Docket No. 70-3070 Mr. Peter G. LeRoy Licensing Manager S
2 7 1933 Louisiana Energy Services c/o Duke Engineering & Services, Inc.
P.O. Box 1004 Charlotte, NC 28201-1004
Dear Mr. LeRoy:
By letter dated September 21, 1993, you responded to NRC questions on decommissioning funding requested by our letter dated September 15, 1993.
Based on our review of your response, we now have a few additional questions which are provided in the enclosure.
Also, we acknowledge receipt of your revised Proposed License Conditions dated September 14, 1993. As discussed in our September 8 meeting, two of our comments sent to you on September 1 were incorrectly worded. Comment #111c should have stated " Product Vent System" instead of " Gaseous Effluent Vent System", and comment #116b should have stated " amount and type of NaF powder and pellets" instead of " amount of activated NaF'.
We will provide comments on your Proposed License Conditions at a later date.
Sincerely, Original Signed By John W. N. Hickey, Chief Enrichment Branch Division of Fuel Cycle Safety and Safeguards, NMSS

ENCLOSURE Comments Related to Facility and Site Decommissionina Contacts: Lidia Roche' Yawar Faraz 1.
Increase your estimates for facility and site characterization and generation of the decommissioning plan by $0.1 million each. NRC staff expects characterization of the CEC at the time of decommissioning to involve development of a characterization plan, conduct of the actual characterization activities and generation of the characterization report.
For a facility of the nature and size of the CEC, the staff estimates the characterization plan and the report to each cost $0.05 million, and characterization activities to cost $0.1 million for a total of $0.2 million.
In addition the staff estimates that generation of the decommissioning plan would cost about $0.2 million.
2.
Revise your estimate of 2 months required to characterize the facility and site to 6 months. Assuming that the characterization plan is finalized before cessation of enrichment activities at the CEC, the staff anticipates that an additional six-month period will be required to complete facility and site characterization.
3.
The staff anticipates that twelve months will be required to complete the final radiation survey, and an additional three months will be required to complete NRC's confirmatory survey.
Revise the overall project decommissioning schedule accordingly.
4.
Estimate the cost of maintaining the CF.C idle during the time prior to decommissioning plan approval and, after completion of dismantlement and decontamination activities, prior to license termination.
5.
State whether the two European pilot plants were characterized prior to centrifuge dismantling activities.
If so then provide levels of contamination detected outside process equipment, i.e. on walls, floors, soils, etc. prior to the decontamination of the two pilot plants. Did the pilot plants have facilities comparable to the Technical Services Area of the CEC 7 If so, then provide contamination levels detected in these areas as well.
6.
State whether a final survey was performed for Pilot Plant 1.
If so, then briefly describe the nature and extent of the final survey.
7.
State whether the $7.4 million cost of decommissioning 12,400 centrifuges at Almelo is appropriately escalated to 1993 dollars.
