Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2, Docket Nos. 50-261 Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2, Docket Nos. 50-325, 50-324 Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1, Docket Nos. 50-400 Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant, Docket Nos. 50-302 Biennial Decommissioning Financial Assurance Reports

Reference:

Letter from Jon A. Franke (VP, Crystal River Nuclear Plant) to USNRC, 3F0213-07, dated February 20, 2013, Subject Crystal River Unit 3 -Certification of Permanent Cessation of Power Operations and that Fuel Has Been Permanently Removed from the Reactor Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1), Carolina Power & Light Company, now doing business as Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc. and Florida Power Corporation, now doing business as Progress Energy Florida, Inc. submit the required Decommissioning Financial Assurance reports for Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2; Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1; H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2; and Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant. The report for each nuclear plant contains the following information:

(1) Amount of decommissioning funds estimated to be required pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(b) and (c).(2) Amount accumulated to the end of the calendar year preceding the date of the report.(3) Schedule of annual amounts remaining to be collected.

(4) Assumptions used regarding rates of escalation in decommissioning costs, rates of earnings on decommissioning funds, and rates of other factors used in funding projections.

(5) Contracts upon which the licensee is relying pursuant to paragraph 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(v).

(6) Modifications occurring to a licensee's current method of providing financial assurance since the last submitted report.(7) Material changes to trust agreements.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission March 28, 2013 Page 2 The adjustment factors used in Item 1 for the calculation in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2) is determined using the December 2012 indices from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for labor, energy, and fuel and NUREG-1 307, Revision 15, for burial.Pursuant to the letter referenced above, Progress Energy Florida, Inc. certified that Crystal River Unit 3 has permanently terminated power operation and that all fuel assemblies have been permanently removed from the reactor vessel, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) and 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(ii).

Accordingly, the Decommissioning Financial Assurance reports for Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant must be submitted annually in accordance with 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1).

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(ii), Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc. has authorization from the rate-setting authority of South Carolina to use a real rate of return greater than 2% for the South Carolina portion of the qualified decommissioning trust fund. In particular, the Public Service Commission of South Carolina (PSCSC) issued an accounting order on September 23, 2011, which, based on figures included in Carolina Power & Light Company's 2009 Decommissioning Cost Updates, approved a 6.0% projected return on the external qualified fund and a 3% cost escalation rate (resulting in a real rate of return of 3%).As reported in the Biennial Decommissioning Funding Status Report dated March 31, 2011 (ML1 10950366), Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc. has authorization from the rate-setting authority of North Carolina to use a real rate of return greater than 2% for the North Carolina portion of the qualified decommissioning trust fund.Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(ii), Progress Energy Florida, Inc. has authorization from the rate-setting authority of Florida to use a real rate of return greater than 2% for the qualified decommissioning trust fund. In particular, the Florida Public Service Commission issued an order on April 30, 2012, which, based on figures included in Progress Energy Florida, Inc.'s 2010 Nuclear Decommissioning Study, approved an assumed fund earning rate of 5.47% and an escalation rate of 2.8% (resulting in a real rate of return of 2.67%).The North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) issued an order on February 5, 2004, directing Carolina Power & Light Company to transition funds held in its internal reserve to the external nuclear decommissioning trust. This transition began in 2008, and as directed, the minimum annual transfer is 10% of the internal fund balance as of December 31, 2007. These transfers are shown on Attachments 1 -4.As a convenience to the NRC, the Decommissioning Financial Assurance reports from each co-owner for funding the decommissioning of Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Units 1 and 2;Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1; and Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant are identified within each unit's report. However, none of the co-owners assumes any responsibility for the information contained in any other co-owner's report.

U.S..Nuclear Regulatory Commission March 28, 2013 Page 3 There are no regulatory commitments associated with this letter.Please address any comments or questions regarding this matter to Paul Guill at (704) 382-4753 (paul.guill@duke-energy.corn).
