==Dear Sir:==

10 CFR 50.75(0(1) requires each power reactor licensee to report to the NRC by March 31, 1999, and every two years thereafter, on the status of its decommissioning funding for each reactor, or share of a reactor, that it owns. On behalf of Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 2 LLC, Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 3 LLC, Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee LLC, Entergy Nuclear Generation Company, and Entergy Nuclear FitzPatrick LLC, Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.
hereby submits the information requested for power reactors operated by Entergy Nuclear               A         (
Operations, Inc.                                                                                          U'0I 4,WZJ- 4" pasan"'o; Y-S

The estimated minimum decommissioning fund values were determined using the NRC's methodology in NUREG-1307 (Reference 1) and does not include activities outside of the scope of decommissioning as defined by 10 CFR 50.2.
Entergy will continue to monitor the status of the funds and will assure that we meet all NRC regulations and implement NRC guidance, as appropriate, to assure adequate funding for the decommissioning when required.
The information provided in Attachment 1 is based on NRC Regulatory Issue Summary 2001-07 (Reference 2).
There are no new commitments made in this letter. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Charlene Faison at 914-272-3378.
