Installation Information

§ 75.11 Installation information.

(a) Each licensee subject to the provisions of this part shall submit installation information, in response to a written request from the Commission, with respect to any installation which the Commission indicates has been identified under the Agreement and in which the licensee carries out licensed activities. (The Commission request shall state whether the installation has been identified under Article 39(b) of the principal text of the Agreement or Article 2(a) of the Protocol.) The licensee shall submit such information to the Commission within the period, which shall be at least 45 days, specified in the Commission's request.

(b) Installation information includes: (1) The identification of the installation, stating its general character, purpose, nominal capacity (thermal power level, in the case of power reactors), and geographic location, and the name and address to be used for routine purposes;

(2) A description of the general arrangement of the installation with reference, to the extent feasible, to the form, location and flow of nuclear material, and to the general layout of important items of equipment which use, produce, or process nuclear material;

(3) A description of features of the installation relating to material accounting, containment, and surveillance; and

(4) A description of the existing and proposed procedures at the installation for nuclear material accounting and control, with special reference to material balance areas established by the licensee, measurement of flow, and procedures for physical inventory taking. (As part of this description, the licensee may identify a process step involving information which it deems to be commercially sensitive and for which it proposes that a special material balance area be established so as to restrict IAEA access to such information.)

(c) Each licensee shall thereafter submit to the Commission information with respect to any modification at the installation affecting the information referred to in paragraph (a) of this section. Such information shall be submitted:

(1) With respect to a modification of a type described in the license conditions: At least 70 days before the modification is scheduled to be completed, except that in an emergency or other unforeseen situation a shorter period may be approved by the Commission.

(2) With respect to any other modification relevant to the application of the provisions of the Agreement: At the time the first inventory change report is submitted after the modification is completed.

(d) The information specified in paragraphs (a) and (c) of this section shall be prepared on Form N-71 or other forms supplied by the Commission (including appropriate IAEA Design Information Questionnaire forms). The information shall be sufficiently detailed to enable knowledgeable determinations to be made in the development of Facility Attachments or amendments thereto, including:

(1) Identification of the features of installations and nuclear material relevant to the application of safeguards to nuclear material in sufficient detail to facilitate verification;

(2) Determination of IAEA material balance areas to be used for IAEA accounting purposes and selection of those strategic points which are key measurement points and which will be used to determine flow and inventory of nuclear material;

(3) Establishment of the nominal timing and procedures for taking of physical inventory of nuclear material for IAEA accounting purposes;

(4) Establishment of the records and reports requirements and records evaluation procedures;

(5) Establishment of requirements and procedures for verification of the quantity and location of nuclear material; and

(6) Selection of appropriate combinations of containment and surveillance methods and techniques at the strategic points at which they are to be applied.

(e) The licensee's detailed security measures for the physical protection of an installation shall be included in the installation information only when and to the extent specifically requested by the Commission.
