SUMMARY

I This report provides cost and schedule estimates of the prompt removal / dismantling, safe storage entombment, and delayed rernoval/ dismantling (af ter safe storage entombment) alternatives for the decommissioning of Prairie Island Units 1 and 2. The estimated cost of I each of these decommissioning modes is presented in 1979 dollars. Interest and escalation have not been applied to these estimates and consequently a direct cost comparison can not be rnade for alternatives that occur at different times. Northern States Power Company will account for these financial aspects in the economic evaluations it will perform in planning for the recovery of Prairie Island decommissioning costs.

Prompt removal / dismantling implies that radioactive materials are removed from the site and all buildings and facilities dismantled immediately af ter shutdown. The dismantling, 4 shipment and burial of activated and contaminated systems is more costly than dismantling of non-activated /non-contaminated systems. This is due to the fact that highly radioactive components must be removed by remote cutting, shipped, and buried under stringent and costly requirements. The time period required to dismantle the plant at shutdown, remove waste and restore the site, is 73 months.

I The safe storage entombment alternative consists of sealing the radioactive components and structures within an entombment barrier at shutdown. Site maintenance costs are provided for security intrusion monitoring equipment, insurance, and facility maintenance to ensure entombment integrity. Safe storage entombment activities require 34 months for comple-tion.

8 USNRC Regulatory Guide i.86 defines safe storage entombment as an open-ended alterna-tive with no provision for ultimate disposal. The period required for radioactive materials I to decay to unrestricted access levels is gene.Oh w Jong to favor safe storage entombment as a viable permanent alternative for power reactors.

I Delayed removal / dismantling consists of safe storage entombment at shutdown, and plant disassembly and di,sposal af ter a dormancy period. For this study, a dormancy period of 100 I years was considered for cost evaluation. Dormancy periods of 30 years and 85 years are discussed generally (i.e. no detaile'J cost estimates have been developed for these dormancy periods).

l Af ter 30 years dormancy, the occupational exposure for dismantling radioactive piping and l

systems would be reduced which would reduce the total personnel exposure. However, there would be no significant reduction in dismantling costs. Af ter 85 years dormancy, the j

contaminated piping and components at Prairie Island would decay to unrestricted access levels. Af ter 100 years dormancy, the radioactive materials within the reactor vessel would g have decayed sufficiently to permit removal without sophisticated remote underwater cutting techniques. Therefore, dismantling af ter 85 to 100 years of dormancy is less costly (in 1979 dollars) than prompt dismantling. However, safe storage entombment-delayed dismantling is more costly (in 1979 dollars) than prompt dismantling because of the l

cumulative annual dormancy cost and the initial cost of safe storage entombment.

l The cost estimates for each Prairie Island decommissioning mode considered are summariz-ed below. Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant is a two unit plant with facilities shared l between Units 1 & 2. The decommissioning cost estimate for the first Prairie Island unit is based on the single unit site assumption of the AIF/NESP-009 Study (Ref.1). To make the cost estimate for the entire Prairie Island site, additional calculations were performed to determine the cost impact of the second unit. This calculation utilizes the single unit

! decommissioning cost minus reductions for shared engineering costs and costs for removal of shared structures and equipment. A tabulation of second unit decommissioning costs is also provided in the following cost stimate summary. All costs are in 1979 dollars and include a 25% contingency.

2.1 INTRODUCTION

l The initial phase of decommissioning activities af ter plant shutdown would be performed by j the existing operating plant staff. These activities would include removal of all fuel and I

f source material from the vessel and storage racks for off-site disposal, in accordance with existing plant technical specifications and procedures. Plant work areas would be cleaned of surface contamination, as required, and all liquid and solid wastes would be removed.

Concurrent with these activitics, Northern States Power would request a possession-only I. license and submit a Decommissioning Plan (Dismantlement Plan) to the NRC for approval in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.86 (Ref.11).

l 2.2 PROMPT REMOVAL / DISMANTLING Prompt removal / dismantling consists of removing from the site all fuel assemblies, radioactive fluids and waste, and in accordance with an NRC approved Decommissioning Plan, all other materials, structures, components, etc. having activities above acceptec l unrestricted activity levels. The site may then be released for unrestricted use with no requirements for a license. The remainder of the reactor facility may then be dismantled and shipped for disposal.

Prompt dismantling of the entire facility requires that activated components such as vessel internals and associated piping systems must be remotely segmented using equipment such as an arc-saw. The segments must be packaged, shipped, and buried in accordance with l~ Regulatory Guide 1.86, DOT 49CFR173-189 (References 11 and 12, respectively) and in accordance with the burial facility's license. For this cost estimate, all buildings and l structures (reactor, turbine, radwaste, auxiliary fuel handling, resin disposal, screenhouse, machine shops, etc.) are removed from the site to three feet below grade. Non-contaminated concrete rubble may be used on-site for fill of building cavities below grade.

l When all radioactive material has been removed, the site may be restored to its natural contour, landscaped and released for unrestricted use.

NUCLEAR ENERGY SERVICES, INC. DOCUMENT NO. 81A0623 PAGE 7 OF 67 Prompt removal / dismantling of the entire facility is an irreversible process in which the plant would never again be used for the generation of electricity. Therefore, there are no ongoing environmental obligations or financial burdens that must be borne by the utility af ter dismantling as there are with the safe storage entombment mode of decommissioning.

2.3 SAFE STORAGE ENTOMBMENT Safe storage entombment consists of removing spent fuel and residual operating wastes, j- decontaminating or removing contaminated material and equipment cutside the entombment boundary, and constructing an entombment barrier within the reactor building.

l The entombment boundary proposed for use at the Prairie Island site is within the reactor buildings to limit the plant areas requiring controlled access. The boundary consists of the j reac tor-steam generator shield wall, fuel transfer canal, and adjacent fuel building structural concrete as shown in Figures 1,2, and 3. The structural barriers at this boundary would contain the radioactive reactor vessel and internals, reactor coolant system piping steam generators and pressurizers, incore instrumentation system, and other miscellaneous I, components. All openings in this boundary, including the fuel transfer canal and equipment

{ and access hatches would be sealed with 2 foot thick reinforced concrete slabs to prevent personnel entry.

l All remaining contaminated systems external to the safe storage entombment boundary I

l would be decontaminated or removed for off-site burial in controlled burial grounds. This would include contaminated systems in the reactor, auxiliary radwaste, resin disposal, fuel 1 handling, and turbine buildings. Non-contaminated systems in all buildings would be drained, l de-energized and secured in place.

All systems required during the dormancy period such as fire protection, lighting, radiation

[

g and intrusion monitoring would be prepared for continued use. All external doors and y hatches of the buildings en-site would be locked closed. All other accesses to plant buildings l would be secured to prevent unauthorized entry, but would be accessible for periodic inspections.

NUCLEAR ENERGY SERVICES, INC. DOCUMENT NO. 81A0623 PAGE II OF 67 A final radiation survey would be performed of all plant buildings and grounds outside the safe storage entombment barsier to ensure that there is no radioactive contamination above unrestricted access levels.

2.4 DELAYED REMOVAL / DISMANTLING 2.4.1 Safe Storage Entombment The reactor would be entombed at shutdown as described in Section 2.3. )

2.4.2 Dormancy A dormancy period of 30 years would allow the contamination in reactor auxiliary systems to decay to lower (although still radioactive) levels, and would permit delayed dismantling at reduced occupational exposure. In addition, a recent decommissioning study prepared by Battelle Pacific Northwest Labs as reported in NUREG/CP-0003 (" Boiling Water Reactor," by Richard I. Smith, p.137 Ref.13) states the volume of radioactive waste for burial is essentially unchanged af ter approximately 30 years of dormancy. This study implies that a facility would have to be entombed for approximately 50 years for any significant reduction in waste I volume or disposal costs to be res!! zed. Dismantling of the reactor vessel and '

internals af ter 30 years of dormancy must still be performed using sophisticated I remote tooling. None of the contaminated systems would decay during a 30 year dormancy to 0.4 mR/hr* at I cm exposure rate (selected as criterion for unrestricted use or access based on the precedent set for earlier decommissioning programs and used as the criterion in the AIF Study). It should be noted that the NRC recently proposed a guideline for unrestricted release of decommissioned f acilities of 5 mrem / year absorbed dose to any individual. NUREG/CP-0008, page 273 explains that this dose assumes an individual resides in the facility three years af ter f acility decommissioning for 2000 hours0.0231 days <br />0.556 hours <br />0.00331 weeks <br />7.61e-4 months <br /> per year in an average field of 0.005 mR/hr (one-half natural background). This level of radioactivity begins to approach the lower limits of detectability (0.0025 - 0.005 mR/hr). The 0.4 mR/hr at I cm assumed in this study for calculational purposes, is measured at the component. If the 0.4 mR/hr at I cm For the purpose of this discussion, I mR/hr exposure rate is approximately equal to 1 mrem /hr absorbed dose rate, row . Nes aos s/n

I NUCLEAR ENERGY SERVICES, INC. DOCUMENT NO. 81A0623 PAGE I2 OF 67 is applied to the same pathways analysis used for the NRC guideline of 5 mrem / year, the annual exposure rate would be lower than 5 mrem / year. Exposure rate is approximately inversely proportional to distance for large components, and  ;

1 inversely proportional to distance squared for small components. At a habitable '

distance of 100 cm from the component, the field would be at least two orders of I

magnitude lower (0.004 mR/hr) than at I cm. Therefore the 0.4 mR/hr at I cm assumed in the study is approximately the same as the proposed NRC guideline. If an additional three years decay were allowed prior to occupancy (as in the NRC analysis), the 2000 hr/ year dose would be approximately 4 mrem / year.

A dormancy period of 85 years would allow the highest level contaminated system (the steam generator system) to decay to unrestricted' access levels (0.4 mR/hr at I cm). All other contaminated systems are assumed to have decayed to unrestricted access Icvels at this time. Dismantling of the reactor vessel and internals must still be performed by remote tooling.

A dormancy period of approximately 100 years is estimated to provide sufficient time for the radioactive vessel internals to decay to levels low enough to permit manual removal. Specifically, the most highly activated core shroud would decay l

to a contact exposure rate of approximately 300 mR/hr (exclusive of Ni-59 (approximately 30 mR/hr); and niobium 94, which may not be present). This reduced radiation level would eliminate the need for special remote-operated underwater cutting tools, necessary for dismantling at reactor shutdown, to I segment and remove internals and vessel segments. Local supplementary shielding may be required for removal of vessel internals. A 100 year dormancy period is estimated to be sufficient to allow contamination in reactor auxiliary systems , )

(primarily cobalt 60) to decay to unrestricted access levels (0.4 mR/hr at I cm).

The decay process would eliminate the neeo for decontamination of any systems.

I For safe storage entombment there would be no need for a full-time physical security guard force during the dormancy period, since all radioactive material is contained within the entombment barrier. For the purpose of this study, it is )

considered that periodic inspections would be made in accordance with USNRC

. Regulatory Guide 1.85 (Ref.11) as described below.

FORM e NES 20S 5/79

l l

A dormancy period would require monitoring or intrusion and radiation detectors.

i The alarms for these detectors would be installed in either an adjacent manned utility-owned facility, or in local law enforcement agency facilities. These monitor 3 must be inspected and maintained periodically.

l The plant buildings and grounds must be maintained to ensure the integrity of the l

perimeter fence and access doors to the plant buildings. These physical barriers wot 1 be inspected quarterly in accordance with USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.86.

A facility radiation survey would be performed at least quarterly to verify that radioactive materials were being contained within the entombment barriers.

An environmental radiation survey would be performed at least semiannually to verify compliance with all environmental protective requirements.

2.4.3 Delayed Removal / Dismantling

, At the end of a dormancy period, the dismantling and removal phase of the decommissioning program would be initiated. In general, all remaining radioactive structures, systems and components would be removed and shipped to controlled burial sites. The remaining non-radioactive systems and components would be removed and scrapped. All structures would be demolished to a level of 3 feet below grade and non-contaminated concrete would be used on-site for fill. The I disposition of specific structures, systems and components are discussed below.

Access barriers installed or constructed for the entombment alternative must be removed. The concrete entombment barrbr over the vessel, reactor coolant g pumps, steam generators, pressurizer, and fuel transfer canal must be dismantled 185 by controlled blasting.

All non-contaminated piping, valves, pumps and electrice! equipment would be removed from the reactor building and either salvaged or sold for scrap. The overhead crane would be the last piece of equipment to be dismantled within the reactor building. The reactor building would be removed by controlled blasting, g wrecking ball, and tocch cutting.

PAGE I4 OF 67 I

Concurrent with removal of the components in the reactor building, systems non-essential to the dismantling activities may be removed from the remaining buildings on-site. Circulating water pumps, tanks and piping would be removed and I scrapped. The systems essential to dismantling (and which have been maintained during dormancy) such as lighting and ventilation would be secured and removed from each building when they are no longer required to support dismantling.

j Structural steel would be cut into shippable lengths and sold for scrap. Concrete floors, walls and roofs would be removed and used as fill for the building cavities i below grade level. Local sand or soil may be used to fill the remaining foundation cavities to grade level. The site would be graded as required to conform to the I surrounding site contour.

A final radiation survey would be performed to ensure there is no radiation in excess of unrestricted access levels. Upon approval of the final survey, the l USNRC would terminate the possession-only license and. return the site to unrestricted use.  ;

3. COST ESTIMATES The basis for the cost estimates was the AIF/NESP-009 study report, "An Engineering Evaluation of Nuclear Power Reactor Decommissioning Alternatives" by W.3. Manion and T.S. LaGuardia (Ref.1). The cost estimates are summarized on Table 3.1. T.he assumptions made concerning the size of the Prairie Island plants relative to the AIF study reference plant, labor rates in Red Wing, Minnesota, shipping distance for waste disposal, cost impacts af ter a 100 year dormancy period, and insurance provisions are listed in Table 3.2. The unit cost factors used in the estimate for Prairie Island are in 1979 dollars and are adjusted to reflect the labor cost in the vicinity of the plant. A list of the cost factors used in this study is shown on Table 3.3.

3.1 PRIMARY DECOMMISSIONING ALTERNATIVES The cost estimates for the primary decommissioning alternative of Prompt Removal / Dis-mantling and Safe Storage Entombment are summarized in Table 3.1, with and withcut a 25% contingency. The costs for each major activity are presented in Tables 3.4 and 3.5.

Table 3.6 lists the notes referenced in the cost tables to explain key elements of specific work activities.

3.2 COMBINATION ALTERNATIVE The cost estimate for the Safe Storage Entombment-Delayed Removal / Dismantling combin-ation decommissioning mode is shown graphically in Figures 4 and 5. It is also summarized in Table 3.1 (with and without contingency). Dismantling af ter 30 year and 85 year dormancy periods are discussed generally in the following section. Dismantling cost advantages and estimated costs following 100 years of dormancy are discussed in detail.

3.2.1 Safe Storage Entombment-Delayed Removal / Dismantling The curves plotted on Figures 4 and 5 graphically represent the costs of various decommissioning alternatives at any point in time. Figures 4 and 5 are useful in representing the times at which reductions in decommissioning costs occur due to technical simplification. The most significant cost reduction breakpoint at 100 years has been calculated and plotted on Figures 4 and 5. Cost reductions at 30 years and 85 years have not been calculated for this report, but their approximate magnitudes are generally discussed in the following paragraphs.

PAGE 16 OF 67 Safe storage entombment with a 30 year dormancy period prior to removal-dismantling does not provide a decommissioning cost advantage from decay of radionuclide inventory. Radiation levels on reactor piping and components would be too high at plant shutdown to decay during the 30 year dormancy to the assumed L unrestricted release criteria of 0.4 mR/hr at I cm. None of the conuminated systems would decay to unrestricted access levels and would therefore require

{ shipping to and burial at a controlled burial site with the associated undistributed overhead costs. Accordingly, there would be no significant dismantling cost reductions from delaying dismantling for 30 years. The 30-year delayed dismanti-ing costs would be greater than the prompt dismantling cost (in 1979 dollars)

I l

b'ecause of the annual maintenance and surveillance cost of $128,600 for 30 years, and the additional expense of entombing the facility at shutdown.

I l

The first removal-dismantling cost reduction (not calculated for this report and, therefore, not shown on Figures 4 and 5)is expected to occur at 85 years based on the AIF study results when the system with the highest contamination level decays l

to assumed unrestricted access levels (0.4 mR/hr at I cm) and does not have to be decontaminated, shipped and buried. The controlling system in this case is the i f steam generator system which has an estimated initial contact surface exposure rate of 31 R/hr primarily frora Cobalt-60 contamination. It takes approximately 85 years for the Cobalt-60 in this system to decay to 0.4 mR/hr, at which time a I dismantling cost reduction is possible. This reduction results from the reduction of decontamination, shipping and burial costs, and from sin.;lified concrete removal using conventional removal techniques at a lower cost ($95/yd3 vs $355/yd3),

These reductions cre associated with critical path activities, and accordingly l reduced period dependent undistributed costs are also included.

The second removal / dismantling cost reduction occurs at approximately 100 years, j The 100 year cost reouction is estimated to be approximately a factor of 2 larger I th'an the 85 year cost reduction discussed above. At this time, costs change due to B

l TABLE 3.2 g ASSUMPTIONS USED IN DECOMMISSIONING COST ESTIMATE FOR PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT

1. Plant piping and component quantities are approximately the same as the refereace PWR plant in the AIF Study. Adjustments for volumes of concrete and steel were made per data and drawings of the Prairie Island Plant. Cost reductions due to decommissioning both units concurrently were taken into account.
2. Contract labor costs were estimated from rates provided by Northern States Power Company for Red Wing, Minnesota area.

l 3. Consultant rates were estimated at $45/hr (vs $30/hr in the AIF study).

4. Salaried employee and craf t labor rates used in the study were. increased by 27% over those used in the AIF Study (to account for escalation from 1973 to 1979 and regional variation).
5. Raw material and capital equipment costs were increased by 69% and 38% respective-ly, over those used in the AIF Study (for escalation and regional variation).
6. All costs shown are in 1979 dollars.
7. Shipping costs were based on a 1,564 mile trip to the Hanford, WA burial grounds (one way). The Hanford facility was used as the basis for burial costs.
8. No decontamination would be required during dismantling af ter a 100 year dormancy period.

5 9. Disposal of the reactor vessel and internals af ter a 100 year dormancy period would still require controlled burial as either low specific activity (LSA) or large quantity I radioactive material. Estimated cost for burial of the vessel and interrals af ter 100 years decay is approximately 10% of the cost to bury these components if dismantled at shutdown.

I 10. Contaminated piping and components would decay to unrestricted access levels during a 100 year dormancy period.

I 11. Property insurance during decommissioning includes liability for equipment and plant scrap value during decommissioning. Following decommissioning, no property insur-ance is carried. Builders risk insurance is included in subcontract labor costs.

I 12. Scrap value credit (based on value of metal being melted down and reused) is included in the cost estimate calculations. Scrap value of non-contaminated metal is considered to cancel the cost for its removal from on-site laydown areas, by decommissioning contractors.

I No equipment salvage value (based on resale as used equipment) is considered in the estimates since salvage values can not be predicted with reasonable accuracy. This assumption is conservative.

13. The costs shown in Table 3.4 are based on segmenting the reactor vessel and internals into the maximum size that can be shipped without exceeding roadweight limits for a loaded tractor trailer (includes payload, shielding, cask and tie-downs) and the 60,000 I curie per shipment burial limit at the Hanford burial site.

I 14. 'Due to the high degree of integration between Prairie Island Unit I and Unit 2, single unit decommissioning (while the other unit is operating) is not considered feasible.

Physical division of many site structures is difficult. These assessments are the basis for the following assumptions:

A. Decommissioning of both plant units would occur approximately simultaneoulsy.

I B. Removal costs for the turbine, radwaste, resin disposal, and auxiliary buildings, screenhouse, fuel handling area, discharge structures, and the site canals are accounted for in the estimate for the first unit decommissioned. This makes the second unit decommissioning costs appear ietatively low.

C. Only one decommissioning staff is considered to be on site (rather than two working in parallel).

D. Bac filling costs, grading costs, and scrap value are divided e'venly between units I ar< 2 for accounting purposes, even though this is not physically representative.

I E.

F.

Reactor Vessel cutting equipment is purchased only once and reused on the second unit.

Shared facility and engineering effort costs are accounted in the first unit costs.

15. It is assumed that the canals can be filled by grading from high spots on the site landscape, if the canals are to be filled with purchased fill trucked onto the site, the estimated removal / dismantling cost would increase by $1,158,800.00.
16. The costs of all required safety analyses and safety measures for the protection of the general public, the environment, and decommissioning workers (as presently identified by NRC Regulatory Guide 1.86) are included in all of the cost estimates.

The costs for compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements are also included in these estimates. The applicable regulatory requirements are:

I 10 CFR 20 " Standards for Protection Against Radiation".

10 CFR 30 " Rules of General Applicability to Licensing of Byproducts Materials".

I 10 CFR 40," Licensing of Source Material".

10 CFR 50," Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities".

a. This activity would be performed by the utility staff. The ccst is included in the undistributed cost category.
b. During pre-decommissioning, the utility staff consists of the plant operations staff and utility craf t labor (such as mechanics, health physics technicians, maintenance personnel) to be used during decommissioning.
c. Decommissioning staff startup consists of the administrative staff contracted to perform the decommissioning. This would include a project superintendent, adminis-trative personnel, health physics technicians, clerks, and craf t labor.
d. Decommissioning staff (af ter Activity 31) for dismantling represents a reduced dismantling workforce because of the reduced work activity,
e. Nonessential systems are:

Main Steam and Turbine Bypass Chemical and Volume Control Emergency Core Cooling Containment Vessel Internal Spray Containment Spray Additive Auxiliary Feedwater Cooling Water Sampling System Emergency Diesel Generator Condensate and Feedwater Chemical Injection Steam Generator Blowdown Turbine Generator Main Condenser and Air Removal Circulating Water l

The total includes processing (i.e., oil fueled evaporation of liquid wastes and solidification in cement) which is not considered a decontamination or removal cost, and is therefore, not tallied in any of the other table columns. Therefore, the total activity cost is greater than the sum of the shipping and burial costs shown.

4. SCHEDULE ESTIMATES 1

The schedule for each major activity in the prompt removal / dismantling program is shown on Table 4.la. Table 4.1.b lists the estimated schedule for delayed dismantling af ter 100 L years of dormancy. The duration of entombment activities is shown in Table 4.2.

b It is assumed that both Prairie Island units are decommissioned simultaneously. Therefore, the schedule for second unit decommissioning would be approximately the same as those shown on Tables 4.1.a, 4.1.b, and 4.2. Dismantling of the second unit would be slightly behind the schedule of the first unit to permit sharing of major pieces cf equipment such as g the arc saw and large cranes.

FROM: B. MurrayI # ~ ~ COPIES: M. Seville T. Sawalli J. Long 155 B/W RE: Formal Report Document Control Numbers (DCNs) 040 B/W

- R In an attempt to diminish our problem with duplicate formal reports (especially NUREGs) getting into the system, we will standardize all DCN entries according to the attached table of priorities and options.

The procedure is simple: enter the NUREG (or other number) in the DIN, and read down the list of priorities to find the placement of modifiers like volumes, revisions, drafts, etc.

If the modifier is supposed to be placed in a field which already has an entry, move to the next option for the next possible placement.

For example, NUREG-0123, Volume 2, Number 3, Revision 1:

enter the NUREG number in th' DIN. Check the table and find the volume number must be placed in the DPN, and the number must be placed in the DRN. The revision number is last on the priority list, and is supposed to be entered in the DRN field, which is already filled. Move to Option 2 to find the next correct placement for the revision number, which is is the DIN using the format Rl.

We are willing to bet this table is not foolproof, so any problem reports which do not conform to the table should be given to Tom Sawallis for a decision.
