AmerGen Energy Company, LLC www.exeloncorp.com An Exelon Company 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555 10 CFR 50.75(0 June 24, 2004 2130-04-30150 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 Oyster Creek Generating Station Facility Operating License No. DPR-16 NRC Docket No. 50-219
Subject:
Submittal of Preliminary Decommissioning Cost Estimate
Reference:
Letter from J. A. Benjamin (AmerGen Energy Company, LLC) to U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, dated April 14, 2004 In the referenced letter, a preliminary decommissioning cost estimate was provided in accordance with 10 CFR 50.75(0(2) for Oyster Creek Generating Station (OCGS). That preliminary cost estimate evaluated three (3) options for decommissioning OCGS. Since AmerGen will be seeking license renewal for OCGS, we have not made a final determination of the decommissioning approach for OCGS. As discussed with the NRC in a conference call on June 7, 2004, for the purpose of choosing a decommissioning option to demonstrate adequacy of funding to meet regulatory requirements, the DECON option should be selected. We reserve the right to choose a decommissioning option in accordance with our business needs, recognizing that we need to assure the chosen option meets NRC requirements for decommissioning funding.
As of April 30, 2004, our decommissioning trust fund balances totaled $517 million, which exceeds the radiological portion of the DECON cost estimate provided in the referenced letter.
As stated in the referenced letter, OCGS will be seeking license renewal, since the facility operating license for OCGS currently expires on April 9, 2009.
