AmerenUE, submitted Letter ULNRC-04829, which transmitted the Callaway "Nuclear Decommissioning Planning," report dated March 21, 2003. Per request of the Callaway Plant Project Manager, we are submitting this clarification supplement for our Decommissioning Planning Report to provide additional details on our expected real rate of return. The real rate of return is the nominal rate of return, minus the escalation factor and taxes. If the real rate of return is 2% or less, then all the NRC requires is a declarative statement. If the real rate of return is forecasted to be greater than 2%, an accompanying statement acknowledging that your local rate setting authority has granted such a real rate of return.

In response to the NRC Staff request, AmerenUE is submitting this supplement to ULNRC-04829 for Callaway Plant. The current annual real rate of return for Callaway's decommissioning fund is less than 2% based on the NRC required funding for Callaway. This decommissioning financial plan has been approved by the rate setting authorities for AmerenUE's service area.

Very truly yours, Keith D. Young Manager, Regulatory Affairs PMB/mlo a subsidiary ofAmeren Corporation
