NRC Decommissioning Process

• Permanently cease operations

• Certify permanent cessation of operations

• Certify fuel removed from reactor

• Submit PSDAR (within 2 years)

• SAFSTOR and/or plant decommissioning

• Application for license termination (LTP)

• Li License termination i i 5

TMI-2 Decommissioning Process

• The March 28, 1979, accident made the shutdown of TMI TMI-2 2 different from all other reactors.

• NRC C approved PDMS SS SAR on September 14, 1993, with License Amendment 45.

• GPU submits PSDAR on June 28, 2013, to establish compliance with 50.82.

6

PSDAR Requirements

• 10 CFR 50.82(a)(4)

• PSDAR describes:

- p planned decommissioning g activities

- decommissioning schedule

- cost estimate for the decommissioning

- environmental impacts of decommissioning deco ss o g 7

PSDAR Review Process

• NRC notices receipt of PSDAR &

requests public comments

• NRC schedules PSDAR public meeting

• NRC considers public comments

• Review e e PSDAR S in acco accordance da ce with t

Regulatory Guide 1.185

• PSDAR does not require NRC approval 8

PSDAR Review Criteria

• Decom can be completed as described

• Decom can be completed within 60 years

• Decom can be completed for the estimated cost

• Decom eco actactivities t es do not ot e endanger da ge pub public c

health and safety or the environment 9

PSDAR Highlights

• Decommissioning of TMI-2 will start after TMI-1 operating license expires in April 2034

• TMI-2 TMI 2 willill b be maintained i t i d iin currentt PDMS mode d until til decommissioning begins

• TMI TMI-22 license termination will occur before September 2053 (60 years after cessation of operations)

• Decommissioning costs are estimated to be

$844 885 000 (b

$844,885,000 (basedd on 2008 ddollars) ll )

• Environmental impacts of planned decommissioning activities are bounded by impacts associated with post-post accident cleanup activities and GEIS 10

Conclusion

• NRC received a PSDAR for TMI-2 on June 2828, 2013

• Although NRC is not required to approve the PSDAR S by regulation, NRC C will review the PSDAR

• NRC will consider the public comments in its review of the TMI-2 PSDAR 11

Decommissioning Power Reactor Oversight Program

• Decommissioning power reactor inspection program is described in Inspection Manual Chapter 2561

• Annual A l IInspection ti performed f d by b R Region i I staff t ff

- Verify controls and methods for safe storage of radioactive material and structures at permanently shutdown reactors 13

TMI-2 SAFSTOR PROGRAM

• No ongoing decommissioning activities

• Material condition of components remain unchanged

• Safe storage programs being conducted according to Technical Specifications and site procedures

• NRC Inspection Reports are located in ADAMS http://www nrc gov/reading-rm/adams http://www.nrc.gov/reading rm/adams.html html 14
