SUBJECT:

WOLF CREEK 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. MD2295)

Dear Mr. Muench:

By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated May 17, 2006, Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC) submitted its revised security plans and confirmed the full implementation at the Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) of Order EA-06-037 regarding an updated adversary characteristic of 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 WCNOC's changes to the WCGS security plans meet the requirements of the NRC Order and Title 10 of the Code of FederalRegulations (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 to Facility Operating License No.

NPF-42 is being made 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 6 of the WCGS Facility Operating License No. NPF-42 with the enclosed page (Enclosure 1).

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