Dear Mr. Dinelli:

The purpose of this letter is to document the verbal approval to extend the response date for the

Strategies for Mitigating a Beyond-Design-Basis External Event. During an August 9, 2018,

telephone call to NRC Region IV, Mr. J. Jarrell, Manager of Regulatory Assurance, at

Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, requested an extension for the 30-day response to

the subject Notice of Violation. This request was followed by a letter, dated August 9, 2018

(NRC Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession

Number ML18221A639). During the telephone call, Mr. Jarrell stated that the reason for the

request was that Entergy did not receive the inspection report and Notice of Violation, issued on

July 20, 2018, until August 6, 2018.

This letter confirms that in order to allow adequate time to prepare the required response, the

deadline for responding to the Notice has been extended from August 20, 2018 to

September 12, 2018.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs
