LICENSEE'S ANSWER TO FEBRUARY 25, 2002 COMMISSION ORDER TO MODIFY LICENSE FOR INTERIM SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY MEASURES On February 25, 2002, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC" or "Commission") issued an immediately effective order in the captioned matter entitled Order Modifying Licenses (Effective Immediately) ("Order") to, inter alia, Entergy Operations, Inc.

("Entergy"). The Order stated that following September 11, 2001, the Commission took a number of actions, including the commencement of a comprehensive review of its safeguards and security programs and requirements. The Commission stated its determination that power reactor licensees be required to implement compensatory measures as prudent, interim actions to address the generalized high-level threat environment in a consistent manner throughout the nuclear reactor community. Therefore, 1

the NRC stated it was imposing requirements as set forth in Attachment 2 of the Order.

1 Attachment 2 contained Safeguards Information and was not publicly released.

Entergy has responded to the substantive requirements of the Order in letters dated March 2

15, 2002 in accordance with the provisions of 10 C.F.R. § 50.4, as directed by the Order.

Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. § 2.202(d), Entergy consents to the Order, except as follows:

pursuant to a letter sent to Mr. Samuel J. Collins, Director, Nuclear Reactor Regulation, on March 15, 2002, in the same dockets, Entergy has requested an extension of time in which to request a hearing with respect to certain interim compensatory measures in Attachment 2 of the Order. The request is based on the pendency of several analyses needed to provide a basis to determine whether a request for a hearing would be appropriate. That request for extension of time is incorporated by reference in this Answer.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the forgoing is true and correct.

Respectfully submitted, Entergy Operations, Inc.

John R. McGaha President -E01 P
