Dear Mr. Sheppard:
By letters to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated May 17 and 18, 2006, STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) submitted its revised security plans and confirmed the full implementation: at the South Teaxs Project (STP), Units 1 and 2; 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 STPNOC's changes to the STP 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, administrative license changes to Facility Operating License Nos.
NPF-76, and NPF-80 are 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 1. Please replace page 8 of the STP, Unit 1, and page 7 of STP, Unit 2; Facility Operating Licenses NPF-76 and NPF-80, respectively, with the enclosed pages (Enclosure 1). Enclosure 2 to this letter is designated as exempt from public disclosure, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1).
