SUBJECT:

U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONS ANALYSIS OF OMAHA PUBLIC POWER DISTRICTS DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING STATUS REPORT FOR FORT CALHOUN STATION, UNIT NO. 1, DOCKET NO. 50-285

Dear Mr. Via:

By letter dated March 30, 2021, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received your decommissioning funding status (DFS) report (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System [ADAMS] Accession No. ML21098A159) for Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1 (Fort Calhoun).

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. Based on the reported decommissioning trust balance, together with earnings credits specified under NRC regulations, the NRC has determined that as of December 31, 2020, Omaha Public Power District (OPPD), is providing a total amount of decommissioning funding assurance in the amount of $542,090,124 for Fort Calhoun.

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 OPPD has satisfied the decommissioning funding assurance requirements of 10 CFR 50.82, Termination of License, for Fort Calhoun on December 31, 2021. 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.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of NRCs ADAMS.

ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

T. Via If you have any questions in this matter, please call me at (301) 415-6634 or e-mail me at Jack.Parrott@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, Signed by Parrott, Jack on 12/16/21 Jack D. Parrott, Senior Project Manager Reactor Decommissioning Branch Division of Decommissioning, Uranium Recovery and Waste Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Docket No. 50-285 Cc:
