Dear Mr. Venable:

By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated May 1 6, 2006, Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy, the licensee), submitted revisions to its security plans at River Bend Station, Unit 1 (RBS). Entergy reported security plans changes required by Order EA-06-037 and confirmed the full implementation of Order EA-06-037 regarding an update to an 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 licensee's changes to the security plans, as described in its letter dated May 16, 2006, 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, a conforming administrative change to the Facility Operating License is required to ensure implementation of the Order EA-06-037 requirements.

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