Subject:
Report on Status of Decommissioning Funding for Reactors and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations In accordance with 10 CFR 50.75, "Reporting and recordkeeping for decommissioning planning," paragraph (f), Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (CEG) is submitting a report on the status of decommissioning funding for the reactors owned or co-owned by CEG.
Additionally, in accordance with 10 CFR 72.30, "Financial assurance and recordkeeping for decommissioning," CEG is submitting updates to the decommissioning funding plans for the independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs) owned or co-owned by CEG.1 Updated decommissioning cost estimates for ISFSI decommissioning are provided in the attached report in Attachments 29 and 30. With respect to the other information required by 10 CFR 72.30(b) and (c), unless otherwise noted in Attachment 30, there have been no changes from the information provided in the initial ISFSI decommissioning funding plans (see Attachment 30, References 1, 2, 3, and 5).
1 CEG currently has ISFSIs at each of its sites.
March 23, 2023 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 3 In accordance with 10 CFR 50.75(b)(4), 50.75(c), and 50.75(f), the estimated cost of decommissioning for financial assurance is based on either the NRC formula cost amount calculated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.75(c) or site-specific decommissioning cost estimates.
If used in this report, the site-specific decommissioning cost estimates are based on a period of safe storage that is specifically described in the estimates. Site-specific cash flows from the site-specific cost estimates are included, as applicable. Unless otherwise noted, the specific cash flow analysis for the site-specific decommissioning cost estimates conservatively assumes all expenses in a year are incurred at the beginning of year (i.e., beginning of year convention) during the decommissioning period. The cash flow analysis for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS), Unit 1 assumes that half of the current year contributions are included in the current year earnings to estimate payment of contributions throughout the year (i.e., a mid-year convention). CEG uses a mid-year convention in this instance because the contributions are made monthly at a constant rate throughout the year.
Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2 is co-owned by Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC (82%), an indirect CEG co-owned subsidiary, and Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) (18%).
The information provided in this letter for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2 includes summary statements provided and verified by LIPA.
For shutdown units, the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(v) and (vii) are also included in this report.
CEG has not made a final determination of the decommissioning option for any of its operating nuclear units. CEG uses the formula cost amount or the site-specific decommissioning cost estimates to demonstrate adequacy of funding to meet regulatory requirements. To the extent the site-specific cost estimates assume a decommissioning option, CEG may select a different decommissioning option in the future for any of its nuclear units, recognizing that the chosen option must meet NRC requirements for decommissioning funding.
Financial assurance for decommissioning has been provided for all units.
Due to recent market performance, Peach Bottom, Unit 1, did not meet the minimum funding assurance criteria under 10 CFR 50.75 and 10 CFR 50.82 as of December 31, 2022, based solely on the trust fund balance. Financial assurance for decommissioning this reactor is provided by the external sinking fund method, coupled with an external trust fund, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(ii). The source of revenue for the external sinking fund is a "non-bypassable charge" approved by the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission (PaPUC) authorizing PECO Energy Company to continue to collect decommissioning funds for CEG.
The amount to be collected will be adjusted, as necessary, in accordance with the applicable tariff in the next submission to the PaPUC of the Nuclear Decommissioning Cost Adjustment (NDCA) to cover any funding shortfall that exists at that time. This cost adjustment is made every five years pursuant to PaPUC Electric Tariff No. 4. The next rate adjustment will be effective January 1, 2028. The PaPUC was notified that the amount collected may need to be adjusted in the next filing. CEG's ability to adjust the amount collected for Peach Bottom, Unit 1, is consistent with the guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.159, "Assuring Availability of Funds for Decommissioning Nuclear Reactors," Revision 2, page 13, which provides that, "Adjustments to the annual amount of funds being set aside may be made to coincide with rate cases considered by a licensee's public utility commission (PUC)."
March 23, 2023 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 4 Disbursements made through December 31, 2022 from the decommissioning trust funds since the last report, other than those for allowed administrative costs and other incidental expenses of the fund in connection with the operation of the fund per 10 CFR 50.75(h)(1)(iv), were in support of decommissioning planning. Dresden Unit 1, Peach Bottom Unit 1, and Three Mile Island Unit 1 disbursements contained additional costs in support of decommissioning activities as outlined in their respective attachments.
There are no regulatory commitments contained within this letter.

Page 1 of 2 ATTACHMENT 1 Labor, Energy, and Burial Factors Used in Calculations (All Facilities)
The labor, energy, and burial indexes used are consistent with those described in NUREG-1307, Revision 19, issued February 13, 2023.
The current labor cost indexes used are obtained from the Employment Cost Index, published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Specifically, Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (CEG) used the Employment Cost Index for total compensation for private industry workers by region. The labor adjustment factors were calculated according to Section 3.2 of NUREG-1307, Revision 19, using fourth quarter 2022 data. Table 1 shows the data used for this calculation.

Labor, Energy, and Burial Factors Used in Calculations (All Facilities)
The waste burial adjustment factors used are taken from Table 2-1 of NUREG-1307, Revision 19, based on 2022 data. The adjustment factors CEG used assume a combination of compact-affiliated and non-compact facilities for sites affiliated with a compact. This is consistent with current waste disposal practices at CEG and consistent with typical waste disposal practices during decommissioning. For sites not affiliated with a compact, the values for generators located in unaffiliated states were used.
Table 3 summarizes the data used for the calculation of the waste adjustment factors.

Annual Radiological Decommissioning Funding Assurance and Spent Fuel Management Report for Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 (December 31, 2022 dollars, thousands)
(a) A formula cost amount using the formula in 10 CFR 50.75(c) is not applicable because Dresden, Unit 1, has been shutdown since October 31, 1978, and some decommissioning activities have already occurred on this unit. However, the amount to decommission Dresden, Unit 1, was calculated pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(c) to be $600.3 million (as of December 31, 2022). Dresden, Unit 1, was a BWR reactor that operated at a maximum power level of 700 MWt (< 1200 MWt as specified in 10 CFR 50.75(c)). This amount assumes Dresden, Unit 1, was a BWR reactor type rated at a power capacity of 1200 MWt as required by the formula in 10 CFR 50.75(c). The calculation of this value assumes the labor, energy, and burial factors described in Attachment 1 and does not account for decommissioning activities that have occurred for Dresden, Unit 1.
In accordance with the regulatory requirements, the site-specific amount is reported per 10 CFR 50.75(b)(4), 50.75(f), 50.82(a)(8)(iii), and 50.82(a)(8)(v)(B) and assumes a DECON scenario as described in the site-specific cost estimate (SSCE) (DECOM-2020-EST-DRE1, Revision 2, "Decommissioning Cost Analysis Report Dresden Nuclear Power Station Unit 1"). The decommissioning cost estimate has been adjusted consistent with the description of planned decommissioning activities in the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1, Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR), as most recently updated in a letter from Michael P. Gallagher to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission dated March 19, 2018. The costs have been escalated from the 2020 dollars reflected in the 2020 decommissioning cost estimate to estimated costs as of December 31, 2022.
Decommissioning expenditures prior to the year the SSCE updates were prepared (historical expenditures) are not included in the estimated total cost of decommissioning in the final SSCE reports. Also, the amount reported does not include cash flows from the SSCE estimate for the 2020 through 2022 annual radiological costs because CEG considers the SSCE estimated costs for 2020 through 2022 decommissioning activities to be historical expenditures at the time the 2023 decommissioning funding assurance report is generated.
(b) The costs from the current detailed site-specific ISFSI decommissioning cost estimate have been escalated to December 31, 2022 dollars using published escalation indices. Attachment 30 provides information on the detailed decommissioning funding plan, detailed site-specific ISFSI decommissioning cost estimate, and the occurrence and the effect on the ISFSI decommissioning costs of the events listed in 10 CFR 72.30 (c)(1)-(4).

Annual Radiological Decommissioning Funding Assurance and Spent Fuel Management Report for Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 (December 31, 2022 dollars, thousands)
(c) The trust fund amount is the amount allocated for radiological decommissioning only.
The allocation of funds for radiological decommissioning is based on the fraction of radiological decommissioning costs to radiological decommissioning costs plus spent fuel management costs identified in the DECON scenario as described in the site-specific cost estimate (SSCE) (DECOM-2020-EST-DRE1, Revision 2, "Decommissioning Cost Analysis Report Dresden Nuclear Power Station Unit 1").
This allocation is for purposes of demonstrating adequate decommissioning funding assurance only and is adjusted, as necessary, to provide adequate funding assurance for radiological decommissioning and spent fuel management. No spent fuel management costs are planned to be incurred until 2029.
There are no past-due tax payments owed on the decommissioning trust fund activities as of December 31, 2022. Periodic payments of estimated income taxes are made by CEG during the year on a quarterly basis. CEG then obtains reimbursement from the trust funds. The reported trust fund amounts comply with the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.75(f) in that the amount of funds reported are those that were accumulated as of December 31, 2022.
(d) A 2% annual real rate of return is used as allowed by 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(i).
(e) The amount spent on decommissioning in 2022 is consistent with the projected 2022 expense total of $2,952 (December 31, 2022 thousands of dollars) from the site-specific cost estimate. The delta of $1,578 can be attributed to lower dormancy costs in 2022 than projected in the site specific cost estimate.
The amount spent on decommissioning in 2022 represents the 2022 charges to the Dresden, Unit 1, project. Prior to reimbursement from the decommissioning trust fund, these charges will be validated to confirm they are legitimate decommissioning expenses. Consequently, the amount reimbursed may differ from the value provided.
(f) Not all historical data is available, and therefore, the cumulative amount spent on decommissioning and the amount reimbursed are estimates based on the best information obtainable at this time.
(g) The allocation of funds accumulated for managing irradiated fuel is based on the fraction of spent fuel management costs to radiological decommissioning costs plus spent fuel management costs identified in the DECON scenario as described in the site-specific cost estimate (SSCE) (DECOM-2020-EST-DRE1, Revision 2, "Decommissioning Cost Analysis Report Dresden Nuclear Power Station Unit 1").
This allocation is for purposes of demonstrating adequate decommissioning funding assurance only and is adjusted, as necessary, to provide adequate funding assurance for radiological decommissioning and spent fuel management. No spent fuel management costs are planned to be incurred until 2029.

Annual Radiological Decommissioning Funding Assurance Report for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Unit 1 (December 31, 2022 dollars, thousands)
(a) A formula cost amount using the formula in 10 CFR 50.75(c) is not applicable because Peach Bottom, Unit 1, has been shutdown since October 31, 1974, and some decommissioning activities have already occurred on this unit. Furthermore, Peach Bottom, Unit 1, was a High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor (HTGR), which does not translate to a BWR or PWR as specified in the formula for calculating the formula cost amount, and hence a formula cost amount per 10 CFR 50.75(c) cannot be calculated for Peach Bottom, Unit 1.
In accordance with the regulatory requirements, the site-specific amount is reported per 10 CFR 50.75(b)(4), 50.75(f), 50.82(a)(8)(iii), and 50.82(a)(8)(v)(B) and assumes a DECON scenario as described in the site-specific cost estimate (SSCE) (DECOM-2020-DCE-PEA1, Revision 0-2034-LT, "Decommissioning Cost Analysis for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit 1"). The decommissioning cost estimate has been adjusted consistent with the description of planned decommissioning activities in the Peach Bottom, Unit 1, Decommissioning Plan. The costs have been escalated from the mid-year 2020 dollars reflected in the SSCE to estimated costs as of December 31, 2022.
Decommissioning expenditures prior to the year the SSCE updates were prepared (historical expenditures) are not included in the estimated total cost of decommissioning in the final SSCE reports. Also, the amount reported does not include cash flows from the SSCE for the annual radiological decommissioning costs for 2020 through 2022. CEG considers the SSCE estimated costs for 2020 through 2022 decommissioning activities to be historical expenditures at the time the 2023 decommissioning funding assurance report is generated.
Decontamination and dismantlement of Peach Bottom, Unit 1, will conclude by 10/31/2034 in compliance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(3).
(b) The trust fund amount is the amount allocated for Radiological Decommissioning only. There are no past-due tax payments related to decommissioning trust fund activities as of December 31, 2022. Periodic payments of estimated income taxes are made by CEG during the year on a quarterly basis. CEG then obtains reimbursement from the trust funds. The reported trust fund amounts comply with the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.75(f) in that the amount of funds reported are those that were accumulated as of December 31, 2022.
(c) The funding mechanism being used as the source of revenues for the external sinking funds is a non-bypassable charge approved by the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission (PaPUC) authorizing PECO Energy Company to continue to collect decommissioning funds for CEG. Adjustments to the amount collection was made in the March 31, 2022 filing of the Nuclear Decommissioning Cost Adjustment (NDCA) to the PaPUC. This cost adjustment is made every five years pursuant to PaPUC Electric Tariff No. 4. The last adjustment was effective January 1, 2023, and allows for the collection of annual payments from ratepayers of $4,213K through 2032.

Annual Radiological Decommissioning Funding Assurance Report for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Unit 1 (December 31, 2022 dollars, thousands)
(d) 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(ii) allows licensees to use a rate of return higher than 2% if the applicable rate-setting authority has specifically authorized a higher rate. The PaPUC approved a 3% real rate of return as part of the approval of the restructuring plan for PECO Energy Company (Letter from J. J. McNulty (PaPUC) to B. D. Crowe (PECO Energy Company), "Approval of Restructuring Plan for PECO Energy Company under Section 2806 of the Public Utility Code; Docket No. R-00973953,"
dated May 3, 2001). Accordingly, CEG uses a 3% real rate of return. The 3% is applicable through the decommissioning period as described in RAI #1 response provided in the Letter from Patrick R. Simpson (Exelon Generation Company, LLC) to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, "Response to Request for Additional Information Related to 2013 Report on Status of Decommissioning Funding for Reactors," dated August 15, 2013.
(e) The amount spent on decommissioning in 2022 is consistent with the projected 2022 expense of $1,159 (December 31, 2022 thousands of dollars) from the site-specific cost estimate. The delta of $245 (thousands of dollars) can be attributed to decommissioning work performed in 2022 that was planned to occur later in the site specific cost estimate. This work included asbestos abatement and hazardous waste removal.
The amount spent on decommissioning in 2022 represents the 2022 charges to the Peach Bottom, Unit 1, project. Prior to reimbursement from the decommissioning trust fund, these charges will be validated to confirm they are legitimate decommissioning expenses. Consequently, the amount reimbursed may differ from the value provided.
(f) Not all historical data is available, and therefore, the cumulative amount spent on decommissioning and the amount reimbursed are estimates based on the best information obtainable at this time.
(g) Peach Bottom, Unit 1, was shut down in October of 1974, with defueling of the core completed by the following June. Starting in 1975, the spent fuel was shipped by truck to Idaho. The final of 44 shipments was completed in February of 1977.
Consequently, no irradiated fuel for Peach Bottom, Unit 1, remains on-site; therefore, 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(vii) and 10 CFR 72.30(b) do not apply.

(a) A formula cost amount using the formula in 10 CFR 50.75(c) is not applicable because Three Mile Island, Unit 1, has been shutdown since September 2019, and some decommissioning activities have already occurred on this unit. However, the amount to decommission Three Mile Island, Unit 1, was calculated pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(c) to be $553.0 million (as of December 31, 2022). The calculation of this value assumes the labor, energy, and burial factors described in Attachment 1 and does not account for decommissioning activities that have occurred for Three Mile Island, Unit 1.
In accordance with the regulatory requirements, the site-specific amount is reported per 10 CFR 50.75(b)(4), 50.75(f), 50.82(a)(8)(iii), and 50.82(a)(8)(v)(B) and assumes a SAFSTOR scenario as described in the site-specific cost estimate (SSCE)
("Updated Site-Specific Decommissioning Cost Estimate for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1," March 21, 2023). The costs have been escalated from the June 2022 dollars reflected in the decommissioning cost estimate to estimated costs as of December 31, 2022.
The amount reported does not include cash flows from the SSCE estimate for the 2018 - 2022 annual radiological and spent fuel costs because CEG considers the SSCE estimated cost for 2018 - 2022 decommissioning activities to be historical expenditures at the time the 2023 decommissioning funding assurance report is generated.
(b) The costs from the current detailed site-specific ISFSI decommissioning cost estimate have been escalated to December 31, 2022 dollars using published escalation indices. Attachment 30 provides information on the detailed decommissioning funding plan, detailed site-specific ISFSI decommissioning cost estimate, and the occurrence and the effect on the ISFSI decommissioning costs of the events listed in 10 CFR 72.30 (c)(1)-(4).
(c) The trust fund amount is the amount allocated for Radiological Decommissioning, Spent Fuel Management and Site Restoration. The Spent Fuel Management exemption allowing use of the trust fund for Spent Fuel Management was approved on October 16, 2019 (letter from U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (J. Poole) to Exelon Generation Company, LLC (B. Hanson), "Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 - Exemption from the Requirements of 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR 50.75(h)(1)(iv) (EPID L-2019-LLE-0009), ML192549A179)." The Site Restoration exemption allowing use of the trust fund for Site restoration was approved on June 8, 2022 (letter from U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Amy M. Snyder) to Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (David P. Rhoades), "Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 - Exemption from the Requirements of 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) AND 10 CFR 50.75(h)(1)(iv) (EPID: L-2021-LLE-0030),
ML21140A311)."

There are no past-due tax payments related to decommissioning trust fund activities as of December 31, 2022. Periodic payments of estimated income taxes are made by CEG during the year on a quarterly basis. CEG then obtains reimbursements from the trust funds. The reported trust fund amounts comply with the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.75(f) in that the amount of funds reported are those that were accumulated as of December 31, 2022.
(d) A 2% annual real rate of return is used as allowed by 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(i).
(e) The amount spent on decommissioning in 2022 is consistent with the projected 2022 expense of $43,650 (December 31, 2022 thousands of dollars) from the site-specific cost estimate. The decrease of $7,736 can be attributed to the actual labor costs being lower than estimated.
The amount spent on irradiated fuel management in 2022 is consistent with the projected 2022 expense total of $17,176 (December 31, 2022 thousands of dollars) from the site-specific cost estimate (SSCE). The increase of $6,591 is due to timing of SFM spend.
The amount spent on site restoration in 2022 is consistent with the projected 2022 expense total of $0 (December 31, 2022 thousands of dollars) from the site-specific cost estimate (SSCE).
The amount spent on radiological decommissioning and irradiated fuel management in 2022 represents the 2022 charges to the TMI, Unit 1, project. Prior to reimbursement from the decommissioning trust fund, these charges will be validated to confirm they are legitimate decommissioning expenses. Consequently, the amount reimbursed may differ from the value provided.
(f) The amount of irradiated fuel management reimbursed is the total amount reimbursed from the decommissioning trust fund and the Department of Energy.

ATTACHMENT 30 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Decommissioning Funding Plan Updates
Page 1 of 5 ATTACHMENT 30 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Decommissioning Funding Plan Updates Pursuant to 10 CFR 72.30(b), decommissioning funding plans (DFPs) are required for all independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSls). One piece of the DFP is a detailed ISFSI decommissioning estimate. The detailed cost estimate is periodically revised based on the schedule for refreshing the full decommissioning cost estimate for the site.
In accordance with 10 CFR 72.30(c), "At the time of license renewal and at intervals not to exceed 3 years, the decommissioning funding plan must be resubmitted with adjustments as necessary to account for changes in costs and the extent of contamination." To update its DFPs, CEG either makes a full update to the DFP, updates the detailed ISFSI decommissioning cost estimate and affirms that the remainder of the DFP has not changed, or escalates the ISFSI decommissioning cost estimate and affirms that the remainder of the DFP has not changed.
Along with each DFP update for each ISFSI, information on the occurrence, and the effect on decommissioning costs, of each of the events listed in 10 CFR 72.30(c)(1)-(4):
(1) spills of radioactive material producing additional residual radioactivity in onsite subsurface material, (2) facility modifications, (3) changes in authorized possession limits, and (4) actual remediation costs that exceed the previous cost estimate must be included.
The table below specifies the current detailed DFP and current detailed decommissioning cost estimate for each Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (CEG) ISFSI. The current detailed DFP is unchanged as of December 31, 2022 for all CEG ISFSIs. For Limerick, and Peach Bottom ISFSIs, the current detailed ISFSI decommissioning cost estimate is unchanged as of December 31, 2022. The ISFSI decommissioning cost escalated to December 31, 2022 dollars is contained in the attachment to this letter indicated in the table below. For Braidwood, Byron, Calvert Cliffs, Clinton, Dresden, Ginna, FitzPatrick, LaSalle, Nine Mile Point, Quad Cities, Salem and TMI ISFSIs, a new detailed ISFSI decommissioning cost estimate is provided in Attachment 29 of this letter.

Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Decommissioning Funding Plan Updates The effect of each of the events listed in 10 CFR 72.30(c)(1) through (4) on the detailed cost estimates provided in Reference 7 for the ISFSIs at Limerick, and Peach Bottom is listed below. For these ISFSIs, the most recent DFP update prior to the one contained herein is contained in Reference 7. Reference 7 provides the effect of the events listed in 10 CFR 72.30(c)(1) through (4) as of December 31, 2020. Consequently, the effect of the events from December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2022 is provided below.
(1)
Spills of radioactive material producing additional residual radioactivity in onsite subsurface material:
No impact. There have not been any spills of radioactive material producing additional residual radioactivity in onsite subsurface material in 2021 or 2022 at any of the ISFSls at the facilities listed above.
(2)
Facility modifications:
No impact. There have not been any modifications to the ISFSls at the facilities listed above in 2021 or 2022 that would materially change the latest decommissioning cost estimate.
The ISFSI facility design at the time the cost estimate was prepared was incorporated in the estimate for the facilities listed above. Also, any ISFSI modifications (i.e., ISFSI pad expansions) required to accommodate spent fuel storage after permanent shutdown were incorporated in the cost estimate.
(3)
Changes in authorized possession limits:
No impact. There have not been any changes in authorized possession limits at the ISFSls at the facilities listed above during 2021 or 2022 that would materially change the decommissioning cost estimate.
The capacity of the cask used at the ISFSI at the time the cost estimate was performed was incorporated in the estimate for the facilities listed above.
(4)
Actual remediation costs that exceed the previous cost estimate:
No impact. As of December 31, 2022, decommissioning had not begun at any of the ISFSls listed above. Consequently, there have been no actual remediation costs that exceed the latest cost estimate.
Page 4 of 5 ATTACHMENT 30 (Continued)
Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Decommissioning Funding Plan Updates In Attachment 29 of this letter, decommissioning cost estimates are provided for the ISFSls at Braidwood, Byron, Calvert Cliffs, Clinton, Dresden, Ginna, FitzPatrick, LaSalle, Nine Mile Point, Salem, Quad Cities and TMI. The detailed cost estimates for Braidwood, Byron, Clinton, Dresden, Ginna, FitzPatrick, LaSalle, Nine Mile Point, and Salem ISFSIs were prepared in 2021. The detailed cost estimates for Calvert Cliffs, Quad Cities and TMI ISFSIs were prepared in 2022. Each of the items listed in 10 CFR 72.30(c)(1) through (4) was considered in preparation of the updated cost estimate. Additionally, the effect of the items in 10 CFR 72.30(c) from cost estimate completion to December 31, 2022 were reviewed. A discussion of each item is included below.
(1)
Spills of radioactive material producing additional residual radioactivity in onsite subsurface material:
No impact. There were no spills of radioactive material producing additional residual radioactivity in onsite subsurface material at any of the ISFSls at the facilities listed above through December 31, 2022.
(2)
Facility modifications:
No impact. There have not been any modifications to the ISFSls at the facilities listed above during 2022 that would materially change the latest decommissioning cost estimate.
The ISFSI facility design at the time the updated cost estimate was prepared was incorporated in the estimate for the facilities listed above. Also, any ISFSI modifications (i.e., ISFSI pad expansions) required to accommodate spent fuel storage after permanent shutdown were incorporated in the updated cost estimate.
