For our further evaluation, we need the following additional information:
- 1.
In Item 1 of each Attachment to the Decommissioning Funding Status (DFS) report, Exelon reported an amount of decommissioning funds estimated to be required under Title 10 to the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.75(b) and (c). The amount of decommissioning funds estimated was greater than the amount calculated by the NRC staff for the above listed plants. Provide the labor, energy, and burial factors used in Exelons calculation of the minimum requirement for decommissioning financial assurance for each facility and address how the calculation methodology used deviates
Enclosure from that described in NUREG-1307, Report on Waste Burial Charges, Revision 14.
- 2.
In Item 1 of each Attachment to the DFS report and also under footnote (a), Exelon reported a site-specific decommissioning fund estimate per 10 CFR 50.75(b). As required by 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(i) and (ii), the licensee must specifically describe the safe storage period in order to take credit for projected future earnings when it uses a site-specific estimate as the basis for using the prepayment or external sinking fund methods of financial assurance. Provide the summary schedule of annual expenses, projected earnings, and end-of-year fund balances, expressed in 2010 dollars for the site-specific cost estimate.
- 3.
In Item 2 of each Attachment to the DFS report, Exelon reported the amount of decommissioning trust funds accumulated as of December 31, 2010, for the above-listed plants, but did not state if the amount accumulated was before or after taxes. Per the provisions of 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1) and (2), provide the after-tax amount of funds accumulated through December 31, 2010.
- 4.
Beginning in 1999, provide the annual contribution amounts, as defined by 10 CFR 50.2 Definitions, deposited into each of the decommissioning trust fund, for Clinton Power Station Unit 1, LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2, and Limerick Generating Station Units 1 and 2. The data should show the total contributions made.
- 5.
Beginning in 2010, provide the annual contribution amounts, as defined by 10 CFR 50.2, deposited into each of the decommissioning trust funds for Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, and Byron Station, Units 1 and 2. The data should show the total contributions made.
