,j NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 2
WASHINGTON, D.c. 2055H001
%0.,,,,j Novernber 28, 1997 MEMORANDUM TO: Claudia A. Seelig, Chief Program Analysis Branch 1
Program Management, Policy Development, and Analysis Staff, NMSS FROM:
John W. N. Hickey, Chief Low-Level Waste and Decommissioning Projects Branch Division of Waste Management, NMSS
SUBJECT:
DATA FOR FOTURE BUDGETS In response to Carl Paperiello's memorandum, dated June 5,1997, the attached table summarizes the contractor costs, staff hours, and Full Time Equivalents (FTEs) expended in removing sites from the Site Decommissioning Management Plan (SDMP) and the Ft. St. Vrain and Shoreham nuclear power facihties. Note that the contrar: tor costs and FTEs for the removal of the Mallinckrodt and Kerr McGee, West Chicago 3DMP sites are not included on the list, as these sitee, were removed from the SDMP in 1990, and did not involve significant contractor or staff time expenditures. Also, information concerning staff hours for the Allied Signal Corporation, and information concerning the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) costs for this site are not available, as ORISE did not keep records on a per site basis during the time the work was performed at the site. Finally, information on staff hours for the Aberdeen Proving Ground, United Technologies /Pratt & Whitney, and Wyman.
Gordon sites could not be developed in time to respond to Dr. Paperiello's memorandum.
Dr. Paperiello's memorandum stated that this information would be used to develop more realistic estimates of the cost to remove sites from the SDMP. In terms of both contractor costs and FTE expenditures, it is important to realize that future contractor costs and FTE may be impacted by ongoing Di ision of Waste Management (DWM) programmatic activities and that these impacts are not reflected in the attached summary. These activities, and their potential impacts, are:
1.
Approximately half of the sites currently on the SDMP will be remediated using the new decommissioning criteria. This may result in additional FTEs being expended in the development, or review, of site-specific dose assessments.

Contractors are being used to prepare EAs and EISs for several remaining sites, and these costs are not characterized in the attached summary. The need to develop EISs i
or extensive EAs for some sites increases the overall cost to
- remove" a cite from the SDMP.
3.
Some sites currently on the SDMP may elect to decommission under a restricted use option. This may result in increased staff or contractor costs due to the additional public participation required and possible need to develop EISs for the sites.
4.
The staff has undertaken a program to ' streamline
- the confirmatory survey process.
This may decrease contractor costs, while increasing NRC staff FTEs, Finally, it is important to recognize that the sites that have been removed from the SDMP were not unusually complex. Conversely, the sites that are still on the list may be more complex and controversial (that's why they are still on the list). If the unit costs were developed solely on the experience of the completed cases, we may substantially underestimate the level of effort required to successfully resolve these decommissioning ccses.
In addition, please note that between FY90 and mid FY97, NRC staff of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards charged approximately 3,876 hours0.0101 days <br />0.243 hours <br />0.00145 weeks <br />3.33318e-4 months <br /> (or 2.8 FTE) to the SDMP Program Management / Policy issue Resolution Technical Assignment Control (TAC) number, while the NRC Regional offices charged approximately 4,741 hours0.00858 days <br />0.206 hours <br />0.00123 weeks <br />2.819505e-4 months <br /> (or 3.4 FTE) to this TAC.
Therefore, in developing estimates of the resources needed to manage the SDMP in future budgets, the DWM staff will use the information in the attached table as a baseline for the estimate, and will incorporate information concerning: the resources that will be needed to decommission specific sites; information on the resources expended to address generic SDMP policy issues; and the staff's experience decommissioning sites under the new decommissioning rule, to develop more accurate estimates of the resources needed to remove the remaining sites from the SDMP.
