SEABROOK STATION, UNIT 1 DOCKET NO. 50-443 By letter dated March 25,2013 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML13093A156), NextEra Energy Seabrook, LLC (NextEra or licensee) submitted its 2013 Decommissioning Funding Status (DFS) report for Seabrook Station, Unit 1 (Seabrook) as required under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Section 50.75(f)(1).

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has determined that the following additional information is necessary to complete its review.

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (RAI)

Indicate what portion of the accumulated fund balances are for radiological decommissioning activities only, Specify, if any, of the $460,911,928 for Seabrook is for non-radiological decommissioning costs such as spent fuel management or other non-radiological decommissioning activities.

On March 25, 2013, NextEra provided the amount accumulated in the decommissioning trust fund at the end of the calendar year preceding the date of the report for items included in 10 CFR 50.75 (b) and (c). Confirm that the dollar amounts identified above are exclusively for radiological decommissioning.

Per 10 CFR 50. 75(f)(1), licensees must identify "the amount accumulated to the end of the calendar year preceding the date of the report." This actual amount is dedicated for NRC decommissioning activities, as defined in 10 CFR 50.2. Per phone conversation on May 30, 2013, between NRC and NextEra staff (meeting summary may be found at NRC ADAMS Accession No. ML13158A197), NRC indicated that it would generate an RAI in response to NextEra's 2013 DFS report submission for Seabrook. Specifically, it remained unclear to the NRC staff what portion of the trust fund balance for Seabrook was dedicated to NRC decommissioning activities, as defined in 10 CFR 50.2.
