iii ABSTRACT Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.75 , "Reporting and Recordkeeping for Decommissioning Planning ," t he U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires nuclear power reactor licensees to adjust annually, in current year dollars, their estimate of the cost to decommission their plants. The annual updates are part of the process for providing reasonable assurance that adequate funds for decommissioning will be available when needed. This NUREG , which is periodically revised , describes the formula in 10 CFR 50.75(c) that is acceptable to the NRC for determining the minimum decommissioning fund requirements for nuclear power reactor licensees
. This formula is based on the estimated cost of decommissioning a reference pressurized
-water reactor (PWR) and a reference boiling
-water reactor (BWR) in 1986, and is escalated to current year dollars using an adjustment factor provided in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2). The primary purpose of this report is to provide the technical basis, including references, for the estimated cost of decommissioning the reference PWR and reference BWR
, and to develop the escalation factor for the low-level radioactive waste (LLW) burial cost portion of the adjustment factor. Escalation factors for the other portions of the adjustment factor (i.e., labor and energy costs), are also provided in this report
. This 17 th revision of NUREG-1307 , "Changes in Decommissioning Waste Disposal Costs at Low-Level Waste Burial Facilities," contains burial cost escalation factors updated to the year 2018 for the reference PWR and for the reference BWR. As presented in Table 2
-1, "Values of B x as a Function of LLW Burial Site and Year
," multiple burial cost escalation factors are provided that reflect various LLW burial scenarios for each reactor type. These were developed because licensees may have the option to ship waste to one or more of the four currently operating LLW disposal facilities in the United States, and the cost of disposal varies among each of the four facilities. In addition, there are various limitations on LLW disposal facility access by reactors, based upon the state in which the reactor is located.
The different LLW burial scenarios are described in detail in Section 1.2, "LLW Disposal Cost Scenarios." The currently operating LLW disposal facilities are located in
- 1) Texas, 2) South Carolina , 3) Washington, and 4) Utah. The Texas, South Carolina, and Washington facilities are the host disposal sites for the Texas LLW Disposal Compact (Texas Compact), the Atlantic Interstate LLW Management Compact (Atlantic Compact), and the Northwest Compact on LLW Management (Northwest Compact), respectively (Appendix E provides additional information about LLW compacts), and are referred to in this report as compact-affiliated disposal facilities. The Washington LLW disposal facility also accepts LLW generated in the three member
-states of the Rocky Mountain LLW Compact (Rocky Mountain Compact). The fourth site (Utah) is not associated with a specific LLW compact, and so is referred to in this report as a non
-compact disposal facility. Nuclear power plant facilities located within the LLW compact s for the compact
-affiliated disposal facilities can dispose of their LLW at the affiliated disposal facility or, in some cases, can dispose of a portion of their LLW at the non
-compact disposal facility. Nuclear power plants not located within a LLW compact having a compact-affiliated disposal facility can dispose of their LLW at either the Texas or Utah disposal facilities. The Utah site accept s only Class A LLW while the Texas site will accept Class A, B, and C LLW (see Section 1.1 for definitions of these LLW classes). For plants that have no disposal site available within their designated LLW compact , this report assumes that the cost for disposal of Class A LLW is the same as that for the Utah disposal facility
, and the cost for disposal of Class B and C LLW is the same as that for the Texas disposal facility
, and includes accounting for out
-of-compact fees.
iv In the 2017 decommissioning fund status reporting cycle , in which licensees provided decommissioning trust fund data to the NRC by March 31, 2017, as required by 10 CFR 50.75(f), 79 of the 100 operating reactors in the U.S. applied LLW burial cost escalation factor s based on the Table 2-1 scenario in which non-compact affiliated generators us ed the Utah and Texas disposal sites. In this current revision to NUREG
-1307, estimated 2018 disposal cost s for this scenario are approximately 3.1 percent higher for the reference PWR and 2.2 percent higher for the reference BWR
, compared to 2016 disposal costs. Increases in disposal costs were derived mostly from increases in disposal fees for the Utah disposal facility.
In the same 2017 NRC reporting cycle, four of the 100 operating plants in the U.S. applied LLW burial cost escalation factors based on the Table 2-1 scenario in which compact affiliated generators us ed only the Texas disposal site. In this current revision to NUREG
-1307, estimated 2018 disposal cost s for Texas LLW compact affiliated generators did not change, as the state-approved rate schedule for disposal of LLW at the Texas disposal facility remained unchanged from the 2016 state-approved rate schedul e used in Revision 16 of NUREG
-1307. Also in the 2017 NRC reporting cycle, 12 of the 100 operating plants in the U.S. applied LLW burial cost escalation factors based on the Table 2-1 scenario in which compact affiliated generators used only the South Carolina disposal site, or used a combination of both the South Carolina disposal site and the non
-compact disposal facility. (The South Carolina disposal site accepts LLW from facilities located in South Carolina, New Jersey, and Connecticut, all members of t he Atlantic Compact.) In this current revision to NUREG
-1307, estimated 2018 disposal cost s using only the South Carolina disposal site, are approximately 7.5 percent higher for both the reference PWR and BWR , compared to 201 6 disposal costs. Increase s in disposal costs were derived mostly from increases in disposal costs associated with the weight and activity (or curie) content of LLW, and charges for irradiated hardware.
The estimated disposal cost s using the combination of both the South Carolina disposal site and the non-compact disposal facility are approximately 6 percent higher for both the PWR and BWR , compared to 20 16 disposal costs. Increases in disposal costs were derived mostly from increases in disposal costs associated with the weight and activity (or curie) content of LLW, and charges for irradiated hardware, for the South Carolina site
, and increases in disposal rates for the non
-compact disposal facility
. Lastly, in the 2017 NRC reporting cycle, one of the 100 operating plants in the U.S. applied a LLW burial cost escalation factor based on the Table 2
-1 scenario in which a compact affiliated generator used only the Washington disposal site. The estimated 2018 disposal cost using onl y the Washington disposal site, which accepts LLW from the 11 member-states of the Northwest and Rocky Mountain Compacts, are approximately 25 percent higher for both the reference PWR and BWR , compared to 201 6 disposal costs. Increases in disposal costs were derived mostly from increases in LLW volume and container charge s. Licensees may use the escalation factors from this NUREG in their cost analyses, or they may generate and report site-specific cost estimates that resul t in a total cost estimate of no less than the amount estimated by using the 10 CFR 50.75(c) formula and cost escalation factors presented in this NUREG. In the 2017 NRC reporting cycle, four of the 100 operating plants in the U.S. reported cost data using site-specific cost estimates.
Revision 17 to NUREG-1307 assumes that LLW generated from day-to-day plant operations would be disposed of using the licensee's operating funds
, and thus would not rely on decommissioning funds identified in the formula calculation. However, facilities located in states that are members of a LLW compact with no available LLW disposal site may be forced to v provide interim storage for this waste (although most LLW could potentially be disposed of at the non-compact disposal facility located in Utah
, or at the compact-affiliated disposal facility located in Texas
). Accordingly, some of the LLW may ultimately need to be disposed of during decommissioning following interim storage. For those plants operating through extended license terms , this volume can become significant and the disposal cost would not be accounted for in a decommissioning trust fund based on the formula calculation.
The views expressed in this report are not necessarily those of the NRC. NUREG-1307, Revision 17, is not a substitute for NRC regulations. The approaches and methods described in this NUREG are provided for information only. Publication of this report does not necessarily constitute NRC approval or agreement with the information contained herein.
vi i FOREWORD Nuclear power reactor licensees are required by 10 CFR 50.75 , "Reporting and Recordkeeping for Decommissioning Planning," to annually adjust the estimated decommissioning costs of their nuclear facilities to ensure adequate funds are available for decommissioning. The regulation (10 CFR 50.75(c)(2)) references NUREG-1307 as the appropriate source for obtaining the escalation factor for waste burial/disposition costs. This 17 th revision of NUREG-1307 provides current, as of July 2018 , waste burial/disposition costs using the compact-affiliated disposal facilities located in Andrews County, Texas
- Barnwell, South Carolina; and Richland, Washington, and the non
-compact disposal facility in Clive, Utah. In addition, this revision includes a disposal cost scenario that provides for dispos a l of low-level waste (LLW) using a combination of non-compact and compact-affiliated disposal facilities. Licensees can factor these numbers into the adjustment formula, as specified in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2), to determine the minimum decommissioning fund requirement for their nuclear facilities. Although this NUREG is specifically prepared for the use of power reactor licensees, it also can be a valuable source of information for material licensees on current waste burial/disposition costs. On July 1, 2000, th e South Carolina disposal facility became the host disposal facility for the newly formed Atlantic Compact, comprised of the States of Connecticut, New Jersey, and South Carolina. Effective July 1, 2008, LLW from States that are not members of the Atlantic Compact was no longer accepted at the South Carolina disposal facility. The South Carolina Public Service Commission annually determines the costs of waste disposal at the South Carolina disposal facility and provides the site operator with an allowable operating margin. The Richland, Washington, facility only accepts LLW from the Northwest and Rocky Mountain Compacts. The Northwest Compact is comprised of the States of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, and Hawaii. The Rocky Mountain Compact is comprised of the States of Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico. The costs of disposal for this facility are determined annually based on waste generator volume projections and a maximum annual operator revenue set by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission. If the total operator revenue is exceeded in a given year, a rebate may be sent to the waste generator.
The Andrews County, Texas, facility or Texas Compact Waste Facility (CWF)
, accepts LLW from both the Texas Compact and out-o f-compact generators. The fees for LLW disposal are determined by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Out-of-compact generators, however, must submit an import petition to the Texas Compact Commission for approval prior to shipping. The State of Texas also limits total non
-compact waste disposed at the CWF to 30
-percent of licensed capacity.
Since the South Carolina and Washington LLW disposal facilities are available only to licensee s located within the ir respective compacts, an alternative available to licensees is to dispose of decommissioning Class A LLW at a non-compact disposal facility. Costs for this scenario are based on a price quote received from the operator of the non-compact disposal facility located in Utah. Revision 17 to NUREG-130 7 provides waste burial/disposition cost escalation factors for this scenario , in addition to the standard scenario of disposing of 100-percent of decommissioning LLW at a compact-affiliated disposal facility. Revision 17 to NUREG-1307 assumes that LLW generated during plant operations is disposed of using operating funds. Nuclear power plants that are members of a LLW Compact that ha s no disposal site available for LLW may be forced to provide interim storage for this waste , although viii most LLW may be able t o be disposed of at the non-compact disposal facility located in Utah or at the compact
-affiliated disposal facility located in Texas. The LLW volume could be significant for plants with extended operating periods (e.g., beyond 40
-years), and the disposal cost of this additional volume may not be accounted for in a decommissioning trust fund based on the formula calculation.
For licensees having no disposal site available within their designated LLW Compact, NUREG-1307, Revision 17, assumes that the cost for disposal of Class A LLW is the same as that for the Utah disposal facility , and the cost for disposal of Class B and C LLW is the same as that for the Texas disposal facility including accounting for out
-of-compact fees. Accordingly, given these considerations, licensees may want to set aside additional funds to avoid significant future shortfalls in funding

This is one step of a multi-step process for providing reasonable assurance to the NRC that adequate funds for decommissioning are planned for and accumulated beginning in licensing and through operations.
This NUREG provides escalation factors for the waste burial/disposition component of the decommissioning funding formul a , as required by 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2).
This NUREG also provides the regional escalation factors for the labor and energy components of the decommissioning fund requirement.
Together, these escalation factors are used to adjust the NRC minimum decommissioning fund requirement by means of an "adjustment factor." The term "adjustment factor," as used in this NUREG and in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2), refers to increases and decreases in estimated decommissioning costs subsequent to issuance of the 10 CFR 50.75 regulation
- s. The base decommissioning fund requirements in these regulations were established in 1986 dollars. The adjustment factor escalates the cost, in 1986 dollars, to costs in today's dollars
. This NUREG is updated periodically to reflect changes in waste buri al/disposition costs and account s for changes in the labor and energy values
. This NUREG provides t he development of a formula for estimating decommissioning cost s that are acceptable to the NRC. Sources of information used in the formula are identified. Values developed for the escalation of radioactive waste burial/disposition costs, by site and by year, are also provided. Licensees may use the formula, the coefficients, and the burial/disposition cost escalation factors from this NUREG in their analyses, or they may use an adjustment rate at least equal to the approach presented herein. The formula and its coefficients, together with guidance to other data sources needed to complete the formula calculation, (i.e., U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics), are summarized in Chapter 2. The development of the formula and its coefficients, with sample calculations, are presented in Chapter 3. Price schedules for LLW burial/disposition for the y ear 2018 are given in Appendix A f or compact-affiliated and non-compact disposal facilities. Calculations to determine the burial/disposition escalation factors, B x , for each site and year of evaluation are summarized in Appendix B. 1.1 Definitions This section provides the definition of key terms utilized throughout this NUREG.
Low-level radioactive waste (LLW). LLW is a general term for a wide range of items that have become contaminated with radioactive material or have become radioactive through exposure to neutron radiation. Radioactive materials are present at nuclear power plants undergoing decommissioning as the result of plant operations prior to permanent shutdown and as the result of decommissioning activities. Examples include radioactively contaminated equipment, piping, tanks, hardware, and tools; concrete debris and soil; liquid radioactive waste (radwaste) treatment residues; and radioactively contaminated protective shoe covers and clothing; cleaning rags, mops, and filters. The radioactivity in these wastes can range from just above natural background levels to much higher levels, such as seen in components from inside the reactor vessel of a nuclear power plant. LLW from decommissioning activities is typically shipped to a disposal site specifically licensed for disposal of LLW.
2 LLW Classification. 10 CFR 61.55(a)(2) defines three classes of LLW acceptable for routine near-surface disposal based on its radiological and physical characteristics:
(i) Class A waste is waste that is usually segregated from other waste classes at the disposal site. The physical form and characteristics of Class A waste must meet the minimum requirements set forth in § 61.56(a). If Class A waste also meets the stability requirements set forth in § 61.56(b), it is not necessary to segregate the waste for disposal.
(e.g., dry active waste, protective shoe covers and clothing
) (ii) Class B waste is waste that must meet more rigorous requirements on waste form to ensure stability after disposal. The physical form and characteristics of Class B waste must meet both the minimum and stability requirements set forth in § 61.56. (e.g., primary resin, primary filters)
(iii) Class C waste is waste that not only must meet more rigorous requirements on waste form to ensure stability but also requires additional measures at the disposal facility to protect against inadvertent intrusion. The physical form and characteristics of Class C waste must meet both the minimum and stability requirements set forth in § 61.56. (e.g., radioactive components)
LLW Compacts. The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985 (LL RWPAA) makes each state responsible for disposing of the LLW generated within its boundaries and establishes a mechanism for states to enter into compacts to establish regional LLW disposal facilities. Appendix E identifies the compacts that have been formed and the states affiliated with each. Appendix E also identifies the states that are not affiliated with any compact. Compact-affiliated Disposal Facility. A LLW disposal facility that has been established by a compact in accordance with the LL RWPAA. Four compacts, representing 16 states, have established three LLW disposal facilities: (1) Northwest Compact and Rocky Mountain Compac t - U.S. Ecology disposal facility located in Richland, Washington, (2) Atlantic Compact
- EnergySolutions disposal facility located in Barnwell, South Carolina, and (3) Texas Compact
- Waste Control Specialists disposal facility located in Andrews County, Texas. Non-compact Disposal Facility. A LLW disposal facility that was established outside of the framework of the LL RWPAA and is not affiliated with a compact. Only one LLW disposal facility meets this definition
- the EnergySolutions disposal facility located in Clive, Utah.
1.2 LLW Disposal Cost Scenario s NUREG-1307, Revision 1 7 , contains disposal costs updated to the year 2018 for the reference pressurize d-water reactor (PWR) and the reference boiling-water reactor (BWR). Three scenarios for estimating these costs are presented. The first scenario assume s that 100-percent of the low-level waste (LLW) generated during decommissioning is disposed of at one o f the three compact-affiliated disposal facilities located in Washington
, South Carolina, and Texas. This is the second revision of NUREG
-1307 to include costs for the Texas site, which became operational in 2012. Year 2018 B x escalation factors, expressed as a ratio of 2018 disposal costs to the original 1986 disposal costs , are also provided. For historical purposes, disposal costs for the reference reactors and B x escalation factors at the Washington and South Carolina 3 sites for the years 2006 , 2008 , 2010 , 2012 , and 2016 are also provided. See previous revisions of NUREG-1307 for disposal costs prior to 200
- 6. The second scenario provides for disposing of LLW using a combination of non-compact and compact-affiliated disposal facilities. For a PWR u nder this scenario , 9 3-percent of the LLW is assumed to be disposed of at a non-compact disposal facility (Utah) and the remaining 7-percent is assumed to be disposed of at a compact-affiliated disposal facility. For a BWR under this scenario , 95-percent of the LLW is assumed to be disposed of at a non-compact disposal facility (Utah) and the remaining 5-percent is assumed to be disposed of at a compact-affiliated disposal facility. This scenario , which is considered an acceptable alternative for licensees, allows NPP licensees to take advantage of potentially lower disposal costs for much of their LLW. B x escalation factors for these "alternative
" disposal costs are also provided. The third scenario provides for disposing of all LLW at non-compact disposal facilities or compact-affiliated disposal facilities that accept out
-of-compact waste
. NUREG-1307, Revision 1 7 , assumes that LLW generated during plant operations is dispos ed of using operating funds. Plants that are members of a LLW Compact that ha s no disposal site available for LLW may be forced to provide interim storage for this waste (although most LLW may be able to be disposed of at the non-compact disposal facility located in Utah or at the compact-affiliated disposal facility located in Texas
). Some of this waste may ultimately need to be disposed of during decommissioning. This LLW could be significant for plants with extended operating periods (e.g., beyond 40
-years), and the disposal cost of this additional volume may not be accounted for in a decommissioning trust fund based on the formula calculation.
For plants that have no disposal site available within their designated LLW Compact , NUREG-1307, Revision 17, assumes that the cost for disposal of Class A LLW is the same as that for the Utah disposal facility
, and that the cost for disposal of Class B and C LLW is the same as that for the Texas disposal facility
, including accounting for out
-of-compact fees. As new disposal scenarios become available, they will be incorporated into subsequent revisions of NUREG-1307.
5 2 DECOMMISSIONING COST ELEMENTS The elements of decommissioning cost s under 50.75(c)(2) are assigned to three categories:
(1) those that are proportiona l to labor costs, L x; (2) those that are proportional to energy costs, E x; and (3) those that are proportional to burial costs, B x. The adjustment of the total decommissioning cost estimate can be expressed by: Estimated cost (Year X) = [1986 $ cost] [A*L x + B*E x + C*B x] where A, B, and C are coefficients representing the percent or portion of the total 1986 dollar costs attributable to labor (0.65), energy (0.13), and burial (0.22), respectively, and sum to 1.0. The factors L x , E x , and B x are defined by: L x = labor cost escalation factor , January of 1986 to the latest month of Year X for which data are available, E x = energy cost escalation factor , January of 1986 to the latest month of Year X for which data are available, and, B x = LLW burial/disposition cost escalation factor , January of 1986 to the latest month of Year X for which data are available
. For labor and energy cost escalation factors used in calculating the total decommissioning cost estimate for years subsequent to 1986, L x and E x are based on the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) national producer price indexes, national consumer price indexes, and local conditions for a given site (see Chapter 3).
B x is evaluated by recalculating the costs of burial/disposition of the radioactive wastes from the reference PWR (Reference 1) and the reference BWR (Reference 2) based on the price schedules provided by the available disposal facilities for the year of interest. The results of these recalculations are presented in Table 2-1, by site and by year. These recalculations are performed by an NRC contractor.
Effective January 1, 1993, radioactive waste from states that are not members of the Northwest Compact (comprised of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, and Hawaii) or Rocky Mountain Compact (comprised of Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico) was no longer accepted at the Washington disposal site.
Effective July 1, 2000, the South Carolina LLW burial site applied different price schedules for waste from s tates within and outside the then newly created Atlantic Compact (comprised of South Carolina, Connecticut, and New Jersey
). Effective July 1, 2008, radioactive waste from States that are not members of the Atlantic Compact was no longer accepted at the Sout h Carolina disposal site.
Beginning in the Spring of 2012, a new LLW disposal facility became available for disposal of waste from States within the Texas Compact (comprised of Texas and Vermont). Disposal costs for this facility were included in NUREG-130 7 Revision 16 for the first time.
6 Licensees not located in the Northwest, Rocky Mountain, Atlantic, or Texas Compacts should use the B x values for "Generators Located in States Not Affiliated with a Compact having a Disposal Facility" (see footnote (c) in Table 2-1). Effective with Revision 8 of this NUREG (December 1998), the scenario to use a combination of waste vendors, or non-compact disposal facilities, and compact
-affiliated disposal facilities was mad e available, and was referred to as "Direct Disposal with Vendors
." Effective with Revision 1 5 of this NUREG (ML130223A030, January 2013)
, the nomenclature for the two disposal scenario s as used in the previous revisions of NUREG
-1307 , (referred to as "Direct Disposal" and "Direct Disposal with Vendors
,") was changed to "Compact
-Affiliated Disposal Facility Only" and "Combination of Compact
-Affiliated and Non
-Compact Disposal Facilities
," to better describe these scenario s. The B x values for this scenario are also provided in Table 2-1 (see footnote s (d) and (e) in Table 2-1). The decision rests with the licensees to determine the scenario that best represents their particular situation.

-1307 for development of values prior to 2018. (b) Effective with NUREG
-1307, Revision 16, the Compact Waste Facility (CWF) in Andrews County, Texas, is available as a full
-service (i.e., Class A, B, and C) LLW disposal facility for waste generators located in States affiliated with the Texas Compact. Hence, B x values are not available (NA) for earlier versions of NUREG
-1307. (c) Effective with NUREG
-1307, Revision 16, the CWF in Andrews County, Texas, is also available as a full
-service (i.e., Class A, B, and C) LLW disposal facility for waste generators located in States not affiliated with the Texas Compact. Out-of-compact generators, however, must submit an import petition to the Texas Compact Commission for approval prior to shipping. The State of Texas also limits total non
-compact waste disposed at the CWF to 30
-percent of licensed capacity and imposes additional fees on LLW disposed of from out
-of-compact generators. With the availability of this full
-service disposal facility to out-of-compact waste generators and the Clive, Utah disposal facility for any Class A LLW generated in the U.S., the Generic LLW Disposal Site scenario used in previous versions of NUREG
-1307 is replaced with this scenario, which provides B x values representing a composite of the disposal rates for these two disposal facilities. These B x factors are recommended for use for plants that currently have no disposal site available within their designated LLW Compact. Accordingly, given this consideration , licensees may want to set aside additional decommissioning trust funds to avoid significant future shortfalls in funding and potential enforcement actions.
(d) Effective with NUREG
-1307, Revision 8 (Reference 3), an alternative disposal scenario was introduced in which the bulk of the LLW is assumed to be dispositioned by waste vendor s. Effective with NUREG
-1307, Revision 14, the bulk of the LLW is assumed to be dispositioned at the Clive, Utah disposal facility
. (e) Effective with NUREG-1307, Revision 1 5 , the nomenclature for the two disposal scenarios, referred to as "Direct Disposal" and "Direct Disposal with Vendors" in previous revisions of NUREG
-1307, was changed to "Compact
-Affiliated Disposal Facility Only" and "Combination of Compact
-Affiliated and Non
-Compact Disposal Facilities" to better describe these scenarios. (f) For plants using the "Compact
-Affiliated Disposal Facility Only" for the Texas site, the base waste volume charges, base radiology charges, and surcharges remain unchanged from 2016 to 2018. For further explanation see Section 3.4.
(*) The six columns highlighted with an asterisk reflect B x LLW burial cost escalation factor data used by the 96 operating power reactor licensees that utilized the minimum decommissioning fund formula in decommissioning trust fund status reports submitt ed to the NRC in 2017.
9 3 DEVELOPMENT OF COST ESCALATION FACTORS AND COST ADJUSTMENT FACTOR The minimum decommissioning fund requirement, or minimum formula amount, for radiological decommissioning of a nuclear power plant, was established using January 1986 dollars, and is defined in 10 CFR 50.75(c) as follows (where P is power level of the nuclear power reactor in megawatt-thermal (MWt))
1: For a PWR (10 CFR 50.75(c)(1)(i))
- Greater than or equal to 3400 MWt-------------$105 million Between 1200 MWt and 3400 MWt-------------$(75 + 0.0088P) million (For a PWR of less than 1200 MWt, use P=1200 MWt)
For a BWR (10 CFR 50.75(c)(1)(ii))
- Greater than or equal to 3400 MWt-------------.$135 million Between 1200 MWt and 3400 MWt-------------.$(104 + 0.009P) million (For a BWR of less than 1200 MWt, use P=1200 MWt)
The minimum formula amount represents an actual base
-year (1986) cost estimate to decommission a nuclear power plant. These 1986 costs are derived from studies finalized in the late 1970s and early 1980s (References 6 and 7), and adjusted to 1986 dollars through addendums to these PWR and BWR documented studies (References 1 and 2).
Present day minimum formula amounts rely on an adjustment factor that is applied to the initial cost estimate. In this way, the adjustment factor accounts for, or escalates, the initial formula amount to a dollar figure that incorporates inflation and other cost escalation factors.
In 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2), the adjustment factor is defined to be at least equal to 0.65L + 0.13E + 0.22B, where L and E are cost escalation factors for labor and energy, respectively, and values are to be taken from regional data of U.S. Department of Labor
, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and B is a cost escalation factor for waste burial and is to be taken from this report.
In summary, the adjustment factor incorporated in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2) provides a mechanism for escalating the decommissioning fund requirement (minimum formula amount) to current year dollars to reflect inflation and other changes in economic conditions since January 1986. This section summarizes how the coefficients (i.e., 0.65, 0.13, and 0.22) in the adjustment factor were originally developed and provides updated L, E, and B cost escalation factors for use in calculating the minimum decommissioning fund requirement in current year (2018) dollars.
1 The energy input in a heat engine is measured as MWt.
10 3.1 Development of the Cost Adjustment Factor For the purpose of adjusting the 1986 minimum decommissioning formula cost estimate into today's dollars, the NRC, working with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, determined that the total decommissioning cost could be divided into three principal components (major cost drivers) for cost escalation purposes. These components are:
(1) labor, materials, and services, (2) electric power and diesel or other fuels for transportation, and (3) radioactive waste burial/disposition. The major elements contributing to each of the se three components are provided in Table 3-1. The percent, or portion, of the total decommissioning cost, in January 1986 dollars, categorized as labor, materials, and services, is defined by the coefficient A. The percent, or portion, of the total decommissioning cost, in January 1986 dollars, categorized as energy and radioactive waste transportation, is defined by the coefficient B. The percent, or portion, of the total decommissioning cost, in January 1986 dollars, categorized as radioactive waste burial/disposition, is defined by the coefficient C.

Per Table 3
-1, the C (LLW burial associated) coefficient, or that percentage representing the portion of decommissioning cost attributable to LLW burial charges, are the same (.22) for both PWR s and BWRs. The A (labor associated) and B (energy associated) coefficients differ only slightly between the two reactor types. Consequently, due to the close similarity in these coefficients, and uncertainty contained within the labor and energy assessments used in developing the minimum formula, the formula in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2) was simplified. The 11 simplified formula is a composite of the two reactor types by averaging the A and B coefficients derived from the separate PWR and BWR estimates. Hence, the 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2) formula for determining the decommissioning cost of both PWR and BWR reactor types assume the same coefficients, as follows:
A averag e = 0.65 B averag e = 0.13 C averag e = 0.22 All costs categorized as labor, materials, and services are escalated from 1986 dollars to current year dollars by multiplying coefficient A (0.65) by a labor cost escalation factor L
- x. All costs categorized as energy and radioactive waste transportation are escalated from 1986 dollars to current year dollars by multiplying coefficient B (0.13) by an energy cost escalation factor E x. Values for L x and E x for years subsequent to 1986 are based on the national producer price indexes, national consumer price indexes, and local conditions for a given site, as described below in Sections 3.2 and 3.3, respectively. All costs categorized as radioactive waste burial/disposition are escalated from 1986 dollars to current year dollars by multiplying coefficient C (0.22) by a burial cost escalation factor B
- x. The values to be used in determining B x are derived from published cost schedules at the three compact-affiliated disposal facilities and a price quote from the non-compact disposal facility located in Utah, as described in Section 3.4. Note that values for B x for year 2016 and earlier, are provided in Table 2
-1 for information purposes only
- licensees will need only the 2018 figures for the minimum formula calculation required by March 31, 2019.
In summary, a simple equation was developed and incorporated into 10 CFR 50.75(c) to determine the minimum decommissioning fund requirement, or minimum formula amount, escalated to current year dollars. This equation is as follows:
Estimated cost (Year X)
= [1986 $ Cost]*(A*L x + B*E x + C*B x) where: Estimated cost (Year X)
= estimated decommissioning costs in Year X (e.g., 2018) dollars, [1986 $ Cost] = estimated decommissioning costs in 1986 dollars (base cost for PWR/BWR in 1986 dollars)
, A = percent or portion (also referred to as coefficient) of the [1986 $ Cost] attributable to labor, materials, and services (0.65), B = percent or portion (also referred to as coefficient) of the [1986 $ Cost] attributable to energy and radioactive waste transportation (0.13), C = percent or portion (also referred to as coefficient) of the [1986 $ Cost] attributable to radioactive waste burial/disposition (0.22), L x = labor, materials, and services cost escalation, January of 1986 to latest month of Year X for which PPI data are available, E x = energy (electricity and fuel oil) and waste transportation cost escalation, January of 1986 to latest month of Year X for which CPI data are available, 12 B x = Low-level waste (LLW) burial/disposition cost escalation, January of 1986 to the latest month of Year X for which data are available, = (R x + S x) / (R1986 + S1986), where: R x = radioactive waste burial/disposition costs (excluding surcharges) in Year X dollars, S x = summation of surcharges in Year X dollars, R1986 = radioactive waste burial costs (excluding surcharges) in 1986 dollars, and S1986 = summation of surcharges in 1986 dollars. 3.2 Labor Cos t Escalation Factors In additi on to costs categorized as labor, certai n materials and services are also assum ed to escalate at the same rate as l abor and therefore included in coefficient A. Examples o f these costs include container costs, certain equipment costs, insurance costs, and costs o f supplies and materials.
Table 3-1 provides additional examples. Current employment cost indexes for l abor (column 3,Tabl e 3-2 , below) can be obtai ned from the "Employment C ost Indexes," published by t he U.S. Department o f Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) (Reference 4). Specifically, t he appropriate regional da t a from Table 6 of Reference 4 entitl ed "Employment C ost I ndex for total compensation, for privat e industry workers, by bargaining status, census region and division, and metropolitan area status" should be used. These indexes ma y also be obtai ned from B LS databases available on the Internet (see Appendix C for instructions). In order t o calculate the current lab o r cost escalation factor (L x) for a particular region, it must be recognized that t he B LS "re-indexed" the Employment C ost I ndex (ECI) i n 2005, t o 100. Accordingly, two (2) B LS co st i ndex numbers a r e required t o calculate the current L x value: 1) the base l abor cost escalation factor in 2005 (provided below in Table 3-2), and 2) the current Employment Cost Index (ECI) from t he BLS. T he December 2 005 base labor cost escalation factors , by region, ar e present ed in column 2 of Tabl e 3-2 , and current ECIs , f or the sake of example, ar e present ed in column 3. The base labor cost escalation factor i s t he value of L x at the time the BLS most recently r e-indexed the ECI (December 2005). As such, current values o f L x (column 4) ar e obtained from t he simple proportion:
L x(current)/ECI (current) = Base L x(2005)/100 For example, to calculate L x with a 2005 base v al ue for t he Northeast region in first quarter 2018 , L x/1 33.7 = 2.16/100 13 L x = 2.16*133.7/100 = 2.89 Table 3-2 Regional Factors for Labor Cost Adjustment Region Base L x (Dec 2005) Qtr 1 2018 ECI (Dec 2005 = 100) L x (Qtr 1 2018) Northeast 2.16 133.7 2.89 South 1.98 130.4 2.58 Midwest 2.08 129.8 2.70 West 2.06 134.6 2.77 3.3 Energy Cost Escalation FactorsThe cost escalation factor for energy, E x, is a weighted average of the following components
- industrial electric power for onsite decommissioning, P x, and diesel or other fuels for transportation and heavy equipment operation , F x. For the reference PWR, E x is given by:
E x (PWR) = 0.58P x + 0.42F x and for the reference BWR E x is given by: E x (BWR) = 0.54P x + 0.46F x These equations are derived from Table 6
-3 of Reference 1 and Table 5
-3 of Reference 2. The 0.58 and 0.54 coefficients for P x are calculated as the ratio of energy cost to the total energy and fuel for transportation cost for the reference PWR and BWR, respectively. The 0.42 and 0.46 coefficients for F x are calculated as the ratio of fuel for transportation cost to the total energy and fuel for transportation cost for the reference PWR and BWR, respectively.
The current values of P x and F x are calculated from the Producer Price Indexes (PPI), available in the "PPI Detailed Report," published by the U.S. Department of Labor, BLS (Reference 5). These indexes also can be obtained from BLS databases available on the Internet (see Appendix C for instructions). Because the energy cost category is the cost of the electricity and fuel needed to provide essential systems and services to the plant during decommissioning, the indexes used to calculate P x should be taken from data for industrial electric power (PPI Commodity Code 0543). The transportation cost category is assumed to escalate with the cost of diesel fuel or light fuel oils. The indexes used to calculate F x should therefor e be taken from data for light fuel oils (PPI Commodity Code 0573). The BLS data available for these PPI commodity codes are currently available by region. P x and F x are the values of current producer price indexes (PPI Codes 0543 and 0573, respectively) divided by the corresponding indexes for January 1986. All PPI values are based on a value of 100 for the year 1982 (base 1982 = 100). Thus, the values of P x and F x for March 2018 (latest data available) are:
P x = 241.0 (March 2018 value of code 0543) 114.2 (January 1986 value of code 0543) = 2.110 14 F x = 214.0 (March 201 8 value of code 0573) 82.0 (January 1986 value of code 0573) = 2.610 The value of E x for the reference PWR is therefore E x (PWR) = [(0.58 x 2.110) + (0.42 x 2.610)] = 2.320. This value of E x = 2.320 should then be used in the equation to adjust the energy cost (to March 2018 dollars) for decommissioning a PWR.
For the reference BWR, E x (BWR) = [(0.54 x 2.110) + (0.46 x 2.610)] = 2.340. 3.4 Waste Burial Cost Escalation Factors The waste burial cost escalation factor s , B x , for the year 2018 are provided in Table 2-1 for each of the LLW disposal sites
. To calculate the B x for a particular LLW burial site , the cost of disposal of each of the radioactive materials identified in Table 3
-3 was first estimated using the year 2018 price schedules provided in Appendix A of this report for each of the LLW disposal facilities. The cost of disposal for each of the radioactive materials was calculated based on numerous factors, including its classification (e.g., Class A, B, and C), its weight and volume, the number of packages, the number of shipments, its activity, and its surface dose rate. These factors are reported in NUREG/CR-0130 and NUREG/CR
-0672 (References 6 and 7), and associated Addendums 3 and 2 (References 8 and 9), respectively. The estimated disposal cost was summed for all radioactive materials and then divided by the1986 disposal cost estimate identified in Table 3
-1 to develop the year 2018 B x factors reported in Table 2-1. A comparison of the year 2018 B x factors in Table 2
-1 to the corresponding year 2016 B x factors reported in Revision 16 of NUREG
-1307, shows that the values increased for both the Washington site and the South Carolina site. These changes were influenced by increases in the disposal price schedules provided by the operators of th ose disposal facilities (see Appendix A). Regarding changes to the disposal price schedules, the following summarizes the changes:
For the Washington disposal facility, the volume and shipment disposal rates, the dose rate charge per container, and charges per container increased while the annual site charges and environmental site surveillance fee did not change from year 2016.
For the South Carolina disposal facility, all of the charges and surcharges increased except for the Atlantic Compact Commission administrative surcharge, which remained unchanged.
For the Utah disposal facility, the disposal rates for both solid and liquid LLW increased.
15 For the Texas disposal facility, the base waste volume charges, base radioactivity charges, and surcharges remain unchanged. The current approved rate schedule for disposal of LLW at the Texas CWF has not changed from the 2016 reported values.

3.5 Sample
Calculations of Estimated Reactor Decommissioning Costs Four sample calculations are provided in this section to demonstrate the use of the decommissioning cost equation developed above using the appropriate cost escalation factors of L x for labor, material, and services; E x for energy and fuel for waste transportation; and B x for radioactive waste burial/disposition. The coefficients A, B, and C (0.65 coefficient for labor, 0.13 coefficient for energy, and 0.22 coefficient for LLW burial) used in the examples are developed in Table 3-1. Waste generators with no LLW compact disposal site availability should use the B x
16 values for the generic LLW disposal site scenario (i.e., the column in Table 2
-1 titled "B x Values for Generators Located in the Unaffiliated States and those Located in Compact
-Affiliated States having no Disposal Facility"). Sample decommissioning costs for other years are provided in Appendix D

A-1APPENDIX A LOW-LEVEL WASTE BURIAL/DISPOSITION PRICES FOR THE CURRENT YEAR This appendix contains the price schedules for burial/disposition of LLW at the Texas, Washington, and South Carolina sites for the year 2018. Also provided is a price quote for the non-compact disposal facility located in Utah. These schedules are used to calculate the burial/disposition costs discussed in Appendix B. A.1 Texas LLW Disposal SiteBeginning in the Spring of 2012, a new facility located in Texas became available for disposal of LLW from states within the Texas Compact (comprised of Texas and Vermont). The Texas facility, or Texas Compact Waste Facility (CWF), also accepts LLW from out
-of-compact generators. The fees for LLW disposal are determined by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Out
-of-compact generators, however, must submit an import petition to the Texas Compact Commission for approval prior to shipping. The state of Texas also limits total non-compact waste disposed at the CWF to 30
-percent of licensed capacity and charges additional fees for out
-of-compact LLW. The current approved rate schedule for disposal of LLW at the CWF is provided in Section 336.1310 (Subchapter N) of Title 30 of the Texas Administrative Code (TAC). This rate schedule is provided in Exhibit A
-1. The fees in this exhibit are the maximum disposal rates that can be charged to in
-compact generators. Fees charged to out
-of-compact generators must be greater than these rates. Various established Texas fees charged to out
-of-compact LLW currently amounts to an additional 31.25
-percent on top of the rates shown in Exhibit A
-1. In addition, it is assumed that an additional 20
-percent in fees/taxes is charged for out
-of-compact LLW. A.2 South Carolina LLW Disposal SiteAccess to the South Carolina site by waste generators outside the Southeast Compact ended June 30, 1994, with site closure scheduled for December 31, 1995. However, effective July 1, 1995, the scheduled closure was canceled and access to the South Carolina facility was extended to all states except North Carolina. In June 2000, prohibition on waste from North Carolina was lifted.
Effective November 1, 1996, the operator of the South Carolina disposal site implemented a restructured waste disposal rate schedule. The restructured pricing is based on weight, dose rate, and curies with a cost incentive toward higher density packaging. All business after November 1, 1996, is through customer
-specific contracts.
In the years between 2001 and 2008, the maximum allowable volume of LLW disposed of at the South Carolina LLW disposal site from all sources was governed by a schedule contained in the Atlantic Interstate Low
-Level Radioactive Waste Compact Implementation Act, which was enacted into law July 1, 2000. This schedule is shown in Table A-1.

Reference:
Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1976, Section 1, Title 48, Chapter 46.
Effective July 1, 2008, out
-of-compact waste was prohibited from disposal at the South Carolina disposal site.
Weight charges, curie surcharges, and irradiated hardware charges all increased approximately 7.5 percent from the 2016 Atlantic Compact rates, while dose rate and administrative surcharge remained constant. As a result of these changes, the cost to disposition the LLW from both a BWR and a PWR increased approximately 7.5 percent. The rate schedule for the South Carolina LLW disposal site, effective July 1, 2018, is presented in Exhibit A
-2. A.3 Washington LLW Disposal Site Beginning in 1993, the Northwest Compact imposed on eligible (Northwest or Rocky Mountain Compact) waste generators an annual permit fee based on the volume of waste to be shipped to the Washington site for disposal. For 2018, the permit fees range from $424 to $42,400. Hospitals, universities, research centers, and industries pay the lower fees; NPPs pay the highest fee of $42,400. Permit fees for NPPs are included in this analysis for the years 1993 and later.
Beginning in 1994, the rate schedule for handling and disposing of heavy objects (greater than 5,000 pounds) at the Washington site was revised to recover additional crane rental costs from the waste generator. In 1996, the heavy object limit was raised to 17,500 pounds. A series of shipments of heavy objects for disposal was assumed that would minimize the crane surcharge and result in a one
-time only heavy object charge.
Effective January 1, 1996, the operator of the Washington site implemented a restructured rate schedule based on waste volume, number of shipments, number of containers, and dose rate at the container surface. Each waste generator also is assessed an annual site availability charge based on cumulative volume and dose rate at the surface of all containers disposed
. The 2008 rate schedule reflects increases in volume (14 percent), shipment (22 percent), and container (17 percent) charges compared to 2006. In addition, dose rate charges per container increased by a factor of 2.8. As a result of these changes, the cost to disposition a PWR increased moderately to 21 percent. However, the cost to disposition a BWR, with its larger volume of high dose rate material, almost doubled.
A-3In 2010, two algorithm changes were implemented to project more accurately charges for waste generated from t he decommissioning o f an NPP. The first w as a discount to the volume disposal rate o f 20 percent for LL W generat ed from the decommissioni ng of NPPs. The second was t o ca p t he container dose rate charge. According to the settlement agreement between U.S. Ecology Washington, Inc., the operator o f t h e Washington disposal facility, and the State o f Washington, onl y 14.2 percent o f t he Washington site's revenue requirement (which changes annually) m ay be recoup ed from container dose rate charges.
Compared with the 2016 rate schedule used in Revision 16 of NUREG-1307 , t he 2018 schedule reflect s increases i n volume (33.5 percent) and shipment (8.4 percent), container (32.4 percent), and dose rate (67 percent) charges. As a result o f thes e rate changes, subject t o the limitations described i n the previous paragraph, the cost to disposition the LLW from a PW R increased by 25 percent and t he c ost to dispos ition th e LLW f rom a BW R increased b y 25 percent. The rate s chedule for t he Washingt on LLW di sposal site, e ffectiv e May 1, 2018 , i s presented i n Exhibit A-3. A.4 Non-compact Disposal FacilityIn t he 1990s rapidly increasing f ees for disposal o f low-level radioactive waste spawned the creation of a ni ch e market for firms specializing in the management and disposal of LL W. Increasingly, NPP licensees be g an to outsource LLW management functions t o waste vendors for a negotiat ed fee (usually $/pound of LL W processed) and disposing o f Class A LL W at t he non-compact disposal facility in Utah. Waste vendors could manage w ast e from generation to disposal (including packaging, transportation, and volume reduction) o r a ny subset o f these functions that the licensee desired.
The v endor determined the most efficient disposition process for each waste stream
. T hese take into consideration sorting into cl ean and contaminated streams, recycling where possible, volume reducti on through the m any techniques currently commercially available, and disposal o f the residual LLW at the m ost cost-effective disposal site; including the no n-compact disposal facility located in Utah. The vendor's profit w as the difference between the price negotiated with the licensee and t he total co st for waste minimization, recycling, volum e reduction, packaging, transportation, and disposal. T he more effective the vendor w as at minimization, recycling, volume reduction, and obtaining volume discounts for packaging, transportation, and disposal, t he greater its profit. The decommissioning analyses reported in NUREG/CR
-0130 and NUREG/CR
-0672 did not consider the possible use of waste vendors or n on-compact Class A , LL W disposal facilities, given that these market niches essentially di d not exist at t he time. Beginning with Revision 8, NUREG-1307 (Reference 3) i ncl uded a scenario that provi ded for contracting with waste vendors t o manage t he disposition bulk LL W generated during decommissioning. This new scenario di d not modify o r alter i n any w ay the bases for the decommissioni ng fund requirement specified in 10 CFR 50.75, "Reporting and Recordkeeping for Decommissioning Planning." It merely provided an alternative burial co st escalation factor (B x) that reflected the scenario of disposing o f LL W usin g a combination of waste vendors, non-compact disposal facilities, and compact-affiliated disposal facilities. In support o f t he analysis perform ed for NUREG-1307, Revision 8, several waste vendors were surveyed to develop a representative cost for waste vendor services. Each v endor w as as k ed to provide a generic price quot e for processing tw o waste streams:
activated and contaminated concrete and contaminated metal. Vendors were asked t o provide thes e quotes as a price per A-4pound of waste, o r as a range o f prices per pound , based on the waste concrete and metal inventories in NUREG/CR-0130 and NUREG/CR
-0672. The price quotes were to encompass complete disposition of these waste streams (from generati on to disposal) and t o be developed assuming the vendor had a contract with a licensee engaged in a large decommissioning project. Based on t he results o f the survey, NUREG-1307, Revision 8, introduced an alternative burial cost escalation factor (B x) that assu m ed the use o f waste vendor services and disposal o f Class A LLW a t t he non-compact disposal facility located in Utah as an alternative to disposal o f al l decommissioning LLW at a comp act-a ffiliated disposal facility. T he scenario was introduced to provide potential s av ings from t he us e of waste vendor
- s. For a PWR unde r this scenario ,
9 8percent of t he w as te was as sum ed to be di spos itioned by w aste vendor s and the r emaining 2-p ercent wa s as sumed t o be disposed of a t a c ompact-a ffiliated disposal facility. For a BWR under t his scenario , 9 6-p ercent of t he w aste was as sumed t o be dispos itioned by w aste v endor s a nd the r emaining 4-p ercent was as sum ed to be d ispos ed of at a compact-a ffiliated dis posal facility. These proportions w ere determi ned from a component-b y-c omponent anal y sis o f the reference BWR and PWR. The portions o f w ast e ass umed t o be dispositioned by w ast e vendors were priced at t he r ates obtai ned from t he vendor s urveys, and the portions o f w as te assumed to be di sposed of a t compact-a ffiliated dis posal facilities w ere priced at r ates obt ai ned for those facilities.
I n support o f Revision 1 7 o f NURE G-1307 , a similar survey was conducted. I n response t o this survey, a price quote t o disposition t he components o f t he reference PWR and BWR at t he Utah disposal facility w as obtained. Unit costs, exclusive of taxes, were provi ded for several different categories o f components, which are provided in Tabl e A-2. Th e updated rates represent an average increase of 5 percent , with the excepti on of evaporator bottoms which increased by approximately 8 percent, compared to the 2016 rates. These rates assume no volume discounts, which can be substantial.
The development o f t he B x factor for the "Combination of Compact-Affiliated and Non-Compact Disposal Facilities" scenario and t he "Non-Compact Disposal Facilities" scenario was bas ed on these rates and assumed a 10 percent tax.

Uniform Schedule of Maximum Disposal Rates for Atlantic Compact Regional Waste EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2018 The Uniform Schedule of Maximum Disposal Rates for Atlantic Compact Regional Waste is a permanent ceiling on disposal rates applicable to Atlantic Compact waste that is adjusted each year in accordance with the Producer Price Index. South Carolina may charge Atlantic Compact generators less than the Uniform Maximum Schedule, but cannot charge regional generators more than this rate.
THE MINIMUM CHARGE PER SHIPMENT, EXCLUDING SURCHARGES AND SPECIFIC OTHER CHARGES, IS $1,000.00 1. WEIGHT CHARGES (not including surcharges)
A. Base weight charge Density Range Weight Rate i) Equal to or greater than 120 lbs./ft 3 $8.169 per pound ii) Equal to or greater than 75 lbs./ft 3 and less than 120 lbs./ft 3 $8.986 per pound iii) Equal to or greater than 60 lbs./ft 3 and less than 75 lbs./ft 3 $11.028 per pound iv) Equal to or greater than 45 lbs./ft 3 and less than 60 lbs./ft 3 $14.298 per pound v) Less than 45 lbs./ft 3 $14.298 per pound multiplied by: (45 ÷ pounds per cubic foot of the package)

. MAXIMUM MILLICURIE CHARGE IS
$244,843 PER SHIPMENT (400,000 MCI).
B. Irradiated hardware charges
$92,845 per shipment (See Note B under Miscellaneous)
C. Special nuclear material surcharge
$18.564 per gram D. Atlantic Compact Commission administrative surcharge $6.00 per cubic foot (Subject to change during year)
A-9 Exhibit A-2 NOTES A. Surcharges for the Barnwell Extended Care Fund and the Decommissioning Trust Fund are included in the rates.
B. Irradiated hardware: As a general rule, billing as irradiated hardware pertains to shipments of exceptionally high activity that require clearing of the site and special off
-loading into a slit trench. These generally include TN
-RAM 1 and other horizontally offloaded cask shipments. In addition to items of irradiated hardware, shipments considered irradiated hardware, for purposes of disposal, have included certain sealed sources and materials with exceptionally high levels of radioactivity.
C. Large components (e.g., steam generators, reactor pressure vessels, coolant pumps).
Disposal fees for large components (e.g., steam generators, reactor pressure vessels, reactor coolant pumps, or items that will not fit into standard sized disposal vaults) are based on the generally applicable rates, in their entirety, except that the weight and volume used to determine density and weight related charges is calculated as follows:
- 1. For packages where the large component shell qualifies as the disposal vault per Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) regulations, weight and volume calculations are based on all sub
-components and material contained within the inside surface of the large component shell, including all internals and any stabilization media injected by the shipper, but excluding the shell itself and all incidental external attachments required for shipping and handling; and
- 2. For packages with a separate shipping container that qualifies as the disposal vault per DHEC regulations, weight and volume calculations are based on the large component, all sub-components, and material contained within the inside surface of the shipping container, including any stabilization media injected by the shipper (including that between the large component and the shipping container), but excluding the shipping container itself and all incidental external attachments required for shipping and handling.
D. Co-mingled shipments from brokers and processors: For containers that include waste from different generators (DHEC permittees), the weight and density of the waste from each generator will be assessed separately for purposes of the weight charge in I.A. The dose of the container as a whole will be used to assess the dose multiplier in I.B. The millicurie charge 2.A. above
, applies individually to each portion of waste in the shipment from each generator. The disposal site operator will provide guidelines for application of this method.
E. Transport vehicles with additional shielding features may be subject to an additional handling fee, which will be provided upon request.
F. In certain circumstances, the disposal site operator may assess additional charges for necessary services that are not part of and are additional to disposal rates established by the State of South

-fuel bearing solid materials.
A-10 Carolina. These include decontamination services and special services as described in the Barnwell Site Disposal Criteria.
G. The disposal site operator has established the following policies and procedures, which are provided herein for informational purposes:
- i. Terms of payment are net 30 days upon presentation of invoices. A per-month service charge of one and one
-half percent (1.5 percent) shall be levied on accounts not paid within thirty (30) days. ii. Company purchase orders or a written letter of authorization and substance acceptable to Chem-Nuclear Systems, L.L.C. (CNS) shall be received before receipt of radioactive waste material at the Barnwell Site and shall refer to CNS Radioactive Material License, the Barnwell Site Disposal Criteria, and subsequent changes thereto.
iii. All shipments shall receive a CNS shipment identification number and conform to the Prior Notification Plan.

- 2. Exemptions
- a. As to waste that is generated by educational research institutions for research, medical or educational purposes, such institutions shall be placed in a rate block for the site availability charge which is one (1) lower than what would otherwise apply through application of the block criteria shown above. "Educational research Institution" means a state or independent, not
-for-profit, post
-secondary educational institution
. b. As to waste that arises as residual or secondary waste from brokers' provision of compaction or processing services for others, if application of the block criteria shown above would place a broker in a rate block for the site availability charge which is greater than Block No. 7, such broker shall be placed in the rate block which is the greater of (i) Block No. 7, or (ii) the block which is two (2) lower than what would otherwise apply A-12 through application of the block criteria shown above. "Brokers" are those customers holding the "broker" classification of site use permits issued by the Department of Health. 3. Payment Arrangements
- a. Initial Determination Initial determination as to the applicable rate block for each customer shall be based on projections provided by customers prior to the beginning of each calendar year. For those customers who do not intend to ship waste to the facility during the calendar year (those assigned to block No. 0) and for those customers who are initially determined to fall into block Nos. 1
-2, the entire site availability charge for the year will be due and payable as of January 1. For those customers who are initially determined to fall into block Nos. 3
-8, the entire site availability charge will also be due and payable as of January 1, although those customers may make special arrangements with the Company to pay the charge in equal installments at the beginning of each calendar quarter. For those generators who are initially determined to fall in block nos. 9-11, 1/12 of the site availability charge will be due and payable as of the beginning of each calendar month. These customers may pay in advance if they wish.
- b. Reconciliation The site availability charge is assessed on the basis of actual volume and dose rate of waste delivered during the calendar year. Assessment of additional amounts, or refunds of overpaid amounts, will be made as appropriate to reconcile the initial determination regarding applicable rate block with the actual volume and dose rates during the calendar year.

B-1 APPENDIX B CALCULATION OF LOW-LEVEL WASTE BURIAL/DISPOSITION COST ESCALATION FACTORS The calculations necessary to determine the costs for burial/disposition of radioactive wastes resulti ng from decommissioning the reference PWR and the reference BWR are performed using spreadsheet models. The spreadsheets evaluate the burial/disposition costs for each of the items originally budgeted in the PWR and BWR decommissioning studies and in Addendums 4 and 3 (Reference s 1 and 2), respectively, to those reports. The costs are based on the published price schedules from the compact
-affiliated disposal facilities and a price quote from the non-compact disposal facility located in Utah.
The B x values reported in this document reflect the updated rate schedules and price quote. All the calculations are based on the same inventory of radioactive wastes as was postulated in the 1986 and 1978-19 80 analyses. Starting in 1988, the inventories also included post-Three Mile Island (TMI)-2 contributions from the reference PWR and the reference BWR (References 1 and 2). B.1 Generators Located in States Not Affiliated with a Compact having a Disposal Facility Both the Utah and Texas disposal facilities are available for the disposal of all LLW regardless of whether a generator has a compact
-affiliated disposal facility available for disposal of their LLW or not. The Utah facility can only dispose of Class A LLW, while the Texas facility is a full
-service disposal facility and so can dispose of Class A, B, and C LLW (subject to the constraints described in Section A.3). For the year 2018 , B x = 12.853 and 13.422 for a PWR and BWR, respectively, for disposal of most Class A LLW at the Utah non
-compact site, and for the remainder of LLW at the Texas LLW disposal site. The B x values include the additional fees imposed for the disposal of non
-compact LLW at the Texas disposal facility. The B x values are summarized in Table 2-1. These B x values should be used by generators located in States not affiliated with a compact having a disposal facility.
Waste burial costs for the year 2018 were developed using both the rate schedules for the Texas disposal facility provided in Exhibit A
-1, and the associated additional fees for out
-of-compact waste, and the price quote for the non
-compact disposal facility provided in Table A-2. The spreadsheet calculations for the current year, which are too voluminous to present here, are summarized in Table B
-1 and Table B
-2 for PWR and BWR plants, respectively. For comparison purposes, Table B-3 and Table B-4 provide summaries of waste burial/disposition costs for 2016, respectively, for both PWR and BWR plants. These estimates were originally reported in Revision 16 of NUREG-1307. B.2 Texas LLW Disposal Site For the year 2018 , B x = 8.508 and 8.293 for a PWR and BWR, respectively, at the Texas disposal facility. These B x values reflect the adjustment in waste burial costs at the Texas LLW disposal site normalized to the 1986 Washington LLW disposal site burial costs
. Waste burial costs for the year 2018 were developed using the rate schedules provided in Exhibit A-1. The spreadsheet calculations for the current year, which are too voluminous to present here, are summarized in Table B
-5 and Table B-6 for PWR and BWR plants, B-2 respectively. For comparison purposes, Table B-7 and Table B-8 provide summaries of the waste burial costs at the Texas LLW disposal site for 2016, respectively, for both PWR plants and BWR plants. These estimates originally were reported in Revision 16 of NUREG-1307. The waste burial costs at the Texas disposal facility have not changed from the 2016 costs reported in Revision 16 of NUREG
-1307. B.3 South Carolina LLW Disposal Site For the year 2018 , B x = 32.329 and 28.314 for a PWR and BWR, respectively, at the South Carolina disposal facility. These B x values reflect the adjustment in waste burial costs at the South Carolina LLW disposal site normalized to the 1986 Washington LLW disposal site burial costs. B x values for several previous revisions of NUREG
-1307 are summarized in Table 2-1. Waste burial costs for the year 2018 were developed using the rate schedules provided in Exhibit A-2. The spreadsheet calculations for the current year, which are too voluminous to present here, are summarized in Table B
-9 and Table B-10 for PWR and BWR plants, respectively. For comparison purposes, Table B-11 and Table B-12 provide summaries of the waste burial costs at the South Carolina LLW disposal site for 2016, respectively, for both PWR plants and BWR plants. These estimates originally were reported in Revision 16 of NUREG-1307. B.4 Washington LLW Disposal Site The LLW disposal site located in Washington was used to develop the original decommissioning cost estimates for the reference PWR and BWR. These estimates are the basis for the minimum decommissioning fund requirement specified in 10 CFR 50.75(c), which is in 1986 dollars. Thus, B x = 1.0/1.0 (for PWR/BWR) for 1986.
For the year 2018 , B x = 10.854 and 9.118 for a PWR and BWR, respectively, at the Washington disposal facility. These B x values reflect the adjustment in waste burial costs at the Washington LLW disposal site since 1986
. B x values for several previous revisions of NUREG
-1307 are summarized in Table 2-1. Waste burial costs for the year 2018 were developed using the rate schedule provided in Exhibit A-1. The spreadsheet calculations for the current year, which are too voluminous to present here, are summarized in Table B-13 and Table B-14 for PWR and BWR plants, respectively. For comparison purposes, Table B-15 and B-16 provide summaries of the waste burial costs at the Washington LLW disposal site for 2 016 , respectively, for both PWR plants and BWR plants. These estimates originally were reported in Revision 16 of NUREG-1307. B.5 Combination of Non
-Compact and Compact-Affiliated Disposal Facilities For the year 2018 , B x = 8.697 and 7.186 for a PWR and BWR, respectively, for disposal of most Class A LLW at the Utah non-compact disposal site , and for the remainder of LLW at the Washington LLW disposal site. B x = 11.607 and 12.872 for a PWR and BWR, respectively, for disposal of most Class A LLW at the Utah non-compact disposal site , and for the remainder of LLW at the South Carolina disposal site. B x = 11.054 and 10.731 for a PWR and BWR, respectively, for disposal of most Class A LLW at the Utah non
-compact site
, and for the remainder of LLW at the Texas LLW disposal site. B x values are summarized in Table 2-1.
B-3 Waste burial costs for the year 2018 were developed using both the rate schedules f or the compact-affiliated disposal facilities provided in Exhibits A
-1 , A-2, and A-3 and for the price quote f or the non-compact disposal facility provided in Table A-2. The spreadsheet calculations for the current year, which are too voluminous to present here, are summarized in Table B-17 through Table B-22 for the Washington
, South Carolina, and Texa s LLW disposal sites, respectively, for both PWR and BWR plants. For comparison purposes, Table B-23 through Table B-28 provide summaries of the Washington
, South Carolina, and Texas waste burial/disposition costs for 2016 , respectively, for both PWR and BWR plants. These estimates were originally reported in Revision 16 of NUREG-1307. B.6 Other As other low
-level radioactive waste burial sites come into service in the interstate compacts, values for B x will be calculated using the price schedules for each of those sites and will be incorporated into subsequent issues of this NUREG. Those materials whose activity concentrations exceed the limits for Class C LLW are identified by footnote as greater-than-Class C (GTCC) material. Because the analyses in this NUREG postulate placing this material in a LLW disposal facility, the disposal costs for this material may be significantly overestimated compared with high
-density packaging and geologic repository disposal. It may also be feasible to store GTCC waste in independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs) or other interim storage facilities, as permitted by 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."

iii ABSTRACT Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.75 , "Reporting and Recordkeeping for Decommissioning Planning ," t he U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requires nuclear power reactor licensees to adjust annually, in current year dollars, their estimate of the cost to decommission their plants. The annual updates are part of the process for providing reasonable assurance that adequate funds for decommissioning will be available when needed. This NUREG , which is periodically revised , describes the formula in 10 CFR 50.75(c) that is acceptable to the NRC for determining the minimum decommissioning fund requirements for nuclear power reactor licensees
. This formula is based on the estimated cost of decommissioning a reference pressurized
-water reactor (PWR) and a reference boiling
-water reactor (BWR) in 1986, and is escalated to current year dollars using an adjustment factor provided in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2). The primary purpose of this report is to provide the technical basis, including references, for the estimated cost of decommissioning the reference PWR and reference BWR
, and to develop the escalation factor for the low-level radioactive waste (LLW) burial cost portion of the adjustment factor. Escalation factors for the other portions of the adjustment factor (i.e., labor and energy costs), are also provided in this report
. This 17 th revision of NUREG-1307 , "Changes in Decommissioning Waste Disposal Costs at Low-Level Waste Burial Facilities," contains burial cost escalation factors updated to the year 2018 for the reference PWR and for the reference BWR. As presented in Table 2
-1, "Values of B x as a Function of LLW Burial Site and Year
," multiple burial cost escalation factors are provided that reflect various LLW burial scenarios for each reactor type. These were developed because licensees may have the option to ship waste to one or more of the four currently operating LLW disposal facilities in the United States, and the cost of disposal varies among each of the four facilities. In addition, there are various limitations on LLW disposal facility access by reactors, based upon the state in which the reactor is located.
The different LLW burial scenarios are described in detail in Section 1.2, "LLW Disposal Cost Scenarios." The currently operating LLW disposal facilities are located in
- 1) Texas, 2) South Carolina , 3) Washington, and 4) Utah. The Texas, South Carolina, and Washington facilities are the host disposal sites for the Texas LLW Disposal Compact (Texas Compact), the Atlantic Interstate LLW Management Compact (Atlantic Compact), and the Northwest Compact on LLW Management (Northwest Compact), respectively (Appendix E provides additional information about LLW compacts), and are referred to in this report as compact-affiliated disposal facilities. The Washington LLW disposal facility also accepts LLW generated in the three member
-states of the Rocky Mountain LLW Compact (Rocky Mountain Compact). The fourth site (Utah) is not associated with a specific LLW compact, and so is referred to in this report as a non
-compact disposal facility. Nuclear power plant facilities located within the LLW compact s for the compact
-affiliated disposal facilities can dispose of their LLW at the affiliated disposal facility or, in some cases, can dispose of a portion of their LLW at the non
-compact disposal facility. Nuclear power plants not located within a LLW compact having a compact-affiliated disposal facility can dispose of their LLW at either the Texas or Utah disposal facilities. The Utah site accept s only Class A LLW while the Texas site will accept Class A, B, and C LLW (see Section 1.1 for definitions of these LLW classes). For plants that have no disposal site available within their designated LLW compact , this report assumes that the cost for disposal of Class A LLW is the same as that for the Utah disposal facility
, and the cost for disposal of Class B and C LLW is the same as that for the Texas disposal facility
, and includes accounting for out
-of-compact fees.
iv In the 2017 decommissioning fund status reporting cycle , in which licensees provided decommissioning trust fund data to the NRC by March 31, 2017, as required by 10 CFR 50.75(f), 79 of the 100 operating reactors in the U.S. applied LLW burial cost escalation factor s based on the Table 2-1 scenario in which non-compact affiliated generators us ed the Utah and Texas disposal sites. In this current revision to NUREG
-1307, estimated 2018 disposal cost s for this scenario are approximately 3.1 percent higher for the reference PWR and 2.2 percent higher for the reference BWR
, compared to 2016 disposal costs. Increases in disposal costs were derived mostly from increases in disposal fees for the Utah disposal facility.
In the same 2017 NRC reporting cycle, four of the 100 operating plants in the U.S. applied LLW burial cost escalation factors based on the Table 2-1 scenario in which compact affiliated generators us ed only the Texas disposal site. In this current revision to NUREG
-1307, estimated 2018 disposal cost s for Texas LLW compact affiliated generators did not change, as the state-approved rate schedule for disposal of LLW at the Texas disposal facility remained unchanged from the 2016 state-approved rate schedul e used in Revision 16 of NUREG
-1307. Also in the 2017 NRC reporting cycle, 12 of the 100 operating plants in the U.S. applied LLW burial cost escalation factors based on the Table 2-1 scenario in which compact affiliated generators used only the South Carolina disposal site, or used a combination of both the South Carolina disposal site and the non
-compact disposal facility. (The South Carolina disposal site accepts LLW from facilities located in South Carolina, New Jersey, and Connecticut, all members of t he Atlantic Compact.) In this current revision to NUREG
-1307, estimated 2018 disposal cost s using only the South Carolina disposal site, are approximately 7.5 percent higher for both the reference PWR and BWR , compared to 201 6 disposal costs. Increase s in disposal costs were derived mostly from increases in disposal costs associated with the weight and activity (or curie) content of LLW, and charges for irradiated hardware.
The estimated disposal cost s using the combination of both the South Carolina disposal site and the non-compact disposal facility are approximately 6 percent higher for both the PWR and BWR , compared to 20 16 disposal costs. Increases in disposal costs were derived mostly from increases in disposal costs associated with the weight and activity (or curie) content of LLW, and charges for irradiated hardware, for the South Carolina site
, and increases in disposal rates for the non
-compact disposal facility
. Lastly, in the 2017 NRC reporting cycle, one of the 100 operating plants in the U.S. applied a LLW burial cost escalation factor based on the Table 2
-1 scenario in which a compact affiliated generator used only the Washington disposal site. The estimated 2018 disposal cost using onl y the Washington disposal site, which accepts LLW from the 11 member-states of the Northwest and Rocky Mountain Compacts, are approximately 25 percent higher for both the reference PWR and BWR , compared to 201 6 disposal costs. Increases in disposal costs were derived mostly from increases in LLW volume and container charge s. Licensees may use the escalation factors from this NUREG in their cost analyses, or they may generate and report site-specific cost estimates that resul t in a total cost estimate of no less than the amount estimated by using the 10 CFR 50.75(c) formula and cost escalation factors presented in this NUREG. In the 2017 NRC reporting cycle, four of the 100 operating plants in the U.S. reported cost data using site-specific cost estimates.
Revision 17 to NUREG-1307 assumes that LLW generated from day-to-day plant operations would be disposed of using the licensee's operating funds
, and thus would not rely on decommissioning funds identified in the formula calculation. However, facilities located in states that are members of a LLW compact with no available LLW disposal site may be forced to v provide interim storage for this waste (although most LLW could potentially be disposed of at the non-compact disposal facility located in Utah
, or at the compact-affiliated disposal facility located in Texas
). Accordingly, some of the LLW may ultimately need to be disposed of during decommissioning following interim storage. For those plants operating through extended license terms , this volume can become significant and the disposal cost would not be accounted for in a decommissioning trust fund based on the formula calculation.
The views expressed in this report are not necessarily those of the NRC. NUREG-1307, Revision 17, is not a substitute for NRC regulations. The approaches and methods described in this NUREG are provided for information only. Publication of this report does not necessarily constitute NRC approval or agreement with the information contained herein.
vi i FOREWORD Nuclear power reactor licensees are required by 10 CFR 50.75 , "Reporting and Recordkeeping for Decommissioning Planning," to annually adjust the estimated decommissioning costs of their nuclear facilities to ensure adequate funds are available for decommissioning. The regulation (10 CFR 50.75(c)(2)) references NUREG-1307 as the appropriate source for obtaining the escalation factor for waste burial/disposition costs. This 17 th revision of NUREG-1307 provides current, as of July 2018 , waste burial/disposition costs using the compact-affiliated disposal facilities located in Andrews County, Texas
- Barnwell, South Carolina; and Richland, Washington, and the non
-compact disposal facility in Clive, Utah. In addition, this revision includes a disposal cost scenario that provides for dispos a l of low-level waste (LLW) using a combination of non-compact and compact-affiliated disposal facilities. Licensees can factor these numbers into the adjustment formula, as specified in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2), to determine the minimum decommissioning fund requirement for their nuclear facilities. Although this NUREG is specifically prepared for the use of power reactor licensees, it also can be a valuable source of information for material licensees on current waste burial/disposition costs. On July 1, 2000, th e South Carolina disposal facility became the host disposal facility for the newly formed Atlantic Compact, comprised of the States of Connecticut, New Jersey, and South Carolina. Effective July 1, 2008, LLW from States that are not members of the Atlantic Compact was no longer accepted at the South Carolina disposal facility. The South Carolina Public Service Commission annually determines the costs of waste disposal at the South Carolina disposal facility and provides the site operator with an allowable operating margin. The Richland, Washington, facility only accepts LLW from the Northwest and Rocky Mountain Compacts. The Northwest Compact is comprised of the States of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, and Hawaii. The Rocky Mountain Compact is comprised of the States of Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico. The costs of disposal for this facility are determined annually based on waste generator volume projections and a maximum annual operator revenue set by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission. If the total operator revenue is exceeded in a given year, a rebate may be sent to the waste generator.
The Andrews County, Texas, facility or Texas Compact Waste Facility (CWF)
, accepts LLW from both the Texas Compact and out-o f-compact generators. The fees for LLW disposal are determined by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Out-of-compact generators, however, must submit an import petition to the Texas Compact Commission for approval prior to shipping. The State of Texas also limits total non
-compact waste disposed at the CWF to 30
-percent of licensed capacity.
Since the South Carolina and Washington LLW disposal facilities are available only to licensee s located within the ir respective compacts, an alternative available to licensees is to dispose of decommissioning Class A LLW at a non-compact disposal facility. Costs for this scenario are based on a price quote received from the operator of the non-compact disposal facility located in Utah. Revision 17 to NUREG-130 7 provides waste burial/disposition cost escalation factors for this scenario , in addition to the standard scenario of disposing of 100-percent of decommissioning LLW at a compact-affiliated disposal facility. Revision 17 to NUREG-1307 assumes that LLW generated during plant operations is disposed of using operating funds. Nuclear power plants that are members of a LLW Compact that ha s no disposal site available for LLW may be forced to provide interim storage for this waste , although viii most LLW may be able t o be disposed of at the non-compact disposal facility located in Utah or at the compact
-affiliated disposal facility located in Texas. The LLW volume could be significant for plants with extended operating periods (e.g., beyond 40
-years), and the disposal cost of this additional volume may not be accounted for in a decommissioning trust fund based on the formula calculation.
For licensees having no disposal site available within their designated LLW Compact, NUREG-1307, Revision 17, assumes that the cost for disposal of Class A LLW is the same as that for the Utah disposal facility , and the cost for disposal of Class B and C LLW is the same as that for the Texas disposal facility including accounting for out
-of-compact fees. Accordingly, given these considerations, licensees may want to set aside additional funds to avoid significant future shortfalls in funding

This is one step of a multi-step process for providing reasonable assurance to the NRC that adequate funds for decommissioning are planned for and accumulated beginning in licensing and through operations.
This NUREG provides escalation factors for the waste burial/disposition component of the decommissioning funding formul a , as required by 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2).
This NUREG also provides the regional escalation factors for the labor and energy components of the decommissioning fund requirement.
Together, these escalation factors are used to adjust the NRC minimum decommissioning fund requirement by means of an "adjustment factor." The term "adjustment factor," as used in this NUREG and in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2), refers to increases and decreases in estimated decommissioning costs subsequent to issuance of the 10 CFR 50.75 regulation
- s. The base decommissioning fund requirements in these regulations were established in 1986 dollars. The adjustment factor escalates the cost, in 1986 dollars, to costs in today's dollars
. This NUREG is updated periodically to reflect changes in waste buri al/disposition costs and account s for changes in the labor and energy values
. This NUREG provides t he development of a formula for estimating decommissioning cost s that are acceptable to the NRC. Sources of information used in the formula are identified. Values developed for the escalation of radioactive waste burial/disposition costs, by site and by year, are also provided. Licensees may use the formula, the coefficients, and the burial/disposition cost escalation factors from this NUREG in their analyses, or they may use an adjustment rate at least equal to the approach presented herein. The formula and its coefficients, together with guidance to other data sources needed to complete the formula calculation, (i.e., U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics), are summarized in Chapter 2. The development of the formula and its coefficients, with sample calculations, are presented in Chapter 3. Price schedules for LLW burial/disposition for the y ear 2018 are given in Appendix A f or compact-affiliated and non-compact disposal facilities. Calculations to determine the burial/disposition escalation factors, B x , for each site and year of evaluation are summarized in Appendix B. 1.1 Definitions This section provides the definition of key terms utilized throughout this NUREG.
Low-level radioactive waste (LLW). LLW is a general term for a wide range of items that have become contaminated with radioactive material or have become radioactive through exposure to neutron radiation. Radioactive materials are present at nuclear power plants undergoing decommissioning as the result of plant operations prior to permanent shutdown and as the result of decommissioning activities. Examples include radioactively contaminated equipment, piping, tanks, hardware, and tools; concrete debris and soil; liquid radioactive waste (radwaste) treatment residues; and radioactively contaminated protective shoe covers and clothing; cleaning rags, mops, and filters. The radioactivity in these wastes can range from just above natural background levels to much higher levels, such as seen in components from inside the reactor vessel of a nuclear power plant. LLW from decommissioning activities is typically shipped to a disposal site specifically licensed for disposal of LLW.
2 LLW Classification. 10 CFR 61.55(a)(2) defines three classes of LLW acceptable for routine near-surface disposal based on its radiological and physical characteristics:
(i) Class A waste is waste that is usually segregated from other waste classes at the disposal site. The physical form and characteristics of Class A waste must meet the minimum requirements set forth in § 61.56(a). If Class A waste also meets the stability requirements set forth in § 61.56(b), it is not necessary to segregate the waste for disposal.
(e.g., dry active waste, protective shoe covers and clothing
) (ii) Class B waste is waste that must meet more rigorous requirements on waste form to ensure stability after disposal. The physical form and characteristics of Class B waste must meet both the minimum and stability requirements set forth in § 61.56. (e.g., primary resin, primary filters)
(iii) Class C waste is waste that not only must meet more rigorous requirements on waste form to ensure stability but also requires additional measures at the disposal facility to protect against inadvertent intrusion. The physical form and characteristics of Class C waste must meet both the minimum and stability requirements set forth in § 61.56. (e.g., radioactive components)
LLW Compacts. The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985 (LL RWPAA) makes each state responsible for disposing of the LLW generated within its boundaries and establishes a mechanism for states to enter into compacts to establish regional LLW disposal facilities. Appendix E identifies the compacts that have been formed and the states affiliated with each. Appendix E also identifies the states that are not affiliated with any compact. Compact-affiliated Disposal Facility. A LLW disposal facility that has been established by a compact in accordance with the LL RWPAA. Four compacts, representing 16 states, have established three LLW disposal facilities: (1) Northwest Compact and Rocky Mountain Compac t - U.S. Ecology disposal facility located in Richland, Washington, (2) Atlantic Compact
- EnergySolutions disposal facility located in Barnwell, South Carolina, and (3) Texas Compact
- Waste Control Specialists disposal facility located in Andrews County, Texas. Non-compact Disposal Facility. A LLW disposal facility that was established outside of the framework of the LL RWPAA and is not affiliated with a compact. Only one LLW disposal facility meets this definition
- the EnergySolutions disposal facility located in Clive, Utah.
1.2 LLW Disposal Cost Scenario s NUREG-1307, Revision 1 7 , contains disposal costs updated to the year 2018 for the reference pressurize d-water reactor (PWR) and the reference boiling-water reactor (BWR). Three scenarios for estimating these costs are presented. The first scenario assume s that 100-percent of the low-level waste (LLW) generated during decommissioning is disposed of at one o f the three compact-affiliated disposal facilities located in Washington
, South Carolina, and Texas. This is the second revision of NUREG
-1307 to include costs for the Texas site, which became operational in 2012. Year 2018 B x escalation factors, expressed as a ratio of 2018 disposal costs to the original 1986 disposal costs , are also provided. For historical purposes, disposal costs for the reference reactors and B x escalation factors at the Washington and South Carolina 3 sites for the years 2006 , 2008 , 2010 , 2012 , and 2016 are also provided. See previous revisions of NUREG-1307 for disposal costs prior to 200
- 6. The second scenario provides for disposing of LLW using a combination of non-compact and compact-affiliated disposal facilities. For a PWR u nder this scenario , 9 3-percent of the LLW is assumed to be disposed of at a non-compact disposal facility (Utah) and the remaining 7-percent is assumed to be disposed of at a compact-affiliated disposal facility. For a BWR under this scenario , 95-percent of the LLW is assumed to be disposed of at a non-compact disposal facility (Utah) and the remaining 5-percent is assumed to be disposed of at a compact-affiliated disposal facility. This scenario , which is considered an acceptable alternative for licensees, allows NPP licensees to take advantage of potentially lower disposal costs for much of their LLW. B x escalation factors for these "alternative
" disposal costs are also provided. The third scenario provides for disposing of all LLW at non-compact disposal facilities or compact-affiliated disposal facilities that accept out
-of-compact waste
. NUREG-1307, Revision 1 7 , assumes that LLW generated during plant operations is dispos ed of using operating funds. Plants that are members of a LLW Compact that ha s no disposal site available for LLW may be forced to provide interim storage for this waste (although most LLW may be able to be disposed of at the non-compact disposal facility located in Utah or at the compact-affiliated disposal facility located in Texas
). Some of this waste may ultimately need to be disposed of during decommissioning. This LLW could be significant for plants with extended operating periods (e.g., beyond 40
-years), and the disposal cost of this additional volume may not be accounted for in a decommissioning trust fund based on the formula calculation.
For plants that have no disposal site available within their designated LLW Compact , NUREG-1307, Revision 17, assumes that the cost for disposal of Class A LLW is the same as that for the Utah disposal facility
, and that the cost for disposal of Class B and C LLW is the same as that for the Texas disposal facility
, including accounting for out
-of-compact fees. As new disposal scenarios become available, they will be incorporated into subsequent revisions of NUREG-1307.
5 2 DECOMMISSIONING COST ELEMENTS The elements of decommissioning cost s under 50.75(c)(2) are assigned to three categories:
(1) those that are proportiona l to labor costs, L x; (2) those that are proportional to energy costs, E x; and (3) those that are proportional to burial costs, B x. The adjustment of the total decommissioning cost estimate can be expressed by: Estimated cost (Year X) = [1986 $ cost] [A*L x + B*E x + C*B x] where A, B, and C are coefficients representing the percent or portion of the total 1986 dollar costs attributable to labor (0.65), energy (0.13), and burial (0.22), respectively, and sum to 1.0. The factors L x , E x , and B x are defined by: L x = labor cost escalation factor , January of 1986 to the latest month of Year X for which data are available, E x = energy cost escalation factor , January of 1986 to the latest month of Year X for which data are available, and, B x = LLW burial/disposition cost escalation factor , January of 1986 to the latest month of Year X for which data are available
. For labor and energy cost escalation factors used in calculating the total decommissioning cost estimate for years subsequent to 1986, L x and E x are based on the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) national producer price indexes, national consumer price indexes, and local conditions for a given site (see Chapter 3).
B x is evaluated by recalculating the costs of burial/disposition of the radioactive wastes from the reference PWR (Reference 1) and the reference BWR (Reference 2) based on the price schedules provided by the available disposal facilities for the year of interest. The results of these recalculations are presented in Table 2-1, by site and by year. These recalculations are performed by an NRC contractor.
Effective January 1, 1993, radioactive waste from states that are not members of the Northwest Compact (comprised of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, and Hawaii) or Rocky Mountain Compact (comprised of Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico) was no longer accepted at the Washington disposal site.
Effective July 1, 2000, the South Carolina LLW burial site applied different price schedules for waste from s tates within and outside the then newly created Atlantic Compact (comprised of South Carolina, Connecticut, and New Jersey
). Effective July 1, 2008, radioactive waste from States that are not members of the Atlantic Compact was no longer accepted at the Sout h Carolina disposal site.
Beginning in the Spring of 2012, a new LLW disposal facility became available for disposal of waste from States within the Texas Compact (comprised of Texas and Vermont). Disposal costs for this facility were included in NUREG-130 7 Revision 16 for the first time.
6 Licensees not located in the Northwest, Rocky Mountain, Atlantic, or Texas Compacts should use the B x values for "Generators Located in States Not Affiliated with a Compact having a Disposal Facility" (see footnote (c) in Table 2-1). Effective with Revision 8 of this NUREG (December 1998), the scenario to use a combination of waste vendors, or non-compact disposal facilities, and compact
-affiliated disposal facilities was mad e available, and was referred to as "Direct Disposal with Vendors
." Effective with Revision 1 5 of this NUREG (ML130223A030, January 2013)
, the nomenclature for the two disposal scenario s as used in the previous revisions of NUREG
-1307 , (referred to as "Direct Disposal" and "Direct Disposal with Vendors
,") was changed to "Compact
-Affiliated Disposal Facility Only" and "Combination of Compact
-Affiliated and Non
-Compact Disposal Facilities
," to better describe these scenario s. The B x values for this scenario are also provided in Table 2-1 (see footnote s (d) and (e) in Table 2-1). The decision rests with the licensees to determine the scenario that best represents their particular situation.

-1307 for development of values prior to 2018. (b) Effective with NUREG
-1307, Revision 16, the Compact Waste Facility (CWF) in Andrews County, Texas, is available as a full
-service (i.e., Class A, B, and C) LLW disposal facility for waste generators located in States affiliated with the Texas Compact. Hence, B x values are not available (NA) for earlier versions of NUREG
-1307. (c) Effective with NUREG
-1307, Revision 16, the CWF in Andrews County, Texas, is also available as a full
-service (i.e., Class A, B, and C) LLW disposal facility for waste generators located in States not affiliated with the Texas Compact. Out-of-compact generators, however, must submit an import petition to the Texas Compact Commission for approval prior to shipping. The State of Texas also limits total non
-compact waste disposed at the CWF to 30
-percent of licensed capacity and imposes additional fees on LLW disposed of from out
-of-compact generators. With the availability of this full
-service disposal facility to out-of-compact waste generators and the Clive, Utah disposal facility for any Class A LLW generated in the U.S., the Generic LLW Disposal Site scenario used in previous versions of NUREG
-1307 is replaced with this scenario, which provides B x values representing a composite of the disposal rates for these two disposal facilities. These B x factors are recommended for use for plants that currently have no disposal site available within their designated LLW Compact. Accordingly, given this consideration , licensees may want to set aside additional decommissioning trust funds to avoid significant future shortfalls in funding and potential enforcement actions.
(d) Effective with NUREG
-1307, Revision 8 (Reference 3), an alternative disposal scenario was introduced in which the bulk of the LLW is assumed to be dispositioned by waste vendor s. Effective with NUREG
-1307, Revision 14, the bulk of the LLW is assumed to be dispositioned at the Clive, Utah disposal facility
. (e) Effective with NUREG-1307, Revision 1 5 , the nomenclature for the two disposal scenarios, referred to as "Direct Disposal" and "Direct Disposal with Vendors" in previous revisions of NUREG
-1307, was changed to "Compact
-Affiliated Disposal Facility Only" and "Combination of Compact
-Affiliated and Non
-Compact Disposal Facilities" to better describe these scenarios. (f) For plants using the "Compact
-Affiliated Disposal Facility Only" for the Texas site, the base waste volume charges, base radiology charges, and surcharges remain unchanged from 2016 to 2018. For further explanation see Section 3.4.
(*) The six columns highlighted with an asterisk reflect B x LLW burial cost escalation factor data used by the 96 operating power reactor licensees that utilized the minimum decommissioning fund formula in decommissioning trust fund status reports submitt ed to the NRC in 2017.
9 3 DEVELOPMENT OF COST ESCALATION FACTORS AND COST ADJUSTMENT FACTOR The minimum decommissioning fund requirement, or minimum formula amount, for radiological decommissioning of a nuclear power plant, was established using January 1986 dollars, and is defined in 10 CFR 50.75(c) as follows (where P is power level of the nuclear power reactor in megawatt-thermal (MWt))
1: For a PWR (10 CFR 50.75(c)(1)(i))
- Greater than or equal to 3400 MWt-------------$105 million Between 1200 MWt and 3400 MWt-------------$(75 + 0.0088P) million (For a PWR of less than 1200 MWt, use P=1200 MWt)
For a BWR (10 CFR 50.75(c)(1)(ii))
- Greater than or equal to 3400 MWt-------------.$135 million Between 1200 MWt and 3400 MWt-------------.$(104 + 0.009P) million (For a BWR of less than 1200 MWt, use P=1200 MWt)
The minimum formula amount represents an actual base
-year (1986) cost estimate to decommission a nuclear power plant. These 1986 costs are derived from studies finalized in the late 1970s and early 1980s (References 6 and 7), and adjusted to 1986 dollars through addendums to these PWR and BWR documented studies (References 1 and 2).
Present day minimum formula amounts rely on an adjustment factor that is applied to the initial cost estimate. In this way, the adjustment factor accounts for, or escalates, the initial formula amount to a dollar figure that incorporates inflation and other cost escalation factors.
In 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2), the adjustment factor is defined to be at least equal to 0.65L + 0.13E + 0.22B, where L and E are cost escalation factors for labor and energy, respectively, and values are to be taken from regional data of U.S. Department of Labor
, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and B is a cost escalation factor for waste burial and is to be taken from this report.
In summary, the adjustment factor incorporated in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2) provides a mechanism for escalating the decommissioning fund requirement (minimum formula amount) to current year dollars to reflect inflation and other changes in economic conditions since January 1986. This section summarizes how the coefficients (i.e., 0.65, 0.13, and 0.22) in the adjustment factor were originally developed and provides updated L, E, and B cost escalation factors for use in calculating the minimum decommissioning fund requirement in current year (2018) dollars.
1 The energy input in a heat engine is measured as MWt.
10 3.1 Development of the Cost Adjustment Factor For the purpose of adjusting the 1986 minimum decommissioning formula cost estimate into today's dollars, the NRC, working with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, determined that the total decommissioning cost could be divided into three principal components (major cost drivers) for cost escalation purposes. These components are:
(1) labor, materials, and services, (2) electric power and diesel or other fuels for transportation, and (3) radioactive waste burial/disposition. The major elements contributing to each of the se three components are provided in Table 3-1. The percent, or portion, of the total decommissioning cost, in January 1986 dollars, categorized as labor, materials, and services, is defined by the coefficient A. The percent, or portion, of the total decommissioning cost, in January 1986 dollars, categorized as energy and radioactive waste transportation, is defined by the coefficient B. The percent, or portion, of the total decommissioning cost, in January 1986 dollars, categorized as radioactive waste burial/disposition, is defined by the coefficient C.

Per Table 3
-1, the C (LLW burial associated) coefficient, or that percentage representing the portion of decommissioning cost attributable to LLW burial charges, are the same (.22) for both PWR s and BWRs. The A (labor associated) and B (energy associated) coefficients differ only slightly between the two reactor types. Consequently, due to the close similarity in these coefficients, and uncertainty contained within the labor and energy assessments used in developing the minimum formula, the formula in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2) was simplified. The 11 simplified formula is a composite of the two reactor types by averaging the A and B coefficients derived from the separate PWR and BWR estimates. Hence, the 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2) formula for determining the decommissioning cost of both PWR and BWR reactor types assume the same coefficients, as follows:
A averag e = 0.65 B averag e = 0.13 C averag e = 0.22 All costs categorized as labor, materials, and services are escalated from 1986 dollars to current year dollars by multiplying coefficient A (0.65) by a labor cost escalation factor L
- x. All costs categorized as energy and radioactive waste transportation are escalated from 1986 dollars to current year dollars by multiplying coefficient B (0.13) by an energy cost escalation factor E x. Values for L x and E x for years subsequent to 1986 are based on the national producer price indexes, national consumer price indexes, and local conditions for a given site, as described below in Sections 3.2 and 3.3, respectively. All costs categorized as radioactive waste burial/disposition are escalated from 1986 dollars to current year dollars by multiplying coefficient C (0.22) by a burial cost escalation factor B
- x. The values to be used in determining B x are derived from published cost schedules at the three compact-affiliated disposal facilities and a price quote from the non-compact disposal facility located in Utah, as described in Section 3.4. Note that values for B x for year 2016 and earlier, are provided in Table 2
-1 for information purposes only
- licensees will need only the 2018 figures for the minimum formula calculation required by March 31, 2019.
In summary, a simple equation was developed and incorporated into 10 CFR 50.75(c) to determine the minimum decommissioning fund requirement, or minimum formula amount, escalated to current year dollars. This equation is as follows:
Estimated cost (Year X)
= [1986 $ Cost]*(A*L x + B*E x + C*B x) where: Estimated cost (Year X)
= estimated decommissioning costs in Year X (e.g., 2018) dollars, [1986 $ Cost] = estimated decommissioning costs in 1986 dollars (base cost for PWR/BWR in 1986 dollars)
, A = percent or portion (also referred to as coefficient) of the [1986 $ Cost] attributable to labor, materials, and services (0.65), B = percent or portion (also referred to as coefficient) of the [1986 $ Cost] attributable to energy and radioactive waste transportation (0.13), C = percent or portion (also referred to as coefficient) of the [1986 $ Cost] attributable to radioactive waste burial/disposition (0.22), L x = labor, materials, and services cost escalation, January of 1986 to latest month of Year X for which PPI data are available, E x = energy (electricity and fuel oil) and waste transportation cost escalation, January of 1986 to latest month of Year X for which CPI data are available, 12 B x = Low-level waste (LLW) burial/disposition cost escalation, January of 1986 to the latest month of Year X for which data are available, = (R x + S x) / (R1986 + S1986), where: R x = radioactive waste burial/disposition costs (excluding surcharges) in Year X dollars, S x = summation of surcharges in Year X dollars, R1986 = radioactive waste burial costs (excluding surcharges) in 1986 dollars, and S1986 = summation of surcharges in 1986 dollars. 3.2 Labor Cos t Escalation Factors In additi on to costs categorized as labor, certai n materials and services are also assum ed to escalate at the same rate as l abor and therefore included in coefficient A. Examples o f these costs include container costs, certain equipment costs, insurance costs, and costs o f supplies and materials.
Table 3-1 provides additional examples. Current employment cost indexes for l abor (column 3,Tabl e 3-2 , below) can be obtai ned from the "Employment C ost Indexes," published by t he U.S. Department o f Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) (Reference 4). Specifically, t he appropriate regional da t a from Table 6 of Reference 4 entitl ed "Employment C ost I ndex for total compensation, for privat e industry workers, by bargaining status, census region and division, and metropolitan area status" should be used. These indexes ma y also be obtai ned from B LS databases available on the Internet (see Appendix C for instructions). In order t o calculate the current lab o r cost escalation factor (L x) for a particular region, it must be recognized that t he B LS "re-indexed" the Employment C ost I ndex (ECI) i n 2005, t o 100. Accordingly, two (2) B LS co st i ndex numbers a r e required t o calculate the current L x value: 1) the base l abor cost escalation factor in 2005 (provided below in Table 3-2), and 2) the current Employment Cost Index (ECI) from t he BLS. T he December 2 005 base labor cost escalation factors , by region, ar e present ed in column 2 of Tabl e 3-2 , and current ECIs , f or the sake of example, ar e present ed in column 3. The base labor cost escalation factor i s t he value of L x at the time the BLS most recently r e-indexed the ECI (December 2005). As such, current values o f L x (column 4) ar e obtained from t he simple proportion:
L x(current)/ECI (current) = Base L x(2005)/100 For example, to calculate L x with a 2005 base v al ue for t he Northeast region in first quarter 2018 , L x/1 33.7 = 2.16/100 13 L x = 2.16*133.7/100 = 2.89 Table 3-2 Regional Factors for Labor Cost Adjustment Region Base L x (Dec 2005) Qtr 1 2018 ECI (Dec 2005 = 100) L x (Qtr 1 2018) Northeast 2.16 133.7 2.89 South 1.98 130.4 2.58 Midwest 2.08 129.8 2.70 West 2.06 134.6 2.77 3.3 Energy Cost Escalation FactorsThe cost escalation factor for energy, E x, is a weighted average of the following components
- industrial electric power for onsite decommissioning, P x, and diesel or other fuels for transportation and heavy equipment operation , F x. For the reference PWR, E x is given by:
E x (PWR) = 0.58P x + 0.42F x and for the reference BWR E x is given by: E x (BWR) = 0.54P x + 0.46F x These equations are derived from Table 6
-3 of Reference 1 and Table 5
-3 of Reference 2. The 0.58 and 0.54 coefficients for P x are calculated as the ratio of energy cost to the total energy and fuel for transportation cost for the reference PWR and BWR, respectively. The 0.42 and 0.46 coefficients for F x are calculated as the ratio of fuel for transportation cost to the total energy and fuel for transportation cost for the reference PWR and BWR, respectively.
The current values of P x and F x are calculated from the Producer Price Indexes (PPI), available in the "PPI Detailed Report," published by the U.S. Department of Labor, BLS (Reference 5). These indexes also can be obtained from BLS databases available on the Internet (see Appendix C for instructions). Because the energy cost category is the cost of the electricity and fuel needed to provide essential systems and services to the plant during decommissioning, the indexes used to calculate P x should be taken from data for industrial electric power (PPI Commodity Code 0543). The transportation cost category is assumed to escalate with the cost of diesel fuel or light fuel oils. The indexes used to calculate F x should therefor e be taken from data for light fuel oils (PPI Commodity Code 0573). The BLS data available for these PPI commodity codes are currently available by region. P x and F x are the values of current producer price indexes (PPI Codes 0543 and 0573, respectively) divided by the corresponding indexes for January 1986. All PPI values are based on a value of 100 for the year 1982 (base 1982 = 100). Thus, the values of P x and F x for March 2018 (latest data available) are:
P x = 241.0 (March 2018 value of code 0543) 114.2 (January 1986 value of code 0543) = 2.110 14 F x = 214.0 (March 201 8 value of code 0573) 82.0 (January 1986 value of code 0573) = 2.610 The value of E x for the reference PWR is therefore E x (PWR) = [(0.58 x 2.110) + (0.42 x 2.610)] = 2.320. This value of E x = 2.320 should then be used in the equation to adjust the energy cost (to March 2018 dollars) for decommissioning a PWR.
For the reference BWR, E x (BWR) = [(0.54 x 2.110) + (0.46 x 2.610)] = 2.340. 3.4 Waste Burial Cost Escalation Factors The waste burial cost escalation factor s , B x , for the year 2018 are provided in Table 2-1 for each of the LLW disposal sites
. To calculate the B x for a particular LLW burial site , the cost of disposal of each of the radioactive materials identified in Table 3
-3 was first estimated using the year 2018 price schedules provided in Appendix A of this report for each of the LLW disposal facilities. The cost of disposal for each of the radioactive materials was calculated based on numerous factors, including its classification (e.g., Class A, B, and C), its weight and volume, the number of packages, the number of shipments, its activity, and its surface dose rate. These factors are reported in NUREG/CR-0130 and NUREG/CR
-0672 (References 6 and 7), and associated Addendums 3 and 2 (References 8 and 9), respectively. The estimated disposal cost was summed for all radioactive materials and then divided by the1986 disposal cost estimate identified in Table 3
-1 to develop the year 2018 B x factors reported in Table 2-1. A comparison of the year 2018 B x factors in Table 2
-1 to the corresponding year 2016 B x factors reported in Revision 16 of NUREG
-1307, shows that the values increased for both the Washington site and the South Carolina site. These changes were influenced by increases in the disposal price schedules provided by the operators of th ose disposal facilities (see Appendix A). Regarding changes to the disposal price schedules, the following summarizes the changes:
For the Washington disposal facility, the volume and shipment disposal rates, the dose rate charge per container, and charges per container increased while the annual site charges and environmental site surveillance fee did not change from year 2016.
For the South Carolina disposal facility, all of the charges and surcharges increased except for the Atlantic Compact Commission administrative surcharge, which remained unchanged.
For the Utah disposal facility, the disposal rates for both solid and liquid LLW increased.
15 For the Texas disposal facility, the base waste volume charges, base radioactivity charges, and surcharges remain unchanged. The current approved rate schedule for disposal of LLW at the Texas CWF has not changed from the 2016 reported values.

3.5 Sample
Calculations of Estimated Reactor Decommissioning Costs Four sample calculations are provided in this section to demonstrate the use of the decommissioning cost equation developed above using the appropriate cost escalation factors of L x for labor, material, and services; E x for energy and fuel for waste transportation; and B x for radioactive waste burial/disposition. The coefficients A, B, and C (0.65 coefficient for labor, 0.13 coefficient for energy, and 0.22 coefficient for LLW burial) used in the examples are developed in Table 3-1. Waste generators with no LLW compact disposal site availability should use the B x
16 values for the generic LLW disposal site scenario (i.e., the column in Table 2
-1 titled "B x Values for Generators Located in the Unaffiliated States and those Located in Compact
-Affiliated States having no Disposal Facility"). Sample decommissioning costs for other years are provided in Appendix D

A-1APPENDIX A LOW-LEVEL WASTE BURIAL/DISPOSITION PRICES FOR THE CURRENT YEAR This appendix contains the price schedules for burial/disposition of LLW at the Texas, Washington, and South Carolina sites for the year 2018. Also provided is a price quote for the non-compact disposal facility located in Utah. These schedules are used to calculate the burial/disposition costs discussed in Appendix B. A.1 Texas LLW Disposal SiteBeginning in the Spring of 2012, a new facility located in Texas became available for disposal of LLW from states within the Texas Compact (comprised of Texas and Vermont). The Texas facility, or Texas Compact Waste Facility (CWF), also accepts LLW from out
-of-compact generators. The fees for LLW disposal are determined by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Out
-of-compact generators, however, must submit an import petition to the Texas Compact Commission for approval prior to shipping. The state of Texas also limits total non-compact waste disposed at the CWF to 30
-percent of licensed capacity and charges additional fees for out
-of-compact LLW. The current approved rate schedule for disposal of LLW at the CWF is provided in Section 336.1310 (Subchapter N) of Title 30 of the Texas Administrative Code (TAC). This rate schedule is provided in Exhibit A
-1. The fees in this exhibit are the maximum disposal rates that can be charged to in
-compact generators. Fees charged to out
-of-compact generators must be greater than these rates. Various established Texas fees charged to out
-of-compact LLW currently amounts to an additional 31.25
-percent on top of the rates shown in Exhibit A
-1. In addition, it is assumed that an additional 20
-percent in fees/taxes is charged for out
-of-compact LLW. A.2 South Carolina LLW Disposal SiteAccess to the South Carolina site by waste generators outside the Southeast Compact ended June 30, 1994, with site closure scheduled for December 31, 1995. However, effective July 1, 1995, the scheduled closure was canceled and access to the South Carolina facility was extended to all states except North Carolina. In June 2000, prohibition on waste from North Carolina was lifted.
Effective November 1, 1996, the operator of the South Carolina disposal site implemented a restructured waste disposal rate schedule. The restructured pricing is based on weight, dose rate, and curies with a cost incentive toward higher density packaging. All business after November 1, 1996, is through customer
-specific contracts.
In the years between 2001 and 2008, the maximum allowable volume of LLW disposed of at the South Carolina LLW disposal site from all sources was governed by a schedule contained in the Atlantic Interstate Low
-Level Radioactive Waste Compact Implementation Act, which was enacted into law July 1, 2000. This schedule is shown in Table A-1.

Reference:
Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1976, Section 1, Title 48, Chapter 46.
Effective July 1, 2008, out
-of-compact waste was prohibited from disposal at the South Carolina disposal site.
Weight charges, curie surcharges, and irradiated hardware charges all increased approximately 7.5 percent from the 2016 Atlantic Compact rates, while dose rate and administrative surcharge remained constant. As a result of these changes, the cost to disposition the LLW from both a BWR and a PWR increased approximately 7.5 percent. The rate schedule for the South Carolina LLW disposal site, effective July 1, 2018, is presented in Exhibit A
-2. A.3 Washington LLW Disposal Site Beginning in 1993, the Northwest Compact imposed on eligible (Northwest or Rocky Mountain Compact) waste generators an annual permit fee based on the volume of waste to be shipped to the Washington site for disposal. For 2018, the permit fees range from $424 to $42,400. Hospitals, universities, research centers, and industries pay the lower fees; NPPs pay the highest fee of $42,400. Permit fees for NPPs are included in this analysis for the years 1993 and later.
Beginning in 1994, the rate schedule for handling and disposing of heavy objects (greater than 5,000 pounds) at the Washington site was revised to recover additional crane rental costs from the waste generator. In 1996, the heavy object limit was raised to 17,500 pounds. A series of shipments of heavy objects for disposal was assumed that would minimize the crane surcharge and result in a one
-time only heavy object charge.
Effective January 1, 1996, the operator of the Washington site implemented a restructured rate schedule based on waste volume, number of shipments, number of containers, and dose rate at the container surface. Each waste generator also is assessed an annual site availability charge based on cumulative volume and dose rate at the surface of all containers disposed
. The 2008 rate schedule reflects increases in volume (14 percent), shipment (22 percent), and container (17 percent) charges compared to 2006. In addition, dose rate charges per container increased by a factor of 2.8. As a result of these changes, the cost to disposition a PWR increased moderately to 21 percent. However, the cost to disposition a BWR, with its larger volume of high dose rate material, almost doubled.
A-3In 2010, two algorithm changes were implemented to project more accurately charges for waste generated from t he decommissioning o f an NPP. The first w as a discount to the volume disposal rate o f 20 percent for LL W generat ed from the decommissioni ng of NPPs. The second was t o ca p t he container dose rate charge. According to the settlement agreement between U.S. Ecology Washington, Inc., the operator o f t h e Washington disposal facility, and the State o f Washington, onl y 14.2 percent o f t he Washington site's revenue requirement (which changes annually) m ay be recoup ed from container dose rate charges.
Compared with the 2016 rate schedule used in Revision 16 of NUREG-1307 , t he 2018 schedule reflect s increases i n volume (33.5 percent) and shipment (8.4 percent), container (32.4 percent), and dose rate (67 percent) charges. As a result o f thes e rate changes, subject t o the limitations described i n the previous paragraph, the cost to disposition the LLW from a PW R increased by 25 percent and t he c ost to dispos ition th e LLW f rom a BW R increased b y 25 percent. The rate s chedule for t he Washingt on LLW di sposal site, e ffectiv e May 1, 2018 , i s presented i n Exhibit A-3. A.4 Non-compact Disposal FacilityIn t he 1990s rapidly increasing f ees for disposal o f low-level radioactive waste spawned the creation of a ni ch e market for firms specializing in the management and disposal of LL W. Increasingly, NPP licensees be g an to outsource LLW management functions t o waste vendors for a negotiat ed fee (usually $/pound of LL W processed) and disposing o f Class A LL W at t he non-compact disposal facility in Utah. Waste vendors could manage w ast e from generation to disposal (including packaging, transportation, and volume reduction) o r a ny subset o f these functions that the licensee desired.
The v endor determined the most efficient disposition process for each waste stream
. T hese take into consideration sorting into cl ean and contaminated streams, recycling where possible, volume reducti on through the m any techniques currently commercially available, and disposal o f the residual LLW at the m ost cost-effective disposal site; including the no n-compact disposal facility located in Utah. The vendor's profit w as the difference between the price negotiated with the licensee and t he total co st for waste minimization, recycling, volum e reduction, packaging, transportation, and disposal. T he more effective the vendor w as at minimization, recycling, volume reduction, and obtaining volume discounts for packaging, transportation, and disposal, t he greater its profit. The decommissioning analyses reported in NUREG/CR
-0130 and NUREG/CR
-0672 did not consider the possible use of waste vendors or n on-compact Class A , LL W disposal facilities, given that these market niches essentially di d not exist at t he time. Beginning with Revision 8, NUREG-1307 (Reference 3) i ncl uded a scenario that provi ded for contracting with waste vendors t o manage t he disposition bulk LL W generated during decommissioning. This new scenario di d not modify o r alter i n any w ay the bases for the decommissioni ng fund requirement specified in 10 CFR 50.75, "Reporting and Recordkeeping for Decommissioning Planning." It merely provided an alternative burial co st escalation factor (B x) that reflected the scenario of disposing o f LL W usin g a combination of waste vendors, non-compact disposal facilities, and compact-affiliated disposal facilities. In support o f t he analysis perform ed for NUREG-1307, Revision 8, several waste vendors were surveyed to develop a representative cost for waste vendor services. Each v endor w as as k ed to provide a generic price quot e for processing tw o waste streams:
activated and contaminated concrete and contaminated metal. Vendors were asked t o provide thes e quotes as a price per A-4pound of waste, o r as a range o f prices per pound , based on the waste concrete and metal inventories in NUREG/CR-0130 and NUREG/CR
-0672. The price quotes were to encompass complete disposition of these waste streams (from generati on to disposal) and t o be developed assuming the vendor had a contract with a licensee engaged in a large decommissioning project. Based on t he results o f the survey, NUREG-1307, Revision 8, introduced an alternative burial cost escalation factor (B x) that assu m ed the use o f waste vendor services and disposal o f Class A LLW a t t he non-compact disposal facility located in Utah as an alternative to disposal o f al l decommissioning LLW at a comp act-a ffiliated disposal facility. T he scenario was introduced to provide potential s av ings from t he us e of waste vendor
- s. For a PWR unde r this scenario ,
9 8percent of t he w as te was as sum ed to be di spos itioned by w aste vendor s and the r emaining 2-p ercent wa s as sumed t o be disposed of a t a c ompact-a ffiliated disposal facility. For a BWR under t his scenario , 9 6-p ercent of t he w aste was as sumed t o be dispos itioned by w aste v endor s a nd the r emaining 4-p ercent was as sum ed to be d ispos ed of at a compact-a ffiliated dis posal facility. These proportions w ere determi ned from a component-b y-c omponent anal y sis o f the reference BWR and PWR. The portions o f w ast e ass umed t o be dispositioned by w ast e vendors were priced at t he r ates obtai ned from t he vendor s urveys, and the portions o f w as te assumed to be di sposed of a t compact-a ffiliated dis posal facilities w ere priced at r ates obt ai ned for those facilities.
I n support o f Revision 1 7 o f NURE G-1307 , a similar survey was conducted. I n response t o this survey, a price quote t o disposition t he components o f t he reference PWR and BWR at t he Utah disposal facility w as obtained. Unit costs, exclusive of taxes, were provi ded for several different categories o f components, which are provided in Tabl e A-2. Th e updated rates represent an average increase of 5 percent , with the excepti on of evaporator bottoms which increased by approximately 8 percent, compared to the 2016 rates. These rates assume no volume discounts, which can be substantial.
The development o f t he B x factor for the "Combination of Compact-Affiliated and Non-Compact Disposal Facilities" scenario and t he "Non-Compact Disposal Facilities" scenario was bas ed on these rates and assumed a 10 percent tax.

Uniform Schedule of Maximum Disposal Rates for Atlantic Compact Regional Waste EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2018 The Uniform Schedule of Maximum Disposal Rates for Atlantic Compact Regional Waste is a permanent ceiling on disposal rates applicable to Atlantic Compact waste that is adjusted each year in accordance with the Producer Price Index. South Carolina may charge Atlantic Compact generators less than the Uniform Maximum Schedule, but cannot charge regional generators more than this rate.
THE MINIMUM CHARGE PER SHIPMENT, EXCLUDING SURCHARGES AND SPECIFIC OTHER CHARGES, IS $1,000.00 1. WEIGHT CHARGES (not including surcharges)
A. Base weight charge Density Range Weight Rate i) Equal to or greater than 120 lbs./ft 3 $8.169 per pound ii) Equal to or greater than 75 lbs./ft 3 and less than 120 lbs./ft 3 $8.986 per pound iii) Equal to or greater than 60 lbs./ft 3 and less than 75 lbs./ft 3 $11.028 per pound iv) Equal to or greater than 45 lbs./ft 3 and less than 60 lbs./ft 3 $14.298 per pound v) Less than 45 lbs./ft 3 $14.298 per pound multiplied by: (45 ÷ pounds per cubic foot of the package)

B. Irradiated hardware charges
$92,845 per shipment (See Note B under Miscellaneous)
C. Special nuclear material surcharge
$18.564 per gram D. Atlantic Compact Commission administrative surcharge $6.00 per cubic foot (Subject to change during year)
A-9 Exhibit A-2 NOTES A. Surcharges for the Barnwell Extended Care Fund and the Decommissioning Trust Fund are included in the rates.
B. Irradiated hardware: As a general rule, billing as irradiated hardware pertains to shipments of exceptionally high activity that require clearing of the site and special off
-loading into a slit trench. These generally include TN
-RAM 1 and other horizontally offloaded cask shipments. In addition to items of irradiated hardware, shipments considered irradiated hardware, for purposes of disposal, have included certain sealed sources and materials with exceptionally high levels of radioactivity.
C. Large components (e.g., steam generators, reactor pressure vessels, coolant pumps).
Disposal fees for large components (e.g., steam generators, reactor pressure vessels, reactor coolant pumps, or items that will not fit into standard sized disposal vaults) are based on the generally applicable rates, in their entirety, except that the weight and volume used to determine density and weight related charges is calculated as follows:
- 1. For packages where the large component shell qualifies as the disposal vault per Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) regulations, weight and volume calculations are based on all sub
-components and material contained within the inside surface of the large component shell, including all internals and any stabilization media injected by the shipper, but excluding the shell itself and all incidental external attachments required for shipping and handling; and
- 2. For packages with a separate shipping container that qualifies as the disposal vault per DHEC regulations, weight and volume calculations are based on the large component, all sub-components, and material contained within the inside surface of the shipping container, including any stabilization media injected by the shipper (including that between the large component and the shipping container), but excluding the shipping container itself and all incidental external attachments required for shipping and handling.
D. Co-mingled shipments from brokers and processors: For containers that include waste from different generators (DHEC permittees), the weight and density of the waste from each generator will be assessed separately for purposes of the weight charge in I.A. The dose of the container as a whole will be used to assess the dose multiplier in I.B. The millicurie charge 2.A. above
, applies individually to each portion of waste in the shipment from each generator. The disposal site operator will provide guidelines for application of this method.
E. Transport vehicles with additional shielding features may be subject to an additional handling fee, which will be provided upon request.
F. In certain circumstances, the disposal site operator may assess additional charges for necessary services that are not part of and are additional to disposal rates established by the State of South

G. The disposal site operator has established the following policies and procedures, which are provided herein for informational purposes:
- i. Terms of payment are net 30 days upon presentation of invoices. A per-month service charge of one and one
-half percent (1.5 percent) shall be levied on accounts not paid within thirty (30) days. ii. Company purchase orders or a written letter of authorization and substance acceptable to Chem-Nuclear Systems, L.L.C. (CNS) shall be received before receipt of radioactive waste material at the Barnwell Site and shall refer to CNS Radioactive Material License, the Barnwell Site Disposal Criteria, and subsequent changes thereto.
iii. All shipments shall receive a CNS shipment identification number and conform to the Prior Notification Plan.

B-1 APPENDIX B CALCULATION OF LOW-LEVEL WASTE BURIAL/DISPOSITION COST ESCALATION FACTORS The calculations necessary to determine the costs for burial/disposition of radioactive wastes resulti ng from decommissioning the reference PWR and the reference BWR are performed using spreadsheet models. The spreadsheets evaluate the burial/disposition costs for each of the items originally budgeted in the PWR and BWR decommissioning studies and in Addendums 4 and 3 (Reference s 1 and 2), respectively, to those reports. The costs are based on the published price schedules from the compact
-affiliated disposal facilities and a price quote from the non-compact disposal facility located in Utah.
The B x values reported in this document reflect the updated rate schedules and price quote. All the calculations are based on the same inventory of radioactive wastes as was postulated in the 1986 and 1978-19 80 analyses. Starting in 1988, the inventories also included post-Three Mile Island (TMI)-2 contributions from the reference PWR and the reference BWR (References 1 and 2). B.1 Generators Located in States Not Affiliated with a Compact having a Disposal Facility Both the Utah and Texas disposal facilities are available for the disposal of all LLW regardless of whether a generator has a compact
-affiliated disposal facility available for disposal of their LLW or not. The Utah facility can only dispose of Class A LLW, while the Texas facility is a full
-service disposal facility and so can dispose of Class A, B, and C LLW (subject to the constraints described in Section A.3). For the year 2018 , B x = 12.853 and 13.422 for a PWR and BWR, respectively, for disposal of most Class A LLW at the Utah non
-compact site, and for the remainder of LLW at the Texas LLW disposal site. The B x values include the additional fees imposed for the disposal of non
-compact LLW at the Texas disposal facility. The B x values are summarized in Table 2-1. These B x values should be used by generators located in States not affiliated with a compact having a disposal facility.
Waste burial costs for the year 2018 were developed using both the rate schedules for the Texas disposal facility provided in Exhibit A
-1, and the associated additional fees for out
-of-compact waste, and the price quote for the non
-compact disposal facility provided in Table A-2. The spreadsheet calculations for the current year, which are too voluminous to present here, are summarized in Table B
-1 and Table B
-2 for PWR and BWR plants, respectively. For comparison purposes, Table B-3 and Table B-4 provide summaries of waste burial/disposition costs for 2016, respectively, for both PWR and BWR plants. These estimates were originally reported in Revision 16 of NUREG-1307. B.2 Texas LLW Disposal Site For the year 2018 , B x = 8.508 and 8.293 for a PWR and BWR, respectively, at the Texas disposal facility. These B x values reflect the adjustment in waste burial costs at the Texas LLW disposal site normalized to the 1986 Washington LLW disposal site burial costs
. Waste burial costs for the year 2018 were developed using the rate schedules provided in Exhibit A-1. The spreadsheet calculations for the current year, which are too voluminous to present here, are summarized in Table B
-5 and Table B-6 for PWR and BWR plants, B-2 respectively. For comparison purposes, Table B-7 and Table B-8 provide summaries of the waste burial costs at the Texas LLW disposal site for 2016, respectively, for both PWR plants and BWR plants. These estimates originally were reported in Revision 16 of NUREG-1307. The waste burial costs at the Texas disposal facility have not changed from the 2016 costs reported in Revision 16 of NUREG
-1307. B.3 South Carolina LLW Disposal Site For the year 2018 , B x = 32.329 and 28.314 for a PWR and BWR, respectively, at the South Carolina disposal facility. These B x values reflect the adjustment in waste burial costs at the South Carolina LLW disposal site normalized to the 1986 Washington LLW disposal site burial costs. B x values for several previous revisions of NUREG
-1307 are summarized in Table 2-1. Waste burial costs for the year 2018 were developed using the rate schedules provided in Exhibit A-2. The spreadsheet calculations for the current year, which are too voluminous to present here, are summarized in Table B
-9 and Table B-10 for PWR and BWR plants, respectively. For comparison purposes, Table B-11 and Table B-12 provide summaries of the waste burial costs at the South Carolina LLW disposal site for 2016, respectively, for both PWR plants and BWR plants. These estimates originally were reported in Revision 16 of NUREG-1307. B.4 Washington LLW Disposal Site The LLW disposal site located in Washington was used to develop the original decommissioning cost estimates for the reference PWR and BWR. These estimates are the basis for the minimum decommissioning fund requirement specified in 10 CFR 50.75(c), which is in 1986 dollars. Thus, B x = 1.0/1.0 (for PWR/BWR) for 1986.
For the year 2018 , B x = 10.854 and 9.118 for a PWR and BWR, respectively, at the Washington disposal facility. These B x values reflect the adjustment in waste burial costs at the Washington LLW disposal site since 1986
. B x values for several previous revisions of NUREG
-1307 are summarized in Table 2-1. Waste burial costs for the year 2018 were developed using the rate schedule provided in Exhibit A-1. The spreadsheet calculations for the current year, which are too voluminous to present here, are summarized in Table B-13 and Table B-14 for PWR and BWR plants, respectively. For comparison purposes, Table B-15 and B-16 provide summaries of the waste burial costs at the Washington LLW disposal site for 2 016 , respectively, for both PWR plants and BWR plants. These estimates originally were reported in Revision 16 of NUREG-1307. B.5 Combination of Non
-Compact and Compact-Affiliated Disposal Facilities For the year 2018 , B x = 8.697 and 7.186 for a PWR and BWR, respectively, for disposal of most Class A LLW at the Utah non-compact disposal site , and for the remainder of LLW at the Washington LLW disposal site. B x = 11.607 and 12.872 for a PWR and BWR, respectively, for disposal of most Class A LLW at the Utah non-compact disposal site , and for the remainder of LLW at the South Carolina disposal site. B x = 11.054 and 10.731 for a PWR and BWR, respectively, for disposal of most Class A LLW at the Utah non
-compact site
, and for the remainder of LLW at the Texas LLW disposal site. B x values are summarized in Table 2-1.
B-3 Waste burial costs for the year 2018 were developed using both the rate schedules f or the compact-affiliated disposal facilities provided in Exhibits A
-1 , A-2, and A-3 and for the price quote f or the non-compact disposal facility provided in Table A-2. The spreadsheet calculations for the current year, which are too voluminous to present here, are summarized in Table B-17 through Table B-22 for the Washington
, South Carolina, and Texa s LLW disposal sites, respectively, for both PWR and BWR plants. For comparison purposes, Table B-23 through Table B-28 provide summaries of the Washington
, South Carolina, and Texas waste burial/disposition costs for 2016 , respectively, for both PWR and BWR plants. These estimates were originally reported in Revision 16 of NUREG-1307. B.6 Other As other low
-level radioactive waste burial sites come into service in the interstate compacts, values for B x will be calculated using the price schedules for each of those sites and will be incorporated into subsequent issues of this NUREG. Those materials whose activity concentrations exceed the limits for Class C LLW are identified by footnote as greater-than-Class C (GTCC) material. Because the analyses in this NUREG postulate placing this material in a LLW disposal facility, the disposal costs for this material may be significantly overestimated compared with high
-density packaging and geologic repository disposal. It may also be feasible to store GTCC waste in independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs) or other interim storage facilities, as permitted by 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."
