SUBJECT:
Kansas State University License R-88/Docket 50-188 Intent to Support Decommissioning Activities
Dear Sir/Madam:
This concerns the ultimate decommissioning of the Kansas State University TRIGA Nuclear Reactor Facility, currently operating under the "timely renewal" provisions of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Pursuant to the CFR, Title 10, Part 50, this is to assure that the University, an entity of the State of Kansas, will obtain decommissioning funds when necessary.
A request for license renewal has been submitted to the USNRC, and is expected to be approved for a 20-year term. When a decision is made to terminate the facility license and decommission the facility, the University will request legislative appropriation of funds, or otherwise provide funds sufficiently in advance of decommissioning to prevent delay of required activities.
On July 17, 1990 an estimate for decommissioning costs was prepared on the basis of the methods described in the May 1989 Nuclear Regulatory Commission guide "Assuring the Availability of Funds for Decommissioning Nuclear Reactors." The 1990 estimate has been updated to reflect current values using U.S. Department of Labor Statistics (April 17, 2007), as attached.
With assurance that I have the authority to sign this statement of intent, I am M. Duane Nellis Provost and Senior Vi e President I verify under penalty of perjury that the foregoi.nig'srue and correct.
