UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 December 20, 2021 Mr. Scott E. State, Chief Nuclear Officer ADP CR3, LLC 17101 Preston Road, Suite 115 Dallas, TX 75248

SUBJECT:

U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONS ANALYSIS OF ADP CR3, LLCS DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING STATUS REPORT FOR THE CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, DOCKET NO.

50-302

Dear Mr. State:

By letter dated March 29, 2021, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received your decommissioning funding status (DFS) report (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML21088A290) for the Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant (Crystal River).

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, ADP CR3, LLC (ADP CR3), is providing a total amount of decommissioning funding assurance in the amount of $635,904,000 for Crystal River.

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 ADP CR3 has satisfied the decommissioning funding assurance requirements of 10 CFR 50.82, Termination of License, for Crystal River 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.

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 Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.

S. State 2 If you have any questions in this matter, please call me at (301) 415-6634 or e-mail me at jack.parrott@nrc.gov.
