Introduction DECON Objectives Terminate the NRC license without restrictions or conditions Allow Unrestricted Release of the ship MARAD Cost Estimates and Project Approach are based on worst-case scenarios; characterization should allow for improvement The actual extent of component removal and remediation efforts will be defined by the characterization data, analysis, and dose modeling 3

Introduction Approach and Methodology Three Phase Approach, Up To Seven Years
- (I) DECON Planning and Engineering -2 years;
- (II) Industrial Dismantlement Activity - 4 years; and
- (III) License Termination - 1 year.
The phase durations are approximate, and there will be overlap at the boundaries.
Employ mature commercial nuclear decommissioning technologies and practices Maintain Integrity of Licensed Site and Control of Activities 4

Activities and Current Status Phase 1 Began Oct. 1, 2017 No Radiologically Controlled Areas (RCAs) outside of the Reactor Compartment (RC) and Containment Vessel (CV).
No insulation remaining on the Primary Coolant System and any Reactor Plant Auxiliary System.
Dismantlement of Reactor Plant Auxiliary Systems as necessary to implement 1 and 2 above.
