SUBJECT:

THREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATION UNIT 2 - 2011 DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING STATUS REPORT - REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, LICENSE: DPR-73, DOCKET: 50-320

Dear Mr. Lash:

On March 30, 2011, GPU Nuclear, Inc. (GPU) submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) the 2011 Decommissioning Funding Status (DFS) report for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 2 (TMI 2), (ADAMS Accession No. ML110950371) pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1). The NRC has completed its initial review of the Decommissioning Funding Status (DFS) report and requests the following information to complete its analysis:

RAI #1: Decommissioning Costs Provide the amount of decommissioning funds estimated to be required under 10 CFR 50.75(c).

Basis: Per 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1), GPU's DFS report must include, at a minimum the amount of decommissioning funds estimated to be required under 10 CFR 50.75(b) and (c). The DFS report did not include the amount of funds estimated to be required based on the formula in 10 CFR 50.75(c). GPU's submittal states that the decommissioning fund estimate, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(b) and (c) is based upon a site specific decommissioning cost study, Decommissioning Cost Analysis for Three Mile Island Unit 2, dated January 2009 and escalated to 2010 dollars.
