Dear Sir or Madam:

On March 12, 2012, the NRC issued an order (Reference 1) to Entergy Operations, Inc.

(Entergy). Reference 1 was immediately effective and directs Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) to have a reliable indication of the water level in associated spent fuel storage pools.

Specific requirements are outlined in the Enclosure of Reference 1.

NL-13-043 Dockets 50-247 and 50-286 Page 2 of 2 Reference 1 requires submission of an Overall Integrated Plan by February 28, 2013. The NRC Interim Staff Guidance (Reference 2) was issued August 29, 2012, and endorses industry guidance document NEI 12-02, Revision 1 (Reference 3) with clarifications and exceptions identified in Reference 2. Reference 3 provides direction regarding the content of this Overall Integrated Plan. The purpose of this letter is to provide that Overall Integrated Plan pursuant to Section IV, Condition C.1.a, of Reference 1.

Reference 3, Appendix A-2 contains the specific reporting requirements for the Overall Integrated Plan. The enclosure to this letter provides IPEC's Overall Integrated Plan pursuant to Appendix A-2 of Reference 3. Reference 4 provided IPEC's initial status report regarding reliable spent fuel pool instrumentation, as required by Reference 1. Entergy has not yet identified any impediments to compliance with the Order, i.e., within two refueling cycles after submittal of the integrated plan, or December 31, 2016, whichever comes first. Future status reports will be provided as required by Section IV, Condition C.2, of Reference 1, and pursuant to Appendix A-2-3 of Reference 3 which will discuss any changes in compliance method, schedule, and any need for relief including basis.
