I A. The annual financial statement of The Dow Chemical Company published in 1986 is attached as appendix I. Funds to cover the cost of operation of the reactor come from the operating budget of the Analytical Laboratories of the Michigan Division of The Dow Chemical Company.

B. The estimated annual cost for operating the reactor is $50,000 in 1986 dollars. This estimate is based on experience to date with the costs I of manpower, maintenance, modifications, licenses, fees, requalification programs, and utilities. In addition, the utilization of the reactor for neutron activation analysis at the pesent manpower level is approximately $300,000.

Persons involved in operation of the reactor:

Radiation Safety Officer Reactor Supervisor Licensed Operators Supervision Maintenance Security All of these persons spend minor fractions of their time in activities associated with ope:.ation of the reactor. The total cost of this effort is less than one full-time equivalent person.

Programs involved with the operation of the reactor:

Biennial license renewal for operators Annual requalification program TRIGA licensing program Training of medical and security people Emergency plan exercises Radiation surveillance program Reactor surveillance programs All of these costs are counted as part of the personnel costs.

Incidental costs of operating the reactor - physical plant:

Building maintenance Equipment maintenance - reactor console and associated equipment I Equipment update Utilities The cost of these items is highly variable from year to year; the estimate is based on a multi-year average, using the experience of the past 20 years of operation.

e I

Licenses and fees:

Inspection fees License fees Insurance Film badge program These items represent direct payments outside The Dow Chemical Company.

The TRICA license fees are spread over the period of the license.

These costs for operating the reactor will be borne by The Dow Chemical Company until the reactor is decommissioned.

C. It is expected that the Dow Research Reactor will be decommissioned I immediately upon cessation of research activities. Actual demolition will take place following the disposal of the fuel and the area will be returned to general use. There are no plana to maintain the facility in a shutdown status any longer than is necessary to prepare the plans for demolition and to obtain the appropriate regulatory reviews, e The eventual shutdown and disposal of the reactor and the associated facilities is expected to cost approximately $1,000,000 (1986 dollars),

based roughly on a Battelle report estimating a cost of about $800,000 (1981 dollars) for decommissioning a small non-power research reactor, the 1985 Northrup decommissioning of a larger reactor which was budgeted at $1.25 million and is not complete at this time, and the decommissioning of the University of Texas reactor, scheduled for 1986-iwst, wnica is expected to provide somewnat better guidelines for the cost of decommissioning.

The costs will cover the disposal of the fuel, removal and disposal of radioactive construction materials, and the demolition and removal of

all other materials using the methods and services normally used by The

! Dow Chemical Company for demolition of plants. Internal costs for I planning, radiation monitoring and protection, and security will be allocated from the appropriate operating funds. Disposal of radioactive materials, disposal of the fuel, and some aspects of heavy demolition will most likely be performed through external contractors.
