OFFICIAL USE ONLY - PROPRIETARY INFORMATION OFFICIAL USE ONLY - PROPRIETARY INFORMATION UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 March 9, 2021 Mr. Wyatt Padgett Licensing and Performance Assessment Manager Louisiana Energy Services, LLC P.O. Box 1789 Eunice, NM 88231
SUBJECT:
LOUISIANA ENERGY SERVICES, LLC, INTERIM APPROVAL OF DECOMMISSIONING COST ESTIMATE AMOUNT (ENTERPRISE PROJECT IDENTIFER L-2020-DFA-0006)
Dear Mr. Padgett:
We have reviewed your updated decommissioning cost estimate submitted by letter dated September 3, 2020 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)
Accession No. ML20255A131) and supplemented by an e-mail dated January 14, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21014A516). We approve the updated estimate of $689 million for the cost of decommissioning. Specifically, we find that the cost estimate is based on reasonable and documented assumptions, it is based on the costs of an independent contractor, it is based on unrestricted use, it includes an adequate contingency factor, and it adequately estimates the cost to carry out required decommissioning activities before license termination. We request that you proceed with obtaining assurances for funds in this amount and submit them within 30 days of the date of this letter.
Your submittal was assigned Enterprise Project Identifier (EPID) L-2020-DFA-0006. The EPID is considered CLOSED. A new EPID will be assigned for the review and approval of updated financial assurance instruments and an updated certification of financial assurance. Our safety evaluation report is enclosed.
