Column 1: Column 2: Column 3: Column 4: Column 5: Column 6: Column 7: Beginning o.f Year Balance: Reflects the beginning-of-year Trust Fund balance at a 0.0% cost escalation rate and a 2.0% Real Rate of Return (RRoR) on fund growth. Earnings on Trust Funds: Reflects earnings on funds remaining in the Trust. A 2.0% RRoR Fund growth rate is used for 2018 through 2073 which reflects the allowed 2.0% RRoR over a 0.0% cost escalation rate. The annual 2.0% RRoR earnings are calculated on the beginning balance less 50% of the projected annual expenditure for each year. Remaining License Termination Expenditures:

Reflects the. annual License Termination Plan cost portion at a 0.0% escalation rate from the Site Specific Estimate.

Remaining Spent Fuel Management Expenditures:

Reflects the annual Irradiated Fuel Management Plan cost portion at a 0.0% escalation rate from the Site Specific Estimate.

This column provides information related to funding for managing irradiated fuel as required by 10 CFR 50.82(a){8)(vii).

Remaining Site Restoration Expenditures:

Reflects the annual Site Restoration Plan cost portion at a 0.0% escalation rate from the Site Specific Estimate.

Remaining SAFSTOR Expenditures:

Reflects the annual SAFSTOR Decommissioning Plan cost at a 0.0% escalation rate from the Site Specific Estimate.

End of Year Balance: Reflects the end of year Trust Fund balance after all projected earnings are added and all projected expenditures are deducted for the year specified at a 0.0% escalation rate and a 2.0% RRoR on fund growth. Tables I and II General Notes: (Any minor differences in totals are due to rounding.)

1) The cost estimates contained in Tables I and II are obtained from revised site-specific cost and schedule tables that were provided in an update to the KPS Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (Serial No.14-116, ADAMS Accession No. ML14118A382) dated April 25, 2014. Further revisions are made with this filing to reflect timing differences and higher costs during plant dormancy.
2) The Trust Fund Balance reflects market value on December 31, 2017, net of taxes on realized gains and losses. 3) The 2.0% RRoR is based on the rate allowed by 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1){i) and 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(vi) and not on any order by a rate setting authority.
4) The funding method for providing financial assurance for decommissioning KPS remains prepayment.

This cash flow analysis demonstrates that the amounts accumulated in the Trust are sufficient, with credited earnings at a 2.0% RRoR, to cover the estimated cost of radiological decommissioning, spent fuel management and site restoration.

5) By letter dated January 28, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15034A312)

DEK submitted a Commitment to establish a Parent Company Guarantee (PCG) and a Notice of Request to Discontinue an Existing Parent Support Agreement (PSA) from Dominion Resources, Inc. (DRI). The PCG provides additional financial assurance to address any potential shortfalls in decommissioning funding assurance for KPS, up to $60 million. By letter dated December 14, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15344A503), the NRC notified DEK that it had no objection to the cancellation of the $60 million PSA, issued by DRI, for KPS. 6) The cash flow analysis in Table II shows that the funds accumulated in the Trust are sufficient, with credited earnings at a 2.0% real rate of return, to cover the estimated cost of radiological decommissioning, spent fuel management and site restoration.

7) On May 21, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13337A287), the NRC granted DEK an exemption allowing the Trust to be used for spent fuel management costs.
