CONFIRMATORY ORDER MODIFYING LICENSE (EFFECTIVE UPON ISSUANCE)

The licensees identified in Attachment 1 to this Confirmatory
Order hold licenses issued by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC or Commission) authorizing operation of nuclear power plants in
accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and Part
50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
``Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities.''
The term ``Entergy fleet'' or ``fleet'' refers to all nuclear
power plants identified in Attachment 1 to this Confirmatory Order.
The term ``Entergy'' refers to the following licensees: Entergy
Operations, Inc. and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. The term
``willful violations'' as defined in the NRC Enforcement Policy
encompasses conduct involving either a careless disregard for
requirements or a deliberate violation of requirements or
falsification of information.
This Confirmatory Order is the result of a preliminary
settlement agreement reached during an alternative dispute
resolution (ADR) mediation session conducted on February 6, 2018.

On November 5, 2015, the NRC's Office of Investigations (OI),
Region IV Field Office, opened an investigation (OI Case 4-2016-004)
at Entergy's Grand Gulf Nuclear Station to determine whether an
examination proctor willfully compromised examinations by providing
inappropriate assistance to trainees. On July 21, 2017, the
investigation was completed. On March 6, 2017, OI opened an
investigation (OI Case 4-2017-021) at Entergy's Grand Gulf Nuclear
Station to determine whether nonlicensed operators willfully failed
to tour all required areas of their watch station and willfully
entered inaccurate information into the operator logs. On August 25,
2017, the investigation was completed.
Based on the results of the investigations, the NRC identified a
total of three apparent violations that were being considered for
escalated enforcement action in accordance with the NRC Enforcement
Policy, which were documented in NRC letter dated November 20, 2017
(NRC Inspection Report 05000416/2017014). The apparent violations
included: (1) a failure to meet 10 CFR 50.120, ``Training and
qualification of nuclear power plant personnel,'' between January
and September 2015, in that, an examination proctor inappropriately
provided assistance on general employee training examinations to
non-utility (contractor) personnel; (2) a failure to meet 10 CFR
part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, ``Instructions, Procedures, and
Drawings,'' between February and December 2016, in that, three
nonlicensed operators failed to tour all required areas of their
watch station; and (3) a failure to meet 10 CFR 50.9, ``Completeness
and accuracy of information,'' between February and December 2016,
in that, three nonlicensed operators created inaccurate documents,
which indicated that their rounds had been performed when they had
not been completed.
By letter dated November 20, 2017, the NRC notified Entergy of
the results of the investigation, informed Entergy that escalated
enforcement action was being considered for the apparent violations,
and offered Entergy the opportunity to attend a predecisional
enforcement conference or to participate in an ADR mediation session
in an effort to resolve the concerns.
In response to the NRC's offer, Entergy requested the use of the
NRC's ADR process to resolve the concerns. On February 6, 2018, the
NRC and Entergy met in an ADR session mediated by a professional
mediator arranged through the Cornell University Scheinman Institute
on Conflict Resolution. The ADR process is one in which a neutral
mediator, with no decision-making authority, assists the parties in
reaching an agreement on resolving any differences regarding the
dispute. This Confirmatory Order is issued pursuant to the agreement
reached during the ADR process.

III

During the ADR session held on February 6, 2018, Entergy and the
NRC reached a preliminary settlement agreement. The elements of the
agreement include the following:

Violations

A. The NRC has concluded that deliberate violations of 10 CFR
50.120 occurred at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station between January and
September 2015, when general employee training examinations provided
to non-utility (contractor) personnel were inappropriately
proctored. In addition, the NRC has concluded that deliberate
violations of 10 CFR part 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, and 10 CFR
50.9 occurred between February and December 2016 when three
nonlicensed operators failed to tour all required areas of their
watchstation and falsified the rounds for their assigned area.
Entergy agrees with this conclusion.

Communications with Site Workers

B. Within 1 month of the issuance date of the Confirmatory
Order, a licensee senior executive at each Entergy site and the
corporate nuclear headquarters will communicate with workers the
circumstances leading to this Confirmatory Order, that willful
violations will not be tolerated, and, as a result, Entergy will be
undertaking efforts to confirm whether others are engaging in such
conduct at any of its sites. The communication will stress the
importance of procedural adherence, ensuring that documents are
complete and accurate, and of potential consequences for engaging in
willful violations. This message will be balanced with the
recognition that people do make mistakes and when that happens the
mistake will be identified and documented.
C. Entergy will conduct semi-annual communications with workers
in the Entergy fleet reemphasizing its intolerance of willful
misconduct and updating the workforce on the status of compliance
with this Confirmatory Order until December 31, 2019. Starting in
2020, Entergy will conduct annual training emphasizing its
intolerance of willful misconduct.

Causal Evaluation of Previous Corrective Actions to Deter Willful
Violations

D. Within 6 months of the issuance date of the Confirmatory
Order, Entergy will perform a causal evaluation, informed by site
evaluations, to determine why prior fleet-wide corrective actions
from Confirmatory Orders and other willful violations issued after
January 1, 2009, were not fully successful in preventing or
minimizing instances of willful misconduct across the fleet. The
causal evaluation will include the following elements:
1. Problem identification;
2. Root cause, extent of condition (including an assessment of
work groups that perform NRC-regulated activities to determine
whether those workers are engaging in willful misconduct), and
extent of cause evaluation;
3. Corrective actions, with time frame for their completion; and
4. Safety culture attributes.
E. Entergy will identify specific criteria necessary to perform
annual effectiveness reviews of the corrective actions. The annual
effectiveness reviews will include insights from fleet and
individual site performance. Entergy will perform annual
effectiveness reviews for 3 years. Entergy will modify its
corrective actions, as needed, based on the results of the annual
effectiveness reviews.
F. For the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, the evaluation described
in Element D will address the three violations which are the subject
of this ADR mediation session (refer to the NRC's letter dated
November 20, 2017).
G. Corrective actions identified as a result of the above
evaluations will be implemented within 18 months of completion of
the evaluation unless they involve a plant modification.

Organizational Health Survey

H. Within 12 months of the issuance date of the Confirmatory
Order, the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, as well as all Entergy fleet
sites, will conduct an organizational health survey developed by a
third-party and designed, in part, to identify safety culture
concerns that could contribute to willful misconduct.
I. A second organizational health survey will be conducted
within 18 months of completion of the survey in Element H.
J. If safety culture concerns are identified through the survey,
Entergy will initiate corrective actions to mitigate the likelihood
of willful misconduct occurring.

Notifications to the NRC When Actions Are Completed

K. Within 1 month of completion of Element D, Entergy will
submit written notification to the appropriate Regional
Administrators.
L. By December 31 of each calendar year from 2018 through 2020,
Entergy will provide in writing to the appropriate Regional
Administrators a summary of the actions implemented across the fleet
as a

[[Page 14522]]

result of this Confirmatory Order and the results of any
effectiveness reviews performed.
M. Upon completion, Entergy will submit in writing to the Region
IV Regional Administrator its basis for concluding that the terms of
the Confirmatory Order have been completed.

NRC Considerations for Future Enforcement Action

N. This Confirmatory Order does not affect other potential
future escalated enforcement actions, including ongoing
investigations by the NRC's Office of Investigations. However, as
part of its deliberations and consistent with the philosophy of the
Enforcement Policy, Section 3.3, ``Violations Identified Because of
Previous Enforcement Action,'' the NRC will consider enforcement
discretion for violations with similar root causes that occur prior
to or during implementation of the corrective actions specified in
the Confirmatory Order.

Administrative Items

O. The NRC and Entergy agree that the above elements will be
incorporated into a Confirmatory Order.
P. The NRC will consider the Confirmatory Order an escalated
enforcement action with respect to any future enforcement actions.
Q. In consideration of the elements delineated above, the NRC
agrees not to issue a Notice of Violation for the violations
discussed in NRC Inspection Report 05000416/2017014 and NRC
Investigation Reports 4-2016-004 and 4-2017-021 dated November 20,
2017, (EA-17-132 and EA-17-153) and not to issue an associated civil
penalty.
R. The press release will acknowledge that Entergy Operations,
Inc., identified the willful violations that are the subject of this
Confirmatory Order.
S. This agreement is binding upon successors and assigns of
Entergy.
On March 6, 2018, Entergy consented to issuing this Confirmatory
Order with the commitments, as described in Section V below. Entergy
further agreed that this Confirmatory Order is to be effective upon
issuance, the agreement memorialized in this Confirmatory Order
settles the matter between the parties, and that it has waived its
right to a hearing.

Because the licensee has agreed to take additional actions to
address NRC concerns, as set forth in Section III above, the NRC has
concluded that its concerns can be resolved through issuance of this
Confirmatory Order.
I find that Entergy's commitments as set forth in Section V are
acceptable and necessary, and conclude that with these commitments
the public health and safety are reasonably assured. In view of the
foregoing, I have determined that public health and safety require
that Entergy's commitments be confirmed by this Confirmatory Order.
Based on the above and Entergy's consent, this Confirmatory Order is
effective upon issuance.

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 104b, 161b, 161i, 161o, 182,
and 186 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the
Commission's regulations in 10 CFR 2.202 and 10 CFR part 50, IT IS
HEREBY ORDERED, THAT LICENSE NOS. DRP-51; NPF-6, NPF-29, DPR-26,
DPR-64, DPR-20, DPR-35, NPF-47 and NPF-38 ARE MODIFIED AS FOLLOWS:

Communications with Site Workers

A. Within 1 month of the issuance date of the Confirmatory
Order, a licensee senior executive at each Entergy site and the
corporate nuclear headquarters will communicate with workers the
circumstances leading to this Confirmatory Order, that willful
violations will not be tolerated, and, as a result, Entergy will be
undertaking efforts to confirm whether others are engaging in such
conduct at any of its sites. The communication will stress the
importance of procedural adherence, ensuring that documents are
complete and accurate, and of potential consequences for engaging in
willful violations. This message will be balanced with the
recognition that people do make mistakes and when that happens, it
is Entergy's expectation that its employees and contractors will
identify and document issues accordingly.
B. Within 6 months of the completion of Element A, Entergy will
conduct semi-annual communications with workers in the Entergy fleet
reemphasizing its intolerance of willful misconduct and updating the
workforce on the status of compliance with this Confirmatory Order
until December 31, 2019. Starting in 2020, Entergy will conduct
annual training emphasizing its intolerance of willful misconduct.

Causal Evaluation of Previous Corrective Actions to Deter Willful
Violations

C. Within 6 months of the issuance date of the Confirmatory
Order, Entergy will perform a causal evaluation, informed by site
evaluations, to determine why prior fleet-wide corrective actions
from Confirmatory Orders and other willful violations issued after
January 1, 2009, were not fully successful in preventing or
minimizing instances of willful misconduct across the fleet. The
causal evaluation will include the following elements:
1. Problem identification;
2. Root cause, extent of condition (including an assessment of
work groups that perform NRC regulated activities to determine
whether those workers are engaging in willful misconduct), and
extent of cause evaluation;
3. Corrective actions, with time frame for their completion; and
4. Safety culture attributes.
D. Entergy will identify specific criteria necessary to perform
annual effectiveness reviews of the corrective actions. The annual
effectiveness reviews will include insights from fleet and
individual site performance. Entergy will perform annual
effectiveness reviews for 3 years. Entergy will modify its
corrective actions, as needed, based on the results of the annual
effectiveness reviews.
E. For the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, the evaluation described
in Element C will address the three violations that are the subject
of this ADR mediation session (refer to the NRC's letter dated
November 20, 2017).
F. Corrective actions identified as a result of the above
evaluations will be implemented within 18 months of completion of
the evaluation unless they involve a plant modification.

Organizational Health Survey

G. Within 12 months of the issuance date of the Confirmatory
Order, the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, as well as all Entergy fleet
sites, will conduct an organizational health survey developed by a
third-party and designed, in part, to identify safety culture
concerns that could contribute to willful misconduct.
H. A second organizational health survey will be conducted
within 18 months of completion of the survey in Element G.
I. If safety culture concerns are identified through the survey,
Entergy will document and initiate corrective actions within 2
months of the concern identification to mitigate the likelihood of
willful misconduct occurring.

Notifications to the NRC When Actions Are Completed

J. Within 1 month of completion of Element C, Entergy will
submit written notification to the appropriate Regional
Administrators.
K. By December 31 of each calendar year from 2018 through 2020,
Entergy will provide in writing to the appropriate Regional
Administrators a summary of the actions implemented across the fleet
as a result of this Confirmatory Order and the results of any
effectiveness reviews performed.
L. Upon completion, Entergy will submit in writing to the Region
IV Regional Administrator its basis for concluding that the terms of
the Confirmatory Order have been completed.

NRC Considerations for Future Enforcement Action

This Confirmatory Order does not affect other potential future
escalated enforcement actions, including ongoing investigations by
the NRC's Office of Investigations. However, as part of its
deliberations and consistent with the tenets of the Enforcement
Policy, Section 3.3, ``Violations Identified Because of Previous
Enforcement Action,'' the NRC will consider enforcement discretion
for violations that meet the criteria for discretion under Section
3.3 of the Enforcement Policy.

Administrative Items

This agreement is binding upon successors and assigns of
Entergy. The NRC will consider the Confirmatory Order an escalated
enforcement action with respect to any future enforcement actions at
the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station only. The Regional Administrator,
Region IV, may, in writing, relax or rescind any of the above
conditions upon demonstration by Entergy of good cause.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.202 and 10 CFR 2.309, any person
adversely affected by

[[Page 14523]]

this Confirmatory Order, other than Entergy, may request a hearing
within 30 days of the issuance date of this Confirmatory Order.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending
the time to request a hearing. A request for extension of time must
be directed to the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, and include a statement
of good cause for the extension.
All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including a
request for hearing, a petition for leave to intervene, any motion
or other document filed in the proceeding prior to the submission of
a request for hearing or petition to intervene (hereinafter
``petition''), and documents filed by interested governmental
entities participating under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must be filed in
accordance with the NRC's E-Filing rule (72 FR 49139, August 28,
2007, as amended at 77 FR 46562, August 3, 2012). The E-Filing
process requires participants to submit and serve all adjudicatory
documents over the internet, or in some cases to mail copies on
electronic storage media. Participants may not submit paper copies
of their filings unless they seek an exemption in accordance with
the procedures described below.
To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least
10 days prior to the filing deadline, the participant should contact
the Office of the Secretary by e-mail at hearing.docket@nrc.gov, or
by telephone at 301-415-1677, to (1) request a digital
identification (ID) certificate, which allows the participant (or
its counsel or representative) to digitally sign submissions and
access the E-Filing system for any proceeding in which it is
participating; and (2) advise the Secretary that the participant
will be submitting a petition or other adjudicatory document (even
in instances in which the participant, or its counsel or
representative, already holds an NRC-issued digital ID certificate).
Based upon this information, the Secretary will establish an
electronic docket for the hearing in this proceeding if the
Secretary has not already established an electronic docket.
Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is
available on the NRC's public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/getting-started.html. Once a participant has
obtained a digital ID certificate and a docket has been created, the
participant can then submit adjudicatory documents. Submissions must
be in Portable Document Format (PDF). Additional guidance on PDF
submissions is available on the NRC's public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A filing is
considered complete at the time the document is submitted through
the NRC's E-filing system. To be timely, an electronic filing must
be submitted to the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern
Time on the due date. Upon receipt of a transmission, the E-Filing
system time-stamps the document and sends the submitter an e-mail
notice confirming receipt of the document.
The E-Filing system also distributes an e-mail notice that
provides access to the document to the NRC's Office of the General
Counsel and any others who have advised the Office of the Secretary
that they wish to participate in the proceeding, so that the filer
need not serve the document on those participants separately.
Therefore, applicants and other participants (or their counsel or
representative) must apply for and receive a digital ID certificate
before adjudicatory documents are filed so that they can obtain
access to the documents via the E-Filing system.
A person filing electronically using the NRC's adjudicatory E-
Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC's Electronic
Filing Help Desk through the ``Contact Us'' link located on the
NRC's Public Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html, by e-mail to MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a toll-
free call at 1-866-672-7640. The NRC Electronic Filing Help Desk is
available between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through
Friday, excluding government holidays.
Participants who believe that they have good cause for not
submitting documents electronically must file an exemption request,
in accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper filing
stating why there is good cause for not filing electronically and
requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper
format. Such filings must be submitted by: (1) first class mail
addressed to the Office of the Secretary of the Commission, U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention:
Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier, express mail, or
expedited delivery service to the Office of the Secretary, 11555
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland, 20852, Attention: Rulemaking
and Adjudications Staff.
Participants filing adjudicatory documents in this manner are
responsible for serving the document on all other participants.
Filing is considered complete by first-class mail as of the time of
deposit in the mail, or by courier, express mail, or expedited
delivery service upon depositing the document with the provider of
the service. A presiding officer, having granted an exemption
request from using E-Filing, may require a participant or party to
use E-Filing if the presiding officer subsequently determines that
the reason for granting the exemption from use of E-Filing no longer
exists.
Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in
the NRC's electronic hearing docket which is available to the public
at https://adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded pursuant to an Order
of the Commission or the presiding officer. If you do not have an
NRC-issued digital ID certificate as described above, click
``Cancel'' when the link requests certificates and you will be
automatically directed to the NRC's electronic hearing dockets where
you will be able to access any publicly available documents in a
particular hearing docket. Participants are requested not to include
personal privacy information, such as social security numbers, home
addresses, or personal phone numbers in their filings, unless an NRC
regulation or other law requires submission of such information. For
example, in some instances, individuals provide home addresses in
order to demonstrate proximity to a facility or site. With respect
to copyrighted works, except for limited excerpts that serve the
purpose of the adjudicatory filings and would constitute a Fair Use
application, participants are requested not to include copyrighted
materials in their submission.
The Commission will issue a notice or order granting or denying
a hearing request or intervention petition, designating the issues
for any hearing that will be held and designating the Presiding
Officer. A notice granting a hearing will be published in the
Federal Register and served on the parties to the hearing.
If a person (other than Entergy) requests a hearing, that person
shall set forth with particularity the manner in which his interest
is adversely affected by this Confirmatory Order and shall address
the criteria set forth in 10 CFR 2.309(d) and (f).
If a hearing is requested by a person whose interest is
adversely affected, the Commission will issue an order designating
the time and place of any hearings. If a hearing is held, the issue
to be considered at such hearing shall be whether this Confirmatory
Order should be sustained.
In the absence of any request for hearing, or written approval
of an extension of time in which to request a hearing, the
provisions specified in Section V above shall be final 30 days from
the date of this Confirmatory Order without further order or
proceedings. If an extension of time for requesting a hearing has
been approved, the provisions specified in Section V shall be final
when the extension expires if a hearing request has not been
received.
