Dear Mr. Schwarz:

On November 23, 2010 and November 30, 2010, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will perform a supplemental inspection at the Palisades Nuclear Plant and Entergy Corporate Headquarters respectively. The inspection is being conducted to review and evaluate your completion of the required actions associated with the NRCs Confirmatory Order, EA-09-060.

In order to minimize the impact to your on-site resources and to ensure a productive inspection for both sides, we have enclosed a request for documents needed for the inspection. The documents identified are those the inspectors will need upon arrival at the respective sites. It is important that all of these documents are up to date and complete in order to minimize the number of additional documents requested during the inspection.

If you have any questions regarding our schedule or the material being requested, please contact Gregory Hansen at (630) 829-9610. He may also be reached electronically at gregory.hansen@nrc.gov.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Documents
