l Memorandum to: C. James Hollowey, Chief. License Fee Management Branch i
From:
Robert L. Fonner, Deputy Assistant General Counsel, Rulemaking and Fuel Cycle
~
Subject:
Fees for the Dismantling of the Pathfinder Nuclear Generating Plant l
In your memorandum to me of May 1,1989 you requested legal assistance in determining what fee should be charged to Northern States Power Company (NSP) with respect to an anticipated app 1' cation to amend its materials license to further dismantle and decosurission the Pathfinder plant. The only license now held by NSP for Pathfinder is a Part 30 license in the 3.P fee category in 10 CFR 170.31. An amendment to a 3.P license carries a flat fee of
$60.00. Your memorandum suggests that treating the anticpated amendment application as a special project would be more appropriate and allow full i
3 cost recovery for the NRC reviews, which you suggest will include a Safety Evaluation Report and an Environmental Impact Statement.
If an SER and E!$ will be done I would agree that the $60.00 amenalment fat for a 3.P license is inappropriately small.
In reviewing 10 CFR Pgrt 170 it becomes evident that dismantling and decomeissioning were intended to be full cost ifconsing actions. This is patently clear for facilities subject to fees under Section 170.21 and for major source material and special nuclear material licensees subject to fees under Section 170.31, where the fee schedules specifically refer to decommissioning as a full cost recovery licensing action. Although the decametssioning rule (53 FR 24018) includes byproduct material Itcensees, Part 170 does not refer to decommissioning in the schedule of fees for byproduct licenses. There is no record to indicate whether the omission of reference to decommissioning in the Part 30 schedules was simply an oversight, or reflected a determination that Part 30 fees for license amendeonts were already adequate to cover staff twview costs for decosmissioning licensing actions for byproduct materials licenses.
I note that no fee category 3 byproduct material license review or inspection calls for full cost recovery. Only category 5.8, field flooding tracer studies, calls for full cost recovery for license issuance, renewal or amenament for a byproduct material license. Category 12 special projects, has full cost recovery for ' approvals", but no fee at all for inspections.
Because all of the licensing fee categories also cover amendments, I would infer that if a license is to be modified, the modification is an amendment.
Further, because of the definition of special projects in 10 CFR 170.3(s), !
would infer that any activity that includes the use and possession of radioactive materials requires a license issued under the appropriate Part of b
i i
2 i
i the Commissions regulations and is not a special project.
This inference is l
strengthened by the fact that, because there is no inspection fee under l
category 12, there is no expectation of follow.up oversight of special l
project approvals. An absence of inspection oversight would be unacceptable when actual posession and use of radioactive materials are involved.
9 The dismantling and decomeissioning of Pathfinder will include the use and possession of radioactive material, activation byproducts, and is a licensing action in the context of 10 CFR Part 30, including the recently promulgated decommissioning rule. It would also seem clear that there will be follow up i
inspections and a close out inspection. It seems to me inappropriate to consider the activity a special project under these conditions.
Because $60.00 is too Irw a fee for the s'aff effort that will be involved I recommend the immediate publication of an amendment to Part 170 that would require full cost recovery for review of any application to terminate a Part 30 license under the decommissioning ruls. Immediate action is necessary to have such a rule applicable to NSP if their application is to be filed this summer. This office will be pleased to assist your in the preparation of such a rule.
