("Solutions") and Dairyland Power Cooperative ("Dairyland") (collectively, "Applicants") hereby submit the enclosed application ("Application") requesting that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

("NRC") consent to the transfer of Solutions' Possession Only License No. DPR-45 (the "License") for the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor facility ("LACBWR" or the "LACBWR Site") to Dairyland. The Applicants request that the NRC consent to the transfer of Solutions' licensed possession, maintenance, and decommissioning authorities to Dairyland following completion of decommissioning activities at the LACBWR Site. Dairyland is currently the licensed owner of the site; it holds title to and ownership of the real estate encompassing most of the LACBWR Site, as well as leasehold interests for the remaining portions of the site, title to and ownership of the spent nuclear fuel, and title to and ownership of all improvements at the site. Solutions currently maintains a lease for above-ground LACBWR structures (other than the ISFSI) and previously assumed responsibility for all licensed activities at the LACBWR /

Site, including responsibility under the License to complete decommissioning. vv{ DD l£/

LaCrosseSolutions LC-2018-0048 Page 2 of 5 The LACBWR facility is an Atomic Energy Commission Demonstration Project Reactor, which went critical in 1967 and commenced commercial operation in November 1969 and which was capable of producing 50 megawatts. Dairyland purchased LACBWR in July 1973. LACBWR was shut down on April 30, 1987. Dairyland's SAFSTOR decommissioning plan ("DP") was approved on August 7, 1991.

The DP is considered the post-shutdown decommissioning activities report ("PSDAR"). The PSDAR public meeting was held on May 13, 1998. All 333 spent nuclear fuel elements from LACBWR have been transferred from the Fuel Element Storage Well to dry cask storage at the on-site Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation ("ISFSI") as of September 19, 2012. The site is in the final stages of radiological decommissioning, environmental remediation of the LABWR facility and site restoration.

It is anticipated that site restoration will be complete no later than the end of the second quarter of 2019.

Dairyland continues to operate the Genoa 3 coal-fired generating facility located at the site.

Under the terms of the previous license transfer transaction from Dairyland to Solutions, which are set forth in the Decommissioning Agreement (Reference 1), Solutions became the lead NRC licensee responsible for all activities under the LACBWR License. Solutions promptly commenced decommissioning of the LACBWR Site effective June 1, 2016, and will complete all activities necessary to terminate the License and release the LACBWR Site for unrestricted use as an industrial site no later than the end of the second quarter of 2019, except for a small area surrounding the ISFSI ("ISFSI Site")

containing the spent nuclear fuel until its final disposition. Dairyland has remained the owner licensee and retained title to the spent nuclear fuel. Upon issuance of a license amendment providing for termination of the License, except for the ISFSI Site, Solutions is requesting transfer of the License back to Dairyland. Thereafter, Dairyland will maintain the ISFSI, and the ultimate disposition of the spent nuclear fuel will be provided for under the terms of Dairy land's Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High Level Waste with the U.S. Department of Energy.

Dairyland has continued to maintain its nuclear decommissioning trust ("NDT") during the decommissioning phase, a grantor trust in which funds are segregated from its assets and outside its administrative control, in accordance with the requirements of 10 CPR 50.75(e)(l). In connection with the previous transfer to Solutions of possession, maintenance, and decommissioning authority for LACBWR, Dairyland entered into an Amended and Restated Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Agreement with its trustee ("ARNDT Agreement"). The ARNDT Agreement, which governs the NDT, specifies a designated account within the trust set aside for license termination activities, i.e., decommissioning of LACBWR ("LACBWR Trust Account"). The terms of the Decommissioning Agreement required that Solutions perform radiological decommissioning, environmental remediation of the LACBWR facility, and other activities relating to LACBWR in order to be entitled to request that Dairyland authorize disbursement from the trust account to Solutions. A separate account in the trust holds the funds necessary for the ultimate decommissioning of the ISFSI Site and final license tennination. Dairyland currently funds and will continue to fund the operation and maintenance of the ISFSI through its annual operating revenue. The most recent Decommissioning Fund Plan for the ISFSI was submitted March 14, 2016 (Reference 4). The next DPC Decommissioning Fund Plan submittal is scheduled for March 2019 in accordance with 10 CPR 72.30(c). This proposed license transfer does not result in a change of ownership of the DPC ISFSI trust fund.

Dairyland qualifies as an electric utility and it is exempt from financial qualifications review pursuant to 10 CPR 50.33(f). Because Dairyland is a domestic entity, the proposed transfer will not result in the license becoming owned, controlled, or dominated by a foreign entity. Dairyland has remained the owner licensee, and retains financial responsibility for several costs related to the NRC License, including maintenance and security for the ISFSI Site and related costs such as nuclear insurance, property taxes, emergency planning, utilities, and annual NRC fees.

LaCrosseSolutions LC-2018-0048 Page 3 of 5 Additional information pertaining to the proposed transfer of the License, including the information required under 10 CPR 50.80, is included in the Application. As that information demonstrates: (I)

Dairyland has the requisite managerial, technical, and financial qualifications to be the licensed owner of the LACBWR site; (2) the material terms of the license will not be affected; and (3) ownership by Dairyland will not result in foreign ownership, control or domination of the licensee.

Applicants also request NRC approval of certain administrative amendments to conform the License to reflect the proposed transfer. The changes are shown in attachments to this letter. Administrative changes to documents other than the License will be necessary upon Dairy land's assumption of control over the LACBWR Site. Changes to documents as may be required by NRC regulations, including the Physical Security Plan, Quality Assurance, Program Description, and Emergency Plan will be completed and implemented at the time of license transfer.

In accordance with 10 CPR 50.91(b)(l), a copy of this submittal has been sent to the State of Wisconsin.

The proposed transfer of the LACBWR License to Dairyland has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both Dairyland and LaCrosseSolutions.

Applicants respectfully request that the NRC review and complete action expeditiously on the enclosed Application toward issuance of the NRC consent to the transfer of the License to Dairyland. We are prepared to work closely with the NRC to facilitate the Application's review. Applicants request that the NRC issue an Order approving the amendments to the License to be made effective on the date of issuance and authorizing the transfers to take place at any time up to one year after the date of issuance of the Order consenting to them, contingent on NRC approval of reducing the Part 50 licensed area to the ISFSI area. NRC approval for the licensed area reduction will be made by separate correspondence containing the last Final Status Survey report in accordance with the approved License Termination Plan.

Applicants also request that the License changes be made effective as of the date the transfer is completed. Applicants also request that at the time of the NRC approval for reduction of the Part 50 licensed area to the ISFSI area and approval for transfer of the License back to Dairyland, that the NRC issue written authorization for termination of Performance Bond No. 1905689 issued by The Hanover Insurance Company June 1, 2016 to secure the performance of Solutions under the Decommissioning Agreement for LACBWR.

Applicants will keep the NRC informed of any significant changes that could have an impact on the closing date. In summary, the proposed transfer of the License will not be inimical to the common defense and security or result in any undue risk to public health and safety, and the transfer will be consistent with the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act and the NRC regulations.

This Application contains no regulatory commitments.

In the event that the NRC has any questions about the proposed transaction described in this letter and in the Application or wishes to obtain any additional information about the transfer of the License, please contact Gerard van Noordennen (Solutions) at (860) 462-9707 or gpvannoordennen@energysolutions.com or John Carr (Dairyland) at (608) 787-1298 or john .carr@dairy land power.com.

1. Introduction In accordance with Section 184 of the Atomic Energy Act and 10 CFR 50.80, LaCrosseSolutions, LLC ("Solutions") and Dairyland Power Cooperative ("Dairyland")

(collectively, "Applicants") hereby submit the enclosed application ("Application")

requesting that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") consent to the transfer of Solutions' Possession Only License No. DPR-45 (the "License") for the La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor facility ("LACBWR" or the "LACBWR Site") to Dairyland. The Applicants request that the NRC consent to the transfer of Solutions' licensed possession, maintenance, and decommissioning authorities to Dairyland following completion of decommissioning activities at the LACBWR Site. Dairyland is currently the licensed owner of the site; it holds title to and ownership of the real estate encompassing most of the LACBWR Site, as well as leasehold interests for the remaining portions of the site, title to and ownership of the spent nuclear fuel, and title to and ownership of all improvements at the site. Solutions currently maintains a lease for above-ground LACBWR structures (other than the ISFSI) and previously assumed responsibility for all licensed activities at the LACBWR Site, including responsibility under the License to complete decommissioning. Solutions will relinquish any remaining leasehold rights it holds at the site upon the completion of its work under the Decommissioning Agreement.

The LACBWR facility is an Atomic Energy Commission Demonstration Project Reactor, which went critical in 1967 and commenced commercial operation in November 1969 and which was capable of producing 50 megawatts. Dairyland purchased LACBWR in July 1973. LACBWR was shut down on April 30, 1987. Dairyland's SAFSTOR decommissioning plan ("DP") was approved on August 7, 1991. The DP is considered the post-shutdown decommissioning activities report ("PSDAR"). The PSDAR public meeting was held on May 13, 1998. All 333 spent nuclear fuel elements from LACBWR have been transferred from the Fuel Element Storage Well to dry cask storage at the on-site Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation ("ISFSI") as of September 19, 2012. The site is in the final stages ofradiological decommissioning, environmental remediation of the facility, and site restoration. It is anticipated that site restoration will be complete no later than the end of

.second quarter of 2019. Dairyland continues to operate the Genoa 3 coal-fired generating facility and a large electric transmission substation located at the site.

Under the terms of the previous license transfor transaction from Dairyland to Solutions, which are set forth in the Decommissioning Agreement (Reference 1), Solutions became the lead NRC licensee responsible for all activities under the LACBWR License. Solutions promptly commenced decommissioning of the LACBWR Site effective June 1, 2016, and will complete all activities necessary to terminate the License and release the LACBWR Site for unrestricted use as an industrial site no later than the end of the second quarter of 2019, except for a small area surrounding the ISFSI ("ISFSI Site") containing the spent nuclear fuel until its final disposition. Dairyland has remained the owner licensee and retained title to the spent nuclear fuel. Upon issuance of a license amendment providing for termination of the License, except for the ISFSI Site, Solutions is requesting transfer of the License back to Dairyland. Thereafter, Dairyland will maintain the ISFSI, and the ultimate disposition of the spent nuclear fuel will be provided for under the terms of Dairyland's Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High Level Waste with the U.S. Department of Energy.

Dairyland has continued to maintain its nuclear decommissioning trust ("NDT") during the decommissioning phase, a grantor trust in which funds are segregated from its assets and outside its administrative control, in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.75(e)(l). In connection with the previous transfer to Solutions of possession, maintenance, and decommissioning authority for LACBWR, Dairyland entered into an Amended and Restated Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Agreement with its trustee ("AR NDT Agreement"). The ARNDT Agreement, which governs the NDT, specifies a designated account within the trust set aside for license termination activities, i.e.,

decommissioning ofLACBWR ("LACBWR Trust Account"). The terms of the Decommissioning Agreement required that Solutions perform radiological decommissioning, environmental remediation of the LACBWR facility, and other activities relating to LACBWR in order to be entitled to request that Dairyland authorize disbursement from the trust account to Solutions. A separate account in the trust holds the funds necessary for the ultimate decommissioning of the ISFSI Site and final license termination. Dairyland currently funds and will continue to fund the operation and maintenance of the ISFSI through its annual operating revenue.

The information included in the Application demonstrates that Dairyland will have, at the closing date for the License transfer, the requisite technical qualifications to perform the required activities under the License.

Dairyland qualifies as an electric utility, and it is exempt from financial qualifications review pursuant to 10 CFR 50.33(+/-). Because Dairyland is a domestic entity, the proposed transfer will not result in the license becoming owned, controlled, or dominated by a foreign entity.

Dairyland has remained the owner licensee, and retains financial responsibility for several costs related to the NRC License, including maintenance and security for the ISFSI Site and related costs such as nuclear insurance, property taxes, emergency planning, utilities, and annual NRC fees. Dairyland currently holds investment grade credit ratings of A+ (Standard

& Poors) and A3 (Moody's).

Additional information pertaining to the proposed transfer of the License, including the information required under 10 CFR 50.80, is included in the Application. As that

  • information demonstrates: (1) Dairyland has the requisite managerial, technical, and financial qualifications to be the licensed owner of the LACBWR site; (2) the material terms of the license will not be affected; and (3) ownership by Dairyland will not result in foreign ownership, control or domination of the licensee.

Applicants also request NRC approval of certain administrative amendments to conform the License to reflect the proposed transfer. The changes are shown in Attachment 2 to this Application. Administrative changes to documents other than the License will be necessary upon Dairyland's assumption of control over the LACBWR Site. Changes to documents as may be required by NRC regulations, including the Physical Security Plan, Quality Assurance, Program Description, and Emergency Plan will be completed and implemented at the time of license transfer.

2. Statement of Purpose of Transfer and Nature of the Transaction Making the Transfer Necessary or Desirable The purpose of the transfer of the License from Solutions to Dairyland is to return the license to Dairyland following decommissioning of the LACBWR. Dairyland will assume possession of and managerial responsibility for all licensed activities. As the current owner, Dairyland is licensed to possess LACBWR.

Under the terms of the previous license transfer transaction from Dairyland to Solutions, which are set forth in the Decommissioning Agreement (Reference 1), Solutions became the lead NRC licensee responsible for all activities under the LACBWR License. Solutions will complete all activities necessary to terminate the License and release the LACBWR Site for unrestricted use as an industrial site no later than the end of the second quarter of 2019, except for a small area surrounding the ISFSI ("ISFSI Site") containing the spent nuclear fuel until its final disposition. Dairyland has remained the owner licensee and retained title to the spent nuclear fuel. Upon issuance of a license amendment providing for termination of the License, except for the ISFSI Site, Solutions is requesting transfer of the License back to Dairyland when the end state conditions have been met. Thereafter, Dairyland will maintain the ISFSI, and the ultimate disposition of the spent nuclear fuel will be provided for under the terms ofDairyland's Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High Level Waste with the U.S. Department of Energy.

3. General Corporate Information Regarding Dairyland
a. General Corporate Information and Description of Business Headquartered in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Dairyland is a Wisconsin generation and transmission electric cooperative that provides wholesale electricity to 24 member distribution cooperatives and 17 municipal utilities. Dairyland's service area encompasses 62 counties in four states (Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois).

Dairyland generates and delivers electricity to its members via nearly 3,200 miles of transmission lines and 300 substations located throughout the system's 44,500 square mile service area. Dairyland's generation resources include coal, natural gas, hydro, wind, biomass, landfill gas, biogas and solar. The Genoa 3 generating station that shares the licensed site with LACBWR is one of Dairyland's major generation resources.

Dairyland is currently the licensed owner ofLACBWR, which was permanently retired in 1987. In support of decommissioning, the responsibility for possession, maintenance and decommissioning LACBWR was previously transferred to Solutions.

b. No Foreign Ownership, Control or Domination Dairyland is owned by its members, all of which are domestic cooperatives or municipalities located within the United States. Dairyland does not have any foreign owners, and it is not subject to foreign ownership, control or domination.

Page 3 of 7

4. General Corporate Information Regarding EnergySolutions and Solutions
a. General Corporate Information and Description of Business Solutions is a Delaware limited liability company and is a wholly owned subsidiary of EnergySolutions. Solutions was established for the sole purpose of decommissioning the LACBWR and performing other required activities under the Decommissioning Agreement (Reference 1).
b. No Foreign Ownership, Control, or Domination Consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.38, Solutions is not owned, controlled or dominated by an alien, a foreign corporation, or a foreign government. Solutions is a wholly owned subsidiary ofEnergySolutions, LLC, which is owned by EnergySolutions, Inc. EnergySolutions, Inc. is a privately held company whose shares are directly owned by Rockwell Holdco, Inc. ("Rockwell").
5. Technical Qualifications Solutions previously entered into a "Company Services Agreement" with Dairyland, pursuant to which Dairyland provides operations, maintenance, access control, and security services for the ISFSI site during the decommissioning. Dairyland has been and will continue to be responsible for the costs relating to the ISFSI Site. The Company Services Agreement is effectively an arrangement whereby Dairyland provides services in lieu of cash payment to Solutions for these costs. Dairyland's Genoa Site Manager has on-site responsibility for these services. In summary, Dairyland has been responsible for all ISFSI operations during decommissioning and will continue to do so following license transfer. They have demonstrated their managerial and technical qualifications to perform these functions throughout decommissioning.
6. Financial Qualifications
a. Dairyland Power Cooperative As previously noted, Dairyland retained financial responsibility for several costs related to the NRC License, including maintenance and security for the ISFSI Site and related costs such as nuclear insurance, property taxes, emergency planning, utilities, and annual NRC fees. Following the license transfer to Solutions, Dairyland remained the licensed owner and remains :financially qualified to meet its :financial obligations. Dairyland qualifies as an electric utility that is exempt from financial qualifications review pursuant to 10 CFR 50.33(f). Dairyland's financial responsibilities related to the ISFSI will remain unchanged following the transfer of the license back to Dairyland. Dairyland currently holds investment grade credit ratings of A+ (Standard & Poors) and A3 (Moody's).

Page 4 of 7

7. Restricted Data The proposed transfer of ownership does not involve any Restricted Data or other Classified National Security Information or result in any change in access to such Restricted Data or Classified National Security Information. The existing restrictions on access to Restricted Data and Classified National Security Information are unaffected by the proposed transfer.

In compliance with Section 145(a) of the Act and 10 CPR 95.35, the Applicants agree that restricted or classified defense information will not be provided to any individual until the Office of Personnel Management investigates and reports to the NRC on the character, associations, and loyalty of such individual, and the NRC determines that permitting such person to have access to Restricted Data will not endanger the common defense and security of the United States.

8. Other Nuclear Regulatory Issues
a. Price-Anderson Indemnity and Nuclear Insurance In support of the license transfer to Solutions, the NRC previously amended the Price-Anderson indemnity agreement for the LACBWR to identify Solutions as the licensee upon the NRC consent to the transfer of the License. It is now requested that "LaCrosseSolutions, LLC" be removed from the indemnity agreement and replaced with "Dairyland Power Cooperative" in support of the license transfer back to Dairyland.

Draft Amendment 9 to Indemnity Agreement B-62 is included as Attachment 4.

Dairyland will continue to maintain the existing onsite property damage insurance coverage and the existing offsite nuclear liability coverage in accordance with the exemptions to 10 CPR 50.54(w) issued by the NRC in a letter dated June 26, 1986 and 10 CFR140.12.

b. Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel Dairyland retains ownership of the spent nuclear fuel and will keep in effect its Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High Level Waste with the Government for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel to be performed by the DOE

("Standard Contract") and will retain all rights and obligations under that contract. This Standard Contract, No. DE-CR01-83NE44377, dated June 15, 1983, was entered into by Dairyland and the United States of America, represented by the DOE, to govern spent nuclear fuel generated at LACBWR. Dairyland maintains possession of the LACBWR spent nuclear fuel and is responsible for maintenance and security of the ISFSI Site under the Company Services Agreement with Solutions, subject to oversight by Solutions.

Upon transfer of the License back to Dairyland, Dairyland will have exclusive responsibility under the NRC License for the possession and maintenance of the LACBWR Site, which includes responsibility to the NRC for the maintenance and security of the ISFSI Site.

Dairyland also retains its Standard Contract rights and title to the LACBWR spent nuclear fuel, consistent with the terms of Section 302(b)(4) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, which contemplates that Standard Contract rights flow with "title to the spent nuclear fuel or high level waste involved." 42 U.S.C. § 10222(b)(4).

Page 5 of 7

c. Exclusion Area Control LACBWR does not currently have Exclusion Area Control, the reactor pressure vessel having been removed some years ago and there no longer being a regulatory requirement to maintain exclusion area control at LACBWR in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 100. The ISFSI will continue to be controlled per established security and radiological control measures.
d. QA Program Upon consummation of the transfer, Dairyland will assume authority and responsibility for the functions necessary to fulfill the QA requirements of the Permanently Defueled Technical Specifications and as specified for LACBWR in the Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD), Revision 29 (or later revision if effected). Solutions will transfer all of the current functions of the existing QA organization to Dairyland. No changes to the existing QA program for the LACBWR are anticipated beyond conforming changes consistent with the license transfer, but any changes that do occur will be made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a) separate from this submittal.
e. Deletion of License Condition 2.C.4 Fire Protection Upon completion of decommissioning the LACBWR facility, there will no longer be a radiological hazard that could be affected by a fire on the former plant site. All of the buildings that contained radioactive material will have been removed and the area surveyed to ensure unrestricted release criteria defined in 10 CFR 20 are met. The ISFSI has a separate fire protection program that is controlled by license requirements contained in the 10 CFR 72 Certificate of Compliance for the spent fuel storage systems. Therefore, the need for a fire protection license condition for the former LACBWR facility is no longer required and can be deleted from the license.
9. Requested Review Schedule and Other Required Approvals Applicants respectfully request that the NRC review and complete action expeditiously on the enclosed Application toward issuance of the NRC consent to the transfer of the License to Dairyland. We are prepared to work closely with the NRC Staff to facilitate the Application's review. Applicants request that the NRC issue an Order authorizing the transfers to take place at any time up to one year after the date of issuance of the Order, or such later date as may be permitted by the NRC. Applicants also request that the License changes be made effective as of the License transfer closing date. The Applicants will advise the NRC if there are any significant changes that could have an impact on the Closing Date.

10. Regulatory Safety Analysis The changes proposed for the LACBWR License are shown in Attachment 2, and clean pages are provided as Attachment 3 to the transmittal letter. The changes conform to the License to reflect the proposed transfer of authority and responsibility for licensed activities under the License to Dairyland. Consistent with the generic determination in 10 CPR 2.1315, "Generic determination regarding license amendments to reflect transfers,"

paragraph (a), the proposed conforming license amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, because it does no more than conform the license to reflect the transfer action.

The proposed license amendment does not involve any change in the design or licensing basis, plant configuration, the status of the LACBWR, or the requirements of the License.

Therefore, the proposed approval does not: (1) involve an increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously analyzed; (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from the accidents previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

11. Environmental Considerations This Application and accompanying administrative amendments are exempt from environmental review, because they fall within the categorical exclusion appearing at 10 CPR 51.22(c)(21 ), "Environmental Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions," for which neither an Environmental Assessment nor an Environmental Impact Statement is required.
12. Summary In summary, the proposed transfer of the License to Dairyland will be consistent with the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act, NRC regulations, and regulatory guidance. The transfer of the License will not be inimical to the common defense and security and does not involve foreign ownership, control or domination. Applicants therefore request that the NRC consent to the transfer in accordance with 10 CPR 50.80 and approve the conforming administrative amendment pursuant to 10 CPR 50.92.
