Financial Analysis and International Projects Branch Division of Inspection and Regional Support Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

SUBJECT:

U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION STAFFS SPOT-CHECK REVIEW OF MIDAMERICAN ENERGY COMPANYS 25 PERCENT OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION UNITS 1 AND 2, DOCKET NOS. 50-254 AND 50-265, ON APRIL 9, 2014FINDING OF NO POTENTIAL ISSUES Pursuant to SECY-07-0197, Reactor Decommissioning Trust Fund Oversight by Other Agencies and Recommendations Regarding Further Commission Action, dated November 7, 2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has been instructed to perform spot-checks on licensees to ensure that the amount reported to the NRC in the decommissioning funding status (DFS) report is equivalent to the amount the licensee has in its bank account, as of December 31 of the preceding year. After providing at least 10 days prior notice, the NRC staff, on April 9, 2014, performed the spot-check at MidAmerican Energy Companys (MidAmerican) Headquarters, where MidAmerican holds/receives the original bank statements for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (Quad Cities) Units 1 and 2 from The Bank of New York Mellon.

After the NRC staffs spot-check of Quad Cities Units 1 and 2 at the location of the original bank statements, the NRC staff found no issues related to the amount reported to the NRC in the 2013 DFS report of $168,237,237 for Unit 1 and $168,345,946 for Unit 2 and the stated amount in the bank statements dated December 31, 2012. The bank statements of MidAmerican were divided between three qualified bank account(s) and three nonqualified bank account(s) for each reactor, respectively. The total of all of the accounts is equivalent to the amount provided to the NRC in the 2013 DFS report.

Because no issues were found in the NRC staffs spot-check of Quad Cities Units 1 and 2, this memo serves to close out Technical Assignment Control (TAC) No. MF3652 and MF3653.
