Dear Sir or Madam:

This "Supplemental Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding the Request for Direct and Indirect License Transfers" is submitted by Northstar Group Services, Inc.

(Northstar), on behalf of itself, Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC (ENVY), which is to be renamed Northstar Vermont Yankee, LLC (Northstar VY), Northstar Nuclear Decommissioning Company, LLC (Northstar NOC) and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENOI).

By letter dated February 9, 2017, ENOI, ENVY, and Northstar NOC (together, Applicants) submitted an application for consent to the direct and indirect license transfers 'of Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-28 for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VY) and the general license for the VY Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) from ENOI and ENVY to Northstar NOC and Northstar VY (Reference 1, as supplemented by Reference 2).

Specifically, the Applicants requested the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) written consent to the direct transfer of ENO l's licensed authority to Northstar NOC, and to the indirect transfer of control of ENVY's licenses to Northstar Decommissioning Holdings, LLC, and its parents, in accordance with Section 184 of the Atomic Energy Act, and Title 1O of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), sections 10 CFR 50.80 and 10 CFR 72.50.

In Reference 7, Applicants responded to NRC's Requests for Additional Information dated April 5, 2018 (ML18045A817). Northstar provided a revised Form of Financial Support Agreement in the amount of $140 million as Enclosure 6 to Attachment 2.

Northstar has further revised the language in Section 3 of the Form of Financial Support Agreement, and it therefore is providing a revised Form of Financial Support Agreement as Attachment 1 to this letter.

In Reference 7 as Enclosures 1-3 of Attachment 2, Applicants provided annual cash flow analyses in response to RAl-1. Northstar now anticipates the possibility of alternative tax treatment that might impact the assumed opening trust balances reflected in these analyses. to this letter provides further information regarding NorthStar's revised assumptions, and it also. includes updates to Enclosures 1-3 to reflect the revised assumptions.

Reference 8 included a cash flow analysis to support the exemption request that was identical to Enclosure 1 of Attachment 2 in the Reference 7. The updated Enclosure 1 to Attachment 2 to this letter should be substituted for the analysis provide in Reference 8.

This letter contains no new regulatory commitments.

In the event that the NRC has any questions about the transactions described in this letter or wishes to obtain any additional information, please contact Coley Chappell of ENOI at

Page 3 of 3 802-451-3374, or contact Gregory G. Dicarlo of Northstar Group Services, Inc. at 203-222-0584 x3051 or GDiCarlo@NorthStar.com.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on June 28, 2018.

Sincerely,

Docket No. 50-271 and 72-59 Attachment 1 Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station Form of Financial Support Agreement

/ Page 1 of 3 SUPPORT AGREEMENT BETWEEN NORTHSTAR GROUP SERVICES, INC. AND NORTHSTAR VERMONT YANKEE, LLC THIS SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of June 28 , 2018, is made by and between NorthStar Group Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), and NorthStar Vermont Yankee, LLC a Delaware limited liability company f/k/a Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC (the "Subsidiary").

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Parent is the indirect owner of 100% of the outstanding interests in the Subsidiary; WHEREAS, the Subsidiary owns the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station, located in Vernon, Vermont ("VYNPS"), Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-28 on the basis of which the Subsidiary and Northstar Nuclear Decommissioning Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, under the ownership of Parent, are authorized to own, possess maintain and decommission the VYNPS facilities and nuclear material (the "NRC License"); and WHEREAS, Parent and the Subsidiary desire to take certain actions to assure the Subsidiary's ability to pay the expenses of maintaining and decommissioning VYNPS safely and protecting the public health and safety and to meet Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC")

and State of Vermont requirements until the NRC License is terminated and site restoration under state-law requirements is complete ( collectively, the "Decommissioning Costs").

Now, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Availability of Funding; Use of Proceeds. From time to time, upon request of the Subsidiary, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to the Subsidiary such funds as the Subsidiary determines to be necessary to pay the Decommissioning Costs; provided, however, in any event the aggregate amount which Parent is obligated to provide under this Agreement shall not exceed $140 million.
2. No Guarantee to Third Parties. Without limiting the obligation set forth in paragraph 1, this Support Agreement is not, and nothing herein contained, and no action taken pursuant hereto by Parent shall be construed as, or deemed to constitute, a direct or indirect guarantee by Parent to any third party (other than the NRC and the Vermont Public Utility Commission) of the payment of the Decommissioning Costs or of any liability or obligation of any kind or character whatsoever of the Subsidiary. This Agreement may, however, be relied upon by

/ Page 2 of 3 the NRC as a parental guarantee in determining the financial qualifications of the Subsidiary to hold the NRC License, including funding the costs associated with the spent fuel management program, and by the Vermont Public Utility Commission as a parental guarantee in determining financial assurance for the completion of decommissioning and site.restoration.

3. Waivers. Parent hereby waives any failure or delay on the part of the Subsidiary in asserting or enforcing any of its rights or in making any claims or demands hereunder.
4. Amendments and Termination. This Agreement may not be amended or modified at any time without 30 days' prior written notice to the NRC, the Vermont Department of Public Service, the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, and the Vermont Attorney General's Office. This Agreement shall terminate at such time as Parent or any affiliate is no longer the direct or indirect owner of any of the shares or other ownership interests in the Subsidiary. This Agreement shall also terminate with respect to the Decommissioning Costs at such time as the NRC License is terminated for all areas *of the VYNPS site and the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources has determined that site restoration is complete.
5. Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
6. Third Parties. Except as expressly provided in Sections 2 and 4 with respect to the NRC, the Vermont Public Utility Commission, the Vermont Department of Public Service, the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, and the Vermont Attorney General's Office, this Agreement is not intended for the benefit of any person other than the parties hereto, and shall not confer or be deemed to confer upon any other such person any benefits, rights, or remedies hereunder.
7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.
8. Subsidiary Covenants. The Subsidiary shall take no action to (a) cause Parent, or its successors and assigns, to void, cancel or otherwise modify its $140 million support commitment hereunder; (b) cause Parent to fail to perform its commitments hereunder or (c) impair Parent's performance hereunder, or remove or interfere with the Subsidiary's ability to draw upon Parent's commitment, in each case, without the prior written consent of the NRC's Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. Further, the Subsidiary shall inform the NRC in writing any time that it draws upon the $140 million commitment.

/ Enclosures Attachment 2 Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station Supplemental Response to RAl-1

Attachment 1 / Page 1 of 3 Supplemental Response:

The cash flow analyses previously provided as Enclosures 1-3 of Attachment 2 to Reference 7 are consistent with the expected opening balance of the trust fund,

_beginning with a transfer completed at the end of 2018 and with work commencing January 1, 2019. However, Northstar is providing revised cash flow analyses that reflect a more conservative potential scenario, where trust fund income taxes would be paid prior to closing the transaction, as opposed to after the transaction closing, as currently contemplated. Under this more conservative scenario, the opening trust fund balance would be reduced from $513.35 million to $487.89 million.

As Northstar previously indicated in its Responses to RAls (Reference 7), Entergy and Northstar have agreed to contribute $30 million collectively to an escrow account at the time of the transaction closing. Consistent with requirements for the prepayment method of financial assurance pursuant to 10 CFR 50. 75(e)(i), the escrow account will be segregated from the licensee assets and outside the administrative control of the licensee and its*subsidiaries or affiliates and will contain cash or liquid assets that will produce earnings. Alternatively, the escrow account may be considered an equivalent form of financial assurance pursuant to 10 CFR 50. 75(e)(vi).

Accordingly, Northstar is providing revised cash flow analyses that reflect the availability of the $30 million escrow account funds (subject to the restrictions on the use of those funds in paragraphs 2(c) and 4 of the Vermont Settlement Agreement (Reference 5)), at the time the Licenses are transferred, so that the assumed combined opening balance of available funds in the trust fund and the escrow account under the more conservative scenario would be $517.89 million (i.e., $487.89 million+ $30 million). Updates to Enclosures 1-3 of Attachment 2 to Reference 7 are provided as Enclosures 1-3 to this letter.

In addition, Northstar notes that further sources of funding will be available to Northstar VY that have not been incorporated into the cash flow analyses. For example, Northstar has committed to make further contributions to the escrow account of an additional $25 million, which are expected to be completed by 2024, consistent with paragraph 2(c) of the Vermont Settlement Agreement (Reference 5).

Also, pursuant to paragraph 3(a) of the Vermont Settlement Agreement (Reference 5),

North Star will have a $60 million trust account for site restoration costs prior to the transfer of the Licenses, which is more than double NorthStar's estimated site restoration costs (approximately $25 million). Once partial site release and partial site restoration are complete in 2027, Northstar would seek the required approvals and consents necessary to obtain release of the projected excess funds in the site restoration subaccount. Even if site restoration costs are $10 million (40%) higher than estimated, and assuming all necessary approvals and consents are obtained, Northstar conservatively projects that it would be able to access at least $25 million in funds released from the site restoration subaccount in 2027.

/ Page 2 of 3 Finally, it should be noted that the projected license termination (radiological decommissioning) costs in column 1 of Enclosures 1 through 3 include $50 million of contingency. Along with the absence of any credit given to DOE recoveries, these analyses are therefore very conservative.
