Fw: Supplemental information for RAIs regarding RCF license renewal Hi Duke, Here is part of the response that you asked for. Since the request came by e-mail. I assume an e-mail response is acceptable. Please let me know otherwise. Basil is working on the second question.

RE: Supplemental information for RAIs regarding RCF license renewal I looked at our response and we did say that we would update the values annually based upon current rates. Looking at the OSU response, I am guessing that they want just a little more detail. I suggest the following by way of response.
Our decommissioning cost estimate consists of four elements:
(1) Labor costs (2) Disposal costs (3) Equipment and supplies (4) Contingency Labor costs are determined by estimating hours required of each category of worker (supervisor, technician, etc) and the prevailing labor rate for that category of worker. Characterization and decommissioning times are included in this estimate.
Disposal costs are determined by estimating total disposal volume multiplied by the volumetric cost.
Equipment and supplies costs are determined from current retail prices.
A 25% contingency is added to the sum of the first three cost estimates to account for uncertainties in cost estimates and other miscellaneous costs.
The decommissioning cost estimate will be reviewed annually. The labor costs will be adjusted by inflating the labor rate for each category of worker based upon changes in the local prevailing wages. Disposal costs will be adjusted based upon current volumetric cost rates. Costs for equipment and supplies will be inflated by changes in the consumer price
index.
Hope that will take care of it.
--Peter

Supplemental information for RAIs regarding RCF license renewal Mr. Stewart, We have finished reviewing your response to the RAIs regarding financial qualifications and decommissioning. Your response to RAI 4.(c) did not include an example of how the decommissioning cost estimate will be updated periodically. Please supplement your response dated July 21, 2008, with an example of how the decommissioning cost estimate will be updated periodically. Pages 1 and 2 of the enclosure to Ohio State University's response to RAIs provide an example (ADAMS Accession No. ML080650352).
Your response to RAI 5 also requires supplementation. The response mentioned self-liquidity, which is not a means for assuring decommissioning funding.
The financial reviewer suggested that you read 10 CFR Part 30, Appendix E for information about the self-guarantee test, and NUREG-1757, Appendix A.14 for information regarding self-guarantees and the documentation that needs to be provided.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding this matter.
Additionally, Mr. Ronald Uleck (Ronald.Uleck@nrc.gov
<mailto:Ronald.Uleck@nrc.gov> or (301) 415-3741) may be able to better answer questions regarding the specifics of your
response.
Thank you.
