Dear Sir or Madam:

10 CFR 50.75(f)(1) requires each power reactor licensee to report to the NRC by March 31, 1999, and every two years thereafter, on the status of its decommissioning funding for each reactor, or share of a reactor, that it owns. 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(v) requires licensees of shutdown sites to report to the NRC annually, by March 31, on the status of decommissioning financial assurance for those sites. On behalf of Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 2, LLC (Indian Point 1 & 2), Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 3, LLC, Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC, Entergy Nuclear Generation Company (Pilgrim Station), Entergy Nuclear FitzPatrick, LLC, and Entergy Nuclear Palisades, LLC (Palisades and Big Rock Point), Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. hereby submits the information requested for power reactors operated by Entergy Nuclear .O(

ENOC-1 5-00005 Page 2 of 4 Operations, Inc. The reports provided in Attachments 1 through 13 for the eight licensed facilities addressed by this filing, were prepared in accordance with NUREG-1307 (Reference 1) and NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2001-07 (Reference 2). Attachments 14 and 15 are updated site specific decommissioning cost estimates for Indian Point Unit 1 and Vermont Yankee, respectively. The Minimum Funding Assurance calculation worksheets, derived from LIC-205 Revision 4, are provided in Attachment 16 for the convenience of the reviewer.

The estimated minimum decommissioning fund values were determined using the NRC's methodology in NUREG-1307 Rev 15. Pursuant to NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2014-12, Entergy Operations, Inc. understands that the NRC has directed licensees to use NUREG-1307 Rev. 15 for this filing.

The trust fund amounts reported for each facility in the responses to item 3 represent the market value of decommissioning trust funds as of December 31, 2014 net of any material current income tax liability on realized gains, interest, dividends and other income of the trusts. The New York Power Authority (NYPA) holds the decommissioning trust funds for Indian Point 3 and FitzPatrick. NYPA is a state agency, and the decommissioning trust funds held by NYPA are not subject to taxes. The trusts for the following plants had estimated balances on their 2014 tax liabilities, not reflected in the trust fund balances, as follows:

Indian Point 1 $ 0 Indian Point 2 $ 0 Indian Point 3 $ 0 Vermont Yankee $2,236,000 Pilgrim $ 0 FitzPatrick $ 0 Palisades $ 0 In accordance with guidance provided by the NRC Staff in April 2014 requests for additional information (Accession No. ML14120A273) that "[fluture 10 CFR 50.75(f) reports should clearly delineate estimate reactor and ISFSI decommissioning costs," the information in Attachments 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 includes line item 2 identifying the ISFSI decommissioning obligation, escalated from the most recent 10 CFR 72.30 filing. This obligation is also accounted for in the Excess/Shortfall calculations for each plant in Attachment 16.

The aforementioned worksheets, using the December 31, 2014 trust fund balances and parent guarantee amounts, indicate that all of the plants covered by this submittal met or exceeded the NRC's funding requirements. Accordingly, the licensees conclude that no further action is required at this time to demonstrate adequate funding assurance for decommissioning the plants covered by this submittal.

There are no new commitments made in this letter. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. David Mannai, Senior Manager, Fleet Regulatory Assurance at 802-380-1175.

IP1 DTF Balance Based on Decommissioning Funding Assurance Plan For Year Ending December 31, 2014 - 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1)

On October 23, 2008, Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 2, LLC (ENIP2) submitted a preliminary decommissioning cost analysis to the NRC in conjunction with its spent fuel management plan under 10 CFR 50.75(f)(3) and 10 CFR 50.54(bb) (Accession No. ML083040378, as supplemented by ENIP2's reply to RAls on July 15, 2009 (Accession No. ML092050204). The preliminary decommissioning cost analysis contained separate site-specific decommissioning cost estimates for Indian Point 1 and Indian Point 2. The estimates were subsequently found to be reasonable by the NRC on March 17, 2010 (Accession No. ML100280544).

Pursuant to Regulatory Guide 1.159, Revision 2, adjustment to the site-specific cost estimates should be made at least once a year for the effects of inflation. Adjustment to site-specific cost estimates for the effects of technological and status changes should be made according to the amount of change experienced, as appropriate, but in no event, less than once every 5 years.

As such, ENIP2 has updated the aforementioned estimates consistent with the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.159, Revision 2.

ENIP2 has determined that use of a SAFSTOR analysis shows that there is presently reasonable assurance that adequate funds will be available for the decommissioning process in compliance with NRC decommissioning funding assurance rules.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(i), "A licensee that has prepaid funds based on a site-specific estimate under § 50.75(b)(1) of this section may take, credit for projected earnings on the prepaid decommissioning trust funds, using up to a 2 percent annual real rate of return from the time of future funds' collection through the projected decommissioning period, provided that the site-specific estimate is based on a period of safe storage that is specifically described in the estimate." ENIP2 understands that a facility-specific analysis may be used for demonstrating the adequacy of decommissioning funds, provided that "the NRC-required cost estimate for decommissioning costs as defined in 10 CFR 50.2 is equal to or greater than the amount stated in the formulas in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(1) and (2) as the basis for justifying a higher than minimum funding level." (Regulatory Guide 1.159 Rev. 2, Section 1.1.1.) ENIP2 also understands that NRC should be provided the analysis, and that the analysis should include data for each year of the analysis.

The updated Indian Point 1 site-specific decommissioning cost estimate is based on a period of safe storage that is specifically described in the estimate, namely storage until 2075, at which time the plant will be decommissioned and the site released for alternative use without restriction. Table 14-1 below provides the annual license termination costs computed in the updated estimate. These costs to date have been funded by operations, and not by the decommissioning fund. The decommissioning trust fund (DTF) ending balance is escalated each year by the 2% real growth figure allowed pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(i).

IPI DTF Balance Based on Decommissioning Funding Assurance Plan For Year Ending December 31, 2014 - 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1)

As can be seen from the information provided in Table 14-1, the required funding for SAFSTOR decommissioning, $557.97 million, is greater than the NRC formula amount per 10 CFR 50.75(b) and 1(c) of $434.07 million, therefore, the site-specific analysis complies with the requirement from Regulatory Guide 1.159 section 1.1.1 previously discussed. The foregoing SAFSTOR analysis shows that when the December 31, 2014 DTF balance is escalated at the allowable rate and compared against the annual figures for the SAFSTOR period, an approximately $546.49 million surplus exists at the end of the decommissioning project.

Accordingly, ENIP2 concludes that no further action is required at this time to demonstrate adequate funding assurance for decommissioning Indian Point 1.

Vermont Yankee Annual Cash Flow Analysis For Year Ending December 31, 2014 - 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1)

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (Vermont Yankee) permanently ceased operations on December 29, 2014. The Vermont Yankee decommissioning trust fund balance is approximately $665 million as of December 31, 2014. Tables 3.4 and 3.5 of the site-specific decommissioning cost estimate (Reference 1, Attachment 1) set forth the estimated annual expenditures for license termination and spent fuel management, respectively. A cash flow analysis utilizing this annual expenditure information is included as Table 15-1.

The cash flow analysis demonstrates that the Vermont Yankee decommissioning trust fund is sufficiently funded for all license termination activities and certain spent fuel management activities (i.e., operational costs). As discussed in the Irradiated Fuel Management Program Update (Reference 2) costs related to spent fuel management operations (e.g., operations and maintenance costs for the spent fuel pool and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation, totaling approximately $225 million) will be funded from the decommissioning trust fund, assuming that Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. obtains an exemption that allows the use of trust funds for spent fuel management activities.

The licensee has determined that use of a SAFSTOR analysis shows that there is presently reasonable assurance that adequate funds will be available for the decommissioning process in compliance with NRC decommissioning funding assurance rules; Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(i), "A licensee that has prepaid funds based on a site-specific estimate under § 50.75(b)(1) of this section may take, credit for projected earnings on the prepaid decommissioning trust funds, using up to a 2 percent annual real rate of return from the time of future funds' collection through the projected decommissioning period, provided that the site-specific estimate is based on a period of safe storage that is specifically described in the estimate." The licensee understands that a facility-specific analysis may be used for demonstrating the adequacy of decommissioning funds, provided that "the NRC-required cost estimate for decommissioning costs as defined in 10 CFR 50.2 is equal to or greater than the amount stated in the formulas in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(1) and (2) as the basis for justifying a higher than minimum funding level." (Regulatory Guide 1.159 Rev. 2, Section 1.1.1.) The licensee also understands that NRC should be provided the analysis, and that the analysis should include data for each year of the analysis. An updated decommissioning estimate was provided with the licensee's Post Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report on December 19, 2014 (Accession No. ML14357A110).

The updated Vermont Yankee site-specific decommissioning cost estimate is based on a period of safe storage that is specifically described in the estimate, namely storage until approximately 2068, at which time the plant will be decommissioned and the site released for alternative use without restriction. Table 15-1 below provides the annual license termination and spent fuel management costs computed in the updated estimate. These costs to date have been funded by operations, and not by the decommissioning fund. The decommissioning trust fund (DTF) ending balance is escalated each year by the 2% real growth figure allowed pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(i).

Thus, considering the fund balance of $665 million, as of December 31, 2014, and projected fund earnings during the SAFSTOR period (assuming an annual 2% growth rate), the trust fund

  • As noted in Attachment 5 above, 2014 costs were paid out of operating funds and are planned to be repaid from the nuclear decommissioning trust in 2015 or later. For purposes only of this filing, the Column 6 withdrawal amount for 2015 assumes all of the 2014 decommissioning expenditures (approximately $15.2 million) will be withdrawn in from the decommissioning trust in 2015.

As can be seen from the information provided in Table 15-1, the required funding for SAFSTOR decommissioning, $817.2 million, is greater than the NRC formula amount per 10 CFR 50.75(b) and 1(c) of $622.8 million, therefore, the site-specific analysis complies with the requirement from Regulatory Guide 1.159 section 1.1.1 previously discussed. The foregoing SAFSTOR analysis shows that when the December 31, 2014 DTF balance is escalated at the allowable rate and compared against the annual figures for the SAFSTOR period, an approximately

$188.7 million surplus exists at the end of the decommissioning project. Accordingly, the licensee concludes that no further action is required at this time to demonstrate adequate funding assurance for decommissioning Vermont Yankee.
