65) The costs of maintaining and operating Entergys ISFSIs are no t matters of public record.Consequently, this information must be obtained from Entergy.

onclusionThe substance of NRCs inquiry regarding the financial qualification of Entergy NuclearOperations and Entergy Nuclear FitzPatrick is at its core an inquiry into Entergy NuclearOperations control of Entergy s merchant nuclear reactors, and Entergy Nuclear PowerMarketings control over the revenues from selling the electric power that these reactors produce.It is critical for public confidence and NR s regulatory credibility that the agency investigate,understand, and report its findings regarding the financial structures as they pertain to the ability

of Entergys corporate subsidiaries to safely operate, maintain, and decommission FitzPatrickand the other subject merchant nuclear facilities.If there are questions, or if OAG could assist in any other way, please contact this office.
