Plants 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Plants.’’ This document would provide 

guidance for NRC staff to ensure clear 

and consistent reviews of a licensee’s 

request for licensing actions and 

amendments, the use of alternative 

measures, and requests for exemption 

from security regulations for nuclear 

power reactors after permanent 

cessation of plant operations. 

DATES: Submit comments by January 8, 

2015. Comments received after this date 

will be considered if it is practical to do 

so, but the Commission is able to ensure 

consideration only for comments 

received on or before this date.

II. Background 

Currently, the power reactor physical 

security requirements in Part 73 of Title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(10 CFR) and the NRC security orders 

that apply to licensees of operating 

nuclear power reactors also apply to 

decommissioning power reactor 

licensees, since the 10 CFR part 50 

license is retained after permanent 

cessation of operations and removal of 

fuel from the reactor vessel. The NRC 

recognizes that licensees that have 

permanently ceased operations and 

have no fuel in the reactor vessel 

present a significantly reduced risk to 

public health and safety than operating 

reactors. Because of the lower 

comparative risk from a 

decommissioning power reactor, 

licensees typically make a case for 

exemptions on the basis that the 

application of a specific regulation in 

the particular circumstance of 

decommissioning plants is not 

necessary to achieve the underlying 

purpose of the regulations and orders. 

Licensees have historically used the 

NRC’s existing license amendment and 

exemption processes to propose tailored 

security requirements for site-specific 

conditions at a decommissioning 

facility. Licensees must follow the 

process outlined in 10 CFR 73.5 when 

applying for exemptions from security 

regulations. 

This draft ISG would provide 

guidance to NRC staff in processing 

exemption requests and license 

amendments from the security 

requirements for nuclear power reactors 

that are undergoing the process of 

decommissioning. Use of this draft ISG 

would result in consistent and timely 

reviews of requests for exemption from

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 231 / Tuesday, December 2, 2014 / Notices 71459 

certain security regulations. Annex 1, as 

noted in the description of Table 1 of 

this draft ISG, ‘‘Physical Security 

Licensing Actions for Decommissioning 

Nuclear Power Facilities,’’ is a 

standalone Safeguards document. 

Annex 1 is an internal cross reference 

document containing site-specific 

security information regarding previous 

licensing actions for licensees 

undergoing decommissioning. This 

document will not be published or 

otherwise made available for comment. 

The NRC staff is requesting public 

comment on the draft ISG. After the 

NRC considers any public comments, it 

will issue a Federal Register notice 

making a determination regarding a 

final ISG. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 19th day 

of November, 2014. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Division of Security Policy, Office 

of Nuclear Security and Incident Response.
