Characterization and decommissioning times are included in this estimate.
Disposal costs are determined by estimating total disposal volume multiplied by the volumetric cost.
Equipment and supplies costs are determined from current retail prices.

RE: Supplemental information for RAIs regarding RCF license renewal I looked at our response and we did say that we would update the values annually based upon current rates. Looking at the OSU response, I am guessing that they want just a little more detail. I suggest the following by way of response.

Our decommissioning cost estimate consists of four elements:

(1) Labor costs (2) Disposal costs (3) Equipment and supplies (4) Contingency Labor costs are determined by estimating hours required of each category of worker (supervisor, technician, etc) and the prevailing labor rate for that category of worker. Characterization and decommissioning times are included in this estimate.

Disposal costs are determined by estimating total disposal volume multiplied by the volumetric cost.

Equipment and supplies costs are determined from current retail prices.

A 25% contingency is added to the sum of the first three cost estimates to account for uncertainties in cost estimates and other miscellaneous costs.

The decommissioning cost estimate will be reviewed annually. The labor costs will be adjusted by inflating the labor rate for each category of worker based upon changes in the local prevailing wages. Disposal costs will be adjusted based upon current volumetric cost rates. Costs for equipment and supplies will be inflated by changes in the consumer price

index.

Hope that will take care of it.
