ENTERGY GULF STATES LOUISIANA, LLC'S STATUS OF DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING ASSURANCE FOR RIVER BEND STATION, UNIT 1 - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (TAC NO. ME0562)
Attachments:
DecommRAI2.doc Les, On March 30, 2009, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, LLCs (EGSL) biennial decommissioning funding report (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML090920218) for River Bend Station, Unit 1 (RBS). The NRC staff reviewed and analyzed the licensees decommissioning cost estimate derived from the regulatory formula and the amount(s) stated within the licensees decommissioning trust fund, as of December 31, 2008, for the above plant, as well as authorized future collections and earnings assumptions.
The NRC staff reviewed the August 13, 2009, letter describing EGSLs proposed plan to cover the shortfall in the amount of decommissioning funding assurance for its 70 percent regulated share of RBS. Based on your Biennial Decommissioning Funding Report, submitted on or about March 31, 2009, the NRC staff projected a shortfall of approximately $164 million as of December 31, 2008. The NRC determined that additional information was needed to complete its review of the plan and by letter dated October 14, 2009 (ADAMS Accession No. ML092680611) provided a Request for Additional Information (RAI). Entergy responded to this request by letter dated November 12, 2009 (ADAMS Accession No. ML093200212). The NRC staff has reviewed this response and attached are additional RAIs. As discussed with Mr. Les England of Entergy has agreed to provide a response within 60 days of the date of this email.
Paperwork Reduction Act Statement This letter does not contain any new or amended information collection requirements subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing collection requirements under 10 CFR Part 50 were approved by the Office of Management and Budget, control number 3150-0011, which expires June 30, 2010.
Public Protection Notification The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an information collection unless the requesting document displays a currently valid OMB control number.
