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the current year, which are required by 10 CFR 50.71(b), to determine if the applicant is financially qualified to are out of date, please provide a copy of the latest financial statements for the NRC review.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annual operating costs for each of the first five years of operations of formation included in the application is now out of date, please provide the following additional information: (a) Projected operating costs of the RINSC for each of the fiscal years (FY) 2015 thru FY 2019 (the first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 Enclosure 1 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. Enclosure 1 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. Enclosure 1 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 Enclosure 1 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. The governor is hereby authorized to enter into an agreement with the proper authorities of the federal government for the transfer of regulatory responsibilities from the United States Atomic Energy Commission to the state of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations when such an agreement is recommended by the Rhode Island atomic energy commission under the powers and duties of the commission as set forth in this chapter. (d) Documentation verifying that the signatory of the SOI is authorized to execute such a document that binds the applicant financially. For example, provide a copy of solution that shows that the signatory of the SOI has been authorized by the RIAEC to bind the RIAEC financially, at least with respect to funding the decommissioning of the RINSC, or provide a copy of an official RIAEC delegation of authority showing that the signatory of the SOI is authorized to bind RIAEC financially, at least with respect to funding the decommissioning of the RINSC. Please see attached letter from the Rhode Island Governor designating Dr. Clinton Chichester as the Chairman of the RIAEC (enclosure 6).
