SUBJECT:
DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 2 AND 3 - 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 NOS. MD2221 AND MD2222)
Dear Mr. Crane:
By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated May 17, 2006, Exelon Generating Company, LLC (Exelon), submitted required security plan changes and confirmed full implementation of Order EA-06-037 regarding updated adversary characteristics for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station (DNPS) Units 2 and 3.
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 Exelon'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, administrative license changes to Facility Operating License Nos.
DPR-1 9 and 25 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 I.
Please replace Page 8 of Unit 2 and Page 5 of Unit 3 of the DNPS Facility Operating License with the enclosed pages (Enclosure 1). Enclosure 2 to this letter is designated as exempt from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1).
NOTICE: Enclosure 2 contains Security-Related Information. Upon separation from Enclosure 2, this letter and Enclosure 1 are DECONTROLLED.
