SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION This license amendment request proposes to delete from the Facility Operating License (FOL) certain license conditions which impose specific requirements on the decommissioning trust agreements. Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (CEG) has elected to subject Calvert Cliffs decommissioning trust agreement to the regulatory requirements for decommissioning trust funds that are specified in 10 CFR 50.75(h). The option to delete license conditions relating to the terms and conditions of decommissioning trust agreements and, instead, conform to the regulations as amended in 2002 (Reference 1) and as amended in 2003 (Reference 2) is consistent with the NRC's stated intent in the Final Rule for Decommissioning Trust Provisions published in the Federal Register and is specifically contemplated by the provisions of 10 CFR 50.75(h)(5), and the generic finding of no significant hazards consideration in 10 CFR 50.75(h)(4).
2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit," Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (CEG), requests an amendment to Renewed Facility Operating License (FOL) Nos. DPR-53 and DPR-69 for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. The amendment request proposes to delete from the FOL certain license conditions which impose specific requirements on the decommissioning trust agreement.
Upon approval of this amendment, the provisions of 10 CFR 50.75(h) that specify the regulatory requirements for decommissioning trust funds will apply.
In December 2002 (Reference 1), the NRC amended the regulations under 10 CFR 50.75(e) and added new provisions at 10 CFR 50.75(h)(1) through (4) that govern financial assurance mechanisms for licensees that are not "electric utilities" as defined in 10 CFR 50.2. CEG is not an "electric utility" since CEG does not recover the cost of electricity generated through rates established by itself or by a separate regulatory authority. In the 2002 rulemaking, the NRC addressed several comments regarding potential conflicts or inconsistencies between the provisions of 10 CFR 50.75(h) and a licensee's existing decommissioning trust-related license conditions. The NRC explained that "licensees will have the option of maintaining their existing license conditions or submitting to the new requirements" and "will be able to decide for themselves whether they prefer to keep or eliminate their specific license conditions." To support the option to amend and eliminate these license conditions, the NRC made a generic determination in 10 CFR 50.75(h)(4) that a license amendment which does no more than delete specific license conditions relating to the terms and conditions of decommissioning trust agreements involves "no significant hazards consideration."
In November 2003 (Reference 2), the NRC added new section 10 CFR 50.75(h)(5) to the regulations, which codifies the NRC's stated intention of allowing licensees to choose to either maintain their existing license conditions or eliminating them in favor of complying with the new regulatory requirements. 10 CFR 50.75(h)(5) states:
ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Changes Page 2 of 9 The provisions of paragraphs (h)(1) through (h)(3) of this section do not apply to any licensee that as of December 24, 2003, has existing license conditions relating to decommissioning trust agreements, so long as the licensee does not elect to amend those license conditions. If a licensee with existing license conditions relating to decommissioning trust agreements elects to amend those conditions, the license amendment shall be in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (h) of this section.
Consistent with 10 CFR 50.75(h)(5), CEG has elected to adopt the requirements of 10 CFR 50.75(h) by requesting deletion of those license conditions that are currently incorporated in the Calvert Cliffs FOL Appendix C.

Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, License Amendment No. 140 Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos.1 and 2 License Amendment Nos. 61 and 289 were issued on March 21, 2019 (Reference 4).
4.3 No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination Analysis In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit," Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (CEG), requests an amendment to Renewed Facility Operating License (FOL) Nos. DPR-53 and DPR-69 for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2.
The amendment request proposes to delete from the FOL certain license conditions which impose specific requirements on the decommissioning trust agreements. Upon approval of this amendment, the provisions of 10 CFR 50.75(h) that specify the regulatory requirements for decommissioning trust funds will apply. The option to delete license conditions relating to the terms and conditions of decommissioning trust agreements and, instead, conform to the 10 CFR 50.75(h) regulations as amended in 2002 (Reference 1) is specifically contemplated by the provisions of 10 CFR 50.75(h)(5), and the generic finding of no significant hazards consideration in 10 CFR 50.75(h)(4).
CEG has evaluated the proposed change against the criteria of 10 CFR 50.92(c) to determine if the proposed change results in any significant hazards. The following is the evaluation of each of the 10 CFR 50.92(c) criteria:
- 1.
Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No The requested changes delete license conditions pertaining to Decommissioning Trust Agreements currently in the FOL. The requested changes are consistent with the types of license amendments permitted in 10 CFR 50.75(h)(4).
The regulations of 10 CFR 50.75(h)(4) state: "Unless otherwise determined by the Commission with regard to a specific application, the Commission has determined that any amendment to the license of a utilization facility that does no more than delete specific license conditions relating to the terms and conditions of decommissioning trust agreements involves "no significant hazard considerations."
This request involves changes that are administrative in nature. No actual plant equipment or accident analyses will be affected by the proposed changes.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
ATTACHMENT 1 Evaluation of Proposed Changes Page 8 of 9
- 2.
Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated?
Response: No This request involves administrative changes to the license that will be consistent with the 10 CFR 50.75(h). No actual plant equipment or accident analyses will be affected by the proposed change and no failure modes not bounded by previously evaluated accidents will be created.
Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.
- 3.
Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?
Response: No This request involves administrative changes to the license that will be consistent with the 10 CFR 50.75(h). No actual plant equipment or accident analyses will be affected by the proposed change. Additionally, the proposed changes will not relax any criteria used to establish safety limits, will not relax any safety systems settings, or will not relax the bases for any limiting conditions of operation.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Based on the above, CEG concludes that the proposed amendment presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c) and complies with the "generic" determination in 10 CFR 50.75(h)(4), accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.
4.4 Conclusions In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION The proposed amendment involves (i) changes to surety, insurance, and/or indemnity requirements, or (ii) changes to recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b),
no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.
