The NRC’s Orders dated July 28, 2008,
consented to the indirect transfer of
control of the licenses of the above
facilities pursuant to Section 50.80 of
Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations in connection with a
proposed corporate restructuring and
establishment of Enexus Energy
Corporation. By its terms, the Orders of
July 28, 2008, become null and void if
the license transfers are not completed
by July 28, 2009, unless upon
application and for good cause shown,
such date is extended by the
Commission.

2009, ENO, acting on behalf of itself,
Entergy Nuclear, ENIP2, ENIP3, EN–
FitzPatrick, EN–Vermont Yankee, and
EN–Palisades, submitted a request for
an extension of the effectiveness of the
Orders of July 28, 2008, such that they
would remain effective until January 28,
2010. According to the submittal,
diligent efforts have been made to
obtain the required State and Federal
regulatory approvals, and many of the
required approvals have been obtained.
However, proceedings are ongoing
before the New York State Public
Service Commission and the State of
Vermont Public Service Board and these
two State agencies may not complete
their regulatory approval processes in
time to complete the restructuring and
establishment of Enexus Energy
Corporation prior to July 28, 2009, as
required by the NRC Orders consenting
to the proposed restructuring and
associated indirect license transfers.
In addition, according to the
submittal, considerable progress has
been made in securing financing to
support the proposed transactions.
However, uncertainties in the current
financial markets and the need to obtain
required State regulatory approvals have
slowed the process of obtaining all of
the requisite financing necessary to
complete the transactions, making it
difficult for the licensees to conclude
that all of the necessary arrangements
will be complete in time to support a
closing of the transactions by July 28,
2009.
Finally, the licensee has concluded
that there has been no material change
in the technical and financial
qualifications presented in the original
application and relied upon by the NRC
staff under which the NRC issued the
Orders. According to the submittal, the
technical qualifications of the new
organization and other bases for
approving the transfers remain intact,
and the various inter-company
contractual arrangements and the
financial support arrangements, as
described in the original application
and supplemental information, remain
valid and fully support the NRC staff’s
findings.
On June 3, 2009, Mr. Sherwood
Martinelli submitted a request for
hearing regarding the extension, which
is currently pending before the
Commission.
The NRC staff has considered the
submittal of May 15, 2009, as
supplemented by letter dated May 29,
2009, and has determined that good
cause has been shown to extend the
effectiveness of the Orders of July 28,
2008, as requested.
