SUBJECT:

GLOBAL NUCLEAR FUELS - AMERICA LLC INTERIM APPROVAL OF DECOMMISSIONING COST ESTIMATE AMOUNT (ENTERPRISE PROJECT IDENTIFER L-2019-DFA-0011)

Dear Mr. Murray:

We have reviewed your updated decommissioning cost estimate submitted by letter dated October 1, 2019 (Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS) Number ML19274C651). We approve the updated estimate of $272 million for the cost of decommissioning. Specifically, we find that consistent with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Paragraph 70.25(e) the cost estimate: (1) reflects the cost of an independent contractor to perform decommissioning activities, (2) is based on unrestricted use, (3) includes an adequate contingency factor, and (4) identifies and provides justification for key assumptions. We request that you proceed with obtaining assurances for funds in this amount and submit them within 30 days of the date of this letter.

Your submittal was assigned Enterprise Project Identifier (EPID) L-2019-DFA-0011. The EPID will remain open for the review and approval of updated financial assurance instruments and an updated certification of financial assurance. The Safety Evaluation Report supporting the approval determination is enclosed.

In accordance with 10 CFR, Section 2.390 of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC)

Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from ADAMS. The ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).
