SUBJECT:

RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING FINANCIAL QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE RINSC REACTOR LICENSE RENEWAL (TAC NO.ME1598)Mr.Boyle, Attached is the response the request for additional information (RAI)regarding financial qualification for the Rhode Island Nuclear SCience Center (RINSC)reactor license renewal dated August 15, 2013.The response includes several enclosures. contains our responses to the RAls from letter dated August 15, 2013.Enclosure 2 contains the FY13 budget documents for the RINSC.Enclosures 3 through 5 containthespreadsheets for determining the decommissioning costs for the RINSC.Enclosure 6 is the SOl letter from the Chairman of the Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission (RIAEC).Enclosure 7 is the appointment letter from the Governor of Rhode Island to the Chairman of the RIAEC.Respectfully, Cameron Goodwin, PhD, Director Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center I certify under penalty of perjury that the representations made above are true and correct.Executed on: q!tte!t3*By:* 1 1. The NRC staff will analyze the financial statements for the current year, which are required by 10 CFR 50.71(b), to determine if the applicant is financially qualified to are out of date, please provide a copy of the latest financial statements for the NRC review. Please see Enclosure 1 for the budget documents for the FY2013 budget. 2. estimates for total annual operating costs for each of the first five years of operations of formation included in the application is now out of date, please provide the following additional information: (a) Projected operating costs of the RINSC for each of the fiscal years (FY) 2015 thru FY 2019 (the first five year period after the projected license renewal). Below are the projected operating costs for the five years following relicensing. Fiscal Year Total Expenditures General Revenue Other 2015 $1,689,034 $995,080 $693,954 2016 $1,739,705 $1,024,932 $714,773 2017 $1,791,896 $1,055,680 $736,216 2018 $1,845,652 $1,087,350 $758,302 2019 $1,901,021 $1,119,970 $781,051 (b) the afore-mentioned FYs will be funding by an annual appropriation from the State of Rhode Islan annual appropriation from the Rhode Island Legislature. Other sources of revenue include federal grants and payments from the University of Rhode Island for radiation safety services. The latter is used primarily to cover personnel costs under an historical agreement with the University of Rhode Island. Personnel costs account for approximately 85% of the total expenditures. All other sources of revenue are sent to the Rhode Island General Fund and returned to the RINSC as needed. 3. The January 19, 2010, and July 15, 2011, supplements to the application references a decommissioning cost estimate for the RINSC of $16.8 million (2010 dollars). NRC -power reactor applicant for or holder of an operating license for a production or utilization facility shall submit a 10 CFR 50.75(d)(2) the facility; (ii) Indicate which method or methods described in paragraph (e) of this section as acceptable to the NRC will be used to provide funds for decommissioning; and (iii) Provide a description of the means of adjusting the cost estimate and associated level periodically over the life of 2 Since the NRC staff needs the following additional information to complete its review of the RINSC application, please update the application by providing the following: (a) A current decommissioning cost estimate in 2015 dollars for the RINSC to meet the unrestricted use, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(d)(2). Accordingly, describe the basis for how the cost estimate was developed, showing costs, in current dollars, specifically broken down into the categories of labor, waste disposal, other items (eg., energy, equipment, and supplies), and a 25 percent contingency factor. Please see the attached spreadsheets (enclosures 2, 3, and 4). To respond to this question, we assumed that we would only remove the reactor itself leaving the building intact for possible other radioactive materials uses. We didn't include the costs of removing anything associated with the reactor that wasn't either contaminated or activated. Thus, for example, you won't find any estimated costs for removing the dump heat exchangers. We have enclosed worksheets showing the cost estimate and labor rates (Enclosures 2 and 3 respectively) for the base case scenario. Craft hours are only for removal and packaging. No transportation costs are included. Labor rates are estimates based on Rhode Island Department of Labor and "Rent-a-tech" rates. The methodology and numbers for the labor averages used are included in Enclosure 3. As shown in the attached worksheet, the computed cost less management and operations fees is $8.2M; the process would span between 2 and 4 years during which staffing is expected to remain at levels mandated by our license. To obtain an estimate of the costs of the decommissioning as envisioned with initial deconstruction, removal of present A wastes and subsequent removal of class B & C wastes when they decay to A class wastes, we began with the base case analysis and computed all costs out over 20 years, i.e. the time span of the pending relicense. This analysis is shown in Enclosure 4. Under a safe store scenario, one would incur disposal costs for B and C wastes as A wastes assumed to be an average of 20 years out. The results are shown in Enclosure 4. We have included a 5% per year inflationary rise in all decommissioning related costs, for the projected twenty years before we undertake final disposition. We noted that since 2001, the average consumer price index (CPI) has averaged about 2.85% but believe that an inflationary rate of 5% would more accurately reflect the costs associated with this type of project. In order to put all future costs in 2015 dollars, we show present values of total costs using discount rates of 2.85% (the recent~historical CPI) and 0% (no discounting). Note that staffing for management, monitoring and maintenance of required equipment is included. We estimated this residual (post initial deconstruction) staffing would be between 20% and 30% of the present staffing of the Center. A figure of 25% was used beginning in year 4 and continuing through year 20. The results give present values of $15.9M and $18.1M for discount rates of 2.85% and 0% (no discounting) respectively. The last elements in this summary include contingency factors 25%, 31.5% and 60%. The latter, which is the highest contingency we have noted in the experience of other reactors. The 25%-factor is the one you have asked us to use. 3 Our best estimate for the present value of costs associated with a decommissioning scenario, involving initial deconstruction and disposal of A class wastes, Safe Store of B and - class wastes for the duration of the license and disposal of final wastes at the end of that period, is $21M in 2015 dollars. This includes a contingency factor of 31.5%, decommissioning related costs escalating at 5% and the use of a discount rate of 2.85%. The recent decommissioning contingency amount included in our annual budget is $30M; this allows for the extremes of the calculations shown plus a cushion for returning the site to readiness for another use. It should be noted that the facility is built on a former gun mount, which would require significant demolition work to return, to remove. (b) State the decommissioning method to be used. If SAFSTOR is still the proposed method, please so state. According to 10 CFR 50.82, two general approaches to decommissioning are acceptable. One approach is to start decommissioning activities soon after operations cease and proceed toward terminating the license and releasing the facility. The other approach is to perform limited decommissioning activities soon after operations cease to prepare the facility for safe storage and maintain safe conditions until we can remove the remaining radioactivity. We chose the latter and planned accordingly. We will remove the fuel from the core as soon as possible after reactor operations permanently cease and ship the fuel off site in accordance with Department of Energy, Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Department of Transportation regulations. We will hire a contractor to dismantle the remaining non-fuel components of the reactor, characterize their radioactivity levels and prepare them for either safe storage or shipment since many of them are anticipated to be Class B and C radioactive wastes for which Rhode Island has no viable disposal option at this time. We will ship those non-fuel components that characterization shows meet Class A radioactive waste criteria to a licensed processor for subsequent disposal. We used processing and disposal rates quoted by a broker for Class A radioactive wastes in our cost estimate. We will store the remaining radioactive wastes until they can be safely and legally shipped for disposal. For costing purposes, we assumed that disposal of Class B and C radioactive wastes became available before decommissioning and estimated their cost based on current Barnwell rates. We will survey those areas of the facility that have been cleared of reactor components and, if Nuclear Regulatory Commission release criteria are met, release them for other uses. (c) A description of the means of adjusting the cost estimate and associated funding level periodically over the life of the facility, to comply with 10 CFR 50.75(d)(2)(iii). Also, please provide a detailed numerical example showing how the 2015 cost estimate will be adjusted periodically in the future. 4 The cost estimator will be increased by 3% for each year after 2015 to adjust for inflation. This estimate exceeds the average consumer price index (CPI) average of about 2.85% 4. The application includes a statement of intent (SOI) as the chosen method to provide decommissioning funding assurance for the RINSC reactor. If the applicant intends to use a SOI as the method to provide decommissioning funding assurance, as provided Federal, State, or local gov must state that it is a State government organization and that the decommissioning funding obligations of the applicant are backed by the State government, and also provide corroborating documentation. Further, the applicant must provide documentation verifying that the signatory of the SOI is authorized to execute said document that binds the RIAEC. This document may be a governing body resolution, management directives, or other form that provides an equivalent level of assurance. As the application does not include all of the above information, please submit the following: (a) An updated SOI which includes the current (2015 dollars) cost estimate for decommissioning; a statement that funds for decommissioning will be obtained when affirmation attesting to the information. Please see the attached letter from the Chairman of the RIAEC (enclosure 5). (b) Documentation that corroborates the statement in the application that RIAEC is a State agency and a State of Rhode Island government licensee under 10 CFR 50.75(e)(2)(iv). Title 42, Chapter 27, Section 1 creates the RIAEC. This state law can be seen below. Commission created Appointment of members. (a) There is hereby created a special commission affiliated with the board of governors for higher education to be known as the Rhode Island atomic energy commission, consisting of five (5) members to be appointed by the governor, one of whom shall be designated by the governor as chairperson. (b) During the month of March in each year, the governor shall appoint a member to succeed the member whose term will then next expire to serve for a term of five (5) years and until his or her successor shall be appointed and qualified, except that a member appointed to fill a vacancy shall serve only for the unexpired term. Any member shall be eligible to succeed him or herself. (c) A statement as to whether the decommissioning funding obligations for the RIAEC are backed by the State of Rhode Island government. The application must also present documentation that corroborates this statement. For example, the documentation may be a copy of or complete citation to a state statute that expressly provides that the obligations, or at least the decommissioning funding obligations, of the applicant are backed or supported by the full faith and credit of the State of citations to statutes, regulations, and/or case law that the obligations, or at least those with 5 respect to the decommissioning funding of the applicant are obligations backed or supported by the full faith and credit of the State of Rhode Island. This is stated in sections 4 and 5 of Title 42, Chapter 27 of the Rhode Island State Law and is presented below. 42-27-4 Appropriations and disbursements. The general assembly shall annually appropriate, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, a sum sufficient to carry out the purposes of this chapter; and the state controller is hereby authorized and directed to draw his or her orders upon the general treasurer for the payment of that sum, or so much thereof as may be required from time to time, upon the receipt by him or her of properly authenticated vouchers. 42-27-5 The governor authorized to enter into an agreement with federal authorities.

Dear Governor Chafee:

This letter transmits the Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission (RIAEC)FY 201112012 Budget Request.The Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center is currently in license renewal with the U.S.Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)for the center's nuclear reactor.As part of this process, we were required to provide financial assurance that we have adequate financial resources to operate the facility safely during the renewal period and that we have adequate resources to decommission the reactor when needed.The attached budget provides the RlAEC's good faith effort to submit the most cost effective budget consistent with maintaining a safe operational environment. Any further cuts will jeopardize the safe operation of the facility and invalidate our response to the NRC regarding operational fun\ling.Failure to renew the license will require significant funds to undertake the decommi$sioning process.If you need further information or have any questions please call me at 4';1-789-9391. smclfJ'y TABLE OF CONTENTS NARRATIVE INFORMATION Agency Description Page 1 Organization Chart Page 7 AGENCY

In this capacity, he serves as the Governor's Representative to the National Low Level Waste Forum.The facility continues a process of improving security and upgrading reactor equipment financed through Department of Energy (DOE)Grants.In 1993, the reactor was converted to a new low enriched uranium fuel system that has greatly reduced security requirements and associated costs while providing a significant improvement in perforrnance. Since then, the RINSC has upgraded the reactor control systems using industrial automation software and hardware.The rod control system was replaced with controllers, encoders and new stepper motors.The project increased the reliability of the control system and removed older controls, meters and chart recorders. RINSC is currently in the process of license renewal with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to extend the facility license for an additional twenty years.Subsequent to this approval, the staff will be working on a power upgrade requestto permit operation at the design power level of five megawatts, which will make RINSC one of the top three University research reactors based on reactor power.The RINSC and University of Rhode Island received a grant in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)and other universities for GNEP activities. Part of this DOE grant provided funds to the URI to start a Minor in Nuclear Engineering. As part of this effort, the RINSC converted available space into a classroom and a multiple station counting lab.The URI also teaches a Nuclear Detection and Measurement course at the RINSC.The RINSC purchased six single channel analyzers for the laboratory experiments associated with the course.The monies for this equipment came from the DOE sponsored INIE program.The Providence College Physics and Chemistry departments Page 1 <:, BR-10 Narrative Information Agency: Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission (RIAEC)Program: Operation of the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center Revised 8-16-11 also make use of this new laboratory equipment in their undergraduate physics and chemistry courses.URI has subsequently received another DOE grant for$250,000 that will be used to equip another laboratory at RINSC.Seniors in the URI College of Engineering have been developing new capabilities at RINSC as part of their senior design project.They have designed and built an automatic sample changer, a fuel handling device and are currently building a new remote station for the sample irradiation (rabbit)system.This project has been submitted to American Nuclear Society's annual student engineering contest.Several URI students are enrolled in the center's intern program and are working on reactor operator qualification. One recent intern was just hired by the NRC as a security specialist. The use of grant monies has resulted in the addition of upgraded mechanical and electronic equipment necessary to substantially increase reactor capability. The improvements permit the RINSC to provide the neutron flux to do meaningful research in neutron scattering science.The RINSC and University of Rhode Island have upgraded the large angle neutron diffractometer with new computer controls from Brookhaven National Lab and data acquisition with monies from the Department of Energy, Innovations in Nuclear Education and Infrastructure (INIE)Grant.RINSChas recently been awarded an additional DOE, National Energy Research Institute (NERI)Grant that will allow significant improvements to our neutron scattering science capability. The custom electronics and computer system built by Oak Ridge National Lab for a second diffractometer will allow RINSC to complete with the National Labs and other universities for neutron science research initiatives like the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP).The Center's state-of-the-art analytical laboratories and equipment are used for several environmental monitoring programs sponsored by the Department of Environmental Management, the Narragansett Bay Commission, the National Science Foundation, NOAA and other agencies.The RINSC provides neutron activation analysis.Neutronactivationanalysis is a nondestructive analytical tool supporting research in fields ranging from archeology to zoology: Dr.Jennifer Perry of the Pomona College, Anthropology Department collaborated with the URI, Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO)to use this tool to characterize prehistoric stone samples.A graduate student from the GSO Narragansett Bay Campus participated in this new application using neutron activation analysis to categorize prehistoric stone tools producing a well-received research paper on the origins of those stone samples and their implications of early trading activities. Dr.Alex Pszenny conducted a major study of pollution outflow, which has expanded from only the Northeast United States to the West Coast and Cape Verde off the African Coast under the multi-agency CHAOS Program.This study Page 2 BR-10 Narrative Information Agency: Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission (RIAEC)Program: of the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center Revised 8-16-11 uses the reactor to analyze samples for Bromine and Iodine as a means of determining Ozone depletion and its effect on pollution values.The neutron activation process for trace metal analysis has been shown as a viable method to further improve the pollution model and funding has been requested to continue this type of analysis.This project resulted in a significant increase in reactor operation and will continue to require increased reactor utilization. A URI Team, led by Dr.Steve D'Hondt at GSa is investigating the extent of life in deep oceanic sediments. Dr.Bruno Soffiento, a postdoctoral researcher at GSa along with RINSC personnel developed a tritium-based method for measuring the activity of enzyme hydogenase in sediments. This effort was funded by NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI)to study the origin of life.Efforts are underway to measure samples from beneath the Polar Ice Cap.The RINSe provides space and support for certain commercial activities. A new building for the production of sensors'for weapons of mass destruction has been completed and is being utilized by SubChem Systems to do cutting edge research in underwater sensor development. This company has several grants from economic development agencies and utilizes several URI students in the research efforts.BioPAL, Incorporated makes extensive use of the reactor conducting analyses of medical samples for a variety of treatment and research purposes including the area of stem cell research.They have pioneered the use of neutron activation analysis (NAA)to provide an alternative technique for in vivo cell tracking and quantifying studies.BioPal uses non-radioactive microspheres for measuring regional blood flow, gastrointestinal motility, particle handling by the pulmonary system, health of the liver and injected protein distribution. Nano-materials can be used to label and track stem cells.The microspheres have up to six different labels that can be examined post experiment using NAA to identify the labels.No other technology can provide quantitative cell labeling in such a simple and non-intrusive manner.The RINSC is working with the State Building Codes Commission on the design of a 650 square foot addition to the facility.The purpose of the addition is to increase the available classroom, laboratory and office space.This effort continues the Center's support of the URI's Minor in Nuclear Engineering. The RINSC is looking for outside funding for assistance with this bUilding addition.RINse has completed an educational license agreement with IndoSoft Ltd.RINSC will be able to use IndoSoft software to provide remote classroomtraining.RINSC and URI's work with neutron scattering science is being made available to the URI Physics Students on the main campus through this program.Remote training will also be made available to Providence College and Brown University providing remote laboratory training for Neutron Activation Analysis.Page 3 BR-10 Narrative Information Agency: Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission (RIAEC)Program: Operation of the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center STATUTORY HISTORY: Revised 9-16-10 The Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission was established in 1958 by Title 42, Chapter 27 of Rhode Island General Laws for the purpose of advising the governor and general assembly on matters relating to atomic energy and to construct and operate a nuclear reactor in the state.PROPOSED BUDGET YEAR OPERATIONS: The current level of operations and maintenance of the facility include: 1.Operation of the reactor and associated research facilities to support projects in the areas of neutron activation analysis, neutron scattering and neutron damage studies, medical isotope development, commercial initiatives and student training and education 2.Efforts to meet new security requirements following the events of 9/11.3.Operation of the URI Radiation Safety Program.4.Tours and briefings for educational institutions and other interested individuals and groups throughout the state.5.Technical and administrative support for the low level radioactive waste program and coordination with other state and federal agencies in the areas of nuclear technology. 6.Reactor Control System upgrade involving industrial automation hardware and software.The current initiatives of the facility include: 1.Upgrading of two beam instruments to support educational and research 2.Increasing the classroom and laboratory space and equipment.* Support of URI efforts to provide a Nuclear Engineering Minor.3.Licenserenewalwith the NRC followed by power upgrade request 4.Completion of security upgrade projects required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 5.Continued participation with State and Federal agencies to identify the most cost-effective method of ensuring safe disposal of low level radioactive waste generated by hospitals and universities throughout the state and Page 4 BR-10 Narrative Information Agency: Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission (RIAEC)Program: Operation of the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center Revised 8-16-11 technical input to State agencies regarding current problems with the disposition of high-level nuclear waste in adjoining states.6.Continuation of educational programs funded from the Department of Energy Grants and submission of new grants for graduate student aid under the Nuclear Engineering Education Research Grant Program 7.Efforts to increase the scope of commercial work will continue in the area of isotope production andpharmaceutical production LONG-TERM TRENDS: There is a significant increase in public support for nuclear power in the United States as a clean and reliable energy source.Increased federal loan guarantees for new reactor construction has resulted in a serious shortage of trained nuclear engineers. The Department of Energy is addressing this need by increasing support of university nuclear education programs.RINSC and URI are developing programs to train students in this import field.Increased funding from DOE and increased interest form URI engineering students is supporting these efforts.The new methods for medical and biological diagnostics developed by BioPAL, Incorporated have significant commercial potential. The response to their products has been very positive on an international scope.They have invested a significant amount of money in advanced analytical equipment that has enabled them to meet the steady growth in demand.The significant capabilities ofaresearch reactor in the area of activation analysis have been the other reason that they have been able to grow so rapidly.Continuing efforts to upgrade equipment will ensure the safe and reliable operation of the reactor for many years.The Center for Atmospheric Chemistry Studies building (CACS)that is located adjacent to RINSC provides much additional laboratory and office space for faculty and students that utilize the reactor for research.The combination of a modern reactor facility and the CACS building provides the support necessary for a world-class environmental research program.The most disturbing long-term trend is the lack of staff to support new initiatives. Previous budget and staff cuts combined with retirements and loss of experienced operators to higher paying industry jobs has made it difficult to handle the significant increase in research work and commercial activities. The staff has continued to function because of the significant experience level and technical expertise of the remaining personnel. However, the extremely small staff and significant maintenance, administrative and watch standing demands associated with daily reactor operation limit the amount of additional new work that can be undertaken. Subsequent to the events of 9/11, the staff has been required to spend much time meeting new federal requirements in the area of security from terrorist attacks.Page 5 BR-10 Narrative Information Agency: Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission (RIAEC)Program: Operation of the Rhode Island Nuclear Science Center Revised 8-16-11 There is currently no funding in the budget to support startup costs associated with commercial projects.Staff cuts made in the last few years has made it impossible to run the reactor more than one shift a day.A longer operational time is required to economicallyprovideneutrons for potential new commercial operations. Due to continued budget cuts and loss of researchers in the area of environmental chemistry, RINSC has been forced to terminate support for other state agencies in the area of radiological emergency response.In the event of a major radiological accident, RINSC would not be able to meet the technical and legal requirements that are necessary to do this work.Budget cuts have also necessitated the termination of support for other state agencies in the area of orphaned radioactive material.Such material is extremely expensive to dispose of and there is no funding for this program.PERFORMANCE MEASURES: Under revision Page 6 RIAEC Organization Chart FIGURE 6-1 r--------------- I I I I I I RHODE ISLAN.D ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION (RIAEC)TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Docket 50-193 License R-95 Rhode Island Atomic Energy Commission Line of---------- Communication RHODE ISLAND CANCER COUNCIL 1 1 DIRECTOR r I I r---------------------r-------------------l I L..--_.LI__J..I--, NUCLEAR&RADIATION SAFETY COMMITTEE (NRSC)SENIOR CLERK TYPIST ASST.DIRECTOR FOR RADIATION&REACTOR SAFETY (RSO)ASST.DIRECTOR FOR REACTOR OPERATIONS OPERATIONS ENGINEERING RESEARCH REACTOR SUPERVISOR FACILITY ENGINEER RESEARCH ASSOCIATE I I CUSTODIAN HEALTH PHYSICIST REACTOR OPERATOR H.P.SPECIALTY PRIN REACTOR OPERATOR H.P.SPECIALTY REACTOR OPERATOR ELECTRONICS I I I I I I I I , J t I I I I I I I I I REACTOR OPERATOR MECHANICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS SPECIALIST STUDENT LAB HELPER Page 7 <\1,-t.,State of Rhode Island.J;.;"A>Jtft Island Atomic Energy Commission J:f'};f.*-t{]:}*" Agency Summary Agency: 052 RHODE ISLAND ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION FY 2010 Actuals: FY 2011 Actuals: FY2012 Enacted: FY2012 Revised Budget: FY 2013 Current Services: FY 2013 Requested Budget: By Program 07 Atomic Energy Commission $1,141,723 $1,198,885 $1,511,526 $1,399,109 $1,587,053 $1,531,869 $1,141,723 $1,198,885 $1,511,526 $1,399,109 $1,587,053 $1,531,869 By Category 10 SalarylWages and Benefits$877,1l8$980,409$1,008,283 $992,956$1,083,810 $1,125,726 30 Contracted Professional Services$3,773$4,034$43,907$43,907$43,907$43,907 40 Operating Supplies and Expenses$225,904$175,601$389,336$240,246$389,336$240,236 60 Capital Purchases and Equipment$34,928$38,841$70,000$122,000$70,000$122,000$1,141,723 $1,198,885 $1,511,526 $1,399,109 $1,587,053 $1,531,869 By Source 01 General Revenue$769,039$858,632$879,592$879,592$955,119$1,005,872 02 Federal Funds$130,200$76,636$324,104$180,216$324,104$180,216 05 Operating Transfers from Other Fu$242,484$263,617$307,830$339,301$307,830$345,781$1,141,723 $1,198,885 $1,511,526 $1,399,109 $1,587,053 $1,531,869 FTE Total FTE'8.6 8.6 8.6 8.6 8.6 8.6 8.6 8.6 8.6 r=_> '$t X'J.State of Rhode Island\'JCJRhode Island Atomic Energy Commission ,.*{l.rf-.Program Summary Agency: 052 RHODE ISLAND ATOMIC ENERGY Actuals: FY2011 Actuals: FY 2012 Enacted: FY 2012 Revised Budget: FY2013 Current Services: FY2013 Requested Budget: Program: 07 Atomic Energy Commission By Sub-Program 0000 No Sub-Programs $1,141,723 $1,198,885 $1,511,526 $1,399,109 $1,587,053 $1,531,869 $1,141,723 $1,198,885 $1,511,526 $1,399,109 $1,587,053 $1,531,869 By Category 10 SalarylWages and Benefits$877,118$980,409$1,008,283 $992,956$1,083,810 $1,125,726 30 Contracted Professional Services$3,773$4,034$43,907$43,907$43,907$43,907 40 Operating Supplies and Expenses$225,904$175,601$389,336$240,246$389,336$240,236 60 Capital Purchases and Equipment$34,928$38,841$70,000$122,000$70,000$122,000$1,141,723 $1,198,885 $1,511,526 $1,399,109 $1,587,053 $1,531,869 By Source 01 General Revenue$769,039$858,632$879,592$879,592$955,119$1,005,872 02 Federal Funds$130,200$76,63?$324,104$180,216$324,104$180,216 05 Operating Transfers from Other Fu$242,484$263,617$307,830$339,301$307,830$345,781$1,141,723 $1,198,885 $1,511,526 $1,399,109 $1,587,053 $1,531,869 Grand Total$1,141,723 $1,198,885 $1,511,526 $1,399,109 $1,587,053 $1,531,869 9/21/2011 8:52:06 AM
