OFFICIAL USE ONLY - SECURITY-RELATED INFORMATION May 30, 2007 Mr. H. L. Sumner Vice President - Farley Project Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc.

P.O. Box 1295 Birmingham, AL 35201-1295

SUBJECT:

JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT (FNP), UNITS 1 AND 2 -

ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NOS.

NPF-2 AND NPF-8 IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COMMISSION ORDER EA-06-037 AND REVISIONS TO PHYSICAL SECURITY PLAN, TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION PLAN, AND SAFEGUARDS CONTINGENCY PLAN (TAC NOS. MD2224 AND MD2225)

Dear Mr. Sumner:

By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated May 15, 2006, Southern Nuclear Company (SNC), submitted its revised plans and confirmed the full implementation at FNP of Order EA-06-037 regarding an updated adversary characteristic of the design basis threat (DBT).

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 SNCs changes to the security plans meet the requirements of the NRC Order and Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulation (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, an administrative license change is being made to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-2 and NPF-8 to incorporate the reference to the revised Physical Security Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan, and Training and Qualification Plan. These changes comply with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the Commission's rules and regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I. Please replace Page 5 of the FNP Facility Operating Licenses NPF-2 and NPF-8 with the enclosed pages (Enclosure 1). Enclosure 2 to this letter is designated exempt from public disclosure under 10 CFR 2.390(d)(l).

NOTICE: Enclosure 2 contains Security-Related Information. Upon separation from Enclosure 2, this letter and Enclosure 1 are DECONTROLLED.

D.

E. Deleted per Amendment 144 F. Alabama Power Company shall meet the following antitrust conditions:

(1) Alabama Power Company shall recognize and accord to Alabama Electric Cooperative (AEC) the status of a competing electric utility in central and southern Alabama.

(2) Alabama Power Company shall offer to sell to AEC an undivided ownership interest in Units 1 and 2 of the Farley Nuclear Plant. The percentage of ownership interest to be so offered shall be an amount based on the relative sizes of the respective peak loads of AEC and Alabama Power Company (excluding from the Alabama Power Company's peak load that amount imposed by members of AEC upon the electric system of Alabama Power Company) occurring in 1976. The price to be paid by AEC for its proportionate share of Units 1 and 2, determined in accordance with the foregoing formula, will be established by the parties through good faith negotiations. The price shall be sufficient to fairly reimburse Alabama Power Company for the proportionate share of its total costs related to the Units 1 and 2 including, but not limited to, all costs of construction, installation, ownership and licensing, as of a date, to be agreed to by the two parties, which fairly accommodates both their respective interests. The offer by Alabama Power Company to sell an undivided ownership interest in Units 1 and 2 may be conditioned, at Alabama Power Company's option, on the agreement by AEC to waive any right of partition of the Farley Plant and to avoid interference in the day-to-day operation of the plant.
