i 1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The University of Florida is a combined state University and land-grant college located in the northern center of the State.
The University is located in Gainesville, a city of 83,000, situated in north central Florida, midway between the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. The city is known as an agricultural and small industrial center.
Direct supervision over the University of Florida, its policies and affairs, is vested in the Board of Regents, a body composed of nine citizens from different regions of the state who are appointed by the Governor for nine-year terms.
University affairs are administered by the President with the advice and assistance of the Administrative Council.
The legislative body of the University is the University Senate.
TFa Vice-President for Administrative Affairs is the chief business officer of the University.
He is responsible for establishing policy relating to university business matters; coordinating the preparation of and control of the operating budget; collecting and disbursing funds in accordance with state statutes; managing campus security, auxiliary services and the mainte-nance of the physical plant and grounds; directing purchasing, the administra-tive computer, staff personnel and property control, and environmental health and safety.
1.1 Financial Support and Responsibility The University of Florida is financially supported by:
(a) Appropriations from the Florida State Legislature (b) Contracts, grants and private gifts (c) Fees To the extent that the Florida Legislature supports the State University System (SUS), these funds are distributed to the various universities and colleges, and the portion received by the UF is further distributed to the various Colleges, Schools and Departments.
Direct support of the University of Florida Training Reactor is derived principally from the operating budget of the College of Engineering and its unit, the Engineering Industrial and Experiment Station (EIES). The UF provides indirect support in administrative, surveillance, maintena: ice and sep-arate safety and radiation control functions.
It is difficult to es-timate the cost of these functions; certainly the Department of Nuclear Engineering Sciences, the University Police, the Radiation Control Office and the Physical Plant Maintenance Division have significant and continuous involvement in the UFTR. All these indirect costs are not included in the UFTR estimated cost of operations.
1.2 Budgetary Unit Supporting the UFTR The University of Florida College of Engineering - Engineering Industrial and Experiment Station supports, from its annual state funded operating budget, a broad range of academic programs in pursuit of the University's teaching and research mission.
The University of Florida Training Reac-l tor is one such program.
In addition to the EIES appropriated support, the UFTR derives funds from contracts and grants, and from fees charged l
t
F 1
for irradiation services. The major source of contract funds is presently from training programs for the nuclear utilities.
1.3 Financial Report for the University of Florida A Financial Report for the 1978-1979 University of Florida fiscal year is included as Attachment A.
It represents a fiscal reflection of programs accomplished, loans granted, equipment purchased, build-ings constructed and the resources utilized to carry out these objec-tives.
1.4 Litigation Against the University of Florida A review of the litigation pending against the University of Floridabl3 shows that there is only one case where the amount claimed in relief is substantial.
It involves a number of former students, who attended the UF under a specially designed Institute, demanding the award of a degree and monetary damages amounting to 6.3 million dollars. This matter is in the early stages of litigation and is deemed by the Uni-versity to be without merit.

i 3.0 DECOMMISSIONING COSTS The estimates below are based upon the following major assumptions.
1.
The moth-balling option will be chosen initially.
2.
Moth-balling will include fuel removal and disposition, removal or de-contamination of piping and process equipment external to the core, le-veling the shield tank to the top of the reactor, providing cover for same, general decontamination, and decontamination or removal of an-cillary facilities such as the rabbit system and the exhaust ventilation system.
3.
That moth-balling can be accomplished in 18 months with a 6-man UFTR labor force including health physics surveillance.
4.
The core contents of the reactor will remain Lndisturbed (except for fuel removal) for another 18 months (minimum).
The reactor room will remain a controlled radiation area under a possession-only license, and the health physics surveillance, security maintenance, and demolition planning will continue through this 18 month interval with a 2-man la-bor force.
5.
Core removal and demolition will commence no sooner than 3 years af ter the last reactor run. The cost of this last phase has been estimated by Rockwell International Corporation for the UCLA reactor f rifer to UCLA application for class 104 license dated February 1980) end are de-tailed below.
The UFTR is essentially identical to the UCLA reactor.
None of the foregoing should be regarded as a scheduling commitment by the UFTR.
The plan is partially designed to retain a force of experienced radia-tion workers for a period plausible for fuel removal and shipment. Other arrangements are possible and might be employed.
In particular, the high de-molition cost versus the low annual maintenance cost suggests that the room could be used indefinitely as a controlled radiation area housing instruc-tional or experimental facilities appropridte to such an area (sigma piles and subcritical assemblies).
The costs associated with each phase of the hypothetical shutdown are as fol-lows:
Mothballing Shipment of 24 irradiated fuel bundles at $1000 per bundle
$ 24,000 Other shipping costs
$ 20,000 6 man years $25,600/ man-year
$ 153,600 Miscellaneous supplies and expenses S
5,000 Coordination and administration 015% of the direct cost
$ 30,400 TOTAL Mothballing Cost..........................$ 233,300
Ultimate Demolition As estimated by Rockwell International for the UCLA reactor, and as used in the February 1980 UCLA Application....................$ 308,000 Add: Demolition planning, supervision, and heal th physics surveillance 3.0 man years...............$ 106,000 TOTAL Demolition Cost..................................$ 414,000 o

r 4.0 ANNUAL MAINTENANCE OF MOTH-BALL STATE One man-year equivalent per year for maintenance of controlled area (radiation monitoring, key control, lock maintenance)
Per Year
$ 30,000 All of the forecast figures are in 1980 dollars (current salary cost, etc.)
and no attempt has been made to introduce adjustments for future inflation.
