Letter from Ms. Michele G. Evans, NRC, to Mr. John F. McCann, Entergy Services, Inc., dated March 27, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15040A140)

Dear Ms. Evans:

In the referenced letter, the NRC requested comments on the proposed Directors Decision pertaining to the 10 CFR 2.206 Petition regarding Financial Qualifications of James A.

FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant, Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, and Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station. Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENO) has reviewed the decision and has one comment. The proposed decision on page 6 states the most recent decommissioning funding status reports for FitzPatrick, Pilgrim and Vermont Yankee were submitted by March 31, 2013. Since then, on March 30, 2015, ENO submitted updated decommissioning funding status reports for FitzPatrick, Pilgrim and Vermont Yankee (Accession No. ML15092A141). Those reports, again, demonstrate that all three facilities met the minimum financial assurance requirements of 10 CFR 50.75(c), and no decommissioning shortfalls were reported.

This letter contains no new commitments.
