U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission LIC-19-0005 ENCLOSURE 1 OMAHA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT FORT CALHOUN STATION UNIT N0.1 2019 ANNUAL DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING /IRRADIATED FUEL MANAGEMENT STATUS REPORT As of December 31, 2018
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission LIC-19-0005 Page 2 OMAHA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT FORT CALHOUN STATION UNIT N0.1 2019 ANNUAL DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING /IRRADIATED FUEL MANAGEMENT STATUS REPORT as of December 31, 2018 10 CFR 50.75 (f) and 50.82(8)
As required by 10 CFR 50.75 (f) and 50.82(8), OPPD reports the following information:
A. Current Decommissioning Cost Estimate Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(c), the 2019 estimated NRC m1mmum decommissioning amount to decommission Fort Calhoun Station Unit No 1 is $434,916,000. See Attachment A for the detailed decommissioning cost calculation and Attachment B for the applicable indices. Although required by 50.75(c) OPPD does not use this calculation for any other decommissioning cost estimates or evaluations.
The estimate is superseded by the requirements of 10 CFR 50.82{8). Additional reporting requirements required by 10 CFR 50.82(8) are documented in Attachment C.
As required by 10 CFR 50.82, OPPD has completed a site-specific decommissioning cost analysis. Based on the decommissioning cost analysis (completed in 2018), the total estimated cost to decommission Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 is $1,213,203,000 in 2018 dollars. Of that total cost estimate, the current site-specific cost estimate for license termination expenses (L TE) of Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 is
$832,492,000, the current separate estimate of site restoration is $49,149,000 and the current separate estimate of spent fuel management costs is $331,562,000.
The total cost estimate was reported as $1,295,453,000 (2017 dollars) in the Decommissioning Cost Estimate as required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(iii) (reference 1 ). The cost estimate included monies anticipated to be spent for operating license termination (radiological remediation), interim spent fuel storage and site restoration activities.
B. Current Decommissioning Fund Balance The total OPPD Decommissioning Fund(s) balance as of December 31, 2018 was $465,956,000. OPPD maintains two separate trust accounts, one for the NRC minimum decommissioning amount as outlined in 10 CFR 50.75 (c) and one for other costs including additional radiological, site restoration and spent fuel management as determined by the consultant cost study. As of December 31, 2018, the balance in the fund for the NRC minimum decommissioning amount was $295,783,000. As of December 31, 2018, the balance in the funds accumulated for other decommissioning costs was $170,173,000.
The two trust funds are not commingled and the funds accumulated for the additional decommissioning cost are not included as funds for the NRC minimum decommissioning amount. The funds accumulated for the additional decommissioning costs including additional radiological, site restoration and spent fuel management are available for radiological decommissioning without prior approval by a State regulatory authority and are not subject to disapproval for radiological decommissioning by a State regulatory authority.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission LIC-19-0005 Page 3 C. Annual Decommissioning Collections There were no annual collections for 2016. The annual collections for 2017 and 2018 were $147,469,000 and $156,000,000, respectively. The total expected future collections for decommissioning are
$679,850,000 beginning in 2019 as shown in Attachment C, Column 1. The revenue source for collections is OPPD "cost-of-service" electric rates.
D. Rates Used to Escalate Decommissioning Costs and Fund Balances The rates used for the escalation of the site-specific decommissioning cost estimate and earnings rates on the Decommissioning Fund through the completion of decommissioning are shown in Attachment D.
Congressional Budget Office data provided the basis for the decommissioning cost estimate inflation rate forecasts. Decommissioning costs are inflated using a blending of the Congressional Budget Office's forecasts for Consumer Price Index, All-Urban and Employment Cost Index, Total Private Compensation.
Decommissioning trust earnings are projected using Barclay's forecasted yield on 5-year Treasury notes.
E. Contracts to Help Fund Decommissioning OPPD does not have any contracts pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75 (e)(1 )(ii)(C) and is not relying on contracts with a "non-bypassable charge" to fund decommissioning.
F. Modifications to Method of Providing Financial Assurance There have been no modifications to OPPD's method of providing financial assurance since the decommissioning funding plan began in 1982 and continued pursuant to NRC Regulations in 1990.
G. Changes in the Decommissioning Funding Plan Trust Agreement The Decommissioning Funding Plan Trust Agreement previously had a fund audit to cover the period July 1 through June 30. To align the Decommissioning Trust Fund audit with Omaha Public Power District's audit, the audit period for the Trust Fund was changed to January 1 through December 31. This change became effective January 1, 2018.
Additionally, the Trust Agreement previously stated Omaha Public Power District would submit to the NRC an annual accounting statement received from the Trustee on an annual basis. The Trust Agreement was changed to state that Omaha Public Power District will submit an annual accounting statement when requested by the NRC.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission LIC-19-0005, Attachment A Page 1 ATTACHMENT A OMAHA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICT FORT CALHOUN STATION UNIT NO. 1 2019 ANNUAL DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING STATUS REPORT TO NRC 2019 Escalation of the Minimum Decommissioning Amount (MDA) Estimate Based on Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Formulas and Application to OPPD TheN RC accepted OPPD's Decommissioning Funding Plan in 1990. As part of the Decommissioning Funding Plan, OPPD calculates the MDA using theN RC formula as follows:
NRC Formula for MDA For a PWR (10 CFR 50. 75©(1)(i))
Between 1200 MWt and 3400 MWt
$(75 = 0.0088P) million
$75 million+ $8800(P) = MDA for a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Plant where: P = MWt reactor rating Fort Calhoun= 1500 MDA expressed in 1986 Dollars (to be escalated)
= 75 million +(8800*1500) 88,200,000 =MDA in 1986 S's Escalation of Cost Adjustment Factors Adjustment factor defined in 10 CFR 50.75 ( c)(2)
Estimated Decommissioning Cost in Year 20XX = MDA X (0.65 (L) + 0.13 (E)+ 0.22 (B))
Where:
"L" is the Labor factor. The Labor factor is obtained from the "Employment Cost Indexes", published by the U.S. Department of Labor-Bureau of Labor Statistics. Specifically, the appropriate regional data from the table "Employment Cost Index for total compensation, for private industry workers, by bargaining status, census region and division, and metropolitan area status" should be used. For OPPD, data from the Midwest Region is used.
"E" is the Energy factor. The Energy factor is to be obtained from the following two component formula specifically weighted for PWR plans:
0.58P + 0.42F = E (Energy Factor)
Where: "P" is the component for electric power, and "F" os the component for fuel oil.
Both "P" and "F" are values of current Producer Price Indices (PPI Codes 0543 and 0573, respectively) divided by the corresponding indexes for January 1986. All PPI values are based on a value of 100 for the year 1982.
"B" is the Waste Burial factor. The Waste Burial factor is obtained from the most recent version of the NRC report, NUREG-1307, Report on Waste Burial Charges.
