management and site restoration 

activities (see NRC Regulatory Issue 

Summary 2001–07, ‘‘10 CFR 50.75 

Reporting and Recordkeeping for 

Decommissioning Planning,’’ Revision 

1, dated January 8, 2009 

(ML083440158), and Regulatory Guide 

1.184, ‘‘Decommissioning of Nuclear 

Power Reactors,’’ Revision 1, dated 

October 2013 (ML13144A840)). 

Preventing access to those excess funds 

in DTFs because spent fuel management 

and site restoration activities are not 

associated with radiological 

decommissioning would create an 

unnecessary financial burden without 

any corresponding safety benefit. The 

adequacy of the KPS DTF to cover the 

cost of activities associated with site 

restoration, in addition to radiological 

decommissioning and spent fuel 

management, is supported by the 

licensees’ SSDCE for KPS. If the KPS 

DTF cannot be used for site restoration 

activities, the licensees would need to 

obtain additional funding that would 

not be recoverable from the DTF, or 

would have to modify the 

decommissioning approach and 

methods planned at KPS. The NRC staff 

concludes that either outcome would 

impose an unnecessary and undue 

burden significantly in excess of that 

contemplated when 10 CFR 

50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR 

50.75(h)(1)(iv) were adopted. 

The underlying purpose of 10 CFR 

50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR 

50.75(h)(1)(iv) would continue to be 

achieved by allowing the licensees to 

use a portion of the KPS DTF for site 

restoration activities without prior NRC 

notification, and compliance with the 

regulations would result in an undue 

hardship or other costs that are 

significantly in excess of those 

contemplated when the regulations 

were adopted. Thus, the special 

circumstances required by 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2)(ii) and (iii) exist and support 

the approval of the requested 

exemption. 

E. Environmental Considerations 

In accordance with paragraph (a) of 10 

CFR 51.31, ‘‘Determinations based on 

environmental assessment,’’ the 

Commission has determined that the 

granting of this exemption will not have 

a significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment, as discussed in the 

NRC staff’s Environmental Assessment 

and Finding of No Significant Impact 

published on January 25, 2024 (89 FR 

4999). 

IV. Conclusion 

In consideration of the above, the 

NRC staff finds that the proposed 

exemption confirms the adequacy of 

funding in the KPS DTF, considering 

growth, to complete radiological 

decommissioning of the site and to 

terminate the license, as well as to cover 

the estimated costs of spent fuel 

management and site restoration 

activities. 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.12(a), the exemption is authorized by 

law, will not present an undue risk to 

public health and safety, and is 

consistent with the common defense 

and security. Also, special 

circumstances are present. Therefore, 

the Commission hereby grants 

Kewaunee Solutions, Inc., and 

EnergySolutions, LLC an exemption 

from the requirements of 10 CFR 

50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR 

50.75(h)(1)(iv) to allow the use of a 

portion of the funds from the KPS DTF 

for site restoration activities in 

accordance with (1) the licensees’ 

PSDAR and SSCE, (2) forecasted cost 

and scheduling information from the 

most recent KPS DTF Status Report, and 

(3) as provided in response to the NRC’s 

RAI on this exemption request. 

Additionally, the Commission hereby 

grants the licensees an exemption from 

the requirement of 10 CFR 

50.75(h)(1)(iv) to allow such 

withdrawals from the KPS DTF for site 

restoration activities without prior NRC 

notification. 

This exemption is effective upon 

issuance.
