Additional Information
Request for Additional Information Application dated December 12, 1996 B&W Fuel Company Docket 70-1201 Please provide the following information:
Your revised decommissioning cost estimate appears to account for the cost of compacting the waste generated in decontaminating facility components. The. cost estimate, however, does not include adequate documentation of these costs.
Specifically, the estimate does not indicate how the 0.01 factor is incorporated in the calculation of labor costs for decommissioning the facility.
In addition, the estimate does not define a " unit" of waste for the compaction factor, nor does it indicate whether compaction will take place on-site or off-site.
Accordingly, you should submit additional detail on the cost of compacting waste generated from decontamination of facility components.
(Regulatory Guide 3.66, pages 1-9 and 1-10.)
2.
Your current Standby Trust Agreement, references B&W Fuels Company as the grantor throughout the Agreement (i.e., in paragraph 1, the signature page, the letter of acknowledgement, Schedule A, the specimen certificate of events, and the specimen certificate of resolution.)
Accordingly, you should revise the Standby Trust Agreement (including the attachments listed above) to reference Framatome Cogema Fuels instead of B&W Fuel Company.
3.
Section 2 of your Standby Trust Agreement states that "This Agreement pertains to the costs of decommissioning the materials and activities
... shown in Schedule A."
Schedule A to the Standby Trust Agreement lists the licensee's address as "P.O. Box 10935, Lynchburg, Virginia 24506" and lists the address of the licensed activity as "Mt. Athos Rt.
726, Lynchburg, Virginia 24504." Materials included with the current submission, however, state the licensee's address as "P.O. Box 11646, Lynchburg, Virginia 24506-1646" and state the licensee's " place of business and business address" as "3315 Old Forest Road, Lynchburg, Virginia." Unless Schedule A is accurate, the trustee may not be able to expend decommissioning funds on the appropriate facility.
In addition, the current submission did not update Schedule A to reflect the new cost estimate for license SNM-1168. As a result, the Standby Trust would allow the trustee to make payments of only $2,800,000, rather than $5,116,800, toward decommissioning under this license.
Accordingly, you should revise schedule A to reference (1) the current addresses of the licensee and the licensed activity and (2) the current decommissioning cost estimate for the license covered by the agreement.
