SAVANNAH Technical Staff STS - 147, Decommissioning Funds Status Report For CY 2011, Revision 0

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Decommissioning Funds Status Report is submitted by the Maritime Administration (MARAD) as licensee for the Nuclear Ship SA VANNAH (NSS) and covers the CY 2011 reporting period. This report incorporates the guidance contained in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.159-1, "Assuring the Availability of Funds for Decommissioning Nuclear Reactors," Rev 1, Reference (a).

In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1), each power reactor that has already closed is required to report annually the status of its decommissioning funds to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) on a calendar year (CY) basis. Section 2.0 of this Decommissioning Funds Status Report includes the seven (7) reports required by 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1).

In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(v)-(vii) as noticed in the Federal Register on June 17, 2011, each power reactor that has already submitted its site-specific Decommissioning Cost Estimate (DCE) is required to provide a financial assurance status report annually to the NRC on a calendar year (CY) basis. MARAD submitted its DCE with its Post Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR), Rev 1, Reference (b). Section 3.0 of this Decommissioning Funds Status Report includes the reports required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(v)-(vii).

Finally, Section 4.0 of this report provides information on regulatory commitments made by MARAD that are germane to decommissioning funding.

Because the federal fiscal year (FY) does not align with the CY, each annual decommissioning funds status report will include information from at least the two FYs that directly provide funds for expenditure during the reporting period. Prior to the submission of the report on (or about) March 31, the President will submit a budget request to the Congress for the upcoming FY. Because NSS activities are funded on an annual basis, the President's budget request is an early, although not definitive, indicator of future NSS decommissioning funding. Because that future funding can impact the decommissioning schedule described in the PSDAR, MARAD includes this public information for context, and in partial satisfaction of the 10 CFR 50.82(a)(7) requirement to notify the NRC of expected changes to content in the PSDAR.

1.1 N.S. SAVANNAH DecommissioningStatus The NSS is presently in protective storage. This phase of decommissioning activities is characterized by active surveillance, monitoring and maintenance of the nuclear facilities housed onboard the ship, and custody and maintenance of the ship as the primary physical boundary and protective barrier of the licensed site. Collectively, these are referred to as MARAD's licensed activities, and are reported annually to the NRC.

As described in Reference (b), and elsewhere, the license termination deadline for the NSS is December 3, 203 1.' Final decommissioning of the NSS nuclear facilities will be by the DECON method. In the interim, a project to bring the NSS into conformance with contemporary NRC SAFSTOR criteria (known as "SAFSTOR Preparations") has been described and committed to in Reference (b).

This report addresses the funding status for all three of these decommissioning phases - licensed activities, SAFSTOR Preparations, and DECON.

1.2 N.S. SAVANNAH DecommissioningFundingSources and Background The Maritime Administration is a modal agency of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT). It is a federal licensee as defined by the NRC. As such, funds for decommissioning and

'December 3, 1971 is the de facto date of permanent cessation of operations date based on completing the reactor defueling that date by tensioning the reactor vessel head with six studs.

Revision 0 5

SAVANNAH Technical Staff STS - 147, Decommissioning Funds Status Report For CY 2011, Revision 0 termination of the NSS license will be provided by federal appropriations. The budget process by which such appropriations are requested is deliberative and privileged, and is subject to Executive Branch priorities and direction. Furthermore, the legislative review and authorization / appropriation actions taken on such requests are fully within the purview of the Congress. MARAD by itself cannot guarantee that decommissioning funds will be requested by the President or authorized and appropriated by the Congress in any given fiscal year.

References (c), (d), (e) and (f) are the reports and correspondence associated with MARAD's decommissioning funds status covering CY 2009 and 2010. Together with reference (b), they describe the chronology of MARAD's decommissioning efforts and associated funding. Specific funding to support MARAD's licensed activities has been requested and appropriated annually since FY 2005.

These funds are sourced within MARAD's Ship Disposal appropriation. For each of the last few years,

$3 million has been budgeted for NSS licensed activities.

1.3 N.S. SAVANNAH CY2011 Funding The CY 2011 reporting period includes two federal fiscal years; 2011 and 2012, during which funds were available and expended. The internal deliberative process to develop the FY 2013 budget request was in progress for much of the reporting period. As described in section 1.0, the public details of the 2013 budget request are included to provide context, and in partial satisfaction of the 10 CFR 50.82 (a)(7)

PSDAR change reporting requirement.

Specific funding for the SAFSTOR Preparations and DECON decommissioning phases was not requested in any of the three fiscal years covered by this report. More detail regarding the narrative development of the MARAD budget requests and the absence of SAFSTOR Preparations funding is included in reference (f).

For the convenience of the NRC, Reference (g) provides a listing of internet addresses for the DOT budget requests for FY 2011 - 2013 (inclusive). For each fiscal year, the reference provides a link to both the DOT Budget Estimates (a summary and overview of the Department's total budget request) and the detailed MARAD Budget Estimates that support the DOT request. Discussions of NSS funding will be found in the chapters describing MARAD's Ship Disposal Program.

1.3.1 Fiscal Year 2011 Enacted FY 2011 began on October 1, 2010 and ended on September 30, 2011. The President's FY 2011 Budget Request for the Department of Transportation, including MARAD, was submitted to the Congress on February 1, 2010. The request for the Ship Disposal account was $10.0 million, of which $3.0 million was described for all NSS activities. The request specifically did not include funding for SAFSTOR Preparations (or DECON). The SAFSTOR Implementation Plan was noted; with a statement that MARAD was prepared to execute that implementation plan "whenever the necessary resources were made available." Funding of $3.0 million was provided in accordance with the request.

1.3.2 Fiscal Year 2012 Enacted FY 2012 began on October 1, 2011 and continues through September 30, 2012. The President's FY 2012 Budget Request for the Department of Transportation (DOT), including MARAD, was submitted to the Congress on February 14, 2011. No funds were specifically requested for either SAFSTOR Preparations or DECON. The DOT appropriation was passed on November 18, 2011, and provided $3.0 million for all NSS activities.

1.3.3 Fiscal Year 2013 Requested The President's FY 2013 Budget Request for the Maritime Administration was submitted to the Congress on February 13, 2012. The request for NSS activities is $3.000 million. No specific dollar amount is Revision 0 6

SAVANNAH Technical Staff STS - 147, Decommissioning Funds Status Report For CY 2011, Revision 0 requested for either SAFSTOR Preparations or DECON; however, the request notes that these funding requirements exist (DECON is noted as requiring $98.6M in current year dollars) and MARAD is prepared to execute them when resources become available. Based on the revised decommissioning schedule submitted in Reference (e), the projected funding for FY 2013 will not result in a change to the content of the PSDAR, and consequently no 10 CFR 50.82(a)(7) notification is required.

2.0 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1) STATUS OF DECOMMISSIONING FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT This section provides a discussion of the seven items required by 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1), and incorporates the guidance contained in Reference (a). The reporting requirements and corresponding MARAD information are provided below.

2.1 The amount of decommissioningfunds estimatedto be required.

a) Currentlicensedactivities requireapproximately$3 million annually. The NSS is scheduled to be drydockedfor regularmaintenance once (2018) during the protective storageperiod,at an estimated cost of $6.8 million.2 b) The October2011 revisedSAFSTOR projectcost estimate is $10.98 million.

c) The October2011 revisedsite-specific DECON-License Terminationcost estimate is

$98.6 million.

2.2 The amount accumulatedto the end of the calendaryear precedingthe date of the report-Accumulation offunds is not applicable to the NSS. As a federal licensee, 10 CFR 50. 75(e)(1)(iv) allowsfundingfor decommissioningactivities to be obtained by appropriationswhen necessary.

2.3 A schedule of the annualamounts remainingto be collected.

Annual collection offunds is not applicableto the NSS. As afederal licensee, 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(iv) allowsfundingfor decommissioningactivities to be obtained by appropriationswhen necessary.

2.4 The assumptions used regardingrates of escalationin decommissioningcosts, rates of earnings on decommissioningfunds, andrates of otherfactors used in funding projections.

The 2011 revised site-specific DECON-License Termination cost estimate used 3.9% escalation for disposalof low level radioactivewaste (LLRW). Transportationcosts were escalatedat 28.6%. Electric costs were escalatedat 4%. All other industrialtask costs were escalatedat 1.6%. Escalationfactors were taken from the latest version of NUREG 1307 availableat the time of the calculation.

There are no rates of earnings on decommissioningfunds.

2.5 Any contractsupon which the licensee is relyingpursuantto paragraph(e)(1)(v) of this section.

Not applicablebecause MARAD, as afederal licensee, is fundedper the 10 CFR 50. 75(e)(1)(iv) method.

2 The drydocking cost estimate is escalated to a 2018 basis from the $4.1 million contract cost for drydocking the NSS in CY 2008.

Revision 0 7

SAVANNAH Technical Staff STS - 147, Decommissioning Funds Status Report For CY 2011, Revision 0 2.6 Any modifications occurringto a licensee's currentmethod ofprovidingfinancial assurancesince the last submitted report.

There have been no modifications to MARAD'sfinancial assurancemethodology, which is limited to the use offederal appropriations.Pleaserefer, however, to the response in section 4.1 below for more information.

2. 7 Any materialchanges to trust agreements.

Not applicablebecause MARAD, as a federal licensee, is fundedper the 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(iv) method. Consequently, no trust agreements exist.

3.0 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(v)-(vii) FINANCIAL ASSURANCE STATUS ANNUAL REPORT This section provides a discussion of the ten items required by 10 CFR 50.82(aX8)(v)-(vii). This is a new reporting requirement in CY 2011, and MARAD is reporting on the basis that it has already submitted its site-specific DCE. The reporting requirements and corresponding MARAD information are provided below.

3.1 Report requiredby 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(v)

(A)

I The amount spent on decommissioning, both cumulative and over the previous calendar year, Within the context ofprotective storage as a phase of decommissioningactivities,all of the funds spent by MARAD in CY 2011 andprecedingyears (FY 2005 -present) have been spent for decommissioningpurposes. As a practicalmatter, no funds have been spent on discreteactions describedin either the SAFSTOR Implementation Plan or the DECONCost Estimate, other than moderate amountsfor preliminaryplanning.

2 The remaining balance of any decommissioning funds, and Not applicablebecause MARAD, as afederal licensee, is fundedper the 10 CFR 50. 75(e)(1)(iv) method. Although fimds appropriatedto MARAD's Ship Disposalaccountare "availableuntil expended, " any year-to-year carryover is applied to immediate requirements. No balance is maintained.

3. The amount provided by other financial assurance methods being relied upon; None. MARAD, as afederallicensee, relies solely on the 10 CFR 50. 75(e)(1)(iv) method.

(B) An estimate of the costs to complete decommissioning, reflecting any difference between actual and estimated costs for work performed during the year, and the decommissioning criteria upon which the estimate is based; MARAD 's CY 2011 estimate to complete decommissioningis $98.6 million basedon escalationfrom the 2010 base estimate (see 2.4 abovefor the escalationbasis). This estimate is effective as of October 1, 2011. This estimate does not creditany work performed duringthe reportingperiod. There have been no changes to the decommissioningcriteriaon which the 2011 estimate was based.

(C) Any modifications occurring to a licensee's current method of providing financial assurance since the last submitted report; and Revision 0 8

SA VANNAH Technical Staff STS - 147, Decommissioning Funds Status Report For CY 2011, Revision 0 There have been no modificationsto MARAD'sfinancial assurancemethodology, which is limited to the use offederal appropriations.Pleaserefer, however, to the response in section 4.1 below for more information.

(D) Any material changes to trust agreements or financial assurance contracts.

Not applicablebecause MARAD, as afederal licensee, relies solely on the 10 CFR 50. 75(e)(1)(iv) method.

3.2 Report requiredby 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(vi)

If the sum of the balance of any remaining decommissioning funds, plus earnings on such funds calculated at not greater than a 2 percent real rate of return, together with the amount provided by other financial assurance methods being relied upon, does not cover the estimated cost to complete the decommissioning, the financial assurance status report must include additional financial assurance to cover the estimated cost of completion.

Not applicableto MARAD.

3.3 Report requiredby 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(vii)

After submitting its site-specific DCE required by paragraph (a)(4)(i) of this section, the licensee must annually submit to the NRC, by March 31, a report on the status of its funding for managing irradiated fuel.

Thefinal disposition and status of the Atomic Energy Commission's nuclearfuel utilized by the NSS is describedin the September 21, 1973, OperationsReport andalso in Section 1.3.1 of the FinalSafety Analysis Report asfollows:

Thirty six spentfuel elements (CoreI and Ia) were shippedfrom Galveston, TX to the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) - Savannah River Plant,Aiken, SC in nine shipments from October 4 through December 21, 1972 via a lowboy trailerusing the PiqualElk River Shipping cask The 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(vii) report must include the following information, current through the end of the previous calendar year:

(A) The amount of funds accumulated to cover the cost of managing the irradiated fuel; MARA4D is storingno irradiatednuclearfuel and,therefore, has no accumulatedfunds to cover the costs associatedwith managingirradiatedfuel.

(B) The projected cost of managing irradiated fuel until title to the fuel and possession of the fuel is transferred to the Secretary of Energy; and MARAD is storingno irradiatednuclearfuel and, therefore, has no need to project the costs associatedwith managingirradiatedfuel.

(C) If the funds accumulated do not cover the projected cost, a plan to obtain additional funds to cover the cost.

MARAD is storingno irradiatednuclearfuel and,therefore, has no need to obtainadditional funds to cover the costs associatedwith managingirradiatedfuel.

Revision 0 9

SAVANNAH Technical Staff STS - 147, Decommissioning Funds Status Report For CY 2011, Revision 0 4.0 REGULATORY COMMITMENTS REGARDING DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING 4.1 Annual Requestfor Funds In Reference (e), MARAD made the following regulatory commitment:

Annually, MARAD will requestfunds specificallyfor decommissioning. The NRC will be informed of these decommissioningfunding requests annually by March 31. [Continuingaction]

Beginning in reference (b), and in periodic correspondence thereafter, MARAD has reiterated its understanding of its responsibility to request and obtain decommissioning funds in sufficient quantity and time to meet the NS-1 license termination deadline of December 3, 2031. Given the inherent nature of the budget process, MARAD defines its commitment to be satisfied annually when it makes a request for decommissioning funds to the Office of the Secretary of Transportation. MARAD has no independent authority to seek decommissioning funds if the request is not made part of the President's Budget Request for the Department of Transportation. Documentation regarding the annual request is maintained by the licensee, and is available for inspection.

Beginning with this CY 2011 Decommissioning Funds Status Report, MARAD will include a statement regarding the annual request for funds. In CY 2011, MARAD did not formally request consideration for decommissioning funds in FY 2013 because there was no room within the Agency's fiscal budget guidance for this and other requests due to the balancing of priorities and funding levels. However, MARAD remains cognizant of the responsibilities and funding commitment requirements for SAFSTOR and eventual DECON, as included in the budget summaries. Internal budget deliberations within MARAD and OST have recognized that these obligations remain to be funded and will continue to be examined and balanced during the annual budget development processes.

4.2 Annual Submittal of New Estimate In Reference (f), MARAD made the following regulatory commitment:

Submit a new estimate annually by using either the 10 CFR 50. 75(c)(2)formula escalationor by revising the site specific estimate basedon circumstances that affect its underlying assumptions.

[Continuingaction]

MARAD's CY 2011 estimate is $98.6 million based on escalation from the 2010 basis estimate. This estimate is effective as of October 1, 2011.

Because the commitment is not clear about the use of the formula, MARAD has determined that a clarification is required. Consequently, a revision to this commitment is found in Enclosure 2, Submittal of Decommissioning Funds Status Update for CY 2011, LIST OF REGULATORY COMMITMENTS. The revised (clarified) commitment text is as follows:

Submit a new estimate annually by either revisingthe site specific estimate based on circumstances that affect its underlying assumptions, or by using cost escalationfactors no smaller than those in the most recent revision to NUREG 1307.

The basis for this commitment change is the wording of the original commitment can be misread that MARAD may use the 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2) formula to determine decommissioning costs for the NSS.

This formula exaggerates the decommissioning costs for small power reactors and, therefore, will not be used by MARAD. The revised commitment more clearly states the intent of the original commitment.

4.3 Revised Decommissioning Cost Estimate In Reference (f), MARAD made the following regulatory commitment:

Revision 0 10

SAVANNAH Technical Staff STS - 147, Decommissioning Funds Status Report For CY 2011, Revision 0 The site specific DecommissioningCost Estimate will be revised at least everyfive (5) years.

The site specific Decommissioning Cost Estimate is scheduled for full revision in CY 2015.

4.4 Content of MARAD Budget Requests In Reference (c), MARAD made the following regulatory commitment:

Because the privity of the federal budgetingprocessprecludespublic notification of the content of agency budget requests priorto their submittal to the Congress, MARAD has determined thatfuture 10 CFR 50.82(a)(7) notificationswill be submitted under a 10 CFR 2.390 requestfor withholding.

Based on the revised Decommissioning Activities Schedule submitted to the NRC in reference (f),

MARAD determined that no 10 CFR 50.82(a)(7) notification was required during CY 2011.

5.0 TIME REMAINING TO COMPLETE DECOMMISSIONING As of December 3, 2011, twenty years remain to complete decommissioning (i.e. two thirds of the sixty years allowed by 10 CFR 50.82 have passed).
