SUBJECT:

U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONS ANALYSIS OF DTE ENERGY COMPANYS DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING STATUS REPORT FOR ENRICO FERMI ATOMIC POWER PLANT, UNIT 1, DOCKET NO 50-16 (EPID NO L-2019-PMP-0118)

Dear Mr. Dietrich:

By letter dated March 31, 2021, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received your decommissioning funding status (DFS) report (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML21090A027) for Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant, Unit 1 (Fermi-1).

The NRC has reviewed and analyzed the site-specific decommissioning cost estimate, as required in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.82(a)(4)(i), and the amount(s) stated within the licensees decommissioning trust fund, as of December 31, 2020, for the above plant, as well as earnings assumptions and DTE Energy parent company (DTE) guarantee. Based on the reported decommissioning trust balance, together with earnings credits specified under NRC regulations, and any the parent company guarantee, other financial assurance mechanisms in place, the NRC has determined that as of December 31, 2020, DTE is providing a total amount of decommissioning funding assurance in the amount of $38,000,000 for Fermi-1.

This letter confirms the correspondence, described above, regarding DFS reports for permanently shut down power reactors as required under 10 CFR 50.82(a)(v) - (vi). As of the date of this letter, considering the available information, the NRC has determined that DTE has satisfied the decommissioning funding assurance requirements of 10 CFR 50.82, Termination of License, for Fermi-1 on December 31, 2020. A summary report completed by NRC staff reflecting decommissioning power reactor DFSs is expected to be completed and made publicly available by the end of calendar year 2021.

P. Dietrich If you have any questions in this matter, please contact Theodore Smith at Theodore.Smith@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, Signed by Smith, Theodore on 12/08/21 Theodore B. Smith, Project Manager Reactor Decommissioning Branch Division of Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery and Waste Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Cc:
