OVERVIEW This Decommissioning Funding Status Repon is being submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1) by MidAmerican Energy Company (MEC), a twenty-five percent owner of Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 & 2 (Quad Cities).
CERTIFICATION MidAmerican Energy Company hereby certifies that financial assurance for decommissioning its 25% share of Unit One oiQa.d Cities is provided in the amount of
$93,067,750 in 1998 dollars. MidAmerican Energy Co.npany hereby certifies that financial assurance for decommissioning its 25% share of Unit 1 wo of Quad Cities is provided in the amount of $148,434,000 in 1998 dollars. These amounts are based upon a site-specific decommissioning cost study the results of which exceed the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) minimum formula amount calculated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.75(c), NUREG-1307, Rev. 8, and Regulatory Guide 1.159. MEC believes that the NRC minimum formula amount should be viewed as merely an assurance that minimum adequate funds will be available when needed. MEC further bel: ves that each site is managed differently and NRC minimums cannot be used as a basis for responsible decommissioning funding or planning.
ADDITIONAL INFORM ATION 1.) Amount of decommissioning funds estimated to be required pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(b) and (c).
In a report dated January,1997 and updated in October 1997, TLG Services, Inc.
prepared a site-specific Decomraissioning Cost Ftudy for Quad Cities. This study includes cost estimates for basic NRC radiological decommissioning within the meaning of 10 CFR 50.75(b) & (c) (hereafter, Basic Radiological Decommissioning), as well as for spent fuel management and for non-radiological decommissioning activities. The site-specific decommissioning cost to which funds are being accumulated exceeds the NRC minimum formula amount,;alculated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.75(c),
NUREG-1307, Rev. 8, and Regulatory Guide 1.159. The 1998 total deconunissioning costs and t 3asic Radiological Decommissioning costs for MEC's 25% share of Quad Cities can be broken down as follows:
Total Site Specific Basic Radiological Unit 1 593,067,750 588.579,250 Unit 2

3.) Schedule of the annual amount remaining to be collected.
Within the meaning of 10 CFR 50.75(c)(1)(i)(A), MEC collects the estimated total cost of decommissioning through rates established by " cost of service" or similar ratemaking regulation. The Iowa Utilities Board has currently approved the collection of $4.147 million per year in decommissioning funds for each unit, by order dated June 27,1997 in Docket No. APP-96-1, RPU-96-8. The Illinois Commerce Commission has currently approved the collection of $1.555 million per year in decommissioning funds for each unit,2, order dated October 22,1997 in Docket No. 96-0577.' MEC plans to continue making annual collections through the year 2012. However, these amounts may be re-
)
adjusted from time to time based upon ratemaking rulings, inflation, decommissioning fund earnings performance, updates to the site specific decommissioning cost estimate, or other factors.
4.) Assumptions used regardin; rates of escalation in decommissioning costs, rates of earnings on decommissioning funds, and rates of other factors used in funding projections.
The following assumptions were reviewed and approved by the ICC by Order dated October 22,1997 in Docket No. 96-0577. The same assumptions have been utilized in proceedings before the Iowa Utilities Board.
Decommissioning Cost Escalation Rate 5.30 %
Decommissioning Fund Earnings Rate 6.49 %
5.) Any contracts upon which the licensee is relying pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(v).
' There is currently pending, before the Illinois Commerce Commissim, an MEC application to revise the amount collected in Illinois.
3
MEC is not relying upon any long-term contract for purposes of providing
. decommissioning funding within the meaning of 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(v).
6.) Any modifications occurring to a licensee's current method of providing financial assurance since the last submitted report.
MEC continues to use the external sinking fund method of providing decommissioning funding assurance.
i 7.) Any Material Changes to trust agreements.
