Submittal of Braidwood Station Site-Specific SAFSTOR Decommissioning Cost Estimate
Reference:
Letter from Keith R. Jury (Exelon Generation Company) to U.S. NRC, "Decommissioning Funding Assurance Plan,' dated July 29, 2009 In the referenced letter, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) committed to provide a site-specific SAFSTOR Decommissioning Cost Estimate (DCE) for Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2. The DCE is provided as Attachment 1, and, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.75(b)(I), is greater than the amount specified in 10 CFR 50.75(c) for both Unit 1 and Unit 2. The DCE has been performed assuming that Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2 are granted license extension, since it is intended to reflect the most likely decommissioning scenario for Braidwood Station. However, this determination of the minimum funding requirement does not credit the additional 20-year license renewal period. shows the radiological decommissioning (license termination) cash flow based on the DCE in Attachment 1, assuming the SAFSTOR scenario, and does not include the costs of dismantling non-radiological systems and structures or the cost of managing and storing spent fuel onsite. EGC has not made a final determination of the decommissioning approach for Braidwood Station. For the purpose of choosing a decommissioning option to demonstrate adequacy of funding to meet regulatory requirements, the SAFSTOR option has been selected. EGC may choose a different decommissioning option in the future, recognizing that the chosen option must meet NRC requirements for decommissioning funding.
January 1 1,201 0 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 The costs presented in Attachment 2 occur 20 years earlier than those in the Attachment 1 DCE to model the current license expiration date. No credit is taken for license renewal. The cash flow analysis assumes a 2% annual real rate of return on trust fund dollars until plant shutdown and on remaining trust fund dollars through the decommissioning period. The site-specific estimate is based on a period of safe storage specifically described in the Attachment 1 DCE. The Attachment 1 DCE presents the results in 2009 dollars. These results are escalated to December 31, 2009 by using the latest site-specific escalation factor, which is re-calculated on an annual basis.
For Braidwood Station Units 1 and 2, the decommissioning funding assurance is provided by the prepayment method, coupled with an external trust fund, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.75(e)(l)(i). There are no additional amounts to be collected from ratepayers for Braidwood Station, nor are there any contracts relied upon to pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(e)(l )(v).
Per the referenced letter, EGC will perform a calculation of radiological decommissioning funding assurance as of December 31,2009 based on this site-specific SAFSTOR estimate. If this calculation does not show adequate decommissioning funding assurance, EGC will obtain approval from the EGC Board of Directors for, and establish an additional funding assurance mechanism by April 1, 201 0.
There are no new regulatory commitments contained in this letter.

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
This report presents estimates of the cost to decommission the Braidwood Nuclear Power Station (Braidwood) for the identified decommissioning scenarios following a scheduled cessation of plant operations. The analysis relies upon site-specific, technical information, developed in an evaluation in 2004,[1] and updated to reflect current assumptions pertaining to the disposition of the nuclear units and relevant industry experience in undertaking such projects. Additionally, the plant systems inventory was completely regenerated from the Byron Nuclear Power Stations site-specific database. This is appropriate since Byron and Braidwood are essentially identical in design and vintage. Byrons plant systems inventory was subsequently modified to reflect design features unique to Braidwood. The updated estimates are designed to provide Exelon Generation Company LLC (Exelon) with sufficient information to assess its financial obligations, as they pertain to the eventual decommissioning of the nuclear station.
The primary goal of the decommissioning is the removal and disposal of the contaminated systems and structures so that the plants operating licenses can be terminated. The analysis recognizes that spent fuel will be stored at the site in the plants storage pool and/or in an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) until such time that it can be transferred to a Department of Energy (DOE) facility.
Consequently, the estimates also include those costs to manage and subsequently decommission the fuel storage facilities.
The estimates are based on numerous fundamental assumptions, including regulatory requirements, project contingencies, low-level radioactive waste disposal practices, high-level radioactive waste management options, and site restoration requirements.
The estimates incorporate a
minimum cooling period of approximately five and one-half years for the spent fuel in the storage pool at the cessation of Unit 2 operations. In the DECON and SAFSTOR scenarios, any residual fuel remaining in the pool after the cooling period is relocated to the ISFSI to await transfer to a DOE facility (the fuel is assumed to remain in the storage pool for the Delayed DECON scenario and transferred directly from the pool to DOE).
The estimates also include the dismantling of non-essential structures and limited restoration of the site.

Alternatives and Regulations The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) provided initial decommissioning requirements in its rule adopted on June 27, 1988.[2] In this rule, the NRC set forth financial criteria for decommissioning licensed nuclear power facilities. The regulations addressed planning needs, timing, funding methods, and environmental review requirements for decommissioning. The rule also defined three decommissioning alternatives as being acceptable to the NRC: DECON, SAFSTOR, and ENTOMB.
DECON is defined as "the alternative in which the equipment, structures, and portions of a facility and site containing radioactive contaminants are removed or decontaminated to a level that permits the property to be released for unrestricted use shortly after cessation of operations."[3]
SAFSTOR is defined as "the alternative in which the nuclear facility is placed and maintained in a condition that allows the nuclear facility to be safely stored and subsequently decontaminated (deferred decontamination) to levels that permit release for unrestricted use."[4]
Decommissioning is to be completed within 60 years, although longer time periods will be considered when necessary to protect public health and safety.
ENTOMB is defined as "the alternative in which radioactive contaminants are encased in a structurally long-lived material, such as concrete; the entombed structure is appropriately maintained and continued surveillance is carried out until the radioactive material decays to a level permitting unrestricted release of the property."[5] As with the SAFSTOR alternative, decommissioning is currently required to be completed within 60 years.
The 60-year restriction has limited the practicality for the ENTOMB alternative at commercial reactors that generate significant amounts of long-lived radioactive material. In 1997, the Commission directed its staff to re-evaluate this alternative and identify the technical requirements and regulatory actions that would be necessary for entombment to become 2

a viable option.
The resulting evaluation provided several recommendations, however, rulemaking has been deferred based upon several factors (e.g., no licensee has committed to pursuing the entombment option, the unresolved issues associated with the disposition of greater-than-Class C material (GTCC), and the NRCs current priorities) at least until after the additional research studies are complete.
The Commission concurred with the staffs recommendation.
In 1996, the NRC amended its decommissioning regulations to clarify ambiguities and codify procedures and terminology as a means of enhancing efficiency and uniformity in the decommissioning process.[6] The amendments allow for greater public participation and better define the transition process from operations to decommissioning. Regulatory Guide 1.184, issued in July 2000, further described the methods and procedures acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing the requirements of the 1996 amendments relating to the initial activities and major phases of the decommissioning process. The costs and schedules presented in this analysis follow the general guidance and processes described in the amended regulations. The format and content of the estimates is also consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.202, issued in February 2005.[7]
Decommissioning Scenarios The following scenarios were evaluated and are representative of the alternatives available to the owner. The scenarios assume that the units operate for 60 years, followed by a planned and scheduled shutdown.
- 1.
DECON: The first scenario assumes that the two units are promptly decommissioned as an integrated activity. Spent fuel is relocated from the wet storage pool to the ISFSI so as to facilitate decontamination and dismantling activities within the fuel handling building. Spent fuel storage operations continue at the site, independent of decommissioning operations, until the transfer of the fuel to the DOE is complete, assumed for purposes of this study to be in the year 2065. At that time, the ISFSI is decommissioned and the site released for alternative use.
- 2.
Delayed DECON: In the second scenario, the units are prepared for an abbreviated period of safe-storage. The spent fuel resident in the fuel handling buildings storage pool, remains in the pool until it can be transferred to the 6

DOE (i.e., the ISFSI is not used to off-load the pool following the cessation of operations). Spent fuel placed at the ISFSI during operations remains in storage until the pool is emptied at which time the ISFSI is also emptied.
Decommissioning is scheduled to commence once the transfer of the fuel to the DOE is complete (i.e., in the year 2065).
- 3.
SAFSTOR: The units are also placed into safe-storage in the third scenario.
However, decommissioning is deferred beyond the fuel storage period to the maximum extent permitted by the current regulations. Similar to the DECON alternative, the spent fuel in the wet storage pool is relocated to the ISFSI for interim storage. The units remain in protective storage following the removal of spent fuel from the site. Decommissioning operations commence such that license termination is completed within the required 60-year period. As with the first two scenarios, decommissioning activities at the two units are sequenced and integrated so as to minimize the total duration of the physical dismantling process.
Methodology The methodology used to develop the estimates described within this document follows the basic approach originally presented in the cost estimating guidelines [8]
developed by the Atomic Industrial Forum (now Nuclear Energy Institute). This reference describes a unit factor method for determining decommissioning activity costs. The unit factors used in this analysis incorporate site-specific costs and the latest available information on worker productivity in decommissioning.
An activity duration critical path is used to determine the total decommissioning program schedule. The schedule is relied upon in calculating the carrying costs, which include program management, administration, field engineering, equipment rental, and support services such as quality control and security. This systematic approach for assembling decommissioning estimates ensures a high degree of confidence in the reliability of the resulting cost estimate.
Contingency Consistent with standard cost estimating practice, contingencies are applied to the decontamination and dismantling costs as "specific provision for unforeseeable elements of cost within the defined project scope, particularly important where previous experience relating estimates and actual costs has shown that 8
T.S. LaGuardia et al., "Guidelines for Producing Commercial Nuclear Power Plant Decommissioning Cost Estimates," AIF/NESP-036, May 1986
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Page xi of xviii TLG Services, Inc.
unforeseeable events which will increase costs are likely to occur.[9] The cost elements in the estimates are based on ideal conditions; therefore, the types of unforeseeable events that are almost certain to occur in decommissioning, based on industry experience, are addressed through a percentage contingency applied on a line-item basis. This contingency factor is a nearly universal element in all large-scale construction and demolition projects. It should be noted that contingency, as used in this analysis, does not account for price escalation and inflation in the cost of decommissioning over the remaining operating life of the station.
The use and role of contingency within decommissioning estimates is not a safety factor issue. Safety factors provide additional security and address situations that may never occur. Contingency funds, by contrast, are expected to be fully expended throughout the program. Inclusion of contingency is necessary to provide assurance that sufficient funding will be available to accomplish the intended tasks.
Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal The contaminated and activated material generated in the decontamination and dismantling of a commercial nuclear reactor is classified as low-level (radioactive) waste, although not all of the material is suitable for shallow-land disposal. With the passage of the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act in 1980,[10] and its Amendments of 1985,[11] the states became ultimately responsible for the disposition of low-level radioactive waste generated within their own borders.
Until recently, there were two facilities available to Exelon for the disposal of low-level radioactive waste generated by Braidwood. As of July 1, 2008, however, the facility in Barnwell, South Carolina was closed to generators outside the Atlantic Compact (comprised of the states of Connecticut, New Jersey and South Carolina).
This leaves the facility in Clive, Utah, operated by EnergySolutions, as the only available destination for low-level radioactive waste requiring controlled disposal.
EnergySolutions does not have a license to dispose of the more highly radioactive waste (Class B and C as defined by 10 CFR §61) generated in the decontamination and dismantling of the reactor vessel. In the interim (at least until new waste disposal options become available) and for purposes of this analysis, waste disposal costs for this material are based upon Exelons previously negotiated cost of disposal at the Barnwell site.

Material exceeding Class C limits (limited to material closest to the reactor core and comprising a small percentage of the total waste volume) is generally not suitable for shallow-land disposal. This material is packaged in the same multipurpose canisters used for spent fuel storage/transport and designated for geologic disposal.
A significant portion of the metallic waste generated during decommissioning may only be potentially contaminated by radioactive materials. This waste can be surveyed on site or shipped off site to licensed facilities for further analysis, for processing and/or for conditioning/recovery. Reduction in the volume of low-level radioactive waste requiring disposal in a licensed low-level radioactive waste disposal facility can be accomplished through a variety of methods, including analyses and surveys or decontamination to eliminate the portion of waste that does not require disposal as radioactive waste, compaction, incineration or metal melt.
The estimates reflect the savings from waste recovery/volume reduction.
High-Level Radioactive Waste Management Congress passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act [12] (NWPA) in 1982, assigning the responsibility for disposal of the spent nuclear fuel created by the commercial nuclear generating plants to the DOE. Two permanent disposal facilities were envisioned, as well as an interim storage facility. To recover the cost, the legislation created a Nuclear Waste Fund through which money is collected from the sale of electricity generated by the power plants. The NWPA, along with the individual disposal contracts with the utilities, specified that the DOE was to begin accepting spent fuel by January 31, 1998.
Since the original legislation, the DOE has announced several delays in the program schedule. By January 1998, the DOE had failed to initiate the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high level waste, as required by the NWPA and the utility contracts. As a result, utilities initiated legal action against the DOE. While legal actions continue, the DOE has no plans to receive spent fuel prior to completing the construction of its geologic repository.
Operation of DOEs yet-to-be constructed repository is contingent upon the review and approval of the facilitys license application by the NRC and the successful resolution of pending litigation. The DOE submitted its license application to the NRC on June 3, 2008, seeking authorization to construct the repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The NRC formally docketed the DOEs license application on September 8, 2008, triggering a three-year deadline, with a possible one-year 12 Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 and Amendments, U.S. Department of Energys Office of Civilian Radioactive Management, 1982
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Page xiii of xviii TLG Services, Inc.
extension, set by Congress for the NRC to decide on whether to authorize construction.
Construction, if adequately funded, could take five to six years after the DOE receives authorization to proceed. For purposes of this analysis, Exelon has assumed that DOE would begin to receive commercial spent fuel in 2018.
Once the repository is operational, fuel acceptance will be prioritized and spent fuel assemblies will need to meet certain acceptance criteria, including heat output.
These conditions require that the fuel discharged upon the cessation of operations be actively cooled and stored for a minimum period at the generating site prior to transfer (a minimum of five years as defined in 10CFR§961 for standard fuel). As such, the NRC requires that licensees establish a program to manage and provide funding for the management of all irradiated fuel at the reactor until title of the fuel is transferred to the Secretary of Energy, pursuant to 10CFR§50.54(bb).[13] This funding requirement is fulfilled through inclusion of certain cost elements in the decommissioning estimates, for example, associated with the isolation and continued operation of the plants fuel storage pool and/or ISFSI.
At shutdown, the plants storage pool is expected to contain freshly discharged assemblies (from the most recent refueling cycles) as well as the final reactor cores.
In the DECON and SAFSTOR scenarios the assemblies are packaged into multipurpose canisters for transfer to an existing ISFSI. A five and one-half year cooling period following the cessation of Unit 2 operations is provided for the final core to meet the conditions for dry storage.
Once the storage pool is emptied, the fuel handling building can be either decontaminated and dismantled or prepared for long-term storage. The ISFSI, which can be operated under the stations general license, will be expanded to accommodate the dry storage casks needed to off-load the wet storage pool. In the Delayed DECON scenario, the storage pool remains operational and used for the interim storage of the fuel. No additional dry storage capacity is assumed to be constructed for decommissioning. The transfer of spent fuel to DOE is performed first from the storage pool and is completed from the ISFSI.
The DOEs generator allocation/receipt schedules are based upon the oldest fuel receiving the highest priority. With a large fleet of reactors, Exelon is able to re-assign allocations between its units to minimize on-site storage costs. Assuming spent fuel from the older units is given priority and with a maximum rate of 13 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10, Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, Subpart 54 (bb), Conditions of Licenses
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Page xiv of xviii TLG Services, Inc.
transfer of 3,000 metric tons of uranium (MTU)/year), the assemblies residing in the Braidwood storage pool at the time of shutdown would be scheduled for pickup in the years 2061 through 2065 (assuming the cessation of plant operations in 2046 and 2047 for Units 1 and 2, respectively). This equates to 93 multi-purpose canisters (at 32 assemblies per canister), in addition to the 26 on the pad from operations.
Exelons strongly held position is that the DOE has a contractual obligation to accept Braidwoods fuel in a timely manner and consistent with its contract commitments. No assumption made in this study should be interpreted to be inconsistent with this claim. However, at this time, including the cost of storing spent fuel in this study is the most reasonable approach because it insures the availability of sufficient decommissioning funds at the end of the stations life if, contrary to its contractual obligation, the DOE has not performed.
Site Restoration The efficient removal of the contaminated materials at the site will result in damage to many of the site structures. Blasting, coring, drilling, and the other decontamination activities will substantially damage power block structures, potentially weakening the footings and structural supports. Prompt demolition once the license is terminated is clearly the most appropriate and cost-effective option. It is unreasonable to anticipate that these structures would be repaired and preserved after the radiological contamination is removed. The cost to dismantle site structures with a work force already mobilized is more efficient and less costly than if the process were deferred. Experience at shutdown generating stations has shown that plant facilities quickly degrade without maintenance, adding additional expense and creating potential hazards to the public and the demolition work force.
Consequently, this analysis assumes that non-essential site structures within the restricted access area are removed to a nominal depth of three feet below the local grade level wherever possible. The site is then graded and stabilized.
Summary The costs to decommission Braidwood were evaluated for several decommissioning scenarios, incorporating the attributes of both the DECON and SAFSTOR decommissioning alternatives. Regardless of the timing of the decommissioning activities, the estimates assume the eventual removal of all the contaminated and activated plant components and structural materials, such that the facility operator may then have unrestricted use of the site with no further requirement for an operating license. Delayed decommissioning is initiated after the spent fuel has been removed from the site and is accomplished within the 60-year period required

by current NRC regulations. In the interim, the spent fuel remains in storage at the site until such time that the transfer to a DOE facility can be completed. Once the transfer is complete, the storage facilities are also decommissioned.
The scenarios analyzed for the purpose of generating the estimates are described in Section 2. The assumptions are presented in Section 3, along with schedules of annual expenditures. The major cost contributors are identified in Section 6, with detailed activity costs, waste volumes, and associated manpower requirements delineated in Appendices C, D, and E. Cost summaries for the various scenarios are provided at the end of this section for the major cost components.

- 1. INTRODUCTION This report presents estimates of the cost to decommission the Braidwood Nuclear Power Station (Braidwood), for the scenarios described in Section 2, following a scheduled cessation of plant operations. The analysis relies upon site-specific, technical information from an earlier evaluation prepared in 2004,[1] updated to reflect current assumptions pertaining to the disposition of the nuclear units and relevant industry experience in undertaking such projects. Additionally, the plant systems inventory was completely regenerated from the Byron Nuclear Power Stations site-specific database. This is appropriate since Byron and Braidwood are essentially identical in design and vintage. Byrons plant systems inventory was subsequently modified to reflect design features unique to Braidwood. The current estimates are designed to provide Exelon Generation Company LLC (Exelon), with sufficient information to assess their financial obligations, as they pertain to the eventual decommissioning of the nuclear units. It is not a detailed engineering document, but a financial analysis prepared in advance of the detailed engineering that will be required to carry out the decommissioning 1.1 OBJECTIVES OF STUDY The objectives of this study are to prepare comprehensive estimates of the cost to decommission Braidwood, to provide a sequence or schedule for the associated activities, and to develop waste stream projections from the decontamination and dismantling activities. Operating licenses were issued on October 17, 1986, for Unit 1 and December 18, 1987, for Unit 2. A sixty year operating lifetime has been assumed for the purpose of this study. As such, the cessation of operations would then be October 17, 2046, for Unit 1 and December 18, 2047, for Units 1 and 2, respectively. These dates were used to schedule the decommissioning activities.
1.2 SITE DESCRIPTION Braidwood is located near the Kankakee River, approximately 6 line miles southwest of Wilmington, Illinois. The station is comprised of two essentially identical pressurized water reactors with supporting facilities.
The primary coolant system for each unit consists of a pressurized water reactor system designed by the Westinghouse Corporation. The reactor coolant system is comprised of the reactor vessel and four heat transfer loops. Each loop contains a reactor coolant pump, steam generator, and associated piping and valves. In addition, the system includes a pressurizer, a pressurizer relief
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 1, Page 2 of 8 TLG Services, Inc.
tank, interconnected piping, and the instrumentation necessary for operational control. All components of the reactor coolant system are located in the containment building. The design reactor thermal power level is 3,587 Megawatts thermal (MWth). The corresponding electrical outputs are approximately 1,178 Megawatts electric (MWe) and 1152 MWe for Units 1 and 2, respectively.
The containment structure at Braidwood Station is a prestressed concrete shell structure made up of a cylinder with a shallow dome roof and a flat foundation slab. The entire structure is lined on the inside with steel plate, which acts as a leaktight membrane. The containment completely encloses the entire primary coolant system, including portions of the auxiliary and engineered safety features systems.
Heat produced in the reactor is converted to electrical energy by the power conversion system. A turbine-generator system converts the thermal energy of steam produced in the reactor into mechanical shaft power and then into electrical energy. The main turbine consists of one double-flow, high-pressure turbine and three double-flow, low-pressure turbines. The generator is driven at 1800 rpm and is rated at 1300 MVA. The exhaust steam from the turbine is condensed and deaerated in the main condenser. The heat rejected to the main condenser is removed by the circulating water system.
The circulating water system provides the heat sink required for removal of waste heat in the power plants thermal cycle. The system has the principal function of removing heat by absorbing this energy in the main condenser.
Water is withdrawn from a cooling lake by the circulating water pumps via the intake pipes. After passing through the plant condensers, the discharge is routed back to the cooling lake.
1.3 REGULATORY GUIDANCE The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) provided initial decommissioning requirements in its rule "General Requirements for Decommissioning Nuclear Facilities," issued in June 1988.[2]* This rule set forth financial criteria for decommissioning licensed nuclear power facilities.
The regulation addressed decommissioning planning needs, timing, funding methods, and environmental review requirements. The intent of the rule was to ensure that decommissioning would be accomplished in a safe and timely manner and that adequate funds would be available for this purpose.
- Annotated references for citations in Sections 1-6 are provided in Section 7.
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 1, Page 3 of 8 TLG Services, Inc.
Subsequent to the rule, the NRC issued Regulatory Guide 1.159, Assuring the Availability of Funds for Decommissioning Nuclear Reactors,[3] which provided additional guidance to the licensees of nuclear facilities on the financial methods acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the requirements of the rule. The regulatory guide addressed the funding requirements and provided guidance on the content and form of the financial assurance mechanisms indicated in the rule.
The rule defined three decommissioning alternatives as being acceptable to the NRC: DECON, SAFSTOR, and ENTOMB. The DECON alternative assumes that any contaminated or activated portion of the plants systems, structures, and facilities are removed or decontaminated to levels that permit the site to be released for unrestricted use shortly after the cessation of plant operations.
The rule also placed limits on the time allowed to complete the decommissioning process. For SAFSTOR, the process is restricted in overall duration to 60 years, unless it can be shown that a longer duration is necessary to protect public health and safety. The guidelines for ENTOMB are similar, providing the NRC with both sufficient leverage and flexibility to ensure that these deferred options are only used in situations where it is reasonable and consistent with the definition of decommissioning. At the conclusion of a 60-year dormancy period (or longer for ENTOMB if the NRC approves such a case), the site would still require significant remediation to meet the unrestricted release limits for license termination.
The ENTOMB alternative has not been viewed as a viable option for power reactors due to the significant time required to isolate the long-lived radionuclides for decay to permissible levels. However, with recent rulemaking permitting the controlled release of a site, the NRC has re-evaluated this alternative.[4] The resulting feasibility study, based upon an assessment by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, concluded that the method did have conditional merit for some, if not most, reactors. However, the staff also found that additional rulemaking would be needed before this option could be treated as a generic alternative. The NRC had considered rulemaking to alter the 60-year time for completing decommissioning and to clarify the use of engineered barriers for reactor entombments.[5] However, the NRCs staff has recommended that rulemaking be deferred, based upon several factors, e.g., no licensee has committed to pursuing the entombment option, the unresolved issues associated with the disposition of greater-than-Class C material (GTCC), and the NRCs current priorities, at least until after the additional research studies are complete. The Commission concurred with the staffs recommendation.

The NRC published amendments to its decommissioning regulations in 1996.[6]
When the regulations were originally adopted in 1988, it was assumed that the majority of licensees would decommission at the end of the facilitys operating licensed life. Since that time, several licensees permanently and prematurely ceased operations. Exemptions from certain operating requirements were required once the reactor was defueled to facilitate the decommissioning. Each case was handled individually, without clearly defined generic requirements.
The NRC amended the decommissioning regulations in 1996 to clarify ambiguities and codify procedures and terminology as a means of enhancing efficiency and uniformity in the decommissioning process. The new amendments allow for greater public participation and better define the transition process from operations to decommissioning.
Under the revised regulations, licensees will submit written certification to the NRC within 30 days after the decision to cease operations. Certification will also be required once the fuel is permanently removed from the reactor vessel.
Submittal of these notices will entitle the licensee to a fee reduction and eliminate the obligation to follow certain requirements needed only during operation of the reactor. Within two years of submitting notice of permanent cessation of operations, the licensee is required to submit a Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR) to the NRC. The PSDAR describes the planned decommissioning activities, the associated sequence and
- schedule, and an estimate of expected costs.
Prior to completing decommissioning, the licensee is required to submit applications to the NRC to terminate the license, which will include a License Termination Plan (LTP).
1.3.1 Nuclear Waste Policy Act Congress passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act[7] (NWPA) in 1982, assigning the responsibility for disposal of the spent nuclear fuel created by the commercial nuclear generating plants to the DOE. Two permanent disposal facilities were envisioned, as well as an interim storage facility. To recover the cost, the legislation created a Nuclear Waste Fund through which money is collected from the sale of electricity generated by the power plants. NWPA, along with the individual disposal contracts with the utilities, specified that the DOE was to begin accepting spent fuel by January 31, 1998.
Since the original legislation, the DOE has announced several delays in the program schedule. By January 1998, the DOE had failed to initiate the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high level waste, as required by the NWPA and utility contracts. Delays continue and, as a result,
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 1, Page 5 of 8 TLG Services, Inc.
generators have initiated legal action against the DOE in an attempt to resolve the impasse.[8]
Operation of DOEs yet-to-be constructed repository is contingent upon the review and approval of the facilitys license application by the NRC and the successful resolution of pending litigation. The DOE submitted its license application to the NRC on June 3, 2008, seeking authorization to construct the repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. The NRC formally docketed the DOEs license application on September 8, 2008, triggering a three-year deadline, with a possible one-year extension, set by Congress for the NRC to decide on whether to authorize construction.
Construction, if adequately funded, could take five to six years after the DOE receives authorization to proceed. For purposes of this analysis, Exelon has assumed that DOE would begin to receive commercial spent fuel in 2018.
Once the repository is operational, fuel acceptance will be prioritized and spent fuel assemblies will need to meet certain acceptance criteria, including heat output. These conditions require that the fuel discharged upon the cessation of operations be actively cooled and stored for a minimum period at the generating site prior to transfer (five years as defined in 10CFR§961 for standard fuel). As such, the NRC requires that licensees establish a program to manage and provide funding for the management of all irradiated fuel at the reactor until title of the fuel is transferred to the Secretary of Energy, pursuant to 10CFR§50.54(bb).[9]
This funding requirement is fulfilled through inclusion of certain cost elements in the decommissioning estimate, for example, associated with the isolation and continued operation of the spent fuel pool and ISFSI.
At shutdown, the fuel storage pool is expected to contain freshly discharged assemblies (from the most recent refueling cycles) as well as the final reactor core. Over the next five and one-half years (from the cessation of Unit 2 operations) the assemblies are packaged into multipurpose canisters for transfer to the ISFSI. It is assumed that this period provides the necessary cooling for the final core to meet on site storage system requirements for decay heat.
An independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) has been constructed to support plant operations. It is expected that this facility will also be available to support decommissioning operations. In two of the scenarios evaluated, the ISFSI is expanded to accommodate the inventory
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 1, Page 6 of 8 TLG Services, Inc.
of spent fuel residing in the plants storage pool at the conclusion of the required cooling period. Once emptied, the fuel handling building can be either decontaminated and dismantled or prepared for long-term storage.
In the Delayed DECON scenario, the storage pool remains operational and is used for the interim storage of the fuel, concurrent with the ISFSI operations.
The DOEs generator allocation/receipt schedules are based upon the oldest fuel receiving the highest priority. For purposes of this analysis, the acceptance of commercial spent fuel by the DOE is expected to begin in 2018. Given this scenario and an anticipated rate of transfer, spent fuel is projected to remain at the Braidwood site for approximately 18 years after the cessation of operations at Unit 2. Consequently, costs are included within the analysis for the continued operation of the storage pool and the expansion of the ISFSI, as required, and for the long-term caretaking of the spent fuel at the site until the year 2065.
Exelons strongly held position is that the DOE has a contractual obligation to accept Braidwoods fuel in a timely manner and consistent with its contract commitments. No assumption made in this study should be interpreted to be inconsistent with this claim. However, at this time, including the cost of storing spent fuel in this study is the most reasonable approach because it insures the availability of sufficient decommissioning funds at the end of the stations life if, contrary to its contractual obligation, the DOE has not performed.
1.3.2 Low-Level Radioactive Waste Acts The contaminated and activated material generated in the decontamination and dismantling of a commercial nuclear reactor is classified as low-level (radioactive) waste, although not all of the material is suitable for shallow-land disposal. Congress passed the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act in 1980,[10] declaring the states as being ultimately responsible for the disposition of low-level radioactive waste generated within their own borders. The federal law encouraged the formation of regional groups or compacts to implement this objective safely, efficiently, and economically, and set a target date of 1986 for implementation. After little progress, the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1985,[11] extended the implementation schedule, with specific milestones and stiff sanctions for non-compliance. However, to date, no new compact facilities have been successfully sited, licensed, and constructed.
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 1, Page 7 of 8 TLG Services, Inc.
Until recently, there were two facilities available to Exelon for the disposal of low-level radioactive waste generated by Braidwood. As of July 1, 2008, however, the facility in Barnwell, South Carolina was closed to generators outside the Atlantic Compact (comprised of the states of Connecticut, New Jersey and South Carolina). This leaves the facility in Clive, Utah, operated by EnergySolutions, as the only available destination for low-level radioactive waste requiring controlled disposal.
EnergySolutions does not have a license to dispose of the more highly radioactive waste (Class B and C as defined by 10 CFR §61) generated in the dismantling of the reactor vessel. In the interim (at least until new waste disposal options become available) and for purposes of this analysis, waste disposal costs for this material are based upon Exelons previously negotiated cost of disposal at the Barnwell site.
Material exceeding Class C limits (limited to material closest to the reactor core and comprising a small percentage of the total waste volume) is generally not suitable for shallow-land disposal. This material is packaged in the same multipurpose canisters used for spent fuel storage/transport and designated for geologic disposal.
A significant portion of the metallic waste generated during decommissioning may only be potentially contaminated by radioactive materials. This waste can be surveyed on site or shipped off site to licensed facilities for further analysis, for processing and/or for conditioning/recovery. Reduction in the volume of low-level radioactive waste requiring disposal in a licensed low-level radioactive waste disposal facility can be accomplished through a variety of methods, including analyses and surveys or decontamination to eliminate the portion of waste that does not require disposal as radioactive waste, compaction, incineration or metal melt. The estimates reflect the savings from waste recovery/volume reduction.
1.3.3 Radiological Criteria for License Termination In 1997, the NRC published Subpart E, Radiological Criteria for License Termination,[12] amending 10 CFR §20. This subpart provides radiological criteria for releasing a facility for unrestricted use. The regulation states that the site can be released for unrestricted use if radioactivity levels are such that the average member of a critical group would not receive a Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) in excess of
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 1, Page 8 of 8 TLG Services, Inc.
25 millirem per year, and provided that residual radioactivity has been reduced to levels that are As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA).
The decommissioning estimates for Braidwood assume that the site will be remediated to a residual level consistent with the NRC-prescribed level.
It should be noted that the NRC and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) differ on the amount of residual radioactivity considered acceptable in site remediation. The EPA has two limits that apply to radioactive materials. An EPA limit of 15 millirem per year is derived from criteria established by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund).[13]
An additional limit of 4 millirem per year, as defined in 40 CFR §141.16, is applied to drinking water.[14]
On October 9, 2002, the NRC signed an agreement with the EPA on the radiological decommissioning and decontamination of NRC-licensed sites. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)[15] provides that EPA will defer exercise of authority under CERCLA for the majority of facilities decommissioned under NRC authority. The MOU also includes provisions for NRC and EPA consultation for certain sites when, at the time of license termination, (1) groundwater contamination exceeds EPA-permitted levels; (2) NRC contemplates restricted release of the site; and/or (3) residual radioactive soil concentrations exceed levels defined in the MOU.
The MOU does not impose any new requirements on NRC licensees and should reduce the involvement of the EPA with NRC licensees who are decommissioning. Most sites are expected to meet the NRC criteria for unrestricted use, and the NRC believes that only a few sites will have groundwater or soil contamination in excess of the levels specified in the MOU that trigger consultation with the EPA. However, if there are other hazardous materials on the site, the EPA may be involved in the cleanup. As such, the possibility of dual regulation remains for certain licensees. The present study does not include any costs for this occurrence.

- 2. DECOMMISSIONING ALTERNATIVES Detailed cost estimates were developed to decommission Braidwood for three variations of the approved decommissioning alternatives: DECON and SAFSTOR.
Although the scenarios differ with respect to technique, process, cost, and schedule, they attain the same result: the ultimate release of the site for unrestricted use.
The following scenarios were evaluated and are representative of the alternatives available to the owner. The scenarios assume that the units operate for 60 years, followed by a planned and scheduled shutdown.
- 1.
DECON: The first scenario assumes that the two units are promptly decommissioned as an integrated activity. Spent fuel in the wet storage pool is relocated to the ISFSI so as to facilitate decontamination and dismantling activities within the fuel handling building. Spent fuel storage operations continue at the site, independent of decommissioning operations, until the transfer of the fuel to the DOE is complete, assumed for purposes of this study to be in the year 2065. At that time, the ISFSI is decommissioned and the site released for alternative use.
- 2.
Delayed DECON: In the second scenario, the units are prepared for an abbreviated period of safe-storage. The spent fuel resident in the fuel handling buildings storage pool, remains in the pool until it can be transferred to the DOE (i.e., the ISFSI is not used to off-load the pool following the cessation of operations). Spent fuel placed at the ISFSI during operations remains in storage until the pool is emptied at which time the ISFSI is also emptied.
Decommissioning is scheduled to commence once the transfer of the fuel to the DOE is complete (i.e., in the year 2065).
- 3.
SAFSTOR: The units are also placed into safe-storage in the third scenario.
However, decommissioning is deferred beyond the fuel storage period to the maximum extent permitted by the current regulations. Similar to the DECON alternative, the spent fuel in the wet storage pool is relocated to the ISFSI for interim storage. The units remain in protective storage following the removal of spent fuel from the site. Decommissioning operations commence such that license termination is completed within the required 60-year period. As with the first two scenarios, decommissioning activities at the two units are sequenced and integrated so as to minimize the total duration of the physical dismantling process.
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 2, Page 2 of 13 TLG Services, Inc.
The following sections describe the basic activities associated with each alternative.
Although detailed procedures for each activity identified are not provided, and the actual sequence of work may vary, the activity descriptions provide a basis not only for estimating but also for the expected scope of work (i.e., engineering and planning at the time of decommissioning).
The conceptual approach that the NRC has described in its regulations divides decommissioning into three phases. The initial phase commences with the effective date of permanent cessation of operations and involves the transition of both plant and licensee from reactor operations (i.e., power production) to facilitate de-activation and closure. During the first phase, notification is to be provided to the NRC certifying the permanent cessation of operations and the removal of fuel from the reactor vessel. The licensee would then be prohibited from reactor operation.
The second phase encompasses activities during the storage period or during major decommissioning activities, or a combination of the two. The third phase pertains to the activities involved in license termination. The decommissioning estimates developed for Braidwood are also divided into phases or periods; however, demarcation of the phases is based upon major milestones within the project or significant changes in the projected expenditures.
2.1 DECON The DECON alternative, as defined by the NRC, is "the alternative in which the equipment, structures, and portions of a facility and site containing radioactive contaminants are removed or decontaminated to a level that permits the property to be released for unrestricted use shortly after cessation of operations." This study does not address the cost to dispose of the spent fuel residing at the site; such costs are funded through a surcharge on electrical generation. However, the study does estimate the costs incurred with the interim on-site storage of the fuel pending shipment by the DOE to an off-site disposal facility.
2.1.1 Period 1 - Preparations In anticipation of the cessation of plant operations, detailed preparations are undertaken to provide a smooth transition from plant operations to site decommissioning. Through implementation of a staffing transition plan, the organization required to manage the intended decommissioning activities is assembled from available plant staff and outside resources. Preparations include the planning for permanent defueling of the reactor, revision of technical specifications
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 2, Page 3 of 13 TLG Services, Inc.
applicable to the operating conditions and requirements, a
characterization of the facility and major components, and the development of the PSDAR.
Engineering and Planning The PSDAR, required within two years of the notice to cease operations, provides a description of the licensees planned decommissioning activities, a timetable, and the associated financial requirements of the intended decommissioning program. Upon receipt of the PSDAR, the NRC will make the document available to the public for comment in a local meeting to be held in the vicinity of the reactor site. Ninety days following submittal and NRC receipt of the PSDAR, the licensee may begin to perform major decommissioning activities under a modified 10 CFR §50.59 procedure, i.e., without specific NRC approval. Major activities are defined as any activity that results in permanent removal of major radioactive components, permanently modifies the structure of the containment, or results in dismantling components (for shipment) containing GTCC, as defined by 10 CFR §61. Major components are further defined as comprising the reactor vessel and internals, large bore reactor coolant system piping, and other large components that are radioactive. The NRC includes the following additional criteria for use of the §50.59 process in decommissioning. The proposed activity must not:
foreclose release of the site for possible unrestricted use,
significantly increase decommissioning costs,
cause any significant environmental impact, or
violate the terms of the licensees existing license.
Existing operational technical specifications are reviewed and modified to reflect plant conditions and the safety concerns associated with permanent cessation of operations.
The environmental impact associated with the planned decommissioning activities is also considered. Typically, a licensee will not be allowed to proceed if the consequences of a particular decommissioning activity are greater than that bounded by previously evaluated environmental assessments or impact statements. In this instance, the licensee would have to submit a license amendment for the specific activity and update the environmental report.
The decommissioning program outlined in the PSDAR will be designed to accomplish the required tasks within the ALARA guidelines (as
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 2, Page 4 of 13 TLG Services, Inc.
defined in 10 CFR §20) for protection of personnel from exposure to radiation hazards. It will also address the continued protection of the health and safety of the public and the environment during the dismantling activity. Consequently, with the development of the PSDAR, activity specifications, cost-benefit and safety analyses, and work packages and procedures, would be assembled to support the proposed decontamination and dismantling activities.
Site Preparations Following final plant shutdown, and in preparation for actual decommissioning activities, the following activities are initiated:
Characterization of the site and surrounding environs. This includes radiation surveys of work areas, major components (including the reactor vessel and its internals), internal piping, and biological shield cores.
Isolation of the spent fuel storage pool and fuel handling systems, such that decommissioning operations can commence on the balance of the plant. Decommissioning operations are scheduled around the fuel handling areas to optimize the overall project schedule. The fuel is transferred to the ISFSI as it decays to the point that it meets the heat load criteria of the containers. Consequently, it is assumed that the fuel pool remains operational for approximately five and one-half years following the cessation of Unit 2 operations.
Specification of transport and disposal requirements for activated materials and/or hazardous materials, including shielding and waste stabilization.
Development of procedures for occupational exposure control, control and release of liquid and gaseous effluent, processing of radwaste (including dry-active waste, resins, filter media, metallic and non-metallic components generated in decommissioning), site security and emergency programs, and industrial safety.
2.1.2 Period 2 - Decommissioning Operations This period includes the physical decommissioning activities associated with the removal and disposal of contaminated and activated components and structures, including the successful termination of the 10 CFR §50 operating license. Significant decommissioning activities in this phase include:

Construction of temporary facilities and/or modification of existing facilities to support dismantling activities. This may include a centralized processing area to facilitate equipment removal and component preparations for off-site disposal.
Reconfiguration and modification of site structures and facilities as needed to support decommissioning operations. This may include the upgrading of roads (on-and off-site) to facilitate hauling and transport. Modifications may be required to the containment structure to facilitate access of large/heavy equipment. Modifications may also be required to the refueling area of the building to support the segmentation of the reactor vessel internals and component extraction.
Design and fabrication of temporary and permanent shielding to support removal and transportation activities, construction of contamination control envelopes, and the procurement of specialty tooling.
Procurement (lease or purchase) of shipping canisters, cask liners, and industrial packages.
Decontamination of components and piping systems as required to control (minimize) worker exposure.
Removal of piping and components no longer essential to support decommissioning operations.
Removal of control rod drive housings and the head service structure from reactor vessel head. Segmentation of the vessel closure head.
Removal and segmentation of the upper internals assemblies.
Segmentation will maximize the loading of the shielded transport casks (i.e., by weight and activity). The operations are conducted under water using remotely operated tooling and contamination controls.
Disassembly and segmentation of the remaining reactor internals, including the core former and lower core support assembly. Some material is expected to exceed Class C disposal requirements. As such, the segments will be packaged in modified fuel storage canisters for geologic disposal.
Segmentation of the reactor vessel. A shielded platform is installed for segmentation as cutting operations are performed in-air using remotely operated equipment within a contamination control envelope. The water level is maintained just below the cut to
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 2, Page 6 of 13 TLG Services, Inc.
minimize the working area dose rates. Segments are transferred in-air to containers that are stored under water, for example, in an isolated area of the refueling canal.
Removal of the activated portions of the concrete biological shield and accessible contaminated concrete surfaces. If dictated by the steam generator and pressurizer removal scenarios, those portions of the associated steam generator cubicles necessary for access and component extraction are removed.
Removal of the steam generators and pressurizer for material recovery and controlled disposal. These components can serve as their own burial containers provided that all penetrations are properly sealed and the internal contaminants are stabilized (e.g.,
with lightweight grout). Steel shielding is added, as necessary, to those external areas of the package to meet transportation limits and regulations.
Transfer of the spent fuel from the storage pool to the ISFSI pad for interim storage.
Expansion of the ISFSI and transfer of the spent fuel from the storage pool to the ISFSI pad for interim storage. Spent fuel storage operations continue throughout the active decommissioning period.
Fuel transfer is expected to begin in 2061 and to be completed by the end of the year 2065.
At least two years prior to the anticipated date of license termination, an LTP is required. Submitted as a supplement to the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) or its equivalent, the plan must include: a site characterization, description of the remaining dismantling activities, plans for site remediation, procedures for the final radiation survey, designation of the end use of the site, an updated cost estimate to complete the decommissioning, and any associated environmental concerns. The NRC will notice the receipt of the plan, make the plan available for public comment, and schedule a local meeting. LTP approval will be subject to any conditions and limitations as deemed appropriate by the Commission. The licensee may then commence with the final remediation of site facilities and services, including:
Removal of remaining plant systems and associated components as they become nonessential to the decommissioning program or worker health and safety (e.g., waste collection and treatment systems, electrical power and ventilation systems).
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 2, Page 7 of 13 TLG Services, Inc.
Removal of the steel liners from the refueling canal, disposing of the activated and contaminated sections as radioactive waste. Removal of any activated/ contaminated concrete.
Surveys of the decontaminated areas of the containment structures.
Removal of the contaminated equipment and material from the auxiliary and fuel buildings, and any other contaminated facility.
Use radiation and contamination control techniques until radiation surveys indicate that the structures and equipment can be released for unrestricted access and conventional demolition. This activity may necessitate the dismantling and disposition of most of the systems and components (both clean and contaminated) located within these buildings. This activity will facilitate surface decontamination and subsequent verification surveys required prior to obtaining release for demolition.
Removal of the remaining components, equipment, and plant services in support of the area release survey(s).
Routing of material removed in the decontamination and dismantling to a central processing area. Material certified to be free of contamination is released for unrestricted disposition (e.g., as scrap, recycle, or general disposal). Contaminated material is characterized and segregated for additional off-site processing (disassembly, chemical cleaning, volume reduction, and waste treatment), and/or packaged for controlled disposal at a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility.
Incorporated into the LTP is the Final Survey Plan. This plan identifies the radiological surveys to be performed once the decontamination activities are completed and is developed using the guidance provided in the Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM).[16] This document incorporates the statistical approaches to survey design and data interpretation used by the EPA. It also identifies commercially available instrumentation and procedures for conducting radiological surveys. Use of this guidance ensures that the surveys are conducted in a manner that provides a high degree of confidence that applicable NRC criteria are satisfied. Once the survey is complete, the results are provided to the NRC in a format that can be verified. The NRC then reviews and evaluates the information, performs an independent confirmation of radiological site conditions, and makes a determination on final termination of the license.
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 2, Page 8 of 13 TLG Services, Inc.
The NRC will terminate the operating license when it determines that site remediation has been performed in accordance with the LTP, and that the terminal radiation survey and associated documentation demonstrate that the facility is suitable for release.
2.1.3 Period 3 - Site Restoration Following completion of decommissioning operations, site restoration activities will begin. Efficient removal of the contaminated materials and verification that residual radionuclide concentrations are below the NRC limits will result in substantial damage to many of the structures.
Although performed in a controlled, safe manner, blasting, coring, drilling, scarification (surface removal), and the other decontamination activities will substantially degrade power block structures including the reactor and auxiliary buildings. Under certain circumstances, verifying that subsurface radionuclide concentrations meet NRC site release requirements will require removal of grade slabs and lower floors, potentially weakening footings and structural supports. This removal activity will be necessary for those facilities and plant areas where historical records, when available, indicate the potential for radionuclides having been present in the soil, where system failures have been recorded, or where it is required to confirm that subsurface process and drain lines were not breached over the operating life of the station.
Prompt dismantling of site structures is clearly the most appropriate and cost-effective option. It is unreasonable to anticipate that these structures would be repaired and preserved after the radiological contamination is removed. The cost to dismantle site structures with a work force already mobilized on site is more efficient than if the process were deferred. Site facilities quickly degrade without maintenance, adding additional expense and creating potential hazards to the public as well as to future workers. Abandonment creates a breeding ground for vermin infestation as well as other biological hazards.
This cost study presumes that non-essential structures and site facilities are dismantled as a continuation of the decommissioning activity.
Foundations and exterior walls are removed to a nominal depth of three feet below grade. The three-foot depth allows for the placement of gravel for drainage, as well as topsoil, so that vegetation can be established for erosion control. Site areas affected by the dismantling activities are
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 2, Page 9 of 13 TLG Services, Inc.
restored and the plant area graded as required to prevent ponding and inhibit the refloating of subsurface materials.
Concrete rubble produced by demolition activities is processed to remove rebar and miscellaneous embedments. The processed material is then used on site to backfill voids. Excess materials are trucked to an off-site area for disposal as construction debris.
2.1.4 ISFSI Operations and Decommissioning The ISFSI will continue to operate under the general license provisions of 10 CFR §72 following the termination of the §50 operating license.
Assuming the DOE starts accepting fuel in 2018, transfer of spent fuel from Braidwood is anticipated to begin in 2061 and continue through the year 2065.
At the conclusion of the spent fuel transfer process, the ISFSI will be decommissioned. The Commission will terminate the §72 license when it determines that the remediation of the ISFSI has been performed in accordance with an ISFSI license termination plan and that the final radiation survey and associated documentation demonstrate that the facility is suitable for release. Once the requirements are satisfied, the NRC can terminate the license for the ISFSI.
The assumed design for the ISFSI is based upon the use of a multi-purpose canister and a concrete overpack for pad storage. For purposes of this cost analysis, it is assumed that once the inner canisters containing the spent fuel assemblies have been removed, any required decontamination performed, and the license for the facility terminated, the modules can be dismantled using conventional techniques for the demolition of reinforced concrete. The concrete storage pad will then be removed, and the area graded and landscaped to conform to the surrounding environment.
2.2 SAFSTOR and DELAYED DECON The NRC defines SAFSTOR as "the alternative in which the nuclear facility is placed and maintained in a condition that allows the nuclear facility to be safely stored and subsequently decontaminated (deferred decontamination) to levels that permit release for unrestricted use." The facility is left intact (during the dormancy period), with structures maintained in a sound condition. Systems not required to operate in support of the spent fuel pool or
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 2, Page 10 of 13 TLG Services, Inc.
site surveillance and security are drained, de-energized, and secured. Minimal cleaning/removal of loose contamination and/or fixation and sealing of remaining contamination are performed. Access to contaminated areas is secured to provide controlled access for inspection and maintenance.
The engineering and planning requirements are similar to those for the DECON alternative. Site preparations are also similar to those for the DECON alternative. However, with the exception of the required radiation surveys and site characterizations, the mobilization and preparation of site facilities is less extensive.
The following discussion is appropriate for both the SAFSTOR and Delayed DECON scenarios, the primary differences being in the length of the dormancy period. In the Delayed DECON scenario, the fuel remains in the fuel handling buildings storage pool until such time that the transfer to a DOE facility is complete. Decommissioning operations are assumed to begin once fuel is off site. By contrast, in the SAFSTOR scenario, the spent fuel is relocated to the ISFSI. The plant remains in safe-storage even after the fuel is removed from site. Decommissioning operations are initiated such that the license is terminated within the required 60-year time period.
2.2.1 Period 1 - Preparations Preparations for long-term storage include the planning for permanent defueling of the reactors, revision of technical specifications appropriate to the operating conditions and requirements, a characterization of the facility and major components, and the development of the PSDAR.
The process of placing the plant in safe-storage includes, but is not limited to, the following activities:
Isolation of the spent fuel storage services and fuel handling systems located in the fuel handling building so that safe-storage operations may commence on the balance of the plant. This activity may be carried out by plant personnel in accordance with existing operating technical specifications. Activities are scheduled around the fuel handling systems to the greatest extent possible.
Draining and de-energizing of the non-contaminated systems not required to support continued site operations or maintenance.
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 2, Page 11 of 13 TLG Services, Inc.
Disposing of contaminated filter elements and resin beds not required for processing wastes from layup activities for future operations.
Draining of the reactor vessel, with the internals left in place and the vessel head secured.
Draining and de-energizing non-essential, contaminated systems with decontamination as required for future maintenance and inspection.
Preparing lighting and alarm systems whose continued use is required; de-energizing portions of fire protection, electric power, and HVAC systems whose continued use is not required.
Cleaning of the loose surface contamination from building access pathways.
Performing an interim radiation survey of plant, posting warning signs where appropriate.
Erecting physical barriers and/or securing all access to radioactive or contaminated areas, except as required for inspection and maintenance.
Installing security and surveillance monitoring equipment and relocating security fence around secured structures, as required.
2.2.2 Period 2 - Dormancy The second phase identified by the NRC in its rule addresses licensed activities during a storage period and is applicable to the dormancy phases of the deferred decommissioning alternatives. Dormancy activities include a 24-hour security force, preventive and corrective maintenance on security systems, area lighting, general building maintenance, heating and ventilation of buildings, routine radiological inspections of contaminated structures, maintenance of structural integrity, and a site environmental and radiation monitoring program.
Resident maintenance personnel perform equipment maintenance, inspection activities, routine services to maintain safe conditions, adequate lighting, heating, and ventilation, and periodic preventive maintenance on essential site services.
An environmental surveillance program is carried out during the dormancy period to ensure that releases of radioactive material to the environment are prevented and/or detected and controlled. Appropriate
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 2, Page 12 of 13 TLG Services, Inc.
emergency procedures are established and initiated for potential releases that exceed prescribed limits. The environmental surveillance program constitutes an abbreviated version of the program in effect during normal plant operations.
Security during the dormancy period is conducted primarily to prevent unauthorized entry and to protect the public from the consequences of their own actions. The security fence, sensors, alarms, and other surveillance equipment provide security. Fire and radiation alarms are also monitored and maintained. While remote surveillance is an option, it does not offer the immediate response time of a physical presence.
The transfer of the spent fuel to a DOE facility continues during this period until complete. Fuel is shipped exclusively from the ISFSI in the SAFSTOR scenario and from both the pool and the ISFSI in the Delayed DECON scenario.
After an optional period of storage (such that license terminations are accomplished within 60 years of final shutdown), it is required that the licensee submit applications to terminate the license, along with an LTP (described in Section 2.1.2), thereby initiating the third phase.
2.2.3 Periods 3 and 4 - Delayed Decommissioning Prior to the commencement of decommissioning operations, preparations are undertaken to reactivate site services and prepare for decommissioning. Preparations include engineering and planning, a detailed site characterization, and the assembly of a decommissioning management organization. Final planning for activities and the writing of activity specifications and detailed procedures are also initiated at this time.
Much of the work in developing a termination plan is relevant to the development of the detailed engineering plans and procedures. The activities associated with this phase and the follow-on decontamination and dismantling processes are detailed in Sections 2.1.1 and 2.1.2. The primary difference between the sequences anticipated for the DECON and deferred scenarios is the absence, in the latter, of any constraint on the availability of the fuel storage facilities located within the fuel handling building for decommissioning.
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 2, Page 13 of 13 TLG Services, Inc.
Variations in the length of the dormancy period are expected to have little effect upon the quantities of radioactive wastes generated from system and structure removal operations. Given the levels of radioactivity and spectrum of radionuclides expected from sixty years of plant operation, no plant process system identified as being contaminated upon final shutdown will become releasable due to the decay period alone (i.e., there is no significant reduction in the waste generated from the decommissioning activities). However, due to the lower activity levels, a greater percentage of the waste volume can be designated for off-site processing and recovery.
The delay in decommissioning also yields lower working area radiation levels. As such, the estimates for the delayed scenarios incorporate reduced ALARA controls for the lower occupational exposure potential.
Although the initial radiation levels due to 60Co will decrease during the dormancy period, the internal components of the reactor vessel will still exhibit sufficiently high radiation dose rates to require remote sectioning under water due to the presence of long-lived radionuclides such as 94Nb, 59Ni, and 63Ni. Therefore, the dismantling procedures described for the DECON alternative would still be employed during deferred scenarios. Portions of the biological shield will still be radioactive due to the presence of activated trace elements with long half-lives (152Eu and 154Eu). Decontamination will require controlled removal and disposal. It is assumed that radioactive corrosion products on inner surfaces of piping and components will not have decayed to levels that will permit unrestricted use or allow conventional removal.
These systems and components will be surveyed as they are removed and disposed of in accordance with the existing radioactive release criteria.
2.2.4 Period 5 - Site Restoration Following completion of decommissioning operations, site-restoration activities can begin. If the site structures are to be dismantled, dismantling as a continuation of the decommissioning process is clearly the most appropriate and cost-effective option, as described in Section 2.1.3. The basis for the dismantling cost in the deferred scenarios is consistent with that described for DECON, removal of structures and site facilities to a nominal depth of three feet below grade and limited restoration of the site.
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 1 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
- 3. COST ESTIMATE The cost estimates prepared for decommissioning Braidwood consider the unique features of the site, including the NSSS, power generation systems, support services, site buildings, and ancillary facilities. The basis of the estimates, including the sources of information relied upon, the estimating methodology employed, site-specific considerations, and other pertinent assumptions, is described in this section.
3.1 BASIS OF ESTIMATE The estimates were developed with site-specific, technical information developed in an evaluation prepared for Exelon in 2004. The information was reviewed for the current analysis and updated as deemed appropriate. The site-specific considerations and assumptions used in the previous evaluation were also revisited. Modifications were incorporated where new information was available or experience from ongoing decommissioning programs provided viable alternatives or improved processes.
3.2 METHODOLOGY The methodology used to develop the estimates follows the basic approach originally presented in the AIF/NESP-036 study report, "Guidelines for Producing Commercial Nuclear Power Plant Decommissioning Cost Estimates,"[17]
and the DOE "Decommissioning Handbook."[18]
These documents present a unit factor method for estimating decommissioning activity costs, which simplifies the estimating calculations. Unit factors for concrete removal ($/cubic yard), steel removal ($/ton), and cutting costs ($/inch) were developed using local labor rates. The activity-dependent costs were estimated with the item quantities (cubic yards and tons), developed from plant drawings and inventory documents. Removal rates and material costs for the conventional disposition of components and structures relied upon information available in the industry publication, "Building Construction Cost Data," published by R.S. Means.[19]
This analysis reflects lessons learned from TLGs involvement in the Shippingport Station Decommissioning Project, completed in 1989, as well as the decommissioning of the Cintichem reactor, hot cells, and associated facilities, completed in 1997. In addition, the planning and engineering for the Pathfinder, Shoreham, Rancho Seco, Trojan, Yankee Rowe, Big Rock Point, Maine Yankee, Humboldt Bay-3, Oyster Creek, Connecticut Yankee, and San
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 2 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
Onofre-1 nuclear units have provided additional insight into the process, the regulatory aspects, and the technical challenges of decommissioning commercial nuclear units.
The unit factor method provides a demonstrable basis for establishing reliable cost estimates. The detail provided in the unit factors, including activity duration, labor costs (by craft), and equipment and consumable costs, ensures that essential elements have not been omitted. Appendix A presents the detailed development of a typical unit factor. Appendix B provides the values contained within one set of factors developed for this analysis.
Work Difficulty Factors TLG has historically applied work difficulty adjustment factors (WDFs) to account for the inefficiencies in working in a power plant environment. WDFs were assigned to each unique set of unit factors, commensurate with the inefficiencies associated with working in confined, hazardous environments.
The ranges used for the WDFs are as follows:
Access Factor 10% to 20%
Respiratory Protection Factor 10% to 50%
Radiation/ALARA Factor 10% to 40%
Protective Clothing Factor 10% to 30%
Work Break Factor 8.33%
The factors and their associated range of values were developed in conjunction with the AIF/NESP-036 study. The application of the factors is discussed in more detail in that publication.
Scheduling Program Durations The unit factors, adjusted by the WDFs as described above, are applied against the inventory of materials to be removed in the radiologically controlled areas.
The resulting man-hours, or crew-hours, are used in the development of the decommissioning program schedule, using resource loading and event sequencing considerations. The scheduling of conventional removal and dismantling activities are based upon productivity information available from the "Building Construction Cost Data" publication.
An activity duration critical path is used to determine the total decommissioning program schedule. The schedule is relied upon in calculating the carrying costs, which include program management, administration, field
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 3 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
engineering, equipment rental, and support services such as quality control and security. This systematic approach for assembling decommissioning estimates ensures a high degree of confidence in the reliability of the resulting cost estimate.
3.3 PLANT INVENTORY The basis for any site-specific decommissioning estimate is the plant inventory. The inventory dictates the decontamination, removal, packaging, transport and disposal requirements and the associated performance cost.
Material disposition requirements impact the project schedule and are reflected in the level of management needed to support the project.
Consequently, it is important to delineate the inventory of material and components to be dispositioned during decommissioning, which in most instances is a subset of the total quantity of material placed during construction. In addition, the plant inventory needs to be defined in units that are compatible with the intended removal methods. For example, while sample panels may contain hundreds of subassemblies, the panels are removed in bulk. The disposition cost may be based upon the total weight of the panel and the lifting devices required rather than by disassembly of the individual components. In contrast to plant operations, the most important parameter in decommissioning can be the components mass or materials of construction and not its design performance.
3.3.1 Plant Systems The plant systems inventory was completely regenerated from the Byron Nuclear Power Stations site-specific database that was developed in 2009. This is appropriate since Byron and Braidwood are essentially identical in design and vintage. Byrons plant systems inventory was subsequently modified to reflect design features unique to Braidwood. Where new information was not available, the basis for the previous estimate was reviewed and, once validated, used to supplement the new inventory.
3.3.2 Plant Structures Structure inventories for the major power block structures relied upon the data from the 2004 study. A site inspection conducted in 2009 identified new buildings and security improvements at the site since the previous study was performed. These structures and site improvements were incorporated into the current estimate.
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 4 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
3.4 IMPACT OF DECOMMISSIONING MULTIPLE REACTOR UNITS In estimating the near simultaneous decommissioning of two co-located reactor units there can be opportunities to achieve economies of scale, by sharing costs between units, and coordinating the sequence of work activities. There will also be schedule constraints, particularly where there are requirements for specialty equipment and staff, or practical limitations on when final status surveys can take place. For purposes of the estimate, Units 1 and 2 are assumed to be essentially identical. Common facilities have been assigned to Unit 2. A summary of the principal impacts are listed below.
The sequence of work generally follows the principal that the work is done at Unit 1 first, followed by similar work at Unit 2. This permits the experience gained at Unit 1 to be applied by the workforce at the second unit. It should be noted however, that the estimates do not consider productivity improvements at the second unit, since there is little documented experience with decommissioning two units simultaneously The work associated with developing activity specifications and procedures can be considered essentially identical between the two units, therefore the second unit costs are assumed to be a fraction of the first unit (~ 43%).
Segmenting the reactor vessel and internals will require the use of special equipment. The decommissioning project will be scheduled such that Unit 2s reactor internals and vessel are segmented immediately after the activities at Unit 1 have been completed.
Some program management and support costs, particularly costs associated with the more senior positions, can be avoided with two reactors undergoing decommissioning simultaneously. As a result, the estimate is based on a lead unit that includes these senior positions, and a second unit that excludes these positions. The designation as lead is based on the unit undertaking the most complex tasks (for instance vessel segmentation) or performing tasks for the first time.
The final radiological survey schedule is also affected by a two-unit decommissioning schedule. It would be considered impractical to try to complete the final status survey of Unit 1, while Unit 2 still has ongoing radiological remediation work and waste handling in process. As such, the transfer of the spent fuel from the storage pool and subsequent decontamination of the fuel handling building is coordinated so as to synchronize the final status survey for the station.
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 5 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
The final demolition of buildings at Units 1 and 2 are considered to take place concurrently. This is considered a reasonable assumption since access to the buildings is considered good at the station.
Unit 1, as the first unit to enter decommissioning, incurs the majority of site characterization costs.
Shared systems and structures are generally assigned to Unit 2.
Station costs such as emergency response fees, regulatory agency fees, corporate overhead, and insurance are generally allocated on an equal basis between the two units.
3.5 FINANCIAL COMPONENTS OF THE COST MODEL TLGs proprietary decommissioning cost model, DECCER, produces a number of distinct cost elements. These direct expenditures, however, do not comprise the total cost to accomplish the project goal, i.e., license termination and site restoration.
Inherent in any cost estimate that does not rely on historical data is the inability to specify the precise source of costs imposed by factors such as tool breakage, accidents, illnesses, weather delays, and labor stoppages. In the DECCER cost model, contingency fulfills this role. Contingency is added to each line item to account for costs that are difficult or impossible to develop analytically. Such costs are historically inevitable over the duration of a job of this magnitude; therefore, this cost analysis includes funds to cover these types of expenses.
3.5.1 Contingency The activity-and period-dependent costs are combined to develop the total decommissioning cost. A contingency is then applied on a line-item basis, using one or more of the contingency types listed in the AIF/NESP-036 study. "Contingencies" are defined in the American Association of Cost Engineers Project and Cost Engineers' Handbook[20]
as "specific provision for unforeseeable elements of cost within the defined project scope; particularly important where previous experience relating estimates and actual costs has shown that unforeseeable events which will increase costs are likely to occur." The cost elements in this analysis are based upon ideal conditions and maximum efficiency; therefore, consistent with industry practice, a contingency factor has been applied. In the AIF/NESP-036 study, the types of unforeseeable events that are likely to occur in decommissioning are discussed and
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 6 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
guidelines are provided for percentage contingency in each category. It should be noted that contingency, as used in this analysis, does not account for price escalation and inflation in the cost of decommissioning over the remaining operating life of the station.
The use and role of contingency within decommissioning estimates is not a safety factor issue. Safety factors provide additional security and address situations that may never occur. Contingency funds are expected to be fully expended throughout the program. They also provide assurance that sufficient funding is available to accomplish the intended tasks. An estimate without contingency, or from which contingency has been removed, can disrupt the orderly progression of events and jeopardize a successful conclusion to the decommissioning process.
For
- example, the most technologically challenging task in decommissioning a commercial nuclear station is the disposition of the reactor vessel and internal components, now highly radioactive after a lifetime of exposure to core activity. The disposition of these components forms the basis of the critical path (schedule) for decommissioning operations. Cost and schedule are interdependent, and any deviation in schedule has a significant impact on cost for performing a specific activity.
Disposition of the reactor vessel internals involves the underwater cutting of complex components that are highly radioactive. Costs are based upon optimum segmentation, handling, and packaging scenarios.
The schedule is primarily dependent upon the turnaround time for the heavily shielded shipping casks, including preparation, loading, and decontamination of the containers for transport. The number of casks required is a function of the pieces generated in the segmentation activity, a value calculated on optimum performance of the tooling employed in cutting the various subassemblies. The expected optimization, however, may not be achieved, resulting in delays and additional program costs. For this reason, contingency must be included to mitigate the consequences of the expected inefficiencies inherent in this complex activity, along with related concerns associated with the operation of highly specialized tooling, field conditions, and water clarity.
Contingency funds are an integral part of the total cost to complete the decommissioning process. Exclusion of this component puts at risk a
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 7 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
successful completion of the intended tasks and, potentially, subsequent related activities. For this study, TLG examined the major activity-related problems (decontamination, segmentation, equipment handling, packaging, transport, and waste disposal) that necessitate a
contingency. Individual activity contingencies ranged from 10% to 75%,
depending on the degree of difficulty judged to be appropriate from TLGs actual decommissioning experience. The contingency values used in this study are as follows:
Decontamination 50%
Contaminated Component Removal 25%
Contaminated Component Packaging 10%
Contaminated Component Transport 15%
Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal 25%
Reactor Segmentation 75%
NSSS Component Removal 25%
Reactor Waste Packaging 25%
Reactor Waste Transport 25%
Reactor Vessel Component Disposal 50%
GTCC Disposal 15%
Non-Radioactive Component Removal 15%
Heavy Equipment and Tooling 15%
Supplies 25%
Engineering 15%
Energy 15%
Characterization and Termination Surveys 30%
Construction 15%
Taxes and Fees 10%
Insurance 10%
Staffing 15%
The contingency values are applied to the appropriate components of the estimates on a line item basis. A composite value is then reported at the end of each estimate. For example, the composite contingency values reported for the DECON alternative are 18.3% and 18.2% for Units 1 and 2, respectively. Values for the other alternatives are delineated within the detailed cost tables in Appendices D and E.

3.5.2 Financial Risk In addition to the routine uncertainties addressed by contingency, another cost element that is sometimes necessary to consider when bounding decommissioning costs relates to uncertainty, or risk.
Examples can include changes in work scope, pricing, job performance, and other variations that could conceivably, but not necessarily, occur.
Consideration is sometimes necessary to generate a level of confidence in the estimate, within a range of probabilities. TLG considers these types of costs under the broad term financial risk. Included within the category of financial risk are:
Transition activities and costs: ancillary expenses associated with eliminating 50% to 80% of the site labor force shortly after the cessation of plant operations, added cost for worker separation packages throughout the decommissioning program, national or company-mandated retraining, and retention incentives for key personnel.
Delays in approval of the decommissioning plan due to intervention, public participation in local community meetings, legal challenges, and national and local hearings.
Changes in the project work scope from the baseline estimate, involving the discovery of unexpected levels of contaminants, contamination in places not previously expected, contaminated soil previously undiscovered (either radioactive or hazardous material contamination), variations in plant inventory or configuration not indicated by the as-built drawings.
Regulatory changes (e.g., affecting worker health and safety, site release criteria, waste transportation, and disposal).
Policy decisions altering national commitments (e.g., in the ability to accommodate certain waste forms for disposition or in the timetable for such, for example, in the start and rate of acceptance of spent fuel by the DOE).
Pricing changes for basic inputs, such as labor, energy, materials, and burial.
This cost study does not add any additional cost to the estimate for financial risk since there is insufficient historical data from which to project future liabilities. Consequently, the areas of uncertainty or risk

are revisited periodically and addressed through repeated revisions or updates of the base estimate.
3.6 SITE-SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS There are a number of site-specific considerations that affect the method for dismantling and removal of equipment from the site and the degree of restoration required. The cost impacts of the considerations identified below are included in this cost study.
3.6.1 Spent Fuel Management The cost to dispose of spent fuel generated from plant operations is not reflected within the estimates to decommission the Braidwood site.
Ultimate disposition of the spent fuel is within the province of the DOEs Waste Management System, as defined by the NWPA. As such, the disposal cost is financed by a 1 mill/kWhr surcharge paid into the DOEs waste fund during operations. However, the NRC requires licensees to establish a program to manage and provide funding for the management of all irradiated fuel at the reactors until title of the fuel is transferred to the Secretary of Energy. This funding requirement is fulfilled through inclusion of certain high-level waste cost elements within the estimate, as described below.
The total inventory of assemblies that will require handling during decommissioning is based upon several assumptions. The pickup of commercial fuel is assumed to begin in the year 2018. The maximum rate at which the fuel is removed from the commercial sites is based upon an annual capacity at the geologic repository of 3,000 metric tons of uranium (MTU). Any delay in the startup of the repository or decrease in the rate of acceptance will correspondingly prolong the transfer process and result in the fuel remaining at the site longer.
In all three scenarios, the ISFSI will continue to operate until such time that the transfer of spent fuel to the DOE can be completed. Assuming that the DOE commences repository operation in 2018, fuel is projected to be removed from the Braidwood site by the year 2065. In the Delayed DECON scenario, the ISFSI is only used to store fuel placed during plant operations. Spent fuel off-loaded from the reactors after operations cease, remains in the pool during the transfer period. The inventory of fuel assemblies located in the spent fuel pool is preferentially off-loaded as the allocations permit.
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 10 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
Operation and maintenance costs for the storage facilities (the ISFSI and the pool for the Delayed DECON scenario) are included within the estimates and address the cost for staffing the facilities, as well as security, insurance, and licensing fees. The estimates include the costs to purchase (DECON and SAFSTOR scenarios), load, and transfer the fuel storage canisters. Costs are also provided for the final disposition of the facilities once the transfer is complete.
Repository Startup Operation of the DOEs yet-to-be constructed geologic repository is contingent upon the review and approval of the facilitys license application by the NRC, the successful resolution of pending litigation, and the development of a national transportation system. The DOE submitted its license application to the NRC on June 3, 2008, seeking authorization to construct the repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.
The NRC formally docketed the DOEs license application on September 8, 2008, triggering a three-year deadline, with a possible one-year extension, set by Congress for the NRC to decide on whether to grant a construction authorization.
Construction, if adequately funded, could take five to six years after the DOE receives authorization to proceed. As such, the spent fuel management plan described in this section is predicated upon the DOE initiating the pickup of commercial fuel in the year 2018.
Spent Fuel Management Model The Exelon nuclear fleet consists of 21 units at 11 sites in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, including the inactive units at Dresden, Peach Bottom, and Zion. The ability to complete the decommissioning of these units, particularly for the DECON and Delayed DECON alternatives, is highly dependent upon when the DOE is assumed to remove spent fuel from the sites.
The DOE's repository program assumes that spent fuel will be accepted for disposal from the nation's commercial nuclear plants in the order (the "queue") in which it was removed from service ("oldest fuel first").[21]
A computer model developed by Exelon Nuclear was used to determine when the DOE would provide allocations in the queue for removal of spent fuel from the individual sites. Repository operations were based upon annual industry-wide receipt of 400 Metric Tons Heavy Metal
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 11 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
(MTHM) in the first year of operation, a total of 3,800 MTHM in years 2 through 4 and 3,000 MTHM for year 5 and beyond.[22]
ISFSIs are constructed as necessary to maintain full-core discharge capability at the individual sites. Once the DOE begins repository operations, queue allocations are used to ship spent fuel from Exelon's operating sites.
Spent fuel shipments are then made from decommissioning sites in the order of retirement.
Canister Design The design and capacity of the ISFSI is based upon a vertical cask system, with a 32-fuel assemblies capacity, is assumed for future cask acquisitions. A unit cost of $500,000 is used for pricing the internal multi-purpose canister (MPC), with an additional cost of $250,000 for the concrete storage module. The DOE is assumed to provide the MPC for fuel transferred directly from the pool to the DOE at no cost to the owner.
Canister Loading and Transfer An average cost of $250,000 is used for the labor to load/transport the spent fuel from the pool to the ISFSI pad, based upon Exelon experience.
For estimating purposes, 50% of this cost is used to estimate the cost to transfer the fuel from the ISFSI to the DOE.
Operations and Maintenance Annual costs (excluding labor) of approximately $763,000 and $88,000 are used for operation and maintenance of each spent fuel pool and the ISFSI, respectively.
ISFSI Design Considerations A multi-purpose (storage and transport) dry shielded storage canister with a vertical, reinforced concrete storage module is used as a basis for the cost analysis. The final core off load from each unit, equivalent to 14 modules, are assumed to have some level of neutron-induced activation as a result of the long-term storage of the fuel (i.e., to levels exceeding free-release limits). The cost of the disposition of this material, as well as the demolition of the ISFSI facility, is included in the estimate.
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 12 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
3.6.2 Reactor Vessel and Internal Components The NSSS (reactor vessel and reactor coolant system components) will be decontaminated using chemical agents prior to the start of cutting operations (for DECON alternative only). A decontamination factor (average reduction) of 10 is assumed for the process.
The reactor pressure vessel and internal components are segmented for disposal in shielded, reusable transportation casks. Segmentation is performed in the refueling canal, where a turntable and remote cutter are installed. The vessel is segmented in place, using a mast-mounted cutter supported off the lower head and directed from a shielded work platform installed overhead in the reactor cavity. Transportation cask specifications and transportation regulations will dictate segmentation and packaging methodology.
The dismantling of the reactor internals will generate radioactive waste considered unsuitable for shallow land disposal (i.e., GTCC). Although the material is not classified as high-level waste, the DOE has indicated it will accept this waste for disposal at the future high-level waste repository.[23] However, the DOE has not been forthcoming with an acceptance criteria or disposition schedule for this material, and numerous questions remain as to the ultimate disposal cost and waste form requirements. As such, for purposes of this study, the GTCC has been packaged and disposed of as high-level waste, at a cost equivalent to that envisioned for the spent fuel. It is not anticipated that the DOE would accept this waste prior to completing the transfer of spent fuel.
Therefore, until such time the DOE is ready to accept GTCC waste, it is reasonable to assume that this material would remain in storage at the Braidwood site.
Intact disposal of the reactor vessel and internal components can provide savings in cost and worker exposure by eliminating the complex segmentation requirements, isolation of the GTCC material, and transport/storage of the resulting waste packages. Portland General Electric (PGE) was able to dispose of the Trojan reactor as an intact package. However, its location on the Columbia River simplified the transportation analysis since:
the reactor package could be secured to the transport vehicle for the entire journey, i.e., the package was not lifted during transport,
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 13 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
there were no man-made or natural terrain features between the plant site and the disposal location that could produce a large drop, and
transport speeds were very low, limited by the overland transport vehicle and the river barge.
As a member of the Northwest Compact, PGE had a site available for disposal of the package - the US Ecology facility in Washington State.
The characteristics of this arid site proved favorable in demonstrating compliance with land disposal regulations.
It is not known whether this option will be available when Braidwood ceases operation. Future viability of this option will depend upon the ultimate location of the disposal site, as well as the disposal site licensees ability to accept highly radioactive packages and effectively isolate them from the environment. Consequently, the study assumes the reactor vessel will require segmentation, as a bounding condition.
3.6.3 Primary System Components The following discussion deals with the removal and disposition of the steam generators, but the techniques involved are also applicable to other large components, such as heat exchangers, component coolers, and the pressurizer. The steam generators size and weight, as well as their location within the reactor building, will ultimately determine the removal strategy.
A trolley crane will be set up for the removal of the generators. It can also be used to move portions of the steam generator cubicle walls and floor slabs from the reactor building to a location where they can be decontaminated and transported to the material handling area.
Interferences within the work area, such as grating, piping and other components, will be removed to create sufficient laydown space for processing these large components.
The generators will be rigged for removal, disconnected from the surrounding piping and supports, and maneuvered into the open area where they will be lowered onto a dolly. Once each steam generator has been placed in the horizontal position, nozzles and other openings will be welded closed. The lower shell will have a carbon steel membrane welded to its outside surface for shielding, if required, during transport.
The interior volume will be filled with low-density cellular concrete for
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 14 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
stabilization of the internal contamination and to satisfy burial ground packaging requirements. When this stage has been completed, each generator will be moved out of containment and lowered onto a multi-wheeled transporter to be staged at an on-site storage area and await transport to the disposal facility. The pressurizer will be removed using the same technique. Each component will then be loaded onto a railcar for transport to the disposal facility.
Reactor coolant piping is cut from the reactor vessel once the water level in the vessel (used for personnel shielding during dismantling and cutting operations in and around the vessel) is dropped below the nozzle zone. The piping is boxed and transported by shielded van. The reactor coolant pumps and motors are lifted out intact, packaged, and transported for disposal.
Braidwood Unit 1 has replaced its original set of steam generators; this original set is still on site, stored within a concrete protective structure.
The cost for transportation and disposal of this original set of Unit 1 steam generators has been included in this analysis.
3.6.4 Main Turbine and Condenser The main turbine will be dismantled using conventional maintenance procedures. The turbine rotors and shafts will be removed to a laydown area. The lower turbine casings will be removed from their anchors by controlled demolition. The main condensers will also be disassembled and moved to a laydown area. Clean material is released on site as scrap metal; radioactive or potentially radioactive material is then prepared for transportation to an off-site recycling facility where it will be surveyed and designated for either decontamination or volume reduction, conventional disposal, or controlled disposal. Components will be packaged and readied for transport in accordance with the intended disposition.
3.6.5 Transportation Methods Contaminated piping, components, and structural material other than the highly activated reactor vessel and internal components will qualify as LSA-I, II or III or Surface Contaminated Object, SCO-I or II, as described in Title 49.[24] The contaminated material will be packaged in Industrial Packages (IP 1, IP-2, or IP-3, as defined in subpart 173.411) for transport unless demonstrated to qualify as their own shipping
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 15 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
containers. The reactor vessel and internal components are expected to be transported in accordance with §71, as Type B. It is conceivable that the reactor, due to its limited specific activity, could qualify as LSA II or III. However, the high radiation levels on the outer surface would require that additional shielding be incorporated within the packaging so as to attenuate the dose to levels acceptable for transport.
Transport of the highly activated metal, produced in the segmentation of the reactor vessels and internal components, will be by shielded truck cask. Cask shipments may exceed 95,000 pounds, including vessel segment(s), supplementary shielding, cask tie-downs, and tractor-trailer. The maximum level of activity per shipment assumed permissible was based upon the license limits of the available shielded transport casks. The segmentation scheme for the vessel and internal segments is designed to meet these limits.
The transport of large intact components (e.g., large heat exchangers and other oversized components) will be by a combination of truck, rail, and/or multi-wheeled transporter. Truck transport costs were estimated using published tariffs from Tri-State Motor Transit.[25]
3.6.6 Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal To the greatest extent practical, metallic material generated in the decontamination and dismantling processes is treated to reduce the total volume requiring controlled disposal. The treated material, meeting the regulatory and/or site release criterion, is released as scrap, requiring no further cost consideration. Conditioning and recovery of the waste stream is performed off site at a licensed processing center.
The mass of radioactive waste generated during the various decommissioning activities is reported by line-item in Appendices C, D and E, and summarized in Section 5. The Section 5 waste summaries are consistent with 10 CFR §61 classifications. Commercially available steel containers are used for the disposal of piping, small components, and concrete. Larger components can serve as their own containers, with proper closure of all openings, access ways, and penetrations. The waste volumes are calculated on the exterior package dimensions for containerized material or a dimensional calculation for components serving as their own waste containers.
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 16 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
The more highly activated reactor components are transported in reusable, shielded truck casks with disposable liners. In calculating disposal costs, the burial fees are applied against the liner volume, with surcharges added for the special handling requirements and the radiological characteristics of the payload. Packaging efficiencies are lower for the highly activated materials (greater than Type A quantity waste), where high concentrations of gamma-emitting radionuclides limit the capacity of the shipping canisters.
Disposal fees are calculated using current disposal agreements, with surcharges added for the highly activated components, for example, generated in the segmentation of the reactor vessel. The cost to dispose of the majority of the material generated from the decontamination and dismantling activities is based upon Exelons current disposal agreement with EnergySolutions for its facility in Clive, Utah.
Since the EnergySolutions facility is not able to accept the higher activity waste (Class B and C) generated in the decontamination of the reactor vessel and segmentation of the components closest to the core, the cost of disposal of this material at a yet-to-be determined facility were based upon Exelons last negotiated rates for the Barnwell facility.
Material exceeding Class C limits (limited to material closest to the reactor core and comprising a small percentage of the total waste volume) is generally not suitable for shallow-land disposal. This material is packaged in the same multipurpose canisters used for spent fuel storage/transport and designated for geologic disposal.
3.6.7 Site Conditions Following Decommissioning The NRC will terminate (or amend) the site license when it determines that site remediation has been performed in accordance with the license termination plan, and that the terminal radiation survey and associated documentation demonstrate that the facility is suitable for release. The NRCs involvement in the decommissioning process will end at this point. Building codes and environmental regulations will dictate the next step in the decommissioning process, as well as the owners own future plans for the site.
Non-essential structures or buildings severely damaged in decontamination process are removed to a nominal depth of three feet below grade. Concrete rubble generated from demolition activities is
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 17 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
processed and made available as clean fill. The excavations will be regraded such that the power block area will have a final contour consistent with adjacent surroundings.
3.7 ASSUMPTIONS The following are the major assumptions made in the development of the estimates for decommissioning the site.
3.7.1 Estimating Basis The study follows the principles of ALARA through the use of work duration adjustment factors. These factors address the impact of activities such as radiological protection instruction, mock-up training, and the use of respiratory protection and protective clothing. The factors lengthen a task's duration, increasing costs and lengthening the overall schedule. ALARA planning is considered in the costs for engineering and planning, and in the development of activity specifications and detailed procedures. Changes to worker exposure limits may impact the decommissioning cost and project schedule.
3.7.2 Labor Costs The craft labor required to decontaminate and dismantle the nuclear units will be acquired through standard site contracting practices. The current cost of labor at the site is used as an estimating basis. Costs for site administration, operations, construction, and maintenance personnel are based upon average salary information provided by Exelon or from comparable industry information.
Exelon will hire a Decommissioning Operations Contractor (DOC) to manage the decommissioning. The owner will provide site security, radiological health and safety, quality assurance and overall site administration during the decommissioning and demolition phases.
Contract personnel will provide engineering services (e.g., for preparing the activity specifications, work procedures, activation, and structural analyses) under the direction of Exelon.
3.7.3 Design Conditions Any fuel cladding failure that occurred during the lifetime of the plant is assumed to have released fission products at sufficiently low levels that
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 18 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
the buildup of quantities of long-lived isotopes (e.g., 137Cs, 90Sr, or transuranics) has been prevented from reaching levels exceeding those that permit the major NSSS components to be shipped under current transportation regulations and disposal requirements.
The curie contents of the vessel and internals at final shutdown are derived from those listed in NUREG/CR-3474.[26] Actual estimates are derived from the curie/gram values contained therein and adjusted for the different mass of the Braidwood components, projected operating life, and different periods of decay. Additional short-lived isotopes were derived from CR-0130[27] and CR-0672,[28] and benchmarked to the long-lived values from CR-3474.
The control elements are disposed of along with the spent fuel (i.e., there is no additional cost provided for their disposal).
Activation of the reactor building structures is confined to the biological shield. More extensive activation (at very low levels) of the interior structures within containment has been detected at several reactors and the owners have elected to dispose of the affected material at a controlled facility rather than reuse the material as fill on site or send it to a landfill. The ultimate disposition of the material removed from the reactor building will depend upon the site release criteria selected, as well as the designated end use for the site.
3.7.4 General Transition Activities Existing warehouses will be cleared of non-essential material and remain for use by Exelon and its subcontractors. The plants operating staff will perform the following activities at no additional cost or credit to the project during the transition period:
Drain and collect fuel oils, lubricating oils, and transformer oils for recycle and/or sale.
Drain and collect acids, caustics, and other chemical stores for recycle and/or sale.
Processes operating waste inventories, i.e., the estimates do not address the disposition of any legacy wastes; the disposal of
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 19 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
operating wastes during this initial period is not considered a decommissioning expense.
Scrap and Salvage The existing plant equipment is considered obsolete and suitable for scrap as deadweight quantities only. Exelon will make economically reasonable efforts to salvage equipment following final plant shutdown.
However, dismantling techniques assumed by TLG for equipment in this analysis are not consistent with removal techniques required for salvage (resale) of equipment. Experience has indicated that some buyers wanted equipment stripped down to very specific requirements before they would consider purchase. This required expensive rework after the equipment had been removed from its installed location. Since placing a salvage value on this machinery and equipment would be speculative, and the value would be small in comparison to the overall decommissioning expenses, this analysis does not attempt to quantify the possible salvage value that an owner may realize based upon those efforts.
It is assumed, for purposes of this analysis, that any value received from the sale of scrap generated in the dismantling process would be more than offset by the on-site processing costs. The dismantling techniques assumed in the decommissioning estimates do not include the additional cost for size reduction and preparation to meet furnace ready conditions. For example, the recovery of copper from electrical cabling may require the removal and disposition of any contaminated insulation, an added expense. With a volatile market, the potential profit margin in scrap recovery is highly speculative, regardless of the ability to free release this material. This assumption is an implicit recognition of scrap value in the disposal of clean metallic waste at no additional cost to the project.
Furniture, tools, mobile equipment such as forklifts, trucks, bulldozers, and other property will be removed at no cost or credit to the decommissioning project. Disposition may include relocation to other facilities. Spare parts will also be made available for alternative use.
Energy For estimating purposes, the plant is assumed to be de-energized, with the exception of those facilities associated with spent fuel storage.
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 3, Page 20 of 30 TLG Services, Inc.
Replacement power costs are used for the cost of energy consumption during decommissioning for tooling, lighting, ventilation, and essential services.
Insurance Costs for continuing coverage (nuclear liability and property insurance) following cessation of plant operations and during decommissioning are included and based upon current operating premiums. Reductions in premiums, throughout the decommissioning process, are based upon the guidance and the limits for coverage defined in the NRCs proposed rulemaking Financial Protection Requirements for Permanently Shutdown Nuclear Power Reactors.[29] NRCs financial protection requirements are based on various reactor (and spent fuel) configurations.
Taxes Property taxes are included for all decommissioning periods. Exelon provided a schedule of decreasing tax payments against the current tax assessment. These reductions continue until reaching a minimum property tax payment of $1 million per year for the site; this level is maintained for the balance of the decommissioning program.
Site Modifications The perimeter fence and in-plant security barriers will be moved, as appropriate, to conform to the Site Security Plan in force during the various stages of the project.

- 4. SCHEDULE ESTIMATE The schedules for the decommissioning scenarios considered in this study follow the sequence presented in the AIF/NESP-036 study, with minor changes to reflect recent experience and site-specific constraints. In addition, the scheduling has been revised to reflect the spent fuel management plans described in Section 3.4.1.
A schedule or sequence of activities is presented in Figure 4.1 for the DECON decommissioning alternative. The schedule is also representative of the work activities identified in the delayed dismantling scenarios, absent any spent fuel constraints. The scheduling sequence assumes that fuel is removed from the spent fuel pool within the first five and one-half years after operations cease at Unit 2.
The key activities listed in the schedule do not reflect a one-to-one correspondence with those activities in the cost tables, but reflect dividing some activities for clarity and combining others for convenience. The schedule was prepared using the "Microsoft Project 2003" computer software.[30]
4.1 SCHEDULE ESTIMATE ASSUMPTIONS The schedule reflects the results of a precedence network developed for the site decommissioning activities, i.e., a PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) Software Package. The work activity durations used in the precedence network reflect the actual man-hour estimates from the cost tables, adjusted by stretching certain activities over their slack range and shifting the start and end dates of others. The following assumptions were made in the development of the DECON decommissioning schedule:
The fuel handling building is isolated until such time that all spent fuel has been discharged to the ISFSI. Decontamination and dismantling of the storage pool are initiated once the transfer of spent fuel to the ISFSI is complete.
All work (except vessel and internals removal) is performed during an 8-hour workday, 5 days per week, with no overtime. There are eleven paid holidays per year.
Reactor and internals removal activities are performed by using separate crews for different activities working on different shifts, with a corresponding backshift charge for the second shift.
Multiple crews work parallel activities to the maximum extent possible, consistent with optimum efficiency, adequate access for cutting, removal

and laydown space, and with the stringent safety measures necessary during demolition of heavy components and structures.
For plant systems removal, the systems with the longest removal durations in areas on the critical path are considered to determine the duration of the activity.
4.2 PROJECT SCHEDULE The period-dependent costs presented in the detailed cost tables are based upon the durations developed in the schedule for decommissioning Braidwood.
Durations are established between several milestones in each project period; these durations are used to establish a critical path for the entire project. In turn, the critical path duration for each period is used as the basis for determining the period-dependent costs. A second critical path is also shown for the spent fuel cooling period, which determines the release of the fuel handling building for final decontamination.
Project timelines are provided in Figures 4.2 through 4.4; the milestone dates are based on this same shutdown date. The start of decommissioning activities in the Delayed Decommissioning scenario is concurrent with the end of the fuel transfer activity (i.e. to an off-site DOE facility).

- 5. RADIOACTIVE WASTES The objectives of the decommissioning process are the removal of all radioactive material from the site that would restrict its future use and the termination of the NRC license(s). This currently requires the remediation of all radioactive material at the site in excess of applicable legal limits. Under the Atomic Energy Act,[31] the NRC is responsible for protecting the public from sources of ionizing radiation. Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations delineates the production, utilization, and disposal of radioactive materials and processes. In particular, §71 defines radioactive material as it pertains to packaging and transportation and §61 specifies its disposition.
Most of the materials being transported for controlled burial are categorized as Low Specific Activity (LSA) or Surface Contaminated Object (SCO) materials containing Type A quantities, as defined in 49 CFR §173-178. Shipping containers are required to be Industrial Packages (IP-1, IP-2 or IP-3, as defined in subpart 173.411). For this study, commercially available steel containers are presumed to be used for the disposal of piping, small components, and concrete. Larger components can serve as their own containers, with proper closure of all openings, access ways, and penetrations.
The volumes of radioactive waste generated during the various decommissioning activities at the site is shown on a line-item basis in Appendices C, D, and E and summarized in Tables 5.1 through 5.3. The quantified waste volume summaries shown in these tables are consistent with §61 classifications. The volumes are calculated based on the exterior dimensions for containerized material and on the displaced volume of components serving as their own waste containers.
The reactor vessel and internals are categorized as large quantity shipments and, accordingly, will be shipped in reusable, shielded truck casks with disposable liners.
In calculating disposal costs, the burial fees are applied against the liner volume, as well as the special handling requirements of the payload. Packaging efficiencies are lower for the highly activated materials (greater than Type A quantity waste),
where high concentrations of gamma-emitting radionuclides limit the capacity of the shipping canisters.
No process system containing/handling radioactive substances at shutdown is presumed to meet material release criteria by decay alone, i.e., systems radioactive at shutdown will still be radioactive over the time period during which the decommissioning is accomplished, due to the presence of long-lived radionuclides.
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014 Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 5, Page 2 of 5 TLG Services, Inc.
While the dose rates decrease with time, radionuclides such as 137Cs will still control the disposition requirements.
The waste material generated in the decontamination and dismantling of Braidwood is primarily generated during Period 2 of the DECON alternative and Period 4 of the deferred alternatives. Material that is considered potentially contaminated when removed from the radiologically controlled area is sent to processing facilities in Tennessee for conditioning and disposal. Heavily contaminated components and activated materials are routed for controlled disposal. The disposal volumes reported in the tables reflect the savings resulting from reprocessing and recycling.
Disposal fees are calculated using current disposal agreements, with surcharges added for the highly activated components, for example, generated in the segmentation of the reactor vessel. The cost to dispose of the majority of the material generated from the decontamination and dismantling activities is based upon Exelons current disposal agreement with EnergySolutions for its facility in Clive, Utah.
Since the EnergySolutions facility is not able to accept the higher activity waste (Class B and C) generated in the decontamination of the reactor vessel and segmentation of the components closest to the core, the cost of disposal of this material at a yet-to-be determined facility are based upon Exelons previously negotiated cost of disposal at the Barnwell site.

- 6. RESULTS The analysis to estimate the costs to decommission Braidwood relied upon the site-specific, technical information developed for a previous analysis prepared in 2004.
While not an engineering study, the estimates provide Exelon with sufficient information to assess its financial obligations, as they pertain to the eventual decommissioning of the nuclear station.
The estimates described in this report are based on numerous fundamental assumptions, including regulatory requirements, project contingencies, low-level radioactive waste disposal practices, high-level radioactive waste management options, and site restoration requirements. The decommissioning scenarios assume continued operation of the plants spent fuel pool for a minimum of five and one-half years following the cessation of operations for continued cooling of the assemblies.
For the DECON and SAFSTOR scenarios, the ISFSI is expanded to accommodate the spent fuel, once sufficiently cooled, until such time that the DOE can complete the transfer of the assemblies to its repository. The spent fuel remains in the storage pool in the Delayed-DECON alternative.
The cost projected to promptly decommission (DECON) Braidwood is estimated to be $1,363.1 million. The majority of this cost (approximately 71.2%) is associated with the physical decontamination and dismantling of the nuclear units so that the licenses can be terminated. Another 17.5% is associated with the management, interim storage, and eventual transfer of the spent fuel. The remaining 11.3% is for the demolition of the designated structures and limited restoration of the site.
The primary cost contributors, identified in Tables 6.1 through 6.3, are either labor-related or associated with the management and disposition of the radioactive waste.
Program management is the largest single contributor to the overall cost. The magnitude of the expense is a function of both the size of the organization required to manage the decommissioning, as well as the duration of the program. It is assumed, for purposes of this analysis, that Exelon will oversee the decommissioning program, using a DOC to manage the decommissioning labor force and the associated subcontractors. The size and composition of the management organization varies with the decommissioning phase and associated site activities.
However, once the operating license is terminated, the staff is substantially reduced for the conventional demolition and restoration of the site, and the long-term care of the spent fuel (for the DECON alternative).
As described in this report, the spent fuel pool will remain operational for a minimum of five and one-half years following the cessation of operations. The pool
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 6, Page 2 of 6 TLG Services, Inc.
will be isolated and an independent spent fuel island created. This will allow decommissioning operations to proceed in and around the pool areas. Over the five and one-half year period, the spent fuel will be packaged into transportable steel canisters for future loading into a DOE-provided transport cask (DECON and SAFSTOR alternatives). The canisters will be stored in concrete overpacks at the ISFSI until the DOE is able to receive them. Dry storage of the fuel under a separate license provides additional flexibility in the event the DOE is not able to meet the current timetable for completing the transfer of assemblies to an off-site facility and minimizes the associated caretaking expenses.
The cost for waste disposal includes only those costs associated with the controlled disposition of the low-level radioactive waste generated from decontamination and dismantling activities, including plant equipment and components, structural material, filters, resins and dry-active waste. As described in Section 5, disposal of the majority of the radioactive material is at EnergySolutions facility in Clive, Utah or some alternative facility. Highly activated components, requiring additional isolation from the environment, are packaged for geologic disposal. Disposal of these components is based upon a cost equivalent for spent fuel.
A significant portion of the metallic waste is designated for additional processing and treatment at an off-site facility. Processing reduces the volume of material requiring controlled disposal through such techniques and processes as survey and sorting, decontamination, and volume reduction. The material that cannot be unconditionally released is packaged for controlled disposal at one of the currently operating facilities. The cost identified in the summary table for processing is all-inclusive, incorporating the ultimate disposition of the material.
Removal costs reflect the labor-intensive nature of the decommissioning process, as well as the management controls required to ensure a safe and successful program.
Decontamination and packaging costs also have a large labor component that is based upon prevailing union wages. Non-radiological demolition is a natural extension of the decommissioning process.
The methods employed in decontamination and dismantling are generally destructive and indiscriminate in inflicting collateral damage.
With a
work force mobilized to support decommissioning operations, non-radiological demolition can be an integrated activity and a logical expansion of the work being performed in the process of terminating the operating license. Prompt demolition reduces future liabilities and can be more cost effective than deferral, due to the deterioration of the facilities (and therefore the working conditions) with time.
The reported cost for transport includes the tariffs and surcharges associated with moving large components and/or overweight shielded casks overland, as well as the
Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Document E16-1555-014, Rev. 0 Decommissioning Cost Analysis Section 6, Page 3 of 6 TLG Services, Inc.
general expense, e.g., labor and fuel, of transporting material to the destinations identified in this report. For purposes of this analysis, material is primarily moved overland by truck.
Decontamination is used to reduce the plants radiation fields and minimize worker exposure. Slightly contaminated material or material located within a contaminated area is sent to an off-site processing center, i.e., this analysis does not assume that contaminated plant components and equipment can be decontaminated for uncontrolled release in-situ. Centralized processing centers have proven to be a more economical means of handling the large volumes of material produced in the dismantling of a nuclear unit.
License termination survey costs are associated with the labor intensive and complex activity of verifying that contamination has been removed from the site to the levels specified by the regulating agency. This process involves a systematic survey of all remaining plant surface areas and surrounding environs, sampling, isotopic analysis, and documentation of the findings. The status of any plant components and materials not removed in the decommissioning process will also require confirmation and will add to the expense of surveying the facilities alone.
The remaining costs include allocations for heavy equipment and temporary services, as well as for other expenses such as regulatory fees and the premiums for nuclear insurance. While site operating costs are greatly reduced following the final cessation of plant operations, certain administrative functions do need to be maintained either at a basic functional or regulatory level.
