s The Applicant has not yet formulated plans and policies for the decommissioning and d1amantling of the PNPP at the end of its useful life.

However, the alternatives available for decommissioning and dismantling -

include the following:

o Mothballing - fuel and radioactive fluids and wastes removed; monitoring and surveillance required o Entombment - all highly radioactive components sealed in a structure providing integrity until decay to unrestricted levels o Dismantlement - radioactive material removed until unrestricted levels are achieved The prices, as estimated by the NRC in NUREG/CR-0672, for the three decommissioning alternatives include 12 million dollars for building demolition for each alternative and a 25% contingency factor. The price estimates exclude the cost of disposal of the last core but include the cost of deep geologic disposal of highly activated components. All estimates are summarized in Table 1.

Costs for Immediate Dismantlement The estimated cost for immediate dismantlement of PNPP, as estimated by the NRC in NUREG/CR-0672, is expected to be about $56 million dollars per unit.

The cost for disposal of neutron activated wastes, contaminated materials, and radioactive wastes is about is about $8.7 million.

The disposal costs include the container, transportation and burial costs.

The cost for staff labor is about $17.6 million and does not include speciality contractor labor. The costs for. energy during immediate dismantlement is about S3.5 million - $1.5 for electricity and $1.9 million

- for oil. The costs for special tools and equipment is about $2.0 million.

The cost for miscellaneous supplies is about $1.9 million. These supplies include expendable glass-fiber and HEPA filters, anticontamination clothing, expendable hand tools, decontamination chemicals, etc. Speciality contractors will cost about $0.4 million. This estimate includes cost for explosives.

l l temporary radwaste handling, and environmental monitoring. The cost for l nuclear liability insurance for a policy limit of $125 million is estimated to l be $0.8 million. The costs for licensing services performed by the NRC are I

explained in 10 CFR 170 and are estimated to be $0.05 million. Demolition of buildings on the site will cost about $12 million. These estimates are l

summarized in Table 2. -

l Estimatated Costs of Mothballing with Delayed Dismantiment l

The cost for mothballing PNPP with dismantlement after 30 years is estimated to be $69 million per unit. A 30 year storage period was selected because it is the most expensive mothballing option and will give a conservative estimate of costs. The breakdown of the cost for this alternative includes the same items as described for the immediate dismantlement alternative. These costs are summarized in Table 3.

I

i s

' These' cost estimates do not' include costs for maintaining each unit of the facility in a-safe condition (continuing care). The estimatad annual cost is about $75,000 or $2.25 million over the 30 year storage period.

Estimated Costs for Entombment with Internals Removed The costs for entombing the reactor af ter removing the highly activated

- reactor. vessel' internals is estimated to be about $40.6 million. The breakdown of the cost for this alternative includes the same items as described for the immediate dismantlement alternative. - These ' costs are summarfzed in Table 4.

A reactor can be entombed with the internals in place for about $35.0 million.

The more conservative entombment option, however, was used in .the ER/0L.

These~ costs do not include continuing care which is estimated to cost $0.04 million annually per unit.

a 320.3 Provide an estimate of the annnal cost to maintain each unit of the shutdown facility in a safe condition.

Indicate what is included in the estimate, assumptiora, made in estimating costs, and the-intended source to cover these costs.

Response

Annual cost of maintaining the shutdown facility in a safe condition (continuing care), pertains to two decommissioning alternatives - en-tombment and mothballing with delayed dismantlement. Continuing care for the entombment alternative is estimated, by the NRC in NUREG/CR-0672, to cost about $0.04 million annnally per unit. There-fore, continuing care for 100 years would add $4 million to the de-commissioning costs for the entombment alternative. Continuing care for mothballing with delayed dismantlement will cost about

$0.075 million annually per unit. Therefore, continuing care for the 30 year storage period will cost about $2.25 million, and can be broken down as follows:

Estimated Annual Cost Per Unit Cost Category (1978 dollars)

Staff Labor $45,600 Repairs, utilities &' services 10, 200 Nuclear insurance 2,400 Equipment and supplies 1,200 License fee 600 Subtotal $60,000 Contingencies (25%) 15,000 Total $75,000

320.4 If the facility is jointly-owned provide a copy of the joint participation-agreement setting forth the pro-cedures by which the applicants will share operating expenses and decommissioning. costs.

Response

A copy of the construction agreement for Perry units 1 and 2, dated July 22, 1974 is provided. ' Section 5 of the' contract provides in part:

"The companies will, as soon as practicable, enter.

'into an.agraement providing for the operation and maintenance of each Unit with an equitable sharing of the costs thereof and in accordance with the principals stated in the Memorandum of UnderstanMng and the CAPCO Basic Generating Capacity Agreement referred' to in section 1 hereof."

The companies have not yet entered into the agreement described in section 5 Although the Memorandum of UnderstanMng referred '

to in section 5..was terminated pursuant to an agreement between the companies effective as of. September 1,'1980, and although the CAPCO Basic Generating Capacity; Agreement was never executed, the applicant companies are still bound pursuant to.section 5 of the contract to enter into an agreement providing for the op-eration and maintenance of each Unit with an equitable . sharing of the costs thereof. It is anticipated that this operating agreement will be negotiated and entered into by the end of 1982 and that it will provide for the sharing of operating. expenses and decommissioning costs.

320 5 Provide a copy of the prospectus for the most recent security issues and a copy of the me.,t recent SEC Form 10-K and 10-Q. Provide a copy of the preliminav prospectus for any penaing security issue. Submit a copy of the Annual Report to Stockholders each year as required by 10 CFR 50.71(b).

Rigalatory Environment

i. -

The Company's retail electric sales are regulated by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO). The following discusses-several aspects of the Company's regulatory environment:

Rate Case Timetable The Ohio Revised Code specifies a timetable for utility company rate applications: F q

-- Notice of Intent to file an application

-- Application (Filed not less than 90 days following Notice)

-- PUC0 Staff Review

-- Staff Report of Investigation

-- Public Hearings

-- Commission Decision-(275 days following formal Application)

  • If a decision is not reached by the Commission within the 275 day limitation, the Company may seek Commission approval to place its proposed rates into effect, subject to refund.

T Rate Base -/

.l Rate Base, as evidenced in recent PUC0 Cases, is valued at a specified'date referred to as the date certain and is comprised of the following elements:

Plant In-Service (Valued at original cost)

,1 Test Year S

Provision is made for the test period and date certain in Ohio Revised Code s'a ction ' 4909.15(C), which states:

l'"(C) The~ test period, unless otherwise ordered by the public

  • utilities commission, shall be the twelve-month period beginning six

, jmonths prior to the date the application is filed and ending six

. months subsequent to that date. The revenues and expenses of the

- utility shall be determined during the test period. The date certain shall be not later than the-date of filing."

However, in the Company's recent applications the concept of a fully projected' future test year '(a test year matching the implementation of new rates) has been considered. No formal action has yet .been taken by the Commission in adopting >the future test year concept.

\ l Accou'nting for Deferred' Income Taxes r The Company normalizes deferred taxes as authorized by the PUCO. The '

Commission reduces rate base by the accumulated deferred income taxes.

4 Duquesne Light-Co.' Response to 320.6 Prescribed Treatment of Allowance for Funds Used During Construction In accordance with the uniform system of accounts prescribed by regulatory duthorities, an allowance for funds used during Construction (AFC) is included in construction work in progress and credited to other income for AFC attributable to borrowed funds. AFC is a non-cash item and is computed using a composite rate, which is applied to the balance of construction work _in progress and which assumes that funds used for construction are provided by borrowings and by preferred, preference and common stock equity. The AFC rate is calculated in accordance with Federal Power Ccmmission Order No. 561 issued February 2,1977. The debt component of the composite rate is included. net of the income tax effect as instructed in both FPC Order No. 561 and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission order at lRate Investigation Docket

'No. 89 dated July 30,1974. This accounting procedure results in the inclusion

'in property, plant and equipment of amounts considered by regulatory authorities as an appropriate cost for the purpose of establishing rates for utility charges to customers.

Rate 3ase-Pennsylvania is a fair value rate base jurisdiction. However, original cost has been used as fair value in recent rate decisions.

Accounting for Deferred Income Taxes And Investment Tax Credits Since 1970-71, Pennsylvania has been a normalization state insofar as the

. Federal income tax effects of liberalized depreciation and the investment tax credit. Since 1971, Duquesne has been allowed the normalization, and the subsequent recovery in rates, of the tax effect of using the Asset l Depreciation Range Method of calculating income tax depreciation._ Since 1974, Duquesne has been allowed the' normalization of the income effect of liberalized depreciation on post-1969 properties that increase productive

- capacity and the five year write-off of pollution control facilities.

[ Rate base is rtduced by the accumulated deferred taxes but is not reduced by.

the accumulated Job Development Credit (Investment Tax Credit).

s L* Fuel Adjustment Clauses

f. Duquesne presently has an Energy Cost Rate in effect which permits the recovery of the excess of all fuel and purchase power costs (excluding demand charges on parchased power) over a pre-determined base. Recovery is on a

- current basis in accordance with projected energy costs as determined by the Company.

Ohio Edison Company Response to 320.6 s.

- In the; State of Ohio, plant-in-service in' rate base.is valued at original cost depreciated. Also included in rate base is an. amount for CWIP for those

, projects that are 75% complete at date certain (limited to 20% of total rate base). Upon approval by the Public Utilities' Commission of including certain CWIP projects in rate base, the accumulation of ' allowance for funds for these projects are stopped. When these projects, along with other facilities, are added to rate base, the aseociated AFUDC is capitalized.

An allowance for working capital consists of a cash element based on the day rule, fuel stock, nuclear fuel, materials and supplies, deferred fuel, and offsets for customer deposits and one-fourth of operating taxes.

Deductions from rate base are customer advances for construction, deferred tax balances in FERC accounts 281 and 282 and 3% and 4% balances of accumulated investments tax credits.

The PUC0 permits the filing of both a 6-month actual and month estimated ,

partially-forecasted test period and a fully-forecasted test period. To date all Ohio Edison rate-case decisions have been based on the partially-forecasted periods thoroughly.

The PUC0 allows in'the cost-of-service analysis, included in the filing, full tax normalization and annualizations for wage increases and for the level of fuel cost at the end of the test period.

Fuel hearings are held every. six months by the PUC0 to set a levelized monthly .

electric fuel component to be applied to customer bills.for a six-month period. The level of subsequent fuel components can include, if permitted by.

the Commission, a reconciliation adjustment for an over or an under recovery-in a prior period.

Adjustments ;as the " cash" element and Coal and Oil Inventory, Material and Supplies -Inventory and any applicable Energy . Cost Rate Deferral as the "other"

~ element.. Compensating Bank-Balances ~are not pernitted-by the PaPUC.

A13 items included ~above are reduced by " Customer' Advances for Construction,"

" Deferred Income Taxes," and " Deferred Investment Tax Credits" to arrive at-the " Measure of.Value."

Pennsylvania :is currently determining rates' on an original . cost basis using a future test year if[ the' utility choses to use the future test year concept.

Final rates must be determined by the PaPUC nine months from the filing date.

Until the Company's recent retail filing, all' revenue determinations had been predicated on the " flow-through' tax methodology. In the Company's recent retail filing, the Commission has allowed the full " normalization" tax method' for both Federal'and State Income Taxes.

f The Company's fuel adjustment clause is characterized as the "Levelized - Energy Cost Rate" (LECR). ' The LECR is --calculated annually, ef fective January.1, on a projeted year basis, and includes the allowable costs of coal, oil, nuclear -

fuel, economy interchange, "other"' interchange, and the energy costs associated with Purchased Power. In' addition the costs of sulphur' oxide removal devices (lime and calcilox)-are included with the fuel costs. Fuel handling costs are not permitted. The LECR is'the same for'the entire year under normal operating circumstances.. '

Toledo Edison's Response to 320.6 Regulatory Environment The dominant factor in the regulatory environment of the Toledo Edison Company is the regulation of retail electric rates by th'e Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. This jurisdiction covers about 91% of total operating revenue. The following information applies to PUC0 regulation of electric rates.

1. Allowance' for funds used during construction is capitalized for each major project and is included in construction work-in-progress costs when such items meet the requirements for inclusion in rate base.

Allowance for funds is not treated as an income item in determining revenue requirements or operating _ income.

2. Rate base consists of property used and useful at original costs less depreciation, construction projects which are seventy-five percent complete, limited to no more than twenty percent of plant in service, and an allowance for working capital. Deferred income tax.

balances a of the date certain are used as an offset to rate base.

3. Accounting for income taxes is on a normalized basis, with deferrals -

and amortization eliminated from operating income for rate-setting purposes.

4. The fuel adjustment in effect in Ohio is specified by Ohio law (0.R.C. Ch. 4901:1-11). The procedure provides for recovery of estimated fuel costs for a six month period, adjusted for actual

~

costs incurred and over or under recovery in prior periods. The fuel cost recovery factor is held constant for the six month period.

Semi-annual hearings and an annual audit of cost data are required.

Allowable fuel costs include the cost of all fuel consumed, including nuclear, and fuel costs of purchased power. Someldenand costs of economic purchases may be included with prior _ approval of the PUCO. The fuel costs of all energy sales-for resale'are deducted from allowable costs.

I 5. The test year used in Ohio is a partially projected ~ test year, with the original filing in a case'being'three months of actual data and nine _ months proj ected. Subsequent updates of data are required, and the updated filing showing six menths of actual data and six months projected usually becomes the data on which the PUC0 staff recommendations and the Commission decision is based.

d DUQUESNE LIGHT COMPANY'S RESPONSE FOR 320.7 On April 30, 1981, the Company filed with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission a rate _ schedule affecting all classes of customers and estimated.to

. increase annual revenues based on levels of business at December 31, 1980,.by approximately $100.4 million or 14.9%. On June 29,-1981, the Commission entered an order instituting an investigation into the rate request and granting the Company the option to place a rate increase of approximately

$64.2 million or 10.4% into effect pending the outcome of the investigation if the Company reduced the increase requested to that amount. On June 30, 1981, the Company filed a new rate schedule in accordance with the option granted by the Commission. -On July 17, 1981,_the Commission approved the new rate schedule, thereby permitting the new rates to become effective .for service rendered on and after July 15, 1981, subject to refund with interest if the Commission's investigation results in approval of a small rate increase.

Petitions for review and supersedeas of the Commission's actions in the rate proceeding were filed by one of the complainants with the Pennsylvania Commonwealth and Supreme Courts. Two of the petitions before the Commonwealth Court are still pending. Unless the $64.2 million rate increase is reduced, it is expected that 1981 revenues will increase by about $29 million as a.

result of the Commission's June 29, 1981 order._ A final decision on the option rates of $64.2 million is expected before the end of January 1982.

Requested exhibits and reports are being provided.
