DE MMI I NIN REP RT St. Lucie Unit No. 2 FPL, FMPA, and OUC (the Participants) hereby submit this Decommissioning Report in compliance with 10 C.F.R. g 50.33 (k) and 50.75 (b),
- 1. The Participants own the following undivided intcrcsts in St. Lucie Unit No. 2 (Unit):
FPL 85.10449YO FMPA 8.80600%
OUC ~gg'i l9l Total 100.00000%
- 2. The Participants hereby certify that financial assurance for decommissioning the Unit is provided in the amount of $ 130,353,312. The calculation of this amount is set forth in Exhibit A and complies with the formula set forth in 10 C.F.R. $ 50.75(c).
Thc Participants acknowledge the following interests with respect to the total financial assurance amount:
FPL $ 111,297,965 85.38177%
FMPA 11,265,237 8.64208%
OUC 77 ll Total 130 353 312 100.00000%
An adjustment was necessary to allocate the decommissioning costs of the Unit t
between FPL, FMPA, and OUC. This is because the decommissioning costs of the Unit include the costs of decommissioning the facilities common to the Unit and St. Lucie Unit No. l.
FMPA's and OUC's contractual obligations provide that with respect to the common facility costs, they pay for only their ownership sharc of the Unit times one half of these costs.
DE MMI I NIN REPORT St. Lucie Unit No. 2 (continued)
Therefore, multiplying FMPA's and OUC's rcspcctive ownership shares of the Unit by the total costs of decommissioning the Unit would overstate their cost obligations. This adjustment is ref lectcd in thc "Cost Allocation Factor" presented on page 21 of FPL's 1988 Decommissioning Study for St. Lucie Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Florida Public Service Commission Docket No. 870098-EI).
- 3. The method of providing financial assurance for decommissioning the Unit is an external sinking fund into which deposits will be made at least annually.
- 4. Attached as Exhibit Bl, B2, and B3 to this Decommissioning Report are photocopies of thc executed external sinking fund trust agreements for FPL, FMPA and OUC, rcspcctively. FPL's trust agreement (Exhibit Bl) established a master trust through which FPL also funds for its nuclear decommissioning obligations associated with St. Lucic Unit No. 1 and Turkey Point Units Nos. 3 and 4.
- 5. Attached as Exhibit Cl, C2, and C3 to this Decommissioning Report are schedules for implementing the method of providing financial assurance for decommissioning the Unit for FPL, FMPA, and OUC, respectively.
