NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
 

Proposed Generic Communication; Information on NRC/Licensee 
Safeguards Meeting/Workshop on Revisions to 10 CFR Part 73 To Protect 
Against Malevolent Use of Vehicles at Nuclear Power Plants

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On June 30, 1994, the Commission approved a final rule 
revising 10 CFR Part 73 associated with protection against malevolent 
use of vehicles at nuclear power plants. The rule change modifies the 
design basis threat for radiological sabotage to include use of a land 
vehicle. The rule change also requires vehicle control measures, 
including vehicle barrier systems, to protect against the malevolent 
use of a land vehicle. The vehicle barrier system design requires that 
the system stop the forward motion of the design basis vehicle.

    As part of the implementation of this rule change, the NRC staff is 
publishing Regulatory Guide 5.68, ``Protection Against Malevolent Use 
of Vehicles at Nuclear Power Plants,'' and NUREG/CR-6190, ``Protection 
Against Malevolent Use of Vehicles at Nuclear Power Plants,'' Volumes 1 
and 2. These documents were specifically developed to provide guidance 
acceptable to the NRC staff by which a licensee can meet the 
requirements of the revised 10 CFR Part 73. The Office of Nuclear 
Reactor Regulation will conduct one-day technical workshops in each of 
the NRC Regional offices to discuss Regulatory Guide 5.68 and NUREG/CR-
6190, Volumes 1 and 2, and address implementation of the rule change.

DATE AND LOCATION: The NRC Region I meeting will be held on August 18, 
1994, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the regional office located at 475 
Allendale Road, King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
    The NRC Region II meeting will be held on August 9, 1994, from 8:30 
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the regional office located at 101 Marietta 
Street, Suite 2900, Atlanta, Georgia.
    The NRC Region III meeting will be held on August 16, 1994, from 
8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the regional office located at 801 
Warrenville Road, Lisle, Illinois.
    The NRC Region IV meeting will be held on August 11, 1994, from 
8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the regional office located at 611 Ryan Plaza 
Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas.

DIRECT QUESTIONS TO: Robert J. Dube, United States Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, Washington, DC 20555, 
Telephone (301) 504-2912.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting between the NRC technical staff 
and licensees is closed to members of the public or other parties due 
to the fact that Safeguards Information will be discussed. An 
unclassified summary of the meeting will be prepared and will be 
available upon request.
    The regional conference rooms can accommodate up to three 
representatives from each facility. It is requested that each licensee 
planning to send representatives to the workshop provide the names of 
the attendees to Elaine Koup at (301) 504-2932 or Catherine Berney at 
(301) 504-2933 by August 8, 1994. If a licensee desires to send more 
than three representatives, they may contact Ms. Koup after August 4 
for additional spaces, if available.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 21st day of July 1994.
Douglas V. Pickett,
Acting Director, Project Directorate III-3, Division of Reactor 
Projects--III/IV, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulations.
