SUBJECT: ISSUANCE OF ORDERS FOR INTERIM SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY

COMPENSATORY MEASURES AND FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF

ADDITIONAL SECURITY MEASURES ASSOCIATED WITH ACCESS

AUTHORIZATION FOR ST. LUCIE NUCLEAR PLANT INDEPENDENT SPENT

FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION

Dear Mr. Stall:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) has issued the enclosed

Orders (Enclosures 1 and 3) which modify the general license for your independent

spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI), to require compliance with the specified: interim

compensatory measures (ICMs) for security and safeguards (Enclosure 2)(Attachment 1 to

Enclosure1); and additional security measures (ASMs) associated with access authorization

(Enclosure 4)(Attachment 1 to Enclosure 3). Enclosure 5 is an NRC Regulatory Information

Summary regarding the NRC Threat Advisory and Protective Measures System for ISFSIs. 

Enclosures 2, 4, and 5 contain Safeguards Information (SGI). 

The Commission has determined that additional security measures are required, since the

events of September 11, 2001, and has concluded that the security measures should be

embodied in Orders, consistent with the established regulatory framework. The requirements

of the enclosed Orders must be in place before first receipt of spent fuel and initial operations at

your ISFSI.

NOTICE: Upon removal of Enclosures 2, 4, and 5 to the

Letter, this document and the enclosed Orders (Enclosures

1 and 3) are DECONTROLLED.

WARNING: Violation of Section 147 of

the Atomic Energy Act, "Safeguards

Information," is subject to Civil and

Criminal Penalties.

SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION

The Orders do not obviate the need for licensees to continue to meet and maintain the

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

2001. The requirements will remain in effect until the Commission determines otherwise.

The enclosed Orders call for responses and actions within specified time frames. With respect

to the notices and submission required by Sections III.B and III.C of the Orders, for any

requirement of the ICMs or ASMs (SGI attachments to the Orders) that requires an analysis or

is contingent on completion of another requirement of the ICMs or ASMs, it will be a sufficient

response if the licensee states in its 20-day submission:

(1) That completion of the requirement depends on completion of an analysis or other

requirement;

(2) The expected date of completion of the analysis or other requirement; and,

(3) That on such completion, the licensee will promptly submit the results of such analysis, or

inform NRC of the completion of the other requirement and the actions thereafter

proposed, with respect to the requirement at issue, as well as the projected date of

completion.

If Florida Power and Light Company wishes to preserve its right to request a hearing on any

requirement, contingent on completion of an analysis or other requirement, a request for an

extension of time to request a hearing must be filed within 20 days of the date of these Orders,

in accordance with Section IV of the Orders. Such a request may seek a reasonable period of

time to request a hearing beyond the date that the staff informs the licensee whether the

actions proposed and completion date for the requirement(s), contingent on an analysis or

other requirement, are satisfactory.

Please note that letters of response to Sections III.B and III.C of the Orders should be

addressed to the ATTN: Document Control Desk, Director, Spent Fuel Project Office, Office of

Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards. Answers to the Orders should be addressed to the

Secretary, Office of the Secretary of the Commission, as stated in Section IV of the Orders.

Please contact Paul J. Kelley, Jr., at 301-415-6101, for the ICM Order, or Bradley Baxter, at 

301-415-6742, for the ASM Order, in the Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response; or

Christopher M. Regan, at 301-415-1179, of my staff, to facilitate resolution of any issues related

to compliance with the requirements in the enclosed Orders, or to facilitate answers to any

other questions you may have. The enclosed Orders have been forwarded to the Office of the

Federal Register, for publication.
