On March 22, 2011, Energy Northwest submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) the 2011 DFS report for Columbia Generating Station (Columbia), as required under Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50.75(f)(1) [ML110880356] Energy Northwest should provide a response within 30 days from the date of this letter.
RAI #1: Minimum DFA calculation:
Provide the labor, energy, and burial factors used in your calculation of the minimum requirement for decommissioning financial assurance and, if necessary, a corrected submittal for that part of the DFS report.

According to 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1), the amount provided in the DFS report should be the amount of decommissioning funds estimated to be required under 10 CFR 50.75(b) and (c). The escalation factors should be the most recent available regional data from the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, as stated in NUREG-1307, Rev.
14, Report on Waste Burial Charges.
The formulas for the factors used by the staff can be found using NUREG-1307, Rev.
