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.
--Peter

Supplemental information for RAIs regarding RCF license renewal Mr. Stewart, We have finished reviewing your response to the RAIs regarding financial qualifications
and decommissioning. Your response to RAI
4.(c) did not include an example of how the decommissioning cost estimate will
be updated
periodically. Please supplement your response dated July 21, 2008, with
an example of how the
decommissioning cost estimate will be updated periodically. Pages 1 and 2 of the enclosure to Ohio State University's
response to RAIs provide an example (ADAMS Accession No. ML080650352).
Your response to RAI 5 also requires supplementation. The
response mentioned self-
liquidity, which is not a means for assuring decommissioning funding.
The financial reviewer
suggested that you read 10 CFR Part 30, Appendix E for information about
the self-guarantee
test, and NUREG-1757, Appendix A.14 for information regarding self-
guarantees and the
documentation that needs to be provided.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any
questions regarding this matter.
Additionally, Mr. Ronald Uleck (Ronald.Uleck@nrc.gov
<mailto:Ronald.Uleck@nrc.gov> or
(301) 415-3741) may be able to better answer questions regarding the
specifics of your response.Thank you.
