts.

(b) The number and duration of approved deviations shall be reviewed by the Security

Manager and limited to the extent practicable. 

(c) The licensee shall monitor and control individual work hours to ensure that excessive

work hours are not compromising worker alertness and performance. 

2. Group Work Hour Controls

Group average work hours for personnel performing the functions identified in B shall

be controlled in accordance with the following limits: 

(a) Normal Plant Conditions: The average number of hours actually worked by

personnel performing the functions identified in B, shall not exceed 48 hours per week

averaged over consecutive periods not to exceed six (6) weeks. Workers who did not

work at least 75 percent of the normally scheduled hours during the averaging period

shall not be included when calculating the average. If the group average limit is

exceeded, the licensee shall take prompt action to reduce the average hours worked

in accordance with this compensatory measure and take actions to prevent recurrence.

(b) Planned Plant or Planned Security System Outages:

(1) The average number of hours actually worked by personnel performing the functions

identified in B, shall not exceed 60 hours per week averaged over consecutive periods

not to exceed six (6) weeks. For planned abnormal plant conditions whose duration is

less then the averaging period the limit would be 60 hours per week averaged over the

duration of the condition. Workers who did not work at least 75 percent of the normally

scheduled hours during the averaging period shall not be included when calculating the

average. If the group average limit is exceeded, the licensee shall take prompt action

to reduce the average hours worked in accordance with this compensatory measure

and take actions to prevent recurrence.

Note 2: Licensee may define the beginning of a planned plant outage to be up

to 3 weeks prior to the plant shutdown (i.e., plant operational mode not equal

to 1).
- 3 -

(2) The limit defined in C.2(b)(1) can be used for up to 90 days. For periods greater

than 90 days, the licensee shall take prompt action to limit hours worked in accordance

with the requirements of C.2(a). The use of the limits defined in C.2(b)(1) shall not

exceed 120 days.

(c) Unplanned Plant or Unplanned Security Outages or An Increase in Plant Threat

 Condition (i.e., increase in protective measure level as promulgated by NRC 

 Advisory): 

(1) There are no specific group limits for this condition.

(2) For periods greater than 90 days, the licensee shall take prompt action to limit hours

worked in accordance with the requirements of C.2(a). The use of the allowance

defined in C.2(c)(1) shall not exceed 120 days. 

Note 3: For the purposes of these CMs, the baseline threat condition is

defined as the least significant threat condition in effect in the last 120 days.

Note 4: If an increase in threat condition occurs while the plant is in a planned

outage, the requirements of C.2(c) apply for the increased threat condition. If

the threat condition returns to the baseline threat condition during the planned

outage, the requirements of C.2(b) apply using the original licensee defined

start date for the planned outage.

Note 5: If multiple increases in threat condition occur while the conditions of

C.2(c) are in effect, the requirements of C.2(c)(2) reset with each increase.

Note 6: If the threat condition decreases, the new threat condition shall be

compared to the baseline to determine if the requirements of C.2(c) apply as a

result of an increased threat condition. If so, C.2(c)(2) shall be referenced to

the date when the current threat condition was last entered as the result of an

increase.

Note 7: Licensees shall reference changes in threat condition prior to the

issuance of these CMs to determine the baseline threat condition and whether

the requirements of C.2(c) apply.

3. Licensees shall be exempt from the requirements of C.1 and C.2 during declared

emergencies as defined in the licensee’s emergency plan.

4. Procedures 

Develop or augment procedures, as necessary, for personnel within the scope of this

CM to:

(a) Describe the process for implementing the controls for hours worked specified in

C.1, C.2, and C.3 of this CM.

(b) Describe the process to be followed if an individual reports prior to or during a duty

period that he or she considers himself or herself unfit for duty due to fatigue.

(c) Document self-declarations of unfit for duty due to fatigue if upon completion of the

licensee’s evaluation it is determined the individual should be returned to work without

a break of at least 10 hours.
