UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION REGION I 2100 RENAISSANCE BOULEVARD, SUITE 100 KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA 19406-2713 July 6, 2012 Mr. John Harragin
[Home address deleted Under 10 CFR 2.390]
Dear Mr. Harragin:
I am responding to your electronic mail message to Chairman Jaczko dated May 29, 2012, in which you asked questions regarding the market value of liability protection, specifically at Indian Point.
There is not a site specific analysis for liability protection at Indian Point or other reactor sites.
The limit of liability protection available to Indian Point, or other reactor sites, is nearly $12 billion. This is in the form of private, primary and secondary insurance through American Nuclear Insurers and is required by the Price-Anderson Act. The Act also includes a process for dealing with incidents in which damages exceed the primary and secondary insurance coverage.
For detailed information on the Price-Anderson Act and nuclear insurance, please visit the NRCs public web site and view our fact sheet. The information can be accessed at the following link: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/fact-sheets/funds-fs.html Thank you for your interest in this matter.
Sincerely,
/RA/
William M. Dean Regional Administrator
