Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station Docket No. 50-271
SUBJECT:
PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A FINAL NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION AND LICENSE AMENDMENT FOR WHICH A HEARING HAS BEEN REQUESTED This is to inform the Commission that a final no significant hazards consideration determination and license amendment will be issued on or about December 18, 2015, to Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.

This action is being taken in response to the licensees amendment application dated June 12, 2014,1 as supplemented by additional letters,2 and will modify Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-28 for the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station.
