All Power Reactor Licensees and Applicants

Gentlemen:

This letter and enclosed NUREG 0219, Draft 2 are being sent to all licensees
authorized to operate a nuclear power reactor and to all applicants with
applications for a license to operate or construct a power reactor.

NUREG 0219 outlines the current position of the NRR staff on implementation of
the requirement to upgrade the qualification, training and equipping of
security personnel.  Since this draft, I would appreciate your comments by May
19, 1978 so that actual plant operating experience with security personnel can
be factored into the final document.

                                      Sincerely,

                                      James R. Miller, Assistant Director
                                        for Reactor Safeguards
                                      Division of Operating Reactors

Enclosure: 
NUREG 0219
