SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.106, the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) 

is providing notice in the matter of 

Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Independent 

Spent Fuel Storage Installation Order 

Modifying License (Effective 

Immediately). 

II. Further Information 

I 

Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) has 

been issued a general license by the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC 

or the Commission) authorizing storage 

of spent fuel in an independent spent 

fuel storage installation (ISFSI) in 

accordance with the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, 10 CFR Part 50, and 10 CFR 

Part 72. This Order is being issued to 

Entergy who has identified near-term 

plans to store spent fuel in an ISFSI 

under the general license provisions of 

10 CFR Part 72. The Commission 

regulations at 10 CFR 72.212(b)(5) and 

10 CFR 73.55(h)(1) require Entergy to 

maintain safeguards contingency plan 

procedures in accordance with 10 CFR 

Part 73, Appendix C. Specific 

safeguards requirements are contained 

in 10 CFR 73.55. 

II 

On September 11, 2001, terrorists 

simultaneously attacked targets in New 

York, NY, and Washington, DC, 

utilizing large commercial aircraft as 

weapons. In response to the attacks and 

intelligence information subsequently 

obtained, the Commission issued a 

number of Safeguards and Threat 

Advisories to its licensees in order to 

strengthen licensees’ capabilities and 

readiness to respond to a potential 

attack on a nuclear facility. The 

Commission has also communicated 

with other Federal, State, and local 

government agencies and industry 

representatives to discuss and evaluate 

the current threat environment in order 

to assess the adequacy of security 

measures at licensed facilities. In 

addition, the Commission has been 

conducting a comprehensive review of 

its safeguards and security programs 

and requirements. 

As a result of its consideration of 

current safeguards and security plan 

requirements, as well as a review of 

information provided by the intelligence 

community and other governmental 

agencies, the Commission has 

determined that certain compensatory 

measures are required to be 

implemented by licensees as prudent, 

interim measures, to address the current 

threat environment in a consistent 

manner throughout the nuclear ISFSI 

community. Therefore, the Commission 

is imposing requirements, as set forth in 

Attachment 1 1 of this Order, on Entergy 

who has indicated near-term plans to 

store spent fuel in an ISFSI under the 

general license provisions of 10 CFR 

Part 72. These interim requirements, 

which supplement existing regulatory 

requirements, will provide the 

Commission with reasonable assurance 

that the public health and safety and 

common defense and security continue 

to be adequately protected in the current 

threat environment. These requirements 

will remain in effect until the 

Commission determines otherwise. 

The Commission recognizes that some 

measures may not be possible or 

necessary, or may need to be tailored to 

accommodate the specific 

circumstances existing at Entergy’s 

facility to achieve the intended 

objectives and avoid any unforeseen 

effect on the safe storage of spent fuel. 

In order to provide assurance that 

licensees are implementing prudent 

measures to achieve a consistent level of 

protection to address the current threat 

environment, the Commission 

concludes that security measures must 

be embodied in an Order consistent 

with the established regulatory 

framework. Entergy’s general license 

issued pursuant to 10 CFR 72.210 shall 

be modified to include the requirements 

identified in Attachment 1 to this Order. 

In addition, pursuant to 10 CFR 2.202, 

the Commission finds that in the 

circumstances described above, the 

public health, safety, and interest 

require that this Order be effective 

immediately. 

III 

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 

103, 104, 161b, 161i, 161o, 182, and 186 

of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 

amended, and the Commission’s 

regulations in 10 CFR 2.202 and 10 CFR 

parts 50, 72, and 73, it is hereby ordered, 

effective immediately, that your general 

license is modified as follows: 

A. Entergy shall, notwithstanding the 

provisions of any Commission 

regulation or license to the contrary, 

comply with the requirements described 

in Attachment 1 to this Order except to 

the extent that a more stringent 

requirement is set forth in their security 

plan. Entergy shall immediately start 

implementation of the requirements in 

Attachment 1 to the Order and shall 

complete implementation before April 

26, 2006, or the first day that spent fuel 

is initially placed in the ISFSI, 

whichever is earlier. 

B. 1. Entergy shall, within twenty (20) 

days of the date of this Order, notify the 

Commission: (1) If they are unable to 

comply with any of the requirements 

described in Attachment 1, (2) if 

compliance with any of the 

requirements is unnecessary in their 

specific circumstances, or (3) if 

implementation of any of the 

requirements would cause the licensee 

to be in violation of the provisions of 

any Commission regulation or the 

facility license. The notification shall 

provide the licensee’s justification for 

seeking relief from or variation of any 

specific requirement. 

2. If Entergy considers that 

implementation of any of the 

requirements described in Attachment 1 

to this Order would adversely impact 

the safe storage of spent fuel, Entergy 

must notify the Commission, within 

twenty (20) days of this Order, of the 

adverse safety impact, the basis for its 

determination that the requirement has 

an adverse safety impact, and either a 

proposal for achieving the same 

objectives specified in the Attachment 1 

requirement(s) in question, or a 

schedule for modifying the facility to 

address the adverse safety condition. If 

neither approach is appropriate, Entergy 

must supplement its response to
