SUBJECT:

U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONS ANALYSIS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISONS DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING STATUS REPORT FOR SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3, DOCKET NOS. 50-206, 50-361, AND 50-362

Dear Albert Bates:

By letter dated March 23, 2022, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received your decommissioning funding status (DFS) report (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML22084A055) for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), Units 1, 2, and 3.

The NRC has reviewed and analyzed the site-specific decommissioning cost estimate, as required in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 50.82(a)(4)(i), Termination of license, and the amount(s) stated within the licensees decommissioning trust fund, as of December 31, 2021, for the above plants, as well as earnings assumptions. Based on the reported decommissioning trust balance, together with earnings credits specified under NRC regulations, the NRC has determined that as of December 31, 2021, Southern California Edison (SCE) is providing a total amount of decommissioning funding assurance in the amount of

$209.5M, $1,433.7M, and $1,659.2M for SONGS Unit 1, Unit 2, and Unit 3, respectively.

This letter confirms the correspondence, described above, regarding DFS reports for permanently shutdown power reactors as required under 10 CFR 50.82(a)(v) - (vi). As of the date of this letter, considering the available information, the NRC has determined that SCE has satisfied the decommissioning funding assurance requirements of 10 CFR 50.82, for SONGS Units 1, 2, and 3 on December 31, 2021. A summary report completed by NRC staff reflecting decommissioning power reactor DFS is expected to be completed and made publicly available by the end of calendar year 2022.

A. Bates If you have any questions in this matter, please contact Amy M. Snyder, at Amy.Snyder@nrc.gov.
