Crystal River Unit 3 - Notification of Schedule Change for the Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report

References:

CR-3 to NRC, dated December 2, 2013, Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report, (ADAMS Accession No. ML13340A009)

Dear Sir:

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(7), Duke Energy Florida, LLC, formerly known as Duke Energy Florida Inc., (DEF) is submitting notification that DEF is planning to perform certain activities that constitute a schedule change from those actions and schedules described in the Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3) Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR) and associated Site-Specific Decommissioning Cost Estimate (DCE).

Specifically, the change is as follows:

The Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) construction and loading project is now scheduled to be completed by February 2018 versus the January 2019 date identified in the PSDAR and DCE.

The ISFSI schedule is reflected in multiple locations in the PSDAR and DCE. Specifically in footnote 3 to Table 2.2, Decommissioning Cost Summary, and in Section 2.1.2, Period 2:

Dormancy. It is also described in the DCE, in footnote 3 to Table 2, Decommissioning Cost Summary, in Section 2.2, Period 2 - Dormancy, in Section 4.2, Project Schedule, Figure 4.2, Decommissioning TimeLine, and in footnote 3 to Table 6.1, Decommissioning Cost Summary.

This schedule change did not result in any significant change in cost than what is described in the DCE. DEF will continue to provide the NRC Project Manager with periodic project schedule updates.

For the reasons described in CR-3s, Update to Irradiated Fuel Management Program Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54 (bb), dated December 3, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13340A008), ISFSI construction costs will not be paid for from DEFs Decommissioning Trust Fund (DTF) at this time; however, the loading project costs will be paid for from DEFs DTF.

An evaluation of estimated impacts from accelerating the project due to the change in schedule described above concludes that the change would not jeopardize CR-3s ability to demonstrate financial assurance as indicated in Attachment 11 to CR-3s Financial Status Report for 2014

(ADAMS Accession No. ML15092A113). DEF remains committed to utilizing SAFSTOR with license termination completion in 2073.

There are no new regulatory commitments made within this submittal.

If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Mark Van Sicklen, Licensing Lead, Nuclear Regulatory Affairs, at (352) 563-4795.

Sincerely, Ronald R. Reising, Senior Vice President Operations Support RRR/mvs xc: NRR Project Manager Regional Administrator, Region I
