COLUMBIA GENERATING STATION - ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COMMISSION ORDER EA-06-037 AND REVISIONS TO PHYSICAL SECURITY PLAN, TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION PLAN, AND SAFEGUARDS CONTINGENCY PLAN (TAC NO. MD221 1)
Dear Mr. Parrish:
By letter to the-Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated May 18, 2006, Energy Northwest (the licensee), submitted its revised security plans and confirmed the full implementation of Order EA-06-037 at Columbia Generating Station (Columbia). Order EA-06-037 regarded an updated adversary characteristic in 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 the licensee's 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 Renewed Facility Operating Licenses 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.
