Dear Mr. St. Pierre:

By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated May 18, 2006, FPL Energy Seabrook, LLC (FPLE or the licensee) submitted its revised plans and confirmed the full implementation at the Seabrook Station, Unit No. 1 (Seabrook) 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.

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

G. St. Pierre Therefore, an administrative license change to Facility Operating License No. NPF-86 is being made to incorporate the reference to the revised Physical Security Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan, and Training and Qualification Plan required by the Order. 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 your Facility Operating License (Enclosure 1).

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-2481.

Sincerely,
