NRC Decommissioning Process

• Permanently cease operations

• Certify permanent cessation of operations

• Certify fuel removed from reactor

• Submit PSDAR (within 2 years)

• SAFSTOR and/or plant decommissioning

• SAFSTOR and/or plant decommissioning

• Application for license termination (LTP)

• License termination

TMI-2 Decommissioning Process

• The March 28, 1979, accident made the shutdown of TMI 2 different from all other shutdown of TMI-2 different from all other reactors.

C S S

• NRC approved PDMS SAR on September 14, 1993, with License Amendment 45.

• GPU submits PSDAR on June 28, 2013, to establish compliance with 50.82.

PSDAR Requirements PSDAR Requirements

• 10 CFR 50.82(a)(4)

• PSDAR describes:

- planned decommissioning activities p

g

- decommissioning schedule

- cost estimate for the decommissioning cost estimate for the decommissioning

- environmental impacts of decommissioning 7

PSDAR Review Process

• NRC notices receipt of PSDAR &

requests public comments requests public comments

• NRC schedules PSDAR public meeting

• NRC considers public comments

• Review PSDAR in accordance with e e S

acco da ce t

Regulatory Guide 1.185

• PSDAR does not require NRC approval 8

• PSDAR does not require NRC approval

PSDAR Review Criteria

• Decom can be completed as described

• Decom can be completed within 60 years

• Decom can be completed for the estimated cost

• Decom activities do not endanger public eco act t es do ot e da ge pub c health and safety or the environment 9

PSDAR Highlights

• Decommissioning of TMI-2 will start after TMI-1 operating license expires in April 2034 TMI 2 ill b i t i d i t PDMS d

til

• TMI-2 will be maintained in current PDMS mode until decommissioning begins

• TMI-2 license termination will occur before September TMI 2 license termination will occur before September 2053 (60 years after cessation of operations)

• Decommissioning costs are estimated to be

$844 885 000 (b d

2008 d ll

)

$844,885,000 (based on 2008 dollars)

• Environmental impacts of planned decommissioning activities are bounded by impacts associated with post-10 activities are bounded by impacts associated with post accident cleanup activities and GEIS

Conclusion

• NRC received a PSDAR for TMI-2 on June 28 2013 June 28, 2013

• Although NRC is not required to approve S

C the PSDAR by regulation, NRC will review the PSDAR

• NRC will consider the public comments in its review of the TMI-2 PSDAR 11

Decommissioning Power Reactor Oversight Program Oversight Program

• Decommissioning power reactor inspection program is described in Inspection Manual Chapter 2561 A

l I ti f

d b R i

I t ff

• Annual Inspection performed by Region I staff

- Verify controls and methods for safe storage of radioactive material and structures at permanently shutdown reactors 13

TMI-2 SAFSTOR PROGRAM

• No ongoing decommissioning activities

• Material condition of components remain unchanged

• Safe storage programs being conducted according to Technical Specifications and site procedures

• NRC Inspection Reports are located in ADAMS http://www nrc gov/reading-rm/adams html http://www.nrc.gov/reading rm/adams.html 14
