Dear Sir or Madam:

On March 12, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC" or "Commission") issued an order (Reference 1) to Entergy. Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs Entergy to develop, implement, and maintain guidance and strategies to maintain or restore core cooling, containment, and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities in the event of a beyond-design-basis external event. Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1.

Reference 1 required submission of an initial status report 60 days following issuance of the final interim staff guidance (Reference 2) and an overall integrated plan pursuant to Section IV, Condition C. Reference 2 endorses industry guidance document NEI 12-06, Revision 0 (Reference 3) with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference 2. Reference 4 provided the Pilgrim Station initial status report regarding mitigation strategies. Reference 5 provided the Pilgrim Overall Integrated Plan.

Reference 1 requires submission of a status report at six-month intervals following submittal of the overall integrated plan. Reference 3 provides direction regarding the content of the status reports. Reference 8 provided the first six-month status report. Reference 9 provided the second six-month status report. The purpose of this letter is to provide the third six-month status report pursuant to Section IV, Condition C.2, of Reference 1, that delineates progress made in implementing the requirements of Reference 1. The attached report provides an update of milestone accomplishments since the last status report, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief and the basis, if any.

The FLEX strategies in the Overall Implementation Plan currently rely on the current conceptual design of the reliable hardened vent (RHV) system that was developed in response to Reference 6, NRC Order EA-12-050. Reference 7, NRC Order EA-13-109, dated June 6, 2013, rescinds the requirements of NRC Order EA-12-050. Compliance with the requirements of NRC Order EA-12-050, including applicable schedule deadlines for submittals or implementation, is no longer required. The industry, through NEI and the owners' group, is addressing the new requirements provided in NRC Order EA-1 3-109 on the schedule outlined in NRC Order EA 109. Because of the new order (NRC Order EA-13-109), there will be additional independent instrumentation improvements made to the hardened containment vent, but the wetwell vent is

Should you have any questions concerning the content of this letter, please contact Mr. Everett (Chip) Perkins Jr. at (508) 830-8323.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct; executed on August 28, 2014.

Sincerely,
