SUBJECT:

ARKANSAS NUCLEAR ONE, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 - ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES 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. MD2192 AND MD2193)

Dear Mr. Forbes:

By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated May 4, 2006, Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) submitted its revised security plans and confirmed the full implementation of Order EA-06-037 regarding an update to an adversary characteristic in the design basis threat at Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (ANO-1 and ANO-2).

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 Entergy's changes to the security plan meet the requirements of the Order and Title 10 of the Code of FederalRegulations (10 CFR) Part 73 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, a conforming administrative change to the Renewed Facility Operating Licenses is required to ensure implementation of the Order EA-06-037 requirements.

Therefore, administrative license changes to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-51 and NPF-6 for ANO-1 and ANO-2, respectively, 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 A6t of 1954, as amended, and the Commission's rules and regulations set forth in 10 CFR Part 1.

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