Dear Ms. Lampert:

Thank you for your October 27, 2010 response to our request that Pilgrim Watch identify its experts with respect to meteorological issues, and provide their relied upon bases, and provide copies of specific documents identified in its disclosure. While we appreciate your response, it is inadequate in several respects.

The first paragraph of your response suggests that Pilgrim Watch is not able to identify the analysis and authority on which its witnesses will base their opinions

  • because Pilgrim Watch has not yet engaged expert witnesses. Your letter states that:

When the Commission responds [to Pilgrim Watch's motion for clarification], we expect that the scope will become crystal clear; and at that time Pilgrim Watch will enter into contracts with expert witnesses and provide a complete witness list and relied upon basis.

(Emphasis added). We are very concerned with this statement, not only because it leaves us in the dark concerning the issues against which we must defend but also because we are concerned that Pilgrim Watch is not endeavoring to meet the Board's scheduling Order requiring the parties to "simultaneously submit their prefiled direct testimony on the meteorological modeling issues by January 3, 2011." We see no reason why Pilgrim Watch should be unable to work on and disclose the bases for its testimony on the meteorological modeling issues; and we want you to clearly understand that Entergy will oppose any request by Pilgrim Watch to delay the submission of its prefiled expert testimony on the meteorological modeling issues beyond January 3, 2011 because of any failure to timely engage and employ experts for the preparation of its pre-filed testimony.

November 3, 2010 Page 2 Furthermore, while this may seem repetitive, it is still unclear to us which expert(s) you intend to rely upon with respect to Pilgrim Watch's meteorological modeling claims. We assume that Dr. Egan will testify with regards to these claims.

Please inform us if you expect Mr. Chanin and Dr. Lyman - or any other expert witness - to testify on meteorological modeling issues.1 Additionally, as your letter stated, 10 CFR § 2.336(a)(1) requires Pilgrim Watch to provide a "copy of the analysis or other authority upon which that person bases his or her opinion."

Therefore, please provide the relied upon bases of your experts for the meteorological modeling issues in your reply to this letter.

With regards to Pilgrim Watch's 6 th and 7 rh disclosures, we appreciate your working with Dr. Egan to quickly produce your documents that we could not easily access on the internet. As you suggested, we reviewed Dr. Egan's Declaration for the NYAGO summary disposition motion, but only one of the twenty-one documents we requested is an exhibit to Dr. Egan's NYAGO declaration. 2 You suggest that Dr.

Hanna may be able to access copies of these other documents. But he is busily engaged and, under the Commission's regulations, it is the responsibility of every party to attend to its own document disclosures. Entergy is not required to expend resources to conduct searches for documents that you have identified as relevant to your claims and which presumably you or Dr. Egan have already gathered. As such, please provide copies of the remaining twenty documents identified in Attachment 1 to our October 20, 2010 letter in accordance with 10 CFR § 2.336(a)(2).

Sincerely,

/s/ Paul A. Gaukler Paul A. Gaukler Counsel for Entergy cc: Service List As noted in Entergy's October 20, 2010 letter, Entergy does not request Pilgrim Watch to identify, at this time, its expert witnesses on its averaging practice concerns since the Board has not yet ruled on the issue's timeliness and whether the issue is a part of this proceeding.

2 Dr. Egan's Declaration for the NYAGO included Environmental Science and Engineering, J. Glynn Henry & Gary W. Heinke, (Prentice-Hall 1989) as an exhibit.
