Dear Sir or Madam:

Entergy Operations Inc. and Entergy Nuclear Operations Inc. (Entergy), in Reference 1, requested authorization for use of equipment that has not been tested or certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The request was to use Delta Protection's self fed single use Mururoa BLU suit. The request was made pursuant to 10 CFR 20.1703(b).

On June 16, 2006, Entergy and members of your staff held a phone call to discuss the change. As a result of that call, Entergy agreed to establish procedures that implement the use of the BLU suits consistent with the Topical Report (ADAMS Accession No. ML053060280) and in accordance with the "Approved Device Configuration and Conditions of Use" identified in the NRC's related Safety Evaluation (ADAMS Accession No. ML060950499). These new commitments are listed in Attachment 1. The commitments supersede all of the commitments made in Reference 1.

Should you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Bill Brice at (601) 368-5076.

Very truly yours, FGB/WBB/bal Attachments:
