Order EA-06-037 provided an update to an 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.

Consistent with the Order, administrative license changes to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-24 and DPR-27 are being made to incorporate the reference to the revised Physical Security Plan, Safeguards Contingency Plan, and Training and Qualification Plan.
