ABSTRACT One of the requirements placed upon nuclear power reactor licensees by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is for the ifcensees to periodically adjust the estimate of the cost of decommissioning their plant, in dollars of the current year, as part of the process to p. ovide reasonable assurance that adequate funds for decommissioning will be available whea needed. This report, which is.

scheduled to be revised annually, contains the development of a formula for l

Gscalating deconmissioning cost estimates that is acceptable to the NRC, and contains values for the escalation of radioactive waste burial costs, by site and by year. The licensees may we the formula, the coefficients, and the burial escalation factors from this report in their escalation analysis, or may use an escalation rate at least equal to the escalation approach presented herein.

']ne of the requirements placed upon nuclear power reactor licensees by the U.S. Nuc' ear Regulatory Comission (NRC) is for the licensees to periodically adjust the estimate of the cost of decomissioning their plant, in dollars of the current year, as part of the process to provide reasonable S

assurance that adequate funds for decomissio'iing will be available when needed.

This report, which is scheduled to be revised annually, contains the development of a formula for escalating decomissioning cost estimates that is acceptable to the NRC, and contains values for the escalation of radioactive waste burial costs, by site and by year.

The licensees may use the fonnula, the y

coefficients, and the burial escalation factors from this recort in their es:alation analysis, or may use an escalation rate at least equal to the y

escalation approach presented herein.

4, The formula and its coefficients are sumarized in Chapter 2.

The development of the fonnula and its coefficients are presen*ed in Chapter 3.

Price schedules for burial for the yel* of issue of this repert are given in Appendix A, for currently operating burial sites.

The calculations performed to determine tb hurial cost escalation factors, Bx, for each site for the year 1988 are > ' icized in Appendix B.

SUMMARY

The elements of decommissioning cost are assigned to three categories:

those that will es elate proportional to labor costs, Lx; those that escalate proportional to ent.rgy costs, Ex; and those that escalate proportional to burial costs, Dx.

Then, the escalation of the total decommissioning cost estimate can be expressed by Estimated Cost (Year X) = [1986 $ Cost] [A Lx + B Ex + C 8x3 where A, B, and C are the fractions of the total 1986 $ costs that are attributable to labor (0.65), energy (0.13), and burial (0.22), respectively, and sum to 1.0.

The factors Lx, Ex, and Bx are defined by Lx = labor cost escalation, January of 1986 to January of Year X, Ex = energy cost escalation, January of 1986 to January of Year X, and Bx = burh1 cost escalation, January of 1986 to January of Year X, i.e.,

burial cost in January of Year X / burial cost in January of 1986.

Evaluation of Lx and Ex for the yesrs subsequent to 1986 is to be performed by the licensees, based on the national consumer price indices and on local conditions for a given site.

Evaluation of Bx is accomplished by regal the costs of tjurial of the radioactive wastes from the reference PWRll)culating and the reference BWRt21, based on the price schedules issued by the available burial sites for the year of interest.

The results of these recalculations (Bx) are presented in Table 2.1, by site and by year.

3.0 DEVELOPMENT OF COST ESCALATION FORMULA a reference PWR(3)since the initial stydies were completed for decommissioning In the years and a reference BWRl4) power station, a number of updates were prepared in which the estimated costs were adjusted for escalation in the various cost elements. As a result of these analyses, it became apparent that the cost elements could be separated into three categories: those that escalate proportional to labor costs; those that escalate proportional to energy costs; and those that escalate proportional to burial costs.

Thus, it was possible to write a relatively simple equation that could be used to estimate the cost of decommissioning at some future time, given a cost estimate in present year dollars and the fractional escalation of these three categories of cost over the time period of interest.

That equation is:

Estimated Cost (Year X) =[1986 $ Cost] [A Lx + B Ex + C Bx]

where A, B, and C are the fractions of the total 1986 $ cost that are attributable to labor, energy and burial, respectively, and sum to 1.0.

Evaluation of these factors for the 1986 $ cost, are contained in Appendix B.

The fictors Lx, Ex, and Bx are defined below.

Lx = labor cost escalation, January of 1986 to January of year X Ex = energy cost escalation, January of 1986 to January of year X 8x = burial cost escalation, January of 1986 to January of year X, i.e.,

burial cost in January of year X / burial cost in January of 1986.

Values for Lx and Ex for years subsequent to 1986 are to be based on the national consumer price indices and on local conditions for a given site.

Thus, the licensee can evaluate these parameters appropriately for his particular site.

Evaluation of Bx is provided to the licensees via this report.

l APPENDIX B CALCULATION OF BURIAL COST ESCALATION FACTORS t

APPENDIX B CALCULATION OF BURIAL COST ESCALATION FACTORS The calculations necessary to determine the costs for burial of the radioactive wastes postulated to result from decommissioning of the reference PWR and BWP, are performed using a detailed spreadsheet. The spreadsheet evaluates the(b rial cos s)for each of the items originally costed in thedecommipsio referencePWR3fandBWR 4

presented in Addendums 4 1) and 3(21, respectively, to those reports. Those costs are based on the burial price schedule for U.S. Ecology's Washington Nuclear Center, located on the Hanford Site near Richland, Washington.

To account for the differences in burial price schedules between the Washington facility and the facilities in Nevada and South Carolina, the base burial costs for each of those latter sites are aisa calculated, using the spreadsheet, and are normalized to the cocts calculated for the Washington site.

In addition, to account for the dif ferent mixture and volume of waste associated with the reference BWR, the escalation factors are also calculated for the BWR, which are also normalized to the value for the Washington Nuclear Center. Thus, in the base year (1986), for the Washington site, Bx = 1.0/1.0, where (PWR/BWR) is the order of presentation.

For the Nevada site, Bx = 0.741/0.747, for the South Carolina site Bx = 1.323/1.422, as shown in Table 2.1 of the summary.

The spreadsheet calculations, which are too voluminous to present here, are summarized in Tables B.1 through B.6, for the years 1986 and 1988 and for each of the three sites.

Recalculation of the costs for burial is based on the same inventory of radioactive wastes as was pcstulated in the 1986 and 1978-80 analyses. Using the 1988 price schedules for the three sites, and dividing the calculated burial costs at each site by the Washington site burial costs calculated for the year 1986, results in 1988 values for Bx at each of the three sites, as listed in Table 2.1 of the summary.

As other low-level radioactive waste burial sites come into service in the various interstate compacts, values for Bx will be calculated using the price schedules for each of those sites, and will be incorporated into subsequent issues of this report.

One of the requirements placed upon nuclear power reactor licensees by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) is for the licensees to periodically adjust the estimate of the cost of decomissioning their plant, in dollars of the current year, as part of the process to provide reasonable assurance that adequate funds for decomissioning will be available when needed.

This report, which is scheduled to be revised annually, contains the development of a fonnula for escalating decomissioning cost estimates that is acceptable to the NRC, and contains values for the escalation of radioactive waste burial costs, by site and by year. The licensees may use the formula, the coefficients, and the burial escalation factors from this report in their escalation analysis, or may use an escalation rate at least equal to the escalation approach presented herein.
