SUBJECT:
Application for Order Consenting to Transfers of Control of Licenses and Approving Conforming License Amendments Indian Point Nuclear Generating Units 1, 2 and 3 Docket Nos. 50-3, 50-247, 50-286 and 72-051 Provisional Operating License No. DPR-5 Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-26 and DPR-64
Dear Sir or Madam:
In accordance with Section 184 of the Atomic Energy Act, as amended (the Act), Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.80, 10 CFR 50.90, and 10 CFR 72.50, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENOI), on behalf of itself, Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 2, LLC (ENIP2),
Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 3, LLC (ENIP3), Holtec International (Holtec), and Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC (HDI) (together, Applicants),* respectfully request that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) consent to: (1) the transfer of control of Provisional Operating License No. DPR-5 and Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-26 and DPR-64 for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2 & 3 (referred to individually as IP1, IP2, or IP3 and collectively as the Indian Point Energy Center or IPEC), as well as the general license for the IPEC Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) (collectively the Licenses), to Holtec subsidiaries to be known as Holtec Indian Point 2, LLC (Holtec IP2) and Holtec Indian Point 3, LLC (Holtec IP3); and (2) the transfer of ENOIs operating authority (i.e., its authority to conduct licensed activities at IPEC) to HDI. In addition, the Applicants request that the NRC approve conforming administrative amendments to the Licenses to reflect the proposed transfer of the Licenses from ENOI to HDI, Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3; and deletion of certain license conditions to reflect satisfaction and termination ENIP2 is the licensed owner of IP1 and IP2. ENIP3 is the licensed owner of IP3.
NL-19-084 / Page 2 of 6 of certain obligations after the license transfers. Enclosure 1 provides the basis for this request and the required documentation.
Approval of these transfers is sought to effectuate a transaction under which IPEC will be transferred to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holtec, Nuclear Asset Management Company, LLC (NAMCo), pursuant to the terms of a Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement (MIPA). Pursuant to the terms of the MIPA, the transaction would occur only after the permanent removal of fuel from the IP3 reactor. Just prior to the proposed transaction, Entergy will transfer all of the assets and liabilities of ENIP2 and ENIP3 to new entities that ultimately will become Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3. NAMCo will acquire the equity interests in the parent company of these companies, and through a merger, NAMCo will emerge as the direct parent company owner of Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3. As a result, control of the IPEC licenses will be transferred to Holtec. The MIPA and the proposed transaction have been approved by the boards of directors of both Entergy Corporation (Entergy) and Holtec.
Following the license transfers, Holtec IP2 will hold the owner licenses for IP1 and IP2, and Holtec IP3 will hold the owner license for IP3. In addition, HDI, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Holtec, will assume licensed responsibility for the IPEC units through transfers of ENOIs responsibility for licensed activities at IPEC to HDI. HDI is a special purpose entity formed by Holtec to be the licensed operator that will decommission nuclear power plants, including IPEC.
Because the transfers will not occur until after the docketing of ENOIs certifications of permanent cessation of operations and permanent removal of fuel from both reactor vessels (ENOI plans to permanently cease operations and permanently defuel IP2 approximately one year before it plans to permanently cease operations and permanently defuel IP3), the Part 50 licenses will no longer authorize operation of the reactors or emplacement or retention of fuel in the reactor vessels. Accordingly, HDIs licensed activities will involve possessing and disposing of radioactive material, maintaining the facility in safe condition (including storage, control, and maintenance of the spent fuel), decommissioning and decontaminating the facility, and maintaining the ISFSI until it can be decommissioned, each in accordance with the Licenses and the NRC regulations.
HDI will operate (i.e., conduct licensed activities at) IPEC. Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will enter into a Decommissioning Operator Services Agreement with HDI, which will provide for HDI to act as their agent and for Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 to pay HDIs costs of post-shutdown operations, including decommissioning costs and spent fuel management costs. This is an HDI regulatory commitment.
A simplified organization chart reflecting the current IPEC licensees and their owners is provided as Figure 1 following this letter. The planned ownership structure following the proposed transfers is depicted in Figure 2. These organization charts are simplified in that they only show the companies in the chain of ownership of the licensee entities before and after the proposed transfers. With the exception of certain excluded assets discussed in the enclosed Application for Consent to Transfers of Control of Licenses and Approval of Conforming License Amendments (Application), Holtec IP2 will own IP1 and IP2, and Holtec IP3 will own IP3. Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will also respectively own each units associated
NL-19-084 / Page 3 of 6 assets and real estate, including each units nuclear decommissioning trust fund (NDT), title to spent nuclear fuel, and rights pursuant to the terms of the Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High-Level Radioactive Waste with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
In addition, Holtec (through its subsidiary HDI) has formed Comprehensive Decommissioning International, LLC (CDI), a jointly-owned company with SNC-Lavalin Groups subsidiary, Kentz USA, Inc. CDI is majority-owned by HDI. Pursuant to a Decommissioning General Contractor Agreement between HDI and CDI and as shown on Figure 2, CDI will manage and perform the day-to-day activities, including decommissioning activities, to maintain compliance with the Licenses and NRC regulations, subject to HDIs direct oversight and control as the licensed operator.
The proposed license transfers are desirable and of considerable benefit to the citizens of New York, because they will result in the prompt decommissioning of IPEC and release of all portions of the site other than the ISFSI on an accelerated schedule, supported byexperienced personnel with expertise in decommissioning and spent fuel management. Following the license transfers, HDI plans to complete the transfer of spent nuclear fuel to the ISFSI as soon as practicable and to promptly proceed with decontamination and dismantlement of the site (other than the ISFSI).
The project goal for completing the radiological decommissioning, restoration and release for unrestricted use of the non-ISFSI portions is within fifteen years after the license transfers.
The projected NDT fund values at closing are expected to fully fund HDIs site-specific estimates of the radiological decommissioning costs. Further, HDIs cash-flow analyses based on site-specific decommissioning cost estimates for each IPEC unit demonstrate that the funds in the individual unit NDTs at closing will be sufficient to fund their respective radiological decommissioning costs through the expected license termination date, and thus demonstrates the financial qualifications of Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3.
The financial assurance required by 10 CFR 50.75, 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(vi), and 10 CFR 72.30(b) and (c) for decommissioning IPEC, including eventually the ISFSI, will be provided by Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 using the prepayment method in accordance with 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(i) and 10 CFR 72.30. As previously mentioned, Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will maintain NDTs with the assets from the existing IP1, IP2 and IP3 NDTs, which as of October 31, 2019 contained a total of approximately $2.1 billion.
HDI is financially qualified to be IPECs decommissioning licensed operator, because under the terms of the Decommissioning Operator Services Agreement between Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 and HDI, Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will be required to pay for HDIs costs of post-shutdown operation, including all decommissioning costs at IPEC.
Information supporting this request for consent and approval is provided in the enclosed Application. A mark-up of the proposed conforming amendments is included in the Application as Attachment A.
The assets also include the Provisional Decommissioning Trust for IP1 and IP2 (Provisional Trust).
For purposes of this Application, references to the NDTs include the Provisional Trust.
NL-19-084 / Page 4 of 6 In addition, the Application in Enclosure 1 provides information pertaining to the proposed transfers as required by 10 CFR 50.80. The referenced information demonstrates that: (1) the proposed transfers of the ownership interests to NAMCo, which will be the parent company of Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3, and the transfers of ENOIs decommissioning operator authorities under the Licenses to HDI will permit the prompt decommissioning of IPEC; (2) Holtec IP2, Holtec IP3, and HDI have the requisite managerial, technical, and financial qualifications to be the licensees for IPEC; (3) Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will provide reasonable assurance of funding for decommissioning of the facility, spent fuel management, and ISFSI decommissioning; (4) the material terms of the Licenses will not be affected; and (5) the license transfers will not result in any impermissible foreign ownership, control or domination.
HDI plans to decommission IPEC using the DECON method and plans to submit to the NRC a Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR), including a Site-Specific Decommissioning Cost Estimate (DCE), reflecting its decommissioning plans following the proposed transfers of the Licenses. The HDI PSDAR would become effective upon the transfer of the Licenses. In addition, because HDIs funding plan for spent fuel management and site restoration activities relies on the use of NDT funds, HDI plans to request an exemption to allow HDI to use of a portion of the NDT funds for these activities.
Subject to the satisfaction of all closing conditions, including receipt of all required regulatory approvals, the Applicants are targeting a transaction closing in May 2021, after IP3 has been permanently shut down and defueled. Accordingly, the Applicants respectfully request that the NRC review the enclosed Application on a schedule that will permit issuance of an order consenting to the transfer and approval of conforming license amendments as promptly as possible and in any event within 12 months from the date of application. The Applicants are prepared to work closely with the NRC to facilitate the review of the Application. The Applicants also request that the license amendments be made effective as of the date the transfers are completed. ENOI will notify the NRC staff at least 2 business days prior to the expected closing date for the transaction. This is a regulatory commitment.
There are certain regulatory filings and rulings beyond that of the NRC that must be made and obtained prior to the closing of the proposed transaction, including filings with the New York Public Service Commission. The Applicants will keep the NRC informed of any significant changes in the status of other required approvals or developments that could have an impact on the closing date.
In summary, the proposed transfers will neither have any adverse impact on the public health and safety, nor be inimical to the common defense and security. The proposed transfers will be consistent with the requirements of the Act, the NRC regulations, and the IPEC Licenses. The Applicants therefore respectfully request that the NRC consent to the transfers of the IPEC Licenses in accordance with 10 CFR 50.80 and 10 CFR 72.50 and issue the conforming license amendments requested herein pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90.
A separately bound Enclosure 1P of the Application contains the MIPA, which includes confidential commercial and financial information. The Applicants request that this information be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390, as described in the Affidavits provided in Attachment G to the Application. A redacted version of the MIPA, suitable for public disclosure, is in Attachment B to the Application.
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b)(1), a copy of this submittal has been sent to the State of New York.
NL-19-084 / Page 5 of 6 This Application contains regulatory commitments as noted in Attachment F to the Application.
In the event that the NRC has any questions about the proposed transaction described in this letter and in the Application or wishes to obtain any additional information about the transfers of the Licenses, please contact Phil Couture on behalf of ENOI at 601-368-5102 or pcoutur@entergy.com, or contact Andrea Sterdis on behalf of HDI at 856-797-0900, x3813 or a.sterdis@holtec.com.

- 1. INTRODUCTION In accordance with Section 184 of the Atomic Energy Act, as amended (the Act), Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.80, 10 CFR 50.90, and 10 CFR 72.50, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENOI), on behalf of itself, Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 2, LLC (ENIP2),
Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 3, LLC (ENIP3), Holtec International (Holtec), and Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC (HDI) (together, Applicants), respectfully request that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) consent to: (1) the transfer of control of Provisional Operating License No. DPR-5 and Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-26 and DPR-64 for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2 & 3 (referred to individually as IP1, IP2, or IP3 and collectively as the Indian Point Energy Center or IPEC), as well as the general license for the IPEC Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) (collectively the Licenses), to Holtec subsidiaries to be known as Holtec Indian Point 2, LLC (Holtec IP2) and Holtec Indian Point 3, LLC (Holtec IP3); and (2) the transfer of ENOIs operating authority (i.e., its authority to conduct licensed activities at IPEC) to HDI. In addition, the Applicants request that the NRC approve conforming administrative amendments to the Licenses to reflect the proposed transfer of the Licenses from ENOI to HDI, Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3; and deletion of certain license conditions to reflect satisfaction and termination certain obligations after the license transfers. These administrative changes are based on Amendment 61 to the IP1 Provisional Operating License and Amendments 291 and 266 to the IP2 and IP3 Renewed Facility Operating Licenses, respectively, and are shown in Attachment A to this enclosure.
The license amendments should be approved, but not issued until consummation of the transaction as described below. ENOI and HDI will notify the NRC at least two business days prior to the expecting closing date so that the conforming license amendments can be issued concurrently with the transaction closing. Subject to the satisfaction of all closing conditions, including receipt of all required regulatory approvals, the Applicants are targeting a transaction closing in May 2021, after IP3 has been permanently shut down and defueled.
Approval of these transfers is sought to effectuate a transaction under which IPEC will be transferred to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holtec, Nuclear Asset Management Company, LLC (NAMCo), pursuant to the terms of a Membership Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement (MIPA). Pursuant to the terms of the MIPA, the transaction would occur only after the permanent removal of fuel from the IP3 reactor. (ENOI plans to permanently cease operations and permanently defuel IP2 approximately one year before it permanently ceases operations and permanently defuels IP3.) Just prior to the proposed transaction, all of the assets and liabilities of ENIP2 and ENIP3 will be transferred to new entities that ultimately will become Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3. NAMCo will acquire the equity interests in the parent company of these companies, and following a merger, NAMCo will emerge as the direct owner of Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3. As a result, control of the IPEC licenses will be transferred to Holtec. The MIPA and the proposed transaction have been approved by the boards of directors of both Entergy Corporation (Entergy) and Holtec.
HDI will operate (i.e., conduct licensed activities at) IPEC. HDI was formed by Holtec to operate and decommission all Holtec-owned decommissioning nuclear power plant sites, including IPEC. HDIs mission is to assume licensed operator responsibilities for decommissioning nuclear power plants that Holtec acquires, including IPEC.
After the closing of the transaction and license transfers, Holtec IP2 will own IP1 and IP2, and Holtec IP3 will own IP3, as well as its associated assets and real estate with the exception of 1
certain excluded assets1. Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will also respectively own each units nuclear decommissioning trust fund 2 (NDT), title to spent nuclear fuel, and rights pursuant to the terms of the Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High-Level Radioactive Waste with the U.S. Department of Energy (Standard Contract). Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will continue to hold the NDT assets in trusts segregated from their other assets and outside of their administrative control.
HDI will contract with Comprehensive Decommissioning International, LLC (CDI), a company jointly formed and owned by Holtec and SNC-Lavalin Group, as the Decommissioning General Contractor. CDI is majority-owned by HDI. SNC-Lavalin holds its interest in CDI through a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, Kentz USA, Inc. Holtec and SNC-Lavalin have transferred employees into CDI. SNC-Lavalin has transferred commercial nuclear personnel and capabilities into CDI from other subsidiaries including Atkins Energy, Inc., which is based in Columbia, South Carolina. In addition, CDI has integrated experienced nuclear power plant personnel who were on-staff at the time of Holtecs purchase of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station and the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. Pursuant to a Decommissioning General Contractor Agreement between HDI and CDI, following license transfers, CDI will manage and perform the day-to-day IPEC activities, including decommissioning activities, in compliance with the licenses and the NRC regulations, subject to HDIs direct oversight and control as the decommissioning licensed operator and majority owner of CDI.
A copy of the MIPA is provided in a separately bound Addendum as Enclosure 1P. This version contains confidential commercial and financial information that should be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390. A redacted version of the MIPA, suitable for public disclosure, is Attachment B to the Application.
- 2. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE OF THE TRANSFERS AND NATURE OF THE TRANSACTION MAKING THE TRANSFERS NECESSARY OR DESIRABLE A. Purpose and Description of the License Transfer The IPEC units are pressurized water nuclear reactors located in Buchanan, New York, in Westchester County on the eastern banks of the Hudson River. IP1 ceased operations on October 31, 1974. Units 2 and 3 are licensed to generate 3216 MWt each, and generate 1078 MWe and 1080 MWe, respectively. By letter dated February 8, 2017, ENOI notified the NRC that it had decided to permanently cease operations at IP2 by April 30, 2020 and to permanently cease operations at IP3 by April 30, 2021.
Following approval from the NRC and upon the closing of the transaction, Holtec IP2 will own IP1 & IP2, and Holtec IP3 will own IP3 pursuant to the terms of the MIPA. As such, Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will have licensed responsibility for IPEC as the licensed owners. Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will enter into a Decommissioning Operator Services Agreement for decommissioning services with HDI, which provides for HDI to act as their agent and for Holtec 1
The excluded assets consist of certain insurance premium refunds and distributions, intellectual property, certain excess inventory and equipment.
2 This includes the Provisional Decommissioning Trust for IP1 and IP2 (Provisional Trust). For purposes of this Application, references to the NDTs include the Provisional Trust.

IP2 and Holtec IP3 to pay for all of HDI's costs of decommissioning, spent fuel management, and site restoration. This is a regulatory commitment. A copy of the form of Decommissioning Operator Services Agreement is provided as Attachment E.
HDI will become the IPEC licensed operator for decommissioning, and CDI will perform day-to-day activities at the site, including decommissioning activities, pursuant to the Decommissioning General Contractor Agreement between HDI and CDI, subject to HDIs direct oversight and control as the licensed operator. HDI is structured to function similarly to the fleet operating entity that exists in many current nuclear industry utilities with a fleet of operating units, including the current IPEC structure. Pursuant to the terms of the MIPA, closing of the transaction cannot occur until the satisfaction of several conditions, including ENOIs certification pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(ii) that fuel has been permanently removed from the IP2 and IP3 reactor vessels have been docketed, which is expected to occur within a few weeks after cessation of operations of each unit.
A simplified organization chart reflecting the current IPEC licensees and their owners is provided as Figure 1 to the letter accompanying this Application. The planned ownership following the proposed transfers is depicted in Figure 2. The Figure 2 ownership structure developed by Holtec to support the intended acquisition of multiple decommissioning nuclear power plant sites is based on the typical organization structure for many current nuclear utility fleets. Nuclear Asset Management Company (NAMCo) is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Holtec formed to be the management company for all Holtec-owned decommissioning nuclear power plant sites, including the IPEC site. These organization charts are simplified in that they only show the companies in the chain of ownership of the licensee entities before and after the proposed transfers.
HDIs contractual relationship with CDI (as the Decommissioning General Contractor) is also depicted on Figure 2. CDI has been formed to provide an organization that performs safe and efficient decommissioning of the anticipated Holtec fleet of decommissioning nuclear power plant sites. CDI will efficiently and effectively incorporate lessons-learned and best practices as well as technology and process improvement as sites are decommissioned.
Additional detail is provided in Section 5 regarding the technical qualifications of HDI and CDI.
B. Nature of the Transaction Making the License Transfer Desirable The purpose of the transfers of the Licenses is to permit the prompt decommissioning of IPEC.
The transfers are desirable and of considerable benefit to the citizens of New York, because the transfers will result in the decommissioning of the IPEC site and unrestricted release of all portions of the site, other than the ISFSI, on an accelerated schedule. HDIs goal is to complete radiological decommissioning, restoration, and release for unrestricted use for the non-ISFSI portions of the site (a partial site release) within fifteen years following license transfer, as compared with sixty years under continued Entergy ownership if Entergy were to select a sixty-year SAFSTOR approach.
HDI plans to submit a Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR), including a Site-Specific Decommissioning Cost Estimate (DCE), reflecting its plans for accelerated decommissioning (i.e., DECON) following the proposed transfer of the Licenses. The HDI PSDAR will become effective upon transfer of the IPEC licenses to HDI. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(4)(i), HDIs PSDAR will describe the planned decommissioning activities to be undertaken, along with a schedule for their accomplishment, an estimate of expected costs, and 3
an evaluation of environmental impacts consistent with the projections provided in Attachment D to this application.
The license transfers effectuating this acquisition will place IPEC in a well-supported organization specifically focused on and experienced with spent fuel management and decommissioning. In the event that this Application is not approved, or if the transaction does not close, the HDI PSDAR and DCE would be ineffective, and ENOI would submit its own PSDAR and DCE.
Under the terms of the proposed transaction, HDI plans to complete the transfers of spent nuclear fuel in the spent fuel pools to the ISFSI as soon as practicable and will proceed with decontamination and dismantlement of the IPEC site (other than the ISFSI). HDIs goal is to complete radiological decommissioning, restoration, and release for unrestricted use for the non-ISFSI portions of the site within a planned fifteen-year period following the license transfers.
Importantly, the transaction will place responsibility for licensed activities with organizations whose core businesses are focused on radiological decommissioning and spent fuel management. Holtec is an industry leader in the development of spent fuel management technologies and has developed proto-prompt decommissioning, which enables used fuel to be placed in dry storage in as little as two years after the reactor is shutdown. In addition, HDI will contract with its strategic partners in order to take advantage of contractors that have decommissioning experience and knowledge of best practices.
HDI will engage CDI, a company formed and jointly owned by Holtec and SNC-Lavalin as the decommissioning general contractor to perform the site day-to-day activities, including decommissioning the plant, pursuant to a Decommissioning General Contractor Agreement between HDI and CDI. Pursuant to this Decommissioning General Contractor Agreement and subject to HDIs direct oversight and control as the licensed operator, CDI will perform decommissioning activities safely and securely in support of HDIs responsibility to maintain the plant in compliance with the licenses and NRC regulations. However, HDI will, at all times, be responsible for possessing and disposing of radioactive material, maintaining the facility in a safe condition (including handling, storage, control, and protection of spent fuel),
decommissioning and decontaminating the facility, and maintaining the ISFSI until it can be decommissioned. HDI will retain ultimate decision-making authority and provide direct governance and oversight of CDIs performance, thereby fulfilling its licensed responsibilities as the decommissioning licensed operator. HDI plans to fill the on-site leadership position of the IPEC Site Vice President with an incumbent IPEC senior manager. HDI is managed by Holtec senior staff to provide the requisite managerial capabilities and decision-making authority within the licensed organization, while CDI is staffed with a combination of Holtec and SNC-Lavalin personnel who have considerable nuclear experience, including experience in spent fuel handling and decommissioning. In addition, CDI transitioned experienced nuclear power plant personnel from Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station and Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station at the time Holtec acquired these decommissioning sites. As of the transaction closing, CDI will become the employer of ENOI employees in the IPEC Decommissioning Organization, thereby further adding to CDIs expertise.
CDI plans to enter into subcontracts with nuclear industry vendors with decommissioning experience to complete various decommissioning activities. Subcontractor and vendor selection will be made consistent with customary industry vendor evaluation and selection processes.

- 3. GENERAL CORPORATE INFORMATION REQUIRED BY 10 CFR 50.33(A)-(D)
Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will be direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of NAMCo, which is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Holtec Power, Inc. (Holtec Power). HDI is also a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Holtec Power. Holtec Power is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Holtec. Figure 2 illustrates the corporate ownership structure following the license transfer.
Upon completion of the transaction and license transfer, Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will be the licensed owners of IPEC, while HDI, as licensed operator, will provide the overall management of the decommissioning of nuclear plants, including IPEC.
The general corporate information required by 10 CFR 50.33(d)(3) regarding Holtec, Holtec Power, NAMCo, Holtec IP2, Holtec IP3, and HDI, including identification of their principal officers and directors, is provided in Attachment C to the Application. Holtec is the ultimate parent company of the proposed licensee entities. Holtec is a privately held corporation and is controlled by its Board of Directors, all of whom are U.S. citizens. It is owned by its shareholders as follows: (i) The Great Banyan Trust, 36.33% ownership interest; and (ii) Multi-Decades Trust, 63.67% ownership interest. These trusts are controlled by Dr. Krishna Singh.
- 4. FOREIGN OWNERSHIP, CONTROL, OR DOMINATION Holtec is a privately held corporation and is controlled by its Board of Directors, all of whom are United States citizens. The Directors are ultimately appointed by Holtecs owners, which are trust companies organized in the State of Florida that are controlled by a U.S. citizen. Holtec has been U.S.-owned since its inception in 1986 without any non-U.S. control or domination.
Holtec Power, NAMCo, Holtec IP2, Holtec IP3, and HDI are all directly or indirectly under Holtecs control, and all of the directors and executive committee members as identified in Attachment C to the Application are U.S. citizens. Although Holtec performs work in foreign countries, the contractual arrangements to provide products and services do not result in any foreign ownership, control or domination of the Holtec organization or its subsidiaries or contracts. The activities conducted in foreign countries are ultimately controlled by U.S.
citizens. As such, Holtec and the licensee entities will not be owned, controlled, or dominated by any foreign person.
5
As the licensed entity with possession of and responsibility for direct oversight, control, and decommissioning of IPEC, HDI will act for itself and on behalf of Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 as their agent. HDI, Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 are not acting as the agent or representative of any other entity in the proposed transfer of the Licenses.
CDI is jointly owned by HDI and SNC-Lavalin. HDI is the majority owner of CDI and controls CDI. SNC-Lavalin, a company based in Montreal, Quebec Canada, is a publicly traded company on the Toronto Stock Exchange. CDIs role is defined as the Decommissioning General Contractor pursuant to a contract between HDI and CDI. CDI will not be the licensed owner or operator of any plant and will not have direct access to the IPEC decommissioning trust funds. CDI will perform decommissioning activities pursuant to its contract with HDI, subject to HDIs direct oversight and control. There is no prohibition against a company with foreign minority ownership performing licensed activities at U.S. nuclear reactors. Therefore, notwithstanding CDIs foreign minority ownership and engagement as the decommissioning operations contractor, Holtec and the licensee entities proposed for IPEC will not be owned, controlled, or dominated by any foreign person.

C. Comprehensive Decommissioning International CDI is a company jointly owned by HDI, and SNC-Lavalin Groups subsidiary, Kentz USA, Inc.
CDI is majority owned by HDI. CDI was formed with the strategic goal of creating an organization with a deep pool of decommissioning knowledge and experience to perform decommissioning of nuclear power plants. CDI operates as an autonomous business entity reporting to a board consisting of executives from SNC-Lavalin and Holtec. The activities of CDI are managed by its President, who reports directly to the CDI Management Board. CDI is headquartered at the KPS Technology Campus in Camden, NJ.
11
CDI is HDIs Decommissioning General Contractor (DGC) for the Oyster Creek and Pilgrim nuclear power stations and will be the DGC for the IPEC site if the Licenses are transferred.
Under HDIs direct oversight and control, CDI will perform the day-to-day activities at the site, including decommissioning the plant, pursuant to a Decommissioning General Contractor Agreement between HDI and CDI. As discussed earlier, HDI is managed by Holtec senior staff to provide the requisite managerial capabilities and decision-making authority within the licensed organization.
CDI personnel include professionals sourced from its parent companies who have considerable nuclear experience, including experience in spent fuel handling and decommissioning, as well as the experienced nuclear power plant personnel at the Oyster Creek and Pilgrim nuclear stations who transitioned to CDI when Holtec acquired those decommissioning sites. CDIs capabilities will be further enhanced by the addition of incumbents from the IPEC site, who will transition to CDI following the license transfer.
CDI is also able to draw on the considerable bench strength of its parent organizations.
Holtecs capabilities and experience have already been highlighted above. Subsidiaries and legacy companies of SNC-Lavalin played a significant role in the past or ongoing U. S. and international decommissioning projects, and have performed many clean-up projects for the U.S. Department of Energy as well as at Fukushima. SNC-Lavalin also owns the CANDU reactor technology and supports these plants throughout the world.
CDIs experienced nuclear management team will ensure compliance with the requirements of the facility Licenses and NRC regulations. CDI has personnel with extensive in-depth experience in decommissioning a wide variety of nuclear power plants, research reactors, and other facilities in technical areas including ALARA, nuclear security, waste management, dismantlement, project management, regulatory compliance and environmental protection. CDI employs a management approach that will ensure efficient and effective decontamination and decommissioning planning, preparation and execution; a safety-conscious work environment; day-to-day industrial safety, radiological protection, radioactive waste handling and management rigor; effective corrective action program implementation; performance reporting, monitoring and metrics; personnel performance; and financial controls. Key CDI personnel planned to assume roles with regulatory significance are shown on Figure A-1. Resumes for the key CDI personnel expected to fill the positions depicted in Figure A-1 are included in Attachment C to the Application.
CDI will establish a site decommissioning organization. CDI plans to employ the ENOI IPEC Decommissioning Organization site personnel remaining at the site at the time of the transaction closing, with the exception of one incumbent senior manager, who will become an HDI employee as the Site Vice President in charge of the site-based organization.
In addition to employees transferred from Holtec and SNC-Lavalin, CDI staffing will include ENOI IPEC Decommissioning Organization incumbent staff who, at license transfer, will be integrated into the CDI decommissioning organization in a manner consistent with their expertise and previous positions as part of the ENOI IPEC Decommissioning Organization.
CDIs team of experts along with incumbent personnel retained from the plant will form a seamless organization operating under a common set of processes and procedures.
The integrated site decommissioning organization will provide:
12
x A single CDI site Decommissioning General Manager who reports to the HDI Site Vice President and is accountable to HDI for overall management, leadership, performance, nuclear safety, QA, and employee safety.
x Several key managers who report to the CDI Decommissioning General Manager, who have responsibilities for radiological safety, spent fuel management, industrial health and safety, project administration and financial services, training, labor relations, fuel storage, regulatory affairs, quality assurance, licensing, environmental, decontamination and decommissioning, engineering, operations, waste operations, and project controls.
This organization provides an experienced nuclear management team with control over activities to maintain the site within the requirements of the facility Licenses and perform decommissioning operations under HDIs direct oversight and control.
x Implementation of industry high standards, best practices, effective programs and processes, and management controls.
x Effective and integrated oversight and technical support functions.
CDI will perform the day-to-day activities at the site to maintain compliance with the Licenses and NRC regulations, subject to HDIs direct oversight and control as the licensed operator.
Under HDIs direction, CDIs principal mission will be to maintain and decommission IPEC in full compliance with the QA and safety programs adopted for the plant. CDI will be responsible, under the direct oversight and control of HDI, for the plants safety, regulatory compliance, security, ALARA, and environmental protection requirements. CDI will be subject to continuous oversight by HDI for regulatory and procedural compliance, as well as expenditure control.
D. Transfer of ENIP2, ENIP3 and ENOI Assets, Knowledge, and Incumbent Staff Prior to transaction closing, Entergy and HDI are developing and implementing a transition plan to facilitate a smooth transfer of licensed and decommissioning responsibilities at IPEC. Prior to the license transfers, HDI management, along with HDI and CDI department leads, will verify completion of the transition plan. Holtec and its affiliates have been actively engaged with Entergy in decommissioning planning to ensure that upon license transfer, HDI and CDI can successfully maintain compliance with the facility Licenses and NRC regulations and begin executing the DECON strategy.
As discussed above, HDI plans to hire a current IPEC incumbent senior manager as the IPEC Site Vice President for decommissioning. In addition, incumbent ENOI IPEC Decommissioning Organization personnel at the time of license transfer who accept offers of employment will be integrated into the CDI site organization. These personnel will continue to be located at the IPEC site with clear and well-defined roles and responsibilities based largely on their pre-transfer roles and responsibilities. Incumbent staffing levels will be based on the permanent shutdown and defueled status of the station immediately prior to the license transfer.
Staffing levels at the time of transfer will be fully compliant with the requirements of the facility Licenses and NRC regulations. HDI will ensure that positions filled by incumbent employees that are vacated due to attrition are backfilled with qualified personnel, subject to a determination of the need to fill the position. The need for these staff positions required by the facility Licenses will reduce over time as fuel cools, fuel is moved to the ISFSI, and the facility Licenses are amended. The attrition strategy includes filling vacant positions with other 13
qualified employees, hiring from the community of retired IPEC employees, assigning qualified personnel from the HDI and CDI parent companies, and seeking qualified personnel from industry staff augmentation firms. In all cases, the individuals will be qualified to IPECs programs and procedures, as applicable.
Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will maintain the assets that will be needed to maintain the IPEC site in accordance with NRC requirements and the facility Licenses. These assets will include, in addition to the structures and equipment, the necessary books, records, safety and maintenance manuals, and engineering construction documents.
ENOI policies, programs, procedures, and work instructions applicable to IPEC as of the transfer will be adopted in their current state, with minimal or no revisions or substitutions, and HDI and CDI will continue to work in accordance with those documents following the post-license transfer, consistent with the Governance plans discussed further below. The existing IPEC programs and procedures at the time of the license transfers, including the emergency plan, security plans, fire protection program, radiological protection, certified fuel handler training, and QA program will also be implemented post-license transfer. Any subsequent changes to these procedures will be determined by HDI and made in accordance with NRC regulations, including 10 CFR 50.59, 50.54(a), 50.54(p), 50.54(q), 50.48(f), and 50.71(e).
E. Strategic Partner Experience and Expertise As previously discussed, HDI will leverage the experience and expertise of the Holtec and SNC-Lavalin teams. The CDI joint owners have substantial expertise that will support the safe, efficient, and compliant decommissioning of IPEC.
In addition to the CDI owners and their affiliates, CDI (pursuant to the Decommissioning General Contractor Agreement) will subcontract with industry vendors who have consistently demonstrated expertise in dismantlement and decommissioning in the nuclear field.
Subcontractors will be selected by the HDI and CDI team using industry vendor evaluation and selection vetting processes. Among the key criteria used in subcontractor evaluation and vetting processes are:
x Recent experience (responsiveness, contractual probity, with the vendors performance in other relevant projects with Holtec, SNC-Lavalin and their subsidiaries) x Technical capability to render the tasks specified in the requests for proposals (RFP) x Safety record x Strength of QA infrastructure (For Safety-Significant RFPs only) x Prior record of adherence to quality x Prior record of schedule compliance x Availability of qualified resource (personnel, machinery, etc.)
x History of adverse NRC notices such as Notice of Violation, Confirmatory Action Letter, etc.
x Outcome of Holtec QA audit (if applicable) 14
x Input from recent peer audits such as those by Nuclear Procurement Issues Committee (NUPIC), if available.
x Record of 10 CFR Part 21 filing on the subcontractors goods and services x Quality of subcontractors Corporate Governance x Reputation and caliber of sub-contractors executive team x Pricing x Financial Health HDI and CDI emphasize vendor selection as a significant activity that has a direct consequence on mitigating project risk.
F. HDIs Ability to Conduct Licensed Activities at Multiple Sites To ensure that HDI's management and technical support organization will have sufficient resources (i.e., corporate structure, management and technical support organization staff capacities, internal procedures, etc.) to conduct licensed activities at multiple sites, HDI is using a fleet model to manage and conduct the decommissioning of its shutdown nuclear power plants, which currently include the Oyster Creek and Pilgrim plants. In particular, the HDI decommissioning fleet corporate organization infrastructure is based on a Governance, Oversight, Support and Performance (GOSP) management model, and each of the model principles are discussed in further detail below. In summary, this fleet model provides for efficiency by establishing standard processes, procedures, and approaches at the corporate level and at the decommissioning sites, similar to the model used by many operating plant fleets. In addition, each of HDIs decommissioning sites have dedicated leadership reporting to the same HDI corporate executive team and sufficient technical support from the CDI site organizations mainly made up of experienced incumbents and supplemented as needed by additional Holtec and SNC-Lavalin resources. Note also that the scope of HDI's licensed responsibilities at each site, while just as important, will be much smaller in scope than at an operating site and will primarily be maintaining the facility in a safe condition (including the storage, control and maintenance of the spent nuclear fuel), possessing and disposing of radioactive material, decommissioning and decontaminating the site, and maintaining the ISFSI until the spent nuclear fuel is removed from the site and the ISFSI can be decommissioned.
HDI has implemented the management model described below for its current fleet, which includes Oyster Creek and Pilgrim, and will apply the same model to IPEC upon the license transfers.
Governance HDI has implemented governance procedures at both the HDI corporate level and at the site level. At the corporate level, for example, HDI has implemented a procedure related to control of trust fund withdrawals that apply at all sites for which it is the licensed operator, to ensure consistency and increase efficiencies. At the site level, HDI has initially adopted the former licensee's applicable existing policies, programs, and procedures, with minimal to no revisions or substitutions, which will ensure a seamless transition after license transfer. As decommissioning progresses at the sites, HDI intends to make changes to the site governance documents in accordance with NRC regulations, with the overall goal of standardizing site governance documents across the HDI fleet as much as practicable. This approach allows efficiency in oversight and the application of site-specific lessons-learned and operating experience to the other sites in the HDI fleet.
15
Oversight The executive leadership team at the HDI corporate level oversees the safety, operation, and decommissioning at the Oyster Creek and Pilgrim sites. The corporate executive leadership team consists of the HDI Vice President of Engineering; Chief Financial Officer; Executive Director of Global Security; Vice President of Regulatory and Environmental Affairs; Vice President of Technical Support; Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer; Vice President of Quality Assurance and Nuclear Oversight; President and Chief Nuclear Officer; and the Holtec Executive Committee (see organization chart provided as Figure A-1). The HDI Site Vice President at each site further supports the corporate executive teams oversight over HDIs sites. HDI holds meetings with the HDI Site Vice Presidents and the HDI corporate executive leadership team to share experience for efficiency and support in implementation and improvement. These oversight activities will apply to IPEC upon license transfer. The corporate HDI and CDI executive team is structured and staffed in anticipation of supporting multiple sites planning and decommissioning activities, with the capacity to expand as needed, as HDI continues to expand its nuclear decommissioning business.
Support The onsite organizations include incumbent plant staff who were retained at license transfer.
Additional support during multiple decommissioning projects is provided by the CDI corporate organization, which has ready access to technical and project resources as needed if issues arise, because of its affiliation with both Holtec International and SNC-Lavalin, its large corporate parents.
Performance The performance, or implementation, function for the GOSP model at each site is primarily achieved through CDI, although the CDI staff at each site performing most of the regulatory required functions following license transfer have been retained from the former licensee.
Specifically, HDI worked with CDI to retain the incumbent personnel, with special emphasis on the senior leadership and plant operating experts, in place at each nuclear plant at the time of license transfer. These incumbent plant experts who are and have been responsible for conducting the activities to maintain the plant in a safe and compliant condition, will bring vast amounts of site history, knowledge and experience to the team. These incumbent nuclear professionals are experienced in owning, maintaining and executing the existing policies, programs and procedures. These incumbent senior leadership and plant operating experts, along with additional existing plant staff that are retained in the organization at license transfer, are supplemented by experts in decommissioning and dismantlement to fully round out successful and experienced teams at each site.
As reflected in Figure A-1, each site has its own HDI Site Vice President. In addition, separate management teams employed by CDI, but under HDI's direction and control, report to the Site Vice President. These include separate Decommissioning General Managers, as well as separate managers for the various functional areas. The establishment of separate management teams for each site allows appropriate, direct, supervision of the decommissioning activities at each site.
G. Conclusion HDI provides a management team that is experienced and qualified, and an organization that is well-designed to oversee and control the decommissioning of the site in accordance with NRC requirements. The necessary management processes and controls will be applied, with clear lines of authority and communication. In addition, HDI is supported by the experience and 16
expertise of the CDI team and both HDI and CDIs corporate parents and affiliates and will ensure the safe, efficient, proper, and expeditious decommissioning of the IPEC site. The HDI management teams knowledge and experience, further supported by the specific skills, qualifications and knowledge of the CDI organization, will allow HDI to achieve synergies and management efficiencies at IPEC, as well as expedite the expected date of site release (with the exception of the ISFSI) for unrestricted use. In addition, HDI will use the GOSP fleet model to manage and conduct the decommissioning of the IPEC site to ensure that its management and technical support organization have sufficient resources (i.e., corporate structure, management and technical support organization staff capacities, internal procedures, etc.) to conduct licensed activities at multiple sites. For these reasons, HDI has the necessary technical qualifications to safely perform the decontamination and decommissioning of the IPEC site.
- 6. FINANCIAL QUALIFICATIONS A. Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 The transaction will be structured such that, on the closing date, NAMCo will acquire 100% of the equity interests in new entities that hold the assets and liabilities of ENIP2 and ENIP3.
These licensed owners will be known as Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3. The IP1 and IP2 nuclear decommissioning trust funds, including the Provisional Trust, (NDTs) will be maintained by Holtec IP2, and the IP3 trust will be maintained by Holtec IP3. Each of these companies will maintain the trust funds segregated from their other assets and outside their administrative control, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1).
Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will be responsible for funding the costs of decommissioning, spent fuel management and site restoration. Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will be financially qualified to fund HDIs possession, maintenance, and decommissioning of IPEC, including the ISFSI.
Because HDI will not be authorized under the facility Licenses to operate or load fuel in the reactor pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2), HDI will not conduct any of the operations contemplated by the financial qualification provisions of 10 CFR 50.33(f)(2). Rather, all of its licensed activities will involve possession of radioactive material in connection with maintaining the safe condition of the plants, decommissioning the IPEC site (including the ISFSI), and maintaining the ISFSI until it can be decommissioned. Thus, the existing decommissioning trust funds provide the appropriate basis for the financial qualifications of Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3.
Prior to the license transfers, ENOI plans to transfer the funds in its NDT for IP3 to the NDT held by ENIP3. ENOI will provide the NRC with thirty working days prior notice of this disbursement from the ENOI NDT, as required by 10 CFR 50.75(h)(1)(iv). At the time of the license transfers, the existing trust fund assets for IP1 and IP2, including those in the Provisional Trust, will be transferred to Holtec IP2, and the existing trust funds for IP3 will be transferred to Holtec IP3.
As of October 31, 2019, the trust funds had a combined market value of approximately
$2.1 billion.
HDI has analyzed the expected costs of decommissioning, including the projected annual cash flows, based on a site-specific decommissioning cost estimate. This cash flow analysis, which is included as Attachment D to this Application, demonstrates that the projected fund values at closing will be sufficient to pay for all radiological decommissioning costs through the expected license termination date.
The financial assurance required by 10 CFR 50.75, 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(vi), and 10 CFR 72.30(b) and (c) for decommissioning the facility will be provided by Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 17
using the prepayment method. The HDI plan is to fund all spent fuel management costs following license transfer using the NDTs, pursuant to the NRCs approval of an exemption from 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A), which HDI is submitting separately from this Application.
Based upon its ability to fund decommissioning costs and spent fuel management costs from the NDTs, Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will be financially qualified to remain the licensed owners.
HDI will be financially qualified, because under the terms of its operating agreement, Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will be required to pay for HDIs costs of operation relating to IPEC, including decommissioning and spent fuel management costs.
HDI has prepared Attachment D to the Application, Schedule & Financial Information for Decommissioning, which provides financial projections for the duration of the IPEC decommissioning project and shows that the amount of the decommissioning trust funds in the IPEC NDTs projected at the time of transfer will be adequate to fund the costs of decommissioning IPEC, spent fuel management, and site restoration including the eventual costs for decommissioning the ISFSI. The right to draw on the source of funds described herein and the pro forma projected costs for the planned decommissioning period set forth in Attachment D to the Application provide the requisite financial information for this license transfer request consistent with 10 CFR 50.33(f)(2).
The annualized expense analysis in Attachment D to the Application shows that the assumed amounts in the IP1, IP2 and IP3 NDTs at closing with a credit for projected earnings assumed at a 2 percent real rate of return are sufficient to fund the entire estimated cost of decommissioning, spent fuel management, and site restoration of all three IPEC units. The annualized cash flows are conservative in that they do not take credit for any proceeds Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 expect to recover from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through litigation or settlement of its claims for the spent fuel management costs it will incur as a result of the DOEs breach of its obligations to dispose of IPECs spent nuclear fuel. Thus, the availability to Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 of the assets in the NDTs satisfies the prepayment method of providing decommissioning funding assurance pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(i),
provides funding assurance for spent fuel management by satisfying 10 CFR 50.54(bb), and satisfies the prepayment method of providing ISFSI decommissioning funding assurance pursuant to 10 CFR 72.30.
Holtecs IP1, IP2 and IP3 cost estimates are based upon a detailed, site-specific cost estimate that provides costs for each projected work activity based upon a Level 4 Work Breakdown Structure. These estimates provide a conservative and realistic estimate of expected costs.
Additionally, Holtecs breakdown of work and cost estimates incorporate subcontractor estimates for reactor segmentation and waste removal. For large contracts, the selected contractors, including affiliates, will be required to post performance bonds (or insurance, where appropriate) issued by Treasury-rated surety companies to guarantee performance of work scope to ensure the work is performed at the specified costs.
HDI will rely on some of the NDT funds to provide funding for spent fuel management and site restoration costs, as proposed in a Holtec exemption request from 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) to allow the use of the IP1, IP2 and IP3 NDT funds for spent fuel management and site restoration costs under a DECON approach. The exemption request is being submitted separately. As will be discussed in the exemption request, the NDTs contain funds in excess of the amounts needed to complete radiological decommissioning, and preventing Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 from using these funds for spent fuel management and/or site restoration is not necessary to achieve the purposes of 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and would create an undue. Allowing the 18
NDTs to be used for spent fuel management and site restoration will have no impact on Holtecs ability to decommission and release all portions of the site other than the ISFSI, as demonstrated by the cash flow analyses in Attachment D to the Application.
HDIs site-specific cost estimate for IP3 license termination activities ($583.2 million as shown in Attachment D) exceeds the minimum financial assurance (MFA) amount calculated pursuant to the NRCs generic formula in 10 CFR 50.75(c) ($521.8 million, as reported by ENOI in its March 28, 2019 Decommissioning Funding Status Report (ADAMS Accession No. ML19087A162) (ENOI Report)). IP1 permanently ceased operations in 1974, and has been in decommissioning status for 45 years. Accordingly, no comparison between the site-specific estimate and the MFA amount is necessary for IP1. At the time of license transfer, IP2 will have been permanently shut down and in decommissioning status for at least one year.
During that period, decommissioning costs will have been incurred and accrued on the IP2 NDT. To the extent that a comparison between the site-specific cost estimate and the MFA amount is necessary for a unit that has been permanently shut down for over one year, HDIs site-specific estimate for IP2 radiological decommissioning costs ($469.5 million, as shown in Attachment D) is less than the MFA amount ($521.8 million, as reported in the ENOI Report).
Of note is that at project completion, there is a projected remaining IP2 NDT balance of $72.7M (as shown in Attachment D). However, the use of HDIs site-specific estimate in the review of the Application is justified, because HDIs site-specific DCE reflects an actual, detailed estimate of decommissioning costs. As the Commission explained when it promulgated 10 CFR 50.75, the formula amount represented a first step in establishing a general level of adequate financial responsibility early in life. 53 Fed. Reg. 24,018, 24,030 (June 27, 1988). By contrast, as discussed in Attachment D, HDIs site-specific cost estimate of the costs that HDI expects to incur after license transfer is based on IPEC-specific plant data and historical information, actual site conditions, regulatory requirements applicable to IPEC, basis of estimate assumptions, low-level radioactive waste disposal standards, and available pricing data. Therefore, it is significantly more reliable and more precise than the formula amount, which is based on generic inputs.
B. Holtec Decommissioning International Under the terms of a Decommissioning Operator Services Agreement with HDI, Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will be obligated to fund HDI's Price for Services. Price for Services is defined in Section 9 of the Decommissioning Operator Services Agreement to include all of HDIs costs arising out of or associated with HDIs operation and maintenance of IPEC in accordance with the NRC facility Licenses, which includes, without limitation, HDIs decommissioning costs and spent fuel management costs. A copy of the form of the Decommissioning Operator Services Agreement is provided as Attachment E to the Application. HDI, therefore, will be financially qualified based upon the financial qualifications of Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3.
- 7. RESTRICTED DATA AND CLASSIFIED NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION The proposed transfer of ownership and operating authority does not involve any Restricted Data or possession of other Classified National Security Information, and it is not expected that possession of any such information will become involved in the licensed activities of Holtec IP2, Holtec IP3 and HDI. However, in the event that such information does become involved, and in accordance with 10 CFR 50.37, Agreement Limiting Access to Classified Information, Holtec IP2, Holtec IP3 and HDI agree that they will appropriately safeguard such information 19
and will not permit any individual to have access to such information until the individual has been appropriately approved for access under 10 CFR Part 25, Access Authorization and/or 10 CFR Part 95, Facility Security Clearance and Safeguarding of National Security Information and Restricted Data.
- 8. OTHER NUCLEAR REGULATORY ISSUES A. Price-Anderson Indemnity and Nuclear Insurance Holtec IP2, Holtec IP3 and HDI request that the NRC amend the Price-Anderson indemnity agreement for IPEC to: (1) replace ENIP2 and ENIP3 with Holtec Indian Point 2, LLC and Holtec Indian Point 3, LLC, respectively; and (2) replace ENOI with Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC as a licensee for the facility, in order to name HDI, Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 as indemnified entities upon the consummation of the proposed transfers of the Licenses.
Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will obtain onsite property damage insurance coverage and offsite nuclear liability coverage as required by the NRC, and prior to the license transfer, ENOI and HDI will provide proof that this coverage will be in place on the effective date of the transfers.
This is a regulatory commitment.
B. Standard Contracts for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel Upon closing, Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will hold title to the spent nuclear fuel at IPEC and will maintain the DOE Standard Contracts, including all rights and obligations under those contracts.
Standard Contract, No. DE-CR01-83NE44373, dated as of June 17, 1983, and Standard Contract, No. DE-CR01-83NE-44407, dated as of June 20, 1983 were entered into by the previous owners and the United States of America, represented by the DOE, to govern the disposal of the spent nuclear fuel generated at IPEC. Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 expect to recover from the DOE through litigation or settlement of its claims for the spent fuel management costs they will incur as a result of the DOEs breach of its obligations to dispose of IPECs spent nuclear fuel. Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3 will have exclusive responsibility under the Licenses for costs of the possession, maintenance, and decommissioning of IPEC, which includes the responsibility to the NRC to provide funding for spent fuel management and the maintenance and security of the ISFSI.
C. Exclusion Area Control Upon approval of the transfer, HDI will have control over the IPEC exclusion area and will have authority to determine all activities within the exclusion area to the extent required by 10 CFR Part 100.
D. Quality Assurance Program Upon closing of the transaction and transfer of the Licenses, HDI will assume authority and responsibility for the functions necessary to fulfill the QA requirements of the IPEC Technical Specifications and as specified in the IPEC Quality Assurance Program Manual (QAPM) in place at the time of license transfer. The IPEC QAPM will be added as an Appendix to the Holtec QA program and specified as applicable to the IPEC site. As the site decommissioning status evolves, HDI will use NRC-approved change processes, including 10 CFR 50.54(a), to revise the QA program to address the site changes and the activities being performed.
20
E. No Significant Hazards Consideration The changes proposed for the Licenses are shown in Attachment A to this Application. The changes conform the Licenses to reflect the proposed transfer of authority and responsibility for licensed activities under the Licenses to HDI and reflect ownership by Holtec IP2 and Holtec IP3. Consistent with the generic determination in 10 CFR 2.1315(a), the proposed conforming license amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, because they do no more than conform the Licenses to reflect the proposed transfer action.
The proposed license amendments do not involve any change in the design or licensing basis, plant configuration, status of IPEC, or the requirements of the Licenses.
Therefore, the proposed action does not: (1) involve an increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously analyzed; (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from the accidents previously analyzed; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
- 9. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The requested consent to transfers of licensed owner and operator authority for IPEC is exempt from environmental review, because it falls within the categorical exclusion contained in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(21) for which neither an Environmental Assessment nor an Environmental Impact Statement is required. Moreover, the proposed transfers do not directly affect the actual maintenance or decommissioning of the shutdown facility in any substantive way, other than changing the timeframe for conducting certain activities. The proposed transfers do not involve an increase in the amounts, or a change in the types, of any radiological effluents that may be allowed to be released off-site and involves no increase in the amounts or change in the types of non-radiological effluents that may be released off-site. Further, there is no increase in the individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure other than that associated with the differences between the SAFSTOR (if Entergy were to select this approach) and DECON methods, and the proposed transfers have no environmental impact. Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed change.
- 10. EFFECTIVE DATE AND OTHER REQUIRED REGULATORY APPROVALS Subject to the satisfaction of all closing conditions, including receipt of all required regulatory approvals, the Applicants are targeting a transaction closing in May 2021, after IP3 has been permanently shut down and defueled. Accordingly, the Applicants request that the NRC review this Application on a schedule that will permit issuance of an order consenting to the transfers and approving conforming license amendments as promptly as possible and in any event within 12 months of the date of this Application. The Applicants request that the consent be immediately effective upon issuance and authorize the transfers to occur up to one year after issuance or such later date as the NRC may authorize. ENOI will notify the NRC staff at least two business days prior to the expected closing date for the transaction.
Certain regulatory filings and findings beyond that of the NRC must be made and obtained prior to the closing of the proposed transaction, including filings with the New York Public Service Commission. The Applicants will keep the NRC informed of any significant changes in the 21
status of other required approvals or developments that could impact the anticipated closing date.
- 11. CONCLUSION The proposed license transfers will be consistent with the requirements of the Act, NRC regulations, and regulatory guidance. The transfers of the Licenses will not be inimical to the common defense and security and do not involve foreign ownership, control, or domination.
Therefore, the Applicants respectfully request that the NRC issue an Order (1) consenting to the proposed license transfers related to Provisional Operating License No. DPR-5, Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-26 and DPR-64, and the ISFSI general license, and (2) approving the conforming license amendments.

Without reducing either Partys obligations under this Section 6.4(f), if within one (1) year of the date of this Agreement, the Parties have received reasonable indication from the relevant Government Authorities or regulatory processes that an enforceable and binding State Agreement cannot be obtained, Purchaser agrees to negotiate in good faith to consider alternative forms of commitments from the state. Sellers and Purchaser shall have the right to review in advance all Filings and Consents contemplated under this Section 6.4(f), (including any Filing or Consent made by Sellers or the Companies that may affect Purchasers Decommissioning activities after Closing) including all characterizations of the information relating to the Contemplated Transactions which appear in any Filing or Consent requests made in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, and the filing or requesting Party shall consider in good faith any revisions reasonably requested by the other Parties prior to submission of such Filing or Consent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Sellers may participate in pending proceedings, or proceedings in the ordinary course, that are not directly related to the 34 EAST\164092225.33

(h) Each of Sellers and Purchaser shall (i) give the other Party prompt notice of the commencement or threat of commencement of any Action by or before any Governmental Authority with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, (ii) keep the other Party informed as to the status of any such Action or threat and (iii) reasonably cooperate in all respects with each other and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to contest and resist any such Action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Contemplated Transactions; provided, however, that this clause (iii) shall not apply to any Required Operating Order. In connection with the Required Regulatory Approvals and State Agreement, no Purchaser Party shall settle any Action that would bind any Seller or would be adverse to the interests of Sellers or their Affiliates or enter into any consent or order that would bind any Seller or would be adverse to the interests of Sellers or their Affiliates without the consent of Sellers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In connection with the Required Regulatory Approvals and State Agreement, no Seller shall settle any Action that would bind any Purchaser Party or, after the Closing, the Companies, or would be adverse to the interests of Purchaser or its Affiliates without the consent of Purchaser, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including with respect to the matters contemplated by this Section 6.4, no Seller nor any of such Sellers Affiliates, including the Companies, shall be required to agree to, consent to or accept any term or condition to, or take any action in connection with, obtaining any of the Required Regulatory Approvals or State Agreement (each a Regulatory Commitment) if such Regulatory Commitment, (i) individually or together with all other Regulatory Commitments, would be material in an adverse manner to Sellers or any of their Affiliates or (ii) would impose any Liability or obligation on any Seller or any of such Sellers Affiliate or its respective businesses after the Closing (either (i) or (ii), a Sellers Burdensome Condition); provided, however, any Regulatory Commitments of Sellers or Sellers Affiliates included in the initial regulatory Filings shall not be taken into account in determining a Sellers Burdensome Condition.
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including with respect to the matters contemplated by this Section 6.4, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates, including, after the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, the Companies, shall be required to agree to, consent to, accept or take any Regulatory Commitment if such 35 EAST\164092225.33
Regulatory Commitment, individually or together with all other Regulatory Commitments, would materially and adversely affect the economic and business benefits of the Contemplated Transaction to Parent and Purchaser, such adverse effects to be compared against the Initial Regulatory Commitments and the other Regulatory Commitments Purchaser agrees to include in the initial regulatory Filings (a Purchaser Burdensome Condition); provided, however, that the Regulatory Commitments Purchaser agrees to include in the initial regulatory Filings and consistent with the Initial Regulatory Commitments shall not be deemed to constitute and shall not be taken into account in determining a Purchaser Burdensome Condition.

During the Interim Period, the Purchaser Parties, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall each promptly, but in any event within ten (10) days, notify the other in writing of the occurrence or discovery of any change or event, described in reasonable detail, that would constitute a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the advising or other Party under this Agreement such that the Closing conditions in Article 8 hereof would not be satisfied. All such updated notices shall be delivered to the other Party in writing. Except as provided for in Section 6.14(a) with respect to any Schedule Update by Sellers, (a) if the Party in potential breach (the First Party) advises the other Party (the Second Party) of any such matter with respect to the First Party, within ten (10) days thereof the First Party may give written notice of its intent to cure such matter and shall thereafter have sixty (60) days to so cure; provided, however, that if the First Party does not give such notice or fails to cure within such period, then the Second Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice within forty-five (45) days following such period in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 10.1(e) or Section 10.1(f), as the case may be; and (b) if the Second Party advises the First Party of any such matter with respect to the First Party, within ten (10) days the First Party may give written notice of its intent to cure such matter and shall thereafter have sixty (60) days to so cure; provided, however, that if the First Party does not give such notice or fails to cure within such period, then the Second Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice within forty-five (45) days following such period in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 10.1(e) or Section 10.1(f), as the case may be.

as appropriate, with respect to all of the obligations of Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Companies) under the Entergy Affiliate Guarantees such that Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Companies) may terminate the Entergy Affiliate Guarantees upon notice, without further obligation to or by Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Companies); provided that Sellers and their Affiliates shall not be required to pay any consideration or make any post-Closing commitments with respect to (i) and (ii), unless with respect to payment of consideration only, Purchaser commits in writing to promptly reimburse Sellers for such payment.

Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Entergy Affiliate Guarantees may be amended or otherwise modified by Sellers during the Interim Period otherwise in compliance with this Agreement and that additional Entergy Affiliate Guarantees may be provided by Affiliates of the Companies in connection with the ownership or operation of the Companies or the Facilities and that Sellers shall supplement Section 6.10(c) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedules from time to time prior to the Closing to reflect the same. In the event that any Entergy Affiliate Guarantee remains outstanding after the Closing (including in the event that Sellers elect to waive the Closing condition in Section 8.3(e)), Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Companies) and their respective representatives from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, obligations, payments, costs, Taxes and expenses (including the costs and expenses of any and all actions, suits, proceedings, assessments, judgments, settlements and compromises relating thereto and reasonable attorneys fees and reasonable disbursements in connection therewith) incurred by Sellers or any of their Affiliates or their respective representatives arising out of or relating to the Entergy Affiliate Guarantees from and after the Closing.

Subject to this Section 6.10(e), at the Closing, Purchaser and the Companies will assume all Multi-Party Contracts that are not Excluded Multi-Party Contracts (the Included Multi-Party Contracts). Prior to the Closing and until such time as the following amendments are obtained, Sellers shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to amend the Excluded Multi-Party Contracts to remove the Companies as parties thereto, and to sever, modify and assign to the Companies effective (or retroactive) upon the 41 EAST\164092225.33

In the event the counterparties to any Multi-Party Contract do not consent or agree to such amendment, severance, modification and assignment or termination at or prior to the Closing, from all times after the Closing (i) each Company and the Seller Affiliates that are a party to such Multi-Party Contract shall continue to perform and discharge their respective obligations under such Multi-Party Contract and (ii) (A), in the case of an Included Multi-Party Contract, without the prior consent of the Companies (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the relevant Seller Affiliate shall take no action (or fail to take any action) under, or in connection with, such Included Multi-Party Contract if such action (or failure to take any action) would reasonably be expected to result in any costs, expenses, other Liability to, or additional obligation of, the Companies and (B), in the case of an Excluded Multi-Party Contract, without the prior consent of Sellers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Companies shall take no action (or fail to take any action) under, or in connection with, such Excluded Multi-Party Contract if such action (or failure to take any action) would reasonably be expected to result in any material costs, expenses, other Liability to, or additional obligation of, Sellers or any of their Affiliates under such Multi-Party Contract; provided, however, that in the event that the counter-parties to any such Excluded Multi-Party Contract do not consent or agree to remove the Companies as parties thereto prior to the Closing, (x) from and after the Closing, or the completion or delivery of any such goods or services, as applicable, the Companies shall not be entitled to any further benefit under such Excluded Multi-Party Contract (other than to enforce any rights of the Companies arising under such Excluded Multi-Party Contract for events, facts, or circumstances occurring prior to the Closing or the completion or delivery of such goods or services), and (y) the Companies shall continue to perform and discharge their obligations under such Excluded Multi-Party Contract until such obligations are fulfilled (except to the extent such payments are subject to or result from the payments and adjustments set forth in Section 6.21 or Section 6.22); provided, the Companys payment obligations, from and after the Closing, shall be limited to the extent of the equipment, goods, or services received by such Company from and after the Closing; provided further, to the extent any Company is required to provide any equipment, goods, or services in connection with an Excluded Multi-Party Contract for the benefit of a Seller Affiliate, such Company will be compensated by such Seller Affiliates under the payment terms of the contract or at the fair market value of the equipment, goods, or services, whichever is greater (except to the extent such payments are subject to or result from the payments and adjustments set forth in Section 6.21 or Section 6.22). Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate with Sellers with respect to obtaining any of the amendments contemplated by this Section 6.10(e).
For the avoidance of doubt, the limitation in the proviso in Section 6.4(a) shall apply to Sellers and its Affiliates obligations under this Section 6.10(e).
(f) In the event that any Entergy Affiliate Guarantee remains outstanding after the Closing (including in the event that Sellers elect to waive Section 8.3(e)), Purchaser shall continue to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts from and after the Closing to (i) obtain a full and unconditional release, novation, termination, return or discharge of all of the obligations of 42 EAST\164092225.33
Sellers and their Affiliates (other than the Companies) under the Entergy Affiliate Guarantees, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Sellers or (ii) obtain substitute guaranties, letters of credit or other credit support as are necessary to secure such release, novation, termination, return or discharge; and (iii) Purchaser shall not permit the Companies to (A) renew or extend the term of, (B) increase the obligations under or (C) transfer to a Third Party, any loan, lease, contract or other obligation for which Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Companies) are or would be liable under the Entergy Affiliate Guarantees. To the extent that Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Companies) have performance obligations under the Entergy Affiliate Guarantees, Purchaser shall (1) perform such obligations on behalf of Sellers or such Affiliates or (2) otherwise take such action as reasonably requested by Sellers so as to put Sellers or such Affiliates in the same position as if Purchaser, and not Sellers or such Affiliates, had performed or was performing such obligations.

(a) It is acknowledged by the Parties that Sellers, certain of Affiliates of Seller, and the Companies have had the legal counsel set forth on Section 12.3 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedules (Sellers Counsel) to act as their counsel in connection with the Contemplated Transactions and that each Sellers Counsel have not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the Contemplated Transactions for conflict of interest or any other purposes. The Purchaser Parties and the Companies agree that any attorney-client privilege and 109 EAST\164092225.33
the expectation of client confidence attaching as a result of each Sellers Counsels or any other legal counsels representation of Sellers (or its other Affiliates) and the Companies related to the preparation for, and negotiation and consummation of, the Contemplated Transactions, including all communications among Sellers Counsel and Sellers, the Companies and/or their respective Affiliates in preparation for, and negotiation and consummation of, the Contemplated Transactions, shall survive the Closing and shall remain in effect. Furthermore, effective as of the Closing, (i) all communications (and materials relating thereto) between the Companies, on the one hand, and any Sellers Counsel or any other legal counsel or financial advisor, on the other hand, related to the preparation for, and negotiation and consummation of, the Contemplated Transactions are hereby assigned and transferred to Sellers, (ii) the Companies hereby release all of their rights and interests to and in such communications and related materials, and (iii) the Companies hereby release any right to assert or waive any privilege related to the communications referenced in this Section 12.3.

Further, the Purchaser Parties and the Companies agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between the Purchaser Parties or the Companies and Sellers or any of their Affiliates, each Sellers Counsel may represent Sellers or their Affiliate in such dispute even though the interests of Sellers or their Affiliate may be directly adverse to the Purchaser Parties or the Companies and even though such Sellers Counsel may have represented the Companies in a matter substantially related to such dispute.
(c) The Purchaser Parties acknowledge that any advice given to or communication with Sellers or any of their Affiliates (other than the Companies) shall not be subject to any joint privilege and shall be owned solely by Sellers or their Affiliates. The Purchaser Parties and the Companies each hereby acknowledge that each of them has had the opportunity to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Agreement, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than Sellers Counsel.
Section 12.4 110 EAST\164092225.33
Section 12.5 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified and supplemented in any and all respects any time prior to or after the Closing with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement; provided that, subject to Section 6.14, any such amendment, modification or supplement shall be effective only if it is set forth in an instrument in writing executed by each Party.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby. The waiver by a Party of a breach of any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or waiver of any similar term or provision of this Agreement.
Section 12.7 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any Party, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of each other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);
provided, however, that Sellers may assign all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement prior to Closing to a subsidiary or Affiliate of Sellers without consent of Purchaser, in connection with any internal restructurings or changes in corporate form. Nothing in this Agreement shall be intended (except as specifically provided in Section 6.11 (Indemnification of Directors and Officers), Section 7.1 (Tax Indemnification), Section 9.2 (Indemnification) and 111 EAST\164092225.33
Section 12.2 (Disclaimers; As-Is Sale; Release; Acknowledgement; Due Diligence; Non-Recourse)) to confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights, interests, obligations or remedies hereunder. Any assignment in contravention of this Section 12.7 shall be null and void and without legal effect on the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder.
Section 12.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other Party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware).
Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 12.8, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS.
Section 12.9 Specific Performance.
(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Purchaser Parties, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction, or injunctions, to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other (as applicable) and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement exclusively in any state or federal court within the State of Delaware and this right shall include the right of Sellers to cause the Contemplated Transactions to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions thereto set forth in this Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief sought in accordance with this 112 EAST\164092225.33
Section 12.9 on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any Party seeking an injunction, or injunctions, in accordance with this Agreement to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. If any Party brings any action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement by any other Party, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such action is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action.
(b) For the avoidance of doubt, a Party may contemporaneously commence an action for specific performance and seek any other form of remedy at Law or in equity that may be available for breach under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions (including monetary damages). If a court of competent jurisdiction has declined to specifically enforce the obligations of the Purchaser Parties or Sellers to cause the Contemplated Transactions to be consummated pursuant to a claim for specific performance brought against the Purchaser Parties or Seller Parties, as the case may be, in connection with this Agreement, any award of damages may be granted by such court for such breach by the Purchaser Parties in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2 (Effect of Termination)
Section 12.10 Change in Law; Alternative Structures.
(a) Except with respect to the matters described in Section 12.10(b), if, and to the extent that, any Law governing any aspect of this Agreement shall change so as to make any aspect of the Contemplated Transactions unlawful, then the Parties shall make such modifications to this Agreement as may be reasonably necessary for this Agreement to accommodate any such changes, to the extent it is possible to do so without materially changing the overall benefits or consideration expected hereunder by any Party.
(b) In the event any Governmental Authority (i) issues a final and non-appealable order denying any of the Required Regulatory Approvals or (ii) issues a Final Order that has become non-appealable that contains a Purchaser Burdensome Condition that has not been waived by Sellers and Purchaser or a Sellers Burdensome Condition that has not been waived by Sellers, in the event of either (i) or (ii), the Parties agree to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to negotiate in good faith for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed the earlier of thirty (30) Business Days or the Termination Date, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties) an alternative structure (including any modifications to this Agreement) that would place the Parties in the same economic position in order to obtain such Required Regulatory Approval (or, to the extent permitted under Law, so that such Required Regulatory Approval is not required to consummate the Contemplated Transactions) or to mitigate such Purchaser Burdensome Condition or Sellers Burdensome Condition such that the terms and conditions of such Final Order, when taken together with such modifications, no longer give rise to or have the effect of a Purchaser Burdensome Condition or Sellers Burdensome Condition, as the case may be. Nothing in this Section 12.10(b) shall limit the obligations of the Parties under 113 EAST\164092225.33
Section 6.4 or require Purchaser or Sellers to accept a Purchaser Burdensome Condition or require Sellers to accept a Sellers Burdensome Condition, as the case may be.

The articles, section and schedule headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the Parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Any item or other matter referenced or disclosed in one section of the Sellers Disclosure Schedules or Purchaser Disclosure Schedules, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have been referenced or disclosed in all sections of such Schedule where such reference or disclosure is required.
Section 12.12 Schedules and Exhibits. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Exhibits and Schedules referred to herein are intended to be and hereby are specifically made a part of this Agreement. Any fact or item disclosed on any Schedule to this Agreement shall be deemed disclosed with respect to each other Schedule to this Agreement to the extent that such disclosure includes sufficient detail to enable a Party to reasonably identify the relevance of such fact or item to such other Schedule to which it applies. Any fact or item disclosed on any Schedule hereto shall not by reason only of such inclusion be deemed to be material and shall not be employed as a point of reference in determining any standard of materiality under this Agreement.
Section 12.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including the Exhibits, Schedules, documents, certificates and instruments referred to herein or therein, embody the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the Contemplated Transactions and shall supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

ENCLOSURE 1 ATTACHMENT D SCHEDULE & FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR DECOMMISSIONING (14 PAGES)
HDI INDIAN POINT NUCLEAR GENERATING STATIONS 1, 2 AND 3 DECOMMISSIONING COST ESTIMATING BASES HDI used IP1, IP2 and IP3 plant data and historical information obtained from ENOI in addition to the input and professional judgment of experienced decommissioning, demolition and waste management specialty subcontractors and subject matter experts (SMEs). This estimate is based on regulatory requirements, site conditions, basis of estimate assumptions, low-level radioactive waste disposal standards, high-level radioactive waste management options, and site restoration requirements. The methods utilized to estimate decommissioning costs were based on experienced SME assessments regarding the nature of the work, the degree of scope definition, and the availability of quantifiable cost and pricing data.
HDI used ENOI estimates of the type and quantity of waste as a reference condition and increased specific waste streams to reflect the HDI decommissioning approach. HDI used this data to perform a disposition analysis to determine the type, size, and quantity of waste containers required. Disposal facilities were selected, pricing was confirmed, and various methods of transportation to the disposal facility were evaluated. Transportation logistics were structured to ensure that the overall shipping strategy would be efficient and balanced with respect to container utilization, transport cycles and support for shipping during peaks in demolition activities.
HDI reviewed the estimates of costs associated with license termination in NUREG/CR-5884, Revised Analyses of Decommissioning for the Reference Pressurized Water Reactor Power Station, in order to evaluate the reasonableness of the HDI IP1, IP2 and IP3 decommissioning estimates. The HDI estimated costs for Indian Point Nuclear Generating Units 1, 2 and 3 license termination, spent fuel management and site restoration were benchmarked against similar estimates of dismantlement, demolition and waste management activities for other HDI decommissioning projects.
The estimated total costs to decommission IP1, IP2 and IP3 are summarized below in millions of 2019 dollars.
Indian Point Unit 1: $598 Indian Point Unit 2: $702 Indian Point Unit 3: $1002 This estimate includes provisions for site restoration as well as the storage of spent fuel and Greater Than Class C (GTCC) wastes on the IP1, IP2 and IP3 site until acceptance by the Department of Energy. Escalation of future decommissioning costs over the remaining decommissioning project lifecycle are 0% based on assuming a 2% Real Rate of Return (RRR).
