SUBJECT:

Beaver Valley Power Stration, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 BV-1 Docket No. 50-334, License No. DPR46 BV-z Docket No. 50,412, License No. NPF-73 S_uEplement to Rquest for Licensinq Action to Revise the Emeroency Plan (9AQ Nqp. MF&{aB AND MFBaa9)

By conespondence dated September 28, 2016 (Accession No. ML16277A194), as supplemented by conespondence dated May 10, 2017 (Accession No. ML1714A4Ul FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC) submitted a request to revise the cunent Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 (BVPS) Emergency Plan emergency action level scheme to one based on Nuclear Energy lnstitute (NEl) 99-01, "Development of Emergency Action Levels for Non-Passive Reac'tors,' Revision 6.

After consultation with officials from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania FENOC has determined not to pursue the Emergency Action Level (EAL) change recommended in EPFAQ 2015-013. Therefore, FENOC has revised the original license amendment request contained in the September 28, 2016 letter, to include the lnitiating Condition HGl. As a result, the Emergency Action Level (EAL) Bases Document has been revised to incorporate HGl into the security related EALs. Enclosure A provides the marked-up security-related EAL Bases Document, Enclosure B provides the resulting clean pages associated with the security F.ALs, and Enclosure C provides an EAL Comparison Matrix for HGl.

The infonnation contained in this supplement does not impact the conclusions of the significant hazards consideration determination or environmental consklerations of the original reguest provided in Enclosure A of FENOC letter dated September 28, 2016 (Accession No. ML1 6277A1 g4).

Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and Z L-17-275 Page 2 There are no regylatory commitments contained in this letter. lf there are any questions or if additional information isrequired, ptease contact Mr. Thomas A. Lentz, Manager-Fleet Licensing, at 330-761-8071.

I declare under penatty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on September 7, ZO1T.

HUl.1 HUl.1 Unusual Event A SECURITY CONDITION that does not involve a HOSTILE ACTION as reported by the Secu rity Shift Supervisor Mode Applicability:

Ail Basis:

This lC addresses events that pose a threat to plant personnel or SAFETY SYSTEM equipment, and thus represent a potential degradation in the Nevel of plant safety. Security events which do not meet one of these EALs are adequately addressed by the requirements of 10 CFR $ 73.71 or 10 CFR $ 50.72. Security events assessed as HOSTILE ACTIONS are classifiable under lCs HA1"f;+-HS1, and.HGl.

Timely and accurate communications between Security Shift Supervision and the Control Room is essential for proper classification of a security-related event. Classification of these events will initiate appropriate threat-related notifications to plant personnel and Offsite Response Organizatio ns.

Security plans and terminology are based on the guidance provided by NEI 03-12, Template for the Seeurity Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan.

This EAL references the Shift Security Supervisor because these are the individuals trained to confirm that a security event is occurring or has occurred. Training on security event confirmation and classification is controlled due to the nature of Safeguards and 10 CFR $

2.39 information.

Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents; therefore, EALs should not incorporate Security-sensitive information. This includes information that may be advantageous to a potential adversary, such as the particulars concerning a specific threat or threat Iocation, Security-sensitive information should be contained in non-public documents such as the BVPS Physical Security Plan/Contingency Plan (ref. 1).

Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via lC HA1.

Ail Basis:

This lC addresses the occurrence of a HOSTILE ACTION within the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA or notification of an aircraft attack threat. This event will require rapid response and assistance due to the possibility of the attack progressing to the PROTECTED AREA, or the need to prepare the plant and staff for a potential aircraft impact.

Timely and accurate communications between the Security Shift Supervisor and the Control Room is essential for proper classification of a security-related event.

Security plans and terminology are based on the guidance provided by NEI 03-12, Template for the Security Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan.

As time and conditions allow, these events require a heightened state of readiness by the plant staff and implementation of onsite protective measures (e.9., evacuation, dispersa! or sheltering). The Alert declaration will also heighten the awareness of Offsite Response Organizations (OROs), allowing them to be better prepared should it be necessary to consider further actions.

This lC does not apply to incidents that are accidental events, acts of civil disobedience, or otherwise are not a HOSTILE ACTION perpetrated by a HOSTILE FORCE. Examples include the crash of a small aircraft, shots from hunters, physical disputes between employees, etc.

Reporting of these types of events is adequately addressed by other EALs, or the requirements of 10 CFR $ 73.71 or 10 CFR $ 50,72.

This EAL is applicable for any HOSTILE ACTION occurring, or that has occurred, in the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA.

Unit 1 EAL Technical Bases HAl.2 ln some cases, it may not be readily apparent if an aircraft impact within the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA was intentional (i.e., a HOSTILE ACTION). lt is expected, although not certain, that notification by an appropriate Federal agency to the site would clarify this point. ln this case, the appropriate federal agency is intended to be NORAD, FBl, FAA or NRC. The emergency declaration, including one based on other lCs/EALs, should not be unduly delayed while awaiting notification by a Federal agency.

Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents; therefore, EALs should not incorporate Security-sensitive information.

Unit 2 EAL Tp.ghniqal,Bases HAl.2 The NRC Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO) will communicate to the licensee if the threat involves an aircraft. The status and size of the plane may be provided by NORAD through the NRC.

ln some cases, it may not be readily apparent if an aircraft impact within the OWNER CONTROLLED AREA was intentional (i.e., a HOSTILE ACTION). lt is expected, although not certain, that notification by an appropriate Federal agency to the site would clarify this point. ln this case, the appropriate federal agency is intended to be NORAD, FBl, FAA or NRC. The emergency declaration, including one based on other lCs/EALs, should not be unduly delayed while awaiting notification by a Federal agency.

Emergency plans and implementing procedures are public documents; therefore, EALs should not incorporate Security-sensitive information. This includes information that may be advantageous to a potential adversary, such as the particulars concerning a specific threat or threat location. Security-sensitive information should be contained in non-public documents such as the BVPS Physical Security Plan/Contingency Plan (ref. 1).

Escalation of the emergency classification level would be via HS1 Basis Heference(s):
