REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Portland General Electric Company License Renewal Application Docket No. 72-17 License No. SNM-2509 This request for additional information (RAI) identifies information needed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff to complete its review of the license renewal application and to determine whether the applicant has demonstrated compliance with the regulatory requirements.

CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION RAI 1-1. In its submittal, Portland General Electric Company (PGE) stated, in part, that itself and co-owners of the Trojan Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) will remain financially qualified to carry out the operation and decommissioning of the ISFSI during the period of the renewed material license as required by 10 CFR 72.22(e). Additionally, PGE provided web links to the annual financial reports for PGE, PacifiCorp, and the Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) current at that time. Two of the web links are currently inactive.

The regulation at 10 CFR 72.22(e) Contents of application: General and Financial Information, states:

Except for DOE, information sufficient to demonstrate to the Commission the financial qualifications of the applicant to carry out, in accordance with the regulations in this chapter, the activities for which the license is sought. The information must state the place at which the activity is to be performed, the general plan for carrying out the activity, and the period of time for which the license is requested. The information must show that the applicant either possesses the necessary funds, or that the applicant has reasonable assurance of obtaining the necessary funds or that by a combination of the two, the applicant will have the necessary funds available to cover the following:

(1) Estimated construction costs; (2) Estimated operating costs over the planned life of the ISFSI; and (3) Estimated decommissioning costs, and the necessary financial arrangements to provide reasonable assurance before licensing, that decommissioning will be carried out after the removal of spent fuel, high level radioactive waste, and/or reactor related GTCC waste from storage.

After reviewing PGEs submittal, it appears that the estimated operating and maintenance costs, as well as sources of funds to operate the Trojan ISFSI were not specifically provided in the application for license renewal, nor could this information be easily obtained from staffs review of the PGE annual report.

Enclosure

Request for Additional Information 1 Provide the current estimated operating and maintenance costs for the Trojan ISFSI, as well as sources of funds, over the planned life of the ISFSI. Additionally, provide the rationale for these cost projections.

This information is required to determine compliance with 10 CFR 72.22(e).
