U.S. NRC March 26, 2018 Page 2 of 2 GEH Response to NRC 2/28/18 Request - SNM 2500 DFP NRC RAI 1 Provide a revised DFP that includes the information on the occurrence, and the effect on decommissioning costs, of each of the events listed in 10 CFR 72.30(c)(1-4): (1) Spills of radioactive material producing additional residual radioactivity in onsite subsurface material, (2) facility modifications, (3) changes in authorized possession limits, and (4) actual remediation costs that exceed the previous cost estimate.

GEH Response NRC regulation 10 CFR 72.30(c) defines specific events to be considered to account for changes in costs during a DFP update. Since submittal of the original Morris Operation Decommissioning Funding Plan in December 2012:

1) No spills of radioactive material occurred producing additional residual radioactivity in onsite subsurface material.
2) No facility modifications occurred that impacted the decommissioning cost estimate.
3) There were no changes in authorized possession limits.
4) No active decommissioning occurred, thus there were no actual remediation costs that exceed the previous cost estimate.

These events will be re-considered and similar statements added to the Morris Operation DFP tri-ennial update scheduled to be submitted in December 2018.
