Dear Mr. Minahan:
By letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated May 17, 2006, Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD, or the licensee), submitted its revised plans and confirmed the full implementation of Order EA-06-037 at Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) 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 NPPD's changes to the 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.
DPR-46 is being made to incorporate the reference to the revised Physical Security Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan, and Training and Qualification Plan. The change complies 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.
NOTICE: Enclosure 2 contains Security-Related Information. Upon separation from Enclosure 2, this letter and Enclosure 1 are DECONTROLLED.
