NRC Licensing Action/Exemption Status◦ Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT) License Amendment Request
(LAR) Entergy filed this LAR to change the current requirement in the ENVY Operating
License for providing NRC a 30-day notification prior to withdrawals to the NDT. State filed petitions to intervene before the ASLB
After a review of options, EVY withdrew the LAR on September 22, 2015. On October 15, 2015, the ASLB issued an order granting Entergy’s motion to
withdraw the LAR and imposed two (2) conditions: ENVY must provide written notice to Vermont of any new license amendment application
relating to the NDT at the time such application is submitted to the NRC. ENVY must specify in our withdrawal notifications whether the disbursement includes one
of the six line items or legal expenses. ENVY will continue to comply with its existing license conditions as well as the
new conditions and will continue to provide notifications to the NRC at least 30 days in advance of any withdrawals from the trust fund.
