SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy Nuclear Operations) is a nuclear management service company wholly owned by Entergy Corporation. Entergy Nuclear Operations has been authorized to act as an agent in the operations, but not ownership, of Indian Point 1 Electric Generating Station (IP1), Indian Point 2 Electric Generating Station (IP2),
Indian Point 3 Electric Generating Station (IP3), Palisades Nuclear Power Station, and the former Big Rock Point Nuclear Power Plant subject to oversight and direction by Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 2, LLC, Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 3, LLC, and Entergy Nuclear Palisades, LLC (collectively, the Companies), respectively. The Companies retain their ownership interests, associated capacity, and energy entitlements and pay directly or reimburse Entergy Nuclear Operations for the costs associated with the operation and maintenance of these units. Entergy Corporation entered into separate guarantee agreements with the Companies whereby Entergy Corporation guarantees the financial ability of Entergy Nuclear Operations to meet its various financial obligations to the Companies under the operating agreements, as long as the Companies continue to meet their payment obligations to Entergy Nuclear Operations under the applicable operating agreements.
Entergy Nuclear Operations previously was the nuclear management service company for the Vermont Yankee and Pilgrim nuclear plants. On December 29, 2014, the Vermont Yankee plant was removed from the grid, after 42 years of operations. In November 2016, Entergy entered into an agreement to sell 100% of its membership interest in Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC to a subsidiary of NorthStar. In October 2018 the NRC issued an order approving Entergy and NorthStars application to transfer Vermont Yankees license to NorthStar for decommissioning. In December 2018 the Vermont Public Utility Commission issued an order approving the transaction. On January 11, 2019, Entergy and NorthStar closed the transaction. As of January 11, 2019, Entergy no longer owns the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant or the nuclear decommissioning trust fund and obligations for spent fuel management and plant decommissioning.
In October 2015, Entergy determined that it would close the Pilgrim plant. Pilgrim ceased operations in May 2019. On July 30, 2018, Entergy entered into purchase and sale agreement with Holtec International to sell to a Holtec subsidiary 100% of the equity interests in Entergy Nuclear Generation Company, the owner of Pilgrim. On August 22, 2019 the NRC approved the transfer of Pilgrims facility licenses to Holtec. On August 26, 2019, Entergy and Holtec closed the transaction. As of August 26, 2019, Entergy no longer owns the Pilgrim nuclear plant or the nuclear decommissioning trust fund and obligation for spent fuel management and plant decommissioning.
For Palisades, most of its output is sold under a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Consumers Energy, entered into when the plant was acquired in 2007, that is scheduled to expire in 2022. Entergy intends to shut down the Palisades nuclear power plant permanently no later than May 31, 2022. Entergy Nuclear Operations will continue to serve as the nuclear management services provider for Palisades while it remains in operation. On July 30, 2018, Entergy entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Holtec International to sell to a Holtec subsidiary 100% of the equity interests in Entergy Nuclear Palisades, LLC, the owner of

Palisades and Big Rock Point.
Indian Point 2 ceased operations on April 30, 2020 and Indian Point 3 is expected to cease commercial operations by April 30, 2021, subject to certain conditions. Operations may be extended up to four additional years for each unit mutual agreement of Entergy and New York State based on an exigent reliability need for Indian Point generation. In September 2018, the NRC issued renewed operating licenses for Indian Point 2 through April 2024 and for Indian Point 3 through April 2025. Entergy Nuclear Operations will continue to serve as the nuclear management services provider for IP2 and IP3 while they remain in operation and after they cease operation. In April 2019, Entergy entered into an agreement to sell, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity interests in the subsidiaries that own IP1, IP2, and IP3, after Indian Point 3 has been shut down and defueled, to a Holtec International subsidiary for decommissioning. The sale includes the transfer of the licenses, spent fuel, decommissioning liabilities, and nuclear decommissioning trusts for the three units. The transaction is subject to closing conditions, including approval from the NRC. The transaction closing is targeted for May 2021, following the defueling of Indian Point 3.
Entergy Nuclear Operations also serves as the nuclear management services provider for two non-operating nuclear facilities, Big Rock Point in Michigan and Indian Point 1 in New York, that were acquired when Entergy purchased the Palisades and Indian Point 2 nuclear plants, respectively. These facilities are in various stages of the decommissioning process. Big Rock Point is under contract to be sold with the Palisades plant and Indian Point 1 is under contract to be sold with the IP2 and IP3 plants. Entergy Nuclear Operations will continue to serve as the nuclear management services provider for those non-operating nuclear facilities while they are owned by Entergy.
System of Accounts
Entergy Nuclear Operations maintains its accounting records using a system of accounts which is in accordance with the system prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Certain reclassifications, which have no effect on net income or retained earnings, may be made to previously reported amounts to conform to current account classifications.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of Entergy Nuclear Operations financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Adjustments to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities may be necessary in the future to the extent that future estimates or actual results are different from the estimates used to prepare the financial statements presented in this Annual Report on Form 60.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis at rates based on the estimated service lives of the various classes of property, which range from 5 to 32 years.
Income Taxes
Accounting standards require that deferred income taxes be recorded for all temporary differences between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets, liabilities, and loss carryforwards. Temporary differences are recorded based on enacted tax laws at tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse.
Entergy Nuclear Operations joins its parent and most of the other Entergy Corporation subsidiaries in filing a consolidated federal income tax return.

proportion to its contribution to consolidated taxable income.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Entergy Nuclear Operations considers all unrestricted highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity at acquisition of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value Disclosure
Entergy Nuclear Operations considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments classified as current assets and liabilities to be a reasonable estimate of their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Entergy Nuclear Operations effective income tax rate was 100% in 2020 and 2019 compared to the current federal statutory income tax rate of 21%. The primary reason for the difference between the effective and statutory income tax rates is that Entergy Nuclear Operations collects revenue in an amount equal to offset expenses including income tax. The income tax benefit for 2020 and income tax expense for 2019 resulted primarily from uncertain tax positions, permanent differences between financial statement and tax accounting methods, and state income taxes.

NOTE 3. OPERATING LEASES
Entergy implemented ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), effective January 1, 2019. The ASUs core principle is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. The ASU considers that all leases create an asset and a liability, and accordingly requires recording the assets and liabilities related to all leases with a term greater than 12 months. Concurrent with the implementation of ASU 2016-02, Entergy implemented ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842, which provided Entergy the option to elect not to evaluate existing land easements that are not currently accounted for as leases under the previous lease standard, and ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which intended to simplify the transition requirement giving Entergy the option to apply the transition provisions of the new standard at the date of adoption instead of at the earliest comparative period. In implementing these ASUs, Entergy elected the options provided in both ASU 2018-01 and ASU 2018-11. This accounting was applied to all lease agreements using the modified retrospective method, which required an adjustment to retained earnings for the cumulative effect of adopting the standard as of the effective date, and when implemented with ASU 2018-11, allowed Entergy to recognize the leased assets and liabilities on its balance sheet beginning on January 1, 2019 without restating prior periods. In adopting the standard in January 2019, Entergy Nuclear Operations recognized right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities totaling approximately $1.5 million. Implementation of the standards had no material effect on consolidated net income; therefore, no adjustment to retained earnings was recorded. The adoption of the standards had no effect on cash flows.
Entergy Nuclear Operations incurred the following total lease costs for the year ended December 31, 2020:

As of December 31, 2020, there were 6,108,451 authorized shares remaining for stock-based awards. The costs of the stock options, restricted stock and performance units are charged to income over three years. The costs of the unrestricted stock unit awards are charged to income over the restricted period, which varies from grant to grant. Entergy Nuclear Operations costs for these awards including capitalized amounts were approximately $2.1 million for 2020 and approximately $1.7 million for 2019.
Defined Contribution Plans
Employees of Entergy Nuclear Operations are also eligible to participate in the Savings Plans of Entergy Corporation and Subsidiaries (Savings Plans). The Savings Plans are defined contribution plans covering eligible employees of Entergy and its subsidiaries. The employing Entergy subsidiary makes matching contributions to the Savings Plans for all non-bargaining and certain bargaining employees to the System Savings Plans as defined in the Plan Documents. Entergy Nuclear Operations' contributions to the Savings Plans were $7.9 million in 2020 and $9.3 million in 2019.
Qualified Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
Entergy Nuclear Operations provides pension and retiree medical, dental, vision, and life insurance benefits (other postretirement benefits) for eligible retired employees. Substantially all employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach retirement age while working for Entergy Nuclear Operations.
Eligible employees of Entergy Nuclear Operations can participate in six defined benefit qualified pension plans.
The Entergy Corporation Retirement Plan II for Non-Bargaining Employees, the Entergy Corporation Retirement Plan II for Bargaining Employees, the Entergy Corporation Retirement Plan III, and the Entergy Corporation Retirement Plan IV for Bargaining Employees are non-contributory final average pay plans and provide pension benefits that are based on employees credited service and compensation during employment. Non-bargaining employees whose most recent date of hire is after June 30, 2014 but before January 1, 2021 participate in the Entergy Corporation Cash Balance Plan for Non-Bargaining Employees. Certain bargaining employees hired or rehired after June 30, 2014, or such later date provided for in their applicable collective bargaining agreements, participate in the Entergy Corporation Cash Balance Plan for Bargaining Employees.
The assets of the final average pay defined benefit qualified pension plans are held in a master trust established by Entergy Corporation and the assets of the cash balance pension plans are held in a second master trust established by Entergy Corporation. Each pension plan has an undivided beneficial interest in each of the investment accounts in its respective master trust that is maintained by a trustee. Use of the master trusts permits the commingling of the trust assets of the pension plans for investment and administrative purposes. Although assets in the master trusts are commingled, the trustee maintains supporting records for the purpose of allocating the trust level equity in net earnings (loss) and the administrative expenses of the investment accounts in each trust to the various participating pension plans in that particular trust. The fair value of the trusts assets is determined by the trustee and certain investment managers.
For each trust, the trustee calculates a daily earnings factor, including realized and unrealized gains or losses, collected and accrued income, and administrative expenses, and allocates earnings to each plan in the master trusts on a pro rata basis.
Within each pension plan, Entergy Nuclear Operations beneficial interest in the plan assets is maintained by the plan's actuary and is updated quarterly. Assets are increased for investment net income and contributions, and are decreased for benefit payments. A plans investment net income/loss (i.e. interest and dividends, realized and unrealized gains and losses and expenses) is allocated to Entergy Nuclear Operations based on the value of assets at the beginning of the quarter adjusted for contributions and benefit payments made during the quarter.

Entergy Nuclear Operations funds pension plans in an amount not less than the minimum required contribution under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The assets of the plans include common and preferred stocks, fixed-income securities, interest in a money market fund, and insurance contracts.
Other postretirement assets are in master trusts, established by Entergy Corporation and maintained by a trustee.
Entergy Nuclear Operations holds a beneficial interest in the trusts assets. The assets in the master trusts are commingled for investment and administrative purposes. Although assets are commingled, supporting records are maintained for the purpose of allocating the beneficial interest in net earnings/(losses) and the administrative expenses of the investment accounts to the various participating plans and participating Entergy companies. Beneficial interest in an investment accounts net income/(loss) is comprised of interest and dividends, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and expenses. Beneficial interest from these investments is allocated to the plans and participating Entergy companies based on their portion of net assets in the pooled accounts.
In March 2020, Entergy announced changes to its other postretirement benefits. Effective January 1, 2021, certain retired, former non-bargaining employees age 65 and older who are eligible for Entergy-sponsored retiree welfare benefits, and their eligible spouses who are age 65 and older (collectively, Medicare-eligible participants), will be eligible to participate in a new Entergy-sponsored retiree health plan, and will no longer be eligible for retiree coverage under the Entergy Corporation Companies Benefits Plus Medical, Dental and Vision Plans. Under the new Entergy retiree health plan, Medicare-eligible participants will be eligible to participate in a health reimbursement arrangement which they may use towards the purchase of various types of qualified insurance offered through a Medicare exchange provider and for other qualified medical expenses. In accordance with accounting standards, the effects of this change were reflected in the March 31, 2020 other postretirement obligation. The changes affecting active bargaining unit employees will be negotiated with the unions prior to implementation, where necessary, and to the extent required by law.

Accounting for Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
Accounting standards require an employer to recognize on its balance sheet the funded status of its benefit plans.
This is measured as the difference between plan assets at fair value and the benefit obligation. Entergy Nuclear Operations uses a December 31 measurement date for its pension and other postretirement plans. Employers are to record previously unrecognized gains and losses, prior service costs, and the remaining transition asset or obligation (that resulted from adopting prior pension and other postretirement benefits accounting standards) as comprehensive income.
Accounting standards also require that changes in the funded status be recorded as other comprehensive income in the period in which the changes occur.
With regard to pension and other postretirement costs, Entergy Nuclear Operations calculates the expected return on pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets by multiplying the long term expected rate of return on assets by the market-related value (MRV) of plan assets. In general, Entergy Nuclear Operations determines the MRV of its pension plan assets by calculating a value that uses a 20-quarter phase-in of the difference between actual and expected return and for its other postretirement benefit plan assets Entergy Nuclear Operations generally uses fair value.
Qualified Pension and Other Postretirement Plans' Assets
The Plan Administrators trust asset investment strategy is to invest the assets in a manner whereby long-term earnings on the assets (plus cash contributions) provide adequate funding for retiree benefit payments. The mix of assets is based on an optimization study that identifies asset allocation targets in order to achieve the maximum return for an acceptable level of risk, while minimizing the expected contributions and pension and postretirement expense.
In the optimization studies, the Plan Administrator formulates assumptions about characteristics, such as expected asset class investment returns, volatility (risk), and correlation coefficients among the various asset classes. The future market assumptions used in the optimization study are determined by examining historical market characteristics of the various asset classes and making adjustments to reflect future conditions expected to prevail over the study period.
The target asset allocation for pension adjusts dynamically based on the pension plans funded status. The current targets are shown below. The expectation is that the allocation to fixed income securities will increase as the pension plans funded status increases. The following ranges were established to produce an acceptable, economically efficient plan to manage around the targets.
For postretirement assets the target and range asset allocations (as shown below) reflect recommendations made in the latest optimization study. The target asset allocations for postretirement assets adjust dynamically based on the funded status of each sub-account within each trust. The current weighted average targets shown below represent the aggregate of all targets for all sub-accounts within all trusts.
Entergy Nuclear Operations qualified pension and postretirement weighted-average asset allocations by asset category at December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the target asset allocation and ranges are as follows:
Pension Asset Allocation Target Range Actual 2020 Actual 2019 Domestic Equity Securities 39% 32% to 46% 38% 39%
International Equity Securities 19% 15% to 23% 19% 19%

Fixed Income Securities 56% 51% to 61% 53% 53%
Other 0% 0% to 5% 0% 0%
In determining its expected long term rate of return on plan assets used in the calculation of benefit plan costs, Entergy Nuclear Operations reviews past performance, current and expected future asset allocations, and capital market assumptions of its investment consultant and some investment managers.
The expected long-term rate of return for the qualified pension plans assets is based primarily on the geometric average of the historical annual performance of a representative portfolio weighted by the target asset allocation defined in the table above, along with other indications of expected return on assets. The time period reflected is a long dated period spanning several decades.
The expected long-term rate of return for the non-taxable postretirement trust assets is determined using the same methodology described above for pension assets, but the aggregate asset allocation specific to the non-taxable postretirement assets is used.
For the taxable postretirement trust assets, the investment allocation includes tax-exempt fixed income securities. This asset allocation, in combination with the same methodology employed to determine the expected return for other postretirement assets (as described above), and with a modification to reflect applicable taxes, is used to produce the expected long-term rate of return for taxable postretirement trust assets.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Entergy Nuclear Operations investment guidelines mandate the avoidance of risk concentrations. Types of concentrations specified to be avoided include, but are not limited to, investment concentrations in a single entity, type of industry, foreign country, geographic area and individual security issuance. As of December 31, 2020, all investment managers and assets were materially in compliance with the approved investment guidelines, therefore there were no significant concentrations (defined as greater than 10 percent of plan assets) of risk in Entergy Nuclear Operations pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets.
Fair Value Measurements
Accounting standards provide the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (2) A Resubmission / / 2020 Schedule XIV-Notes to Financial Statements
- Level 1 - Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access at the measurement date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
- Level 2 - Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are, either directly or indirectly, observable for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Assets are valued based on prices derived by an independent party that uses inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, and issuer spreads. Prices are reviewed and can be challenged with the independent parties and/or overridden if it is believed such would be more reflective of fair value. Level 2 inputs include the following:
- quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
- quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
- inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or
- inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
If an asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
- Level 3 - Level 3 refers to securities valued based on significant unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a summary of the investments held in the master trusts for Entergys qualified pension and other postretirement plans in which the Registrant Subsidiaries participate.

(b) Common stocks, certain preferred stocks, and certain fixed income debt securities (government) are stated at fair value determined by quoted market prices.
(c) The common collective trusts hold investments in accordance with stated objectives. The investment strategy of the trusts is to capture the growth potential of equity markets by replicating the performance of a specified index. Net asset value per share of common collective trusts estimate fair value. Certain of these common collective trusts are not publicly quoted, and are valued by the fund administrators using net asset value as a practical expedient. Accordingly, these funds are not assigned a level in the fair value table, but are included in the total.
(d) Registered investment companies are money market mutual funds with a stable net asset value of one dollar per share. Registered investment companies may hold investments in domestic and international bond markets or domestic equities and estimate fair value using net asset value per share.
(e) Certain of these registered investment companies are not publicly quoted, and are valued by the fund administrators using net asset value as a practical expedient. Accordingly, these funds are not assigned a level in the fair value table, but are included in the total.
(f) The other remaining assets are U.S. municipal and foreign government bonds stated at fair value as determined by broker quotes.
(g) The unallocated insurance contract investments are recorded at contract value, which approximates fair value. The contract value represents contributions made under the contract, plus interest, less funds used to pay benefits and contract expenses, and less distributions to the master trust.
Estimated Future Benefit Payments
Based upon the assumptions used to measure Entergy Nuclear Operations pension and postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2020, and including pension and postretirement benefits attributable to estimated future employee service, Entergy Nuclear Operations expects that pension and other postretirement benefits to be paid and the Medicare Part D subsidies to be received over the next ten years are as follows (in thousands):
