UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 July 8, 2021 Mr. Kelly Horn Head of Environmental Management Division of Nuclear Safety Illinois Emergency Management Agency 2200 S. Dirksen Parkway Springfield, IL 62703

SUBJECT:

RESPONSE TO ILLINOIS EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR THE MORRIS OPERATION DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING PLANS

Dear Mr. Horn:

By letter dated April 27, 2021, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) provided a draft environmental assessment (EA) for the GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) Morris Operation decommissioning funding plans (DFP) to the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) for review and comment (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System [ADAMS]

Accession No. ML21110A164). You provided IEMA comments by letter dated June 4, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21166A206). The NRC staff appreciates your review and comments on the draft EA. This letter responds to your comments.

The staff requested additional information from GEH, which GEH provided in a submittal dated June 17, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21168A257). In the submittal, GEH provided an updated DFP, Revision 5, dated June 17, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. ML21168A260). The DFP, Revision 5, includes the following information associated with IEMA comments:

The estimated total volume of low-level radioactive waste is provided in Table 6.1, Estimated Waste Volumes.

The decommissioning cost estimate was updated and increased to include the fee to be assessed by IEMA under Section 13 of the Illinois Lowlevel Radioactive Waste Management Act. This updated information is provided in Table 6.8, Packaging, Shipping, and Disposal of Radioactive Wastes, and Table 1.1, Decommissioning Cost Estimate Summary.

The NRC staff revised the draft EA to include the references to the updated DFP, Revision 5, and the IEMA comments (enclosed). Please let me know if this letter addresses your comments or if you have any further comments on the revised draft EA. Please submit any further comments to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Document Control Desk, ATTN: John McKirgan, Mail Stop: TWFN 4B34, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555.

Upon removal of the Enclosure, this document is uncontrolled.
