nctions discussed above. The NRC staff recognizes that these prior approvals have addressed only a limited number of staffing scenarios that could be encountered at a decommissioning reactor, and have generally been for a single unit plant with one SFP.1 As such, adequate staffing levels are expected to vary based on (1) the number of reactor units that are permanently shut down on site; (2) if any operating reactor units are on site; (3) how many active SFPs are on site; (4) whether and when all spent fuel has been relocated to an ISFSI; and/or (5) the organizational structure approved in the license. As noted in 10 CFR 50.51(b)(2), the licensee shall conduct its activities in accordance with its license. In some instances, the licensee might wish to submit a license amendment request to set appropriate staffing levels that meet 10 CFR 50.51(b). 8.8 Changes to Emergency Planning, Physical Security, and Quality Assurance Requirements The NRC does not require or expect details in the PSDAR on the radiation protection plan, the emergency plan, the security plan, or the quality assurance plan related to decommissioning; however, this information may be required in periodic updates to the FSAR, the QAP, the emergency plan, or other documents applicable to decommissioning. In addition, several of these areas undergo significant changes throughout the decommissioning process and may be captured under different regulatory processes such as license amendments or exemptions. 1 On August 1, 2014, the NRC approved the Safe Storage Shift Manager/Certified Fuel Handler Training Program for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13268A165). DG-1347 Revision 1, Page 24 9. Changes to the PSDAR The regulation at 10 CFR 50.82(a)(7) or 10 CFR 52.110(g), as appropriate, requires the licensee to notify the NRC, in writing with a copy to the affected States, before it performs any decommissioning activity that could be considered inconsistent
