April 26, 2007 THIS LETTER WAS ISSUED TO THOSE ON THE ATTACHED LIST.

SUBJECT:

NOTIFICATION OF UPCOMING MEETING

Dear Mr.:

Each year, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducts an integrated assessment of nuclear power plant performance. This assessment is based upon the risk significance of the inspection findings by the NRCs resident and region-based inspectors and the insights gained from the licensee-provided performance indicators. The results are then communicated with the public through a public meeting held in the vicinity of each nuclear power plant. Nationally, plants with significant performance shortcomings are reviewed by the NRCs senior management and discussed with the Commission in a public meeting in Rockville, Maryland.

We have completed the annual assessment associated with the 2006 inspections and performance indicators for Waterford 3. The results can be found on the NRC web site at http://www.nrc.gov/NRR/OVERSIGHT/ASSESS/index.html. We have also scheduled a public meeting to discuss the results. All public meeting notices can be viewed online at the NRC web site at www.nrc.gov/public-involve/public-meetings/index.cfm. The meeting for Waterford 3 is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 17, 2007, at the James M. Cain Entergy Education Center, 4224 Highway 3127, Killona, LA.

In conjunction with this meeting, we are offering all local decision-makers an opportunity to meet separately with an NRC Region IV manager and myself, the NRC Senior Resident Inspector at Waterford 3, immediately following the public meeting. This opportunity is intended to provide you a forum to ask any questions that you may have and to let you meet personally the NRC personnel with whom you would interface in the event of an emergency at the nuclear power plant.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter will be made available electronically for public inspection in the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

I fully anticipate that you will find this opportunity responsive to your needs and I look forward to personally greeting you at the meeting. Should you have any questions concerning this initiative, please contact me at 985/783-6253.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Dean H. Overland Senior Resident Inspector (Acting)

Waterford 3
