ML13093A372), Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) submitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) a decommissioning funding status (DFS) report for Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN), Units 1, 2, and 3, Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, and Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, Unit 1 as required under paragraph (f)(1) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 50.75 (10 CFR) 50.75(f)(1)). For our further evaluation, we need the following additional information:
RAI #1 - Citation for real rate of returns (BFN, Units 1, 2 and 3, SQN, Units 1 and 2, and WBN, Unit 1):
Provide the citation (e.g., an Order by the rate-regulatory authority) by the regulatory entity that allows for the assumptions used regarding rates of escalation in decommissioning costs, rate of earning on decommissioning funds and rates of other factors assumed in your DFS report.
In its April 1, 2013, letter, TVA reported the following:
4 percent rate of escalation in decommissioning costs, and
- 5 percent real rate of return on decommissioning funds.
As stated in 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1),
The information in this [DFS] report must include, at a minimum the amount of decommissioning funds estimated to be required under 10 CFR 50.75(b) and (c); the amount accumulated to the end of the calendar year preceding the date of the report; a schedule of the annual amounts remaining to be collected; the assumptions used regarding rates of escalation in decommissioning costs, rates of earnings on decommissioning funds, and rates of other factors used in funding projections; Attachment
RAI #3 - Amounts accumulated (BFN, Units 1, 2 and 3, SQN, Units 1 and 2, and WBN, Unit 1):
Provide the after-tax amount of funds accumulated through December 31, 2012.
In its April 1, 2013, letter, TVA did not state if the amount of decommissioning funds accumulated was an after-tax amount.
The provisions of 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1) and (2) require the licensee to report the amount of funds accumulated to the end of the calendar year preceding the report.
