comments on its draft ISG on DFPs for 

materials licensees. The purpose of this 

ISG is to provide NRC staff and industry 

with guidance based on developments 

and lessons learned regarding financial 

assurance since the last update to 

NUREG–1757, Volume 3. The ISG 

covers decommissioning cost estimates 

describing current facility conditions, 

evaluating events since the last DFP 

approval, and updates for certain 

financial instruments. The public 

comment period was originally 

scheduled to close on September 17, 

2018. The NRC has decided to extend 

the public comment period on this 

document until October 5, 2018, to 

allow more time for industry and 

members of the public to submit their 

comments.

EXEMPTION 

1.0 BACKGROUND 

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. 

(ENO or the licensee) is the holder of 

Facility Operating License No. DPR–28 

for the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power 

Station (VY) in Windham County, 

Vermont. The license provides, among 

other things, that the facility is subject 

to all rules, regulations, and orders of 

the Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC or the Commission) now or 

hereafter in effect. The facility now 

consists of a permanently shut down 

and decommissioning boiling water 

reactor and associated Independent 

Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). 

The licensee is in the process of 

transferring the remaining spent fuel 

from the spent fuel pool into dry storage 

canisters that are then placed in 

concrete overpacks and stored on the 

ISFSI pad. Concurrently, the licensee 

received, by letter dated July 25, 2018 

(Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS) 

Accession No. ML18165A423), NRC 

approval of a license amendment for 

implementation of a revised Physical 

Security Plan (PSP) to meet the security 

requirements of an ISFSI-only 

configuration for spent fuel storage at 

the site. The effective date of the ISFSIonly PSP approval is the date on which 

the licensee notifies the NRC in writing 

that all of the spent nuclear fuel 

assemblies have been transferred out of 

the spent fuel pool and have been 

placed in dry storage within the ISFSI. 

Implementation of the ISFSI-only PSP 

shall be within 90 days of the effective 

date of the approval of the amendment.

By letter dated May 24, 2018, and 

pursuant to 10 CFR 73.5, ‘‘Specific
