SUBJECT:
REVIEW OF THE DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR THE DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING PLAN
Dear Mr. Yale:
By letters dated December 17, 2012, and December 14, 2015, Indian Michigan Power (IMP) submitted decommissioning funding plans (DFP) for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI), located in Michigan, for U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff review and approval.
The NRC regulations at Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 72, Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste, and Reactor-Related Greater than Class C Waste, govern the storage of spent nuclear fuel (spent fuel) generated at commercial nuclear power reactors licensed by the NRC. Spent fuel that has been removed from the reactors spent fuel pool is typically stored at a nuclear power plants ISFSI.
The NRC requires its licensees to plan for the eventual decommissioning of their licensed facilities prior to license termination. On June 17, 2011, the NRC published a final rule amending its decommissioning planning regulations (76 Federal Register (FR) 35512). The final rule amended the NRC regulation, 10 CFR 72.30, which concerns financial assurance and decommissioning for ISFSIs. This regulation now requires each holder of, or applicant for, a license under 10 CFR Part 72 to submit, for NRC review and approval, a DFP. The purpose of the DFP is to demonstrate the licensees financial assurance, i.e., that funds will be available to decommission the ISFSI. The NRC staff is reviewing the information submitted by IMP.
Specifically, the NRC must determine whether IMP DFP contains the information required by 10 CFR 72.30(b) and 10 CFR 72.30(c) Tri-Annual Update and whether IMP has provided reasonable assurance that funds will be available to decommission the ISFSI.
The IMP ISFSI DFP is publicly available in the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) accessible at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html.
