Dear Mr. Crane:
By letters to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated May 17, 2006, and October 13, 2006, AmerGen Energy Company, LLC (AmerGen or the licensee) submitted its revised plans and confirmed the full implementation at the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (Oyster Creek) of Order EA-06-037 regarding an updated adversary characteristic in the design basis threat.
The NRC staff has completed its review of the changes related to implementation of Order EA-06-037. As discussed in the enclosed safeguards evaluation (Enclosure 2), the NRC staff has determined that the licensees changes to the security plans meet the requirements of the NRC Order and Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 73 requirements and are, therefore, acceptable. The effectiveness of these security provisions will continue to be the subject of NRC review and inspection.
Consistent with the Order, a conforming administrative change to the Facility Operating License is required to ensure implementation of Order EA-06-037 requirements.
