SUBJECT:
WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - ISSUANCE OF CONFORMING AMENDMENT RE: TRANSFER OF THE FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE FROM ENTERGY LOUISIANA, INC. TO ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC (TAC NO. MC7974)
Dear Mr. Taylor:
By Order dated December 2, 2005, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved the transfer of Facility Operating License No. NPF-38 for the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 (Waterford 3), held by Entergy Louisiana, Inc. (ELI) and Entergy Operations, Inc. (EOI),
and approved a conforming amendment, pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Sections 50.80 and 50.90. The transfer is associated with the restructuring of ELI from a Louisiana corporation to a Texas limited liability company, Entergy Louisiana, LLC (ELL).
EOI will continue to operate Waterford 3, and the proposed restructuring will not affect the technical or financial qualifications of ELL or EOI. The Order was published in the Federal Register on December 13, 2005 (70 FR 73800).
By letter dated December 8, 2005, EOI notified the NRC that 1) all required regulatory approvals of the transfer have been received, 2) the Waterford 3 decommissioning trust agreements will be amended at the time of the closing of the transfer of ownership of Waterford 3 to reflect ELL as the owner of all the decommissioning trust funds accumulated as of the date of the closing, and 3) the closing of the transfer would occur on December 31, 2005, and also provided proof that the required insurance had been obtained. EOI's December 8 letter satisfied the required conditions of the Order.
Accordingly, the Commission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 203 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-38 for Waterford 3 (Enclosure 1). This conforming amendment reflects the transfer of the license to ELL and includes any changes made to the license pages by amendments issued subsequent to December 2, 2005. The safety evaluation supporting the conforming amendment was attached to the above mentioned Order, issued on December 2, 2005. contains a signed original of Amendment No. 7 to Indemnity Agreement No. B-92 for Waterford 3, which is required in connection with the transfer of the license. Please keep this original for your records.
The Notice of Issuance will be included in the Commissions biweekly Federal Register notice.
Sincerely,
/RA/
