COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–302; NRC–2015–0010] 

Duke Energy Florida, Inc.; Crystal 

River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Exemption; issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing 

exemptions in response to a March 28, 

2014, request from Duke Energy Florida, 

Inc. (DEF or the licensee), representing 

itself and the other owners. The 

exemptions permit the use of the Crystal 

River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant 

(CR–3) decommissioning trust fund (the 

Trust) for irradiated fuel management 

and site restoration activities in addition 

to decommissioning activities and allow 

the licensee to use withdrawals from the 

Trust for these purposes without prior 

notification to the NRC, similar to 

withdrawals for decommissioning 

activities. The NRC has reviewed the 

Trust and determined that, at this time, 

there is reasonable assurance of 

sufficient financial resources in the 

Trust for both irradiated fuel 

management and site restoration 

activities as well as to complete 

decommissioning activities.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

DEF is the holder of Facility 

Operating License No. DPR–72, for CR– 

3. By letter dated February 20, 2013 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13056A005), 

DEF submitted to the NRC a 

certification in accordance with 

Sections 50.82(a)(1)(i) and 50.82(a)(1)(ii) 

of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) indicating that it 

had permanently ceased power 

operations at CR–3 and that the CR–3 

reactor vessel had been permanently 

defueled. CR–3 has not operated since 

September 2009. 

By letter dated December 2, 2013, DEF 

submitted its Post Shutdown 

Decommissioning Activities Report 

(PSDAR) and the Site Specific 

Decommissioning Cost Estimate (DCE) 

as required by 10 CFR 50.82(a)(4)(i) and 

10 CFR 50.82(a) (8)(iii)(ADAMS 

Accession No. ML13340A009). By a 

separate letter dated December 2, 2013, 

DEF submitted an update to the CR–3 

Irradiated Fuel Management Plan 

(IFMP) as required by 10 CFR 50.54(bb) 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13340A008). 

The facility consists of a permanently 

shutdown and defueled pressurizedwater reactor located in Citrus County, 

Florida. 

II. Request/Action 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, ‘‘Specific 

exemptions,’’ by letter dated March 28, 

2014 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML14098A037), DEF submitted a 

request for exemptions from 10 CFR 

50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR 50.75(h)(2). 

The exemptions from 10 CFR 

50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR 50.75(h)(2) 

would permit the withdrawal and use of 

a portion of the funds in the Trust for 

financing irradiated fuel management 

and site restoration activities. The 

licensee’s requested exemption from 10 

CFR 50.75(h)(2) would also permit the 

withdrawals from the Trust for these 

activities to be made without prior 

notification of the NRC, in the same 

manner that withdrawals are made 


rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
5796 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 22 / Tuesday, February 3, 2015 / Notices 

under 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8) for 

decommissioning activities. 

The requirements of 10 CFR 

50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) restrict the use of 

decommissioning trust fund 

withdrawals to expenses for legitimate 

decommissioning activities consistent 

with the definition of decommissioning 

in 10 CFR 50.2. The definition of 

‘‘decommission’’ in 10 CFR 50.2 is to 

remove a facility or site safely from 

service and reduce residual 

radioactivity to a level that permits 

release of the property for unrestricted 

use and termination of the license; or 

release of the property under restricted 

conditions and termination of the 

license. 

This definition addresses radiological 

decontamination and does not include 

other activities, such as irradiated fuel 

management or site restoration. The 

requirements of 10 CFR 50.75(h)(2) also 

restrict the use of decommissioning 

trust fund disbursements (other than for 

ordinary administrative costs and 

incidental expenses) to 

decommissioning expenses until final 

radiological decommissioning has been 

completed. Therefore, exemptions from 

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

50.75(h)(2) are needed to allow DEF to 

withdraw funds from the Trust for 

activities other than decommissioning 

activities prior to completion of all 

radiological decommissioning activities. 

The requirements of 10 CFR 

50.75(h)(2) further provide that, except 

for decommissioning withdrawals being 

made under 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8) or for 

payments of ordinary administrative 

costs and other incidental expenses of 

the Trust, no disbursement may be 

made from the Trust until written notice 

of the intention to make a disbursement 

has been given to the NRC at least 30 

working days in advance of the 

intended disbursement. Therefore, an 

exemption from 10 CFR 50.75(h)(2) is 

also needed to allow DEF to withdraw 

funds from the Trust for activities other 

than decommissioning activities 

without prior NRC notification. 

III. Discussion 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, the 

Commission may, upon application by 

any interested person or upon its own 

initiative, grant exemptions from the 

requirements of 10 CFR part 50 when (1) 

the exemptions are authorized by law, 

will not present an undue risk to the 

public health and safety, and are 

consistent with the common defense 

and security; and (2) when any of the 

special circumstances listed in 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2) are present. These special 

circumstances include, among other 

things, the following: (a) Application of 

the regulation in the particular 

circumstances would not serve the 

underlying purpose of the rule or is not 

necessary to achieve the underlying 

purpose of the rule; or (b) Compliance 

would result in undue hardship or other 

costs that are significantly in excess of 

those contemplated when the regulation 

was adopted, or that are significantly in 

excess of those incurred by others 

similarly situated. 

A. Authorized by Law 

The requested exemptions from 10 

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

50.75(h)(2) would allow DEF to use a 

portion of the funds from the Trust for 

irradiated fuel management and site 

restoration activities without prior 

notice to the NRC, in the same manner 

that withdrawals are made under 10 

CFR 50.82(a)(8) for decommissioning 

activities. As stated above, 10 CFR 50.12 

allows the NRC to grant exemptions 

from the requirements of 10 CFR part 50 

when the exemptions are authorized by 

law. The NRC staff has determined, as 

explained below, that granting the 

licensee’s proposed exemptions will not 

result in a violation of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or the 

Commission’s regulations. Therefore, 

the exemptions are authorized by law. 

B. No Undue Risk to the Public Health 

and Safety 

The underlying purpose of 10 CFR 

50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR 50.75(h)(2) 

is to provide reasonable assurance that 

adequate funds will be available for 

radiological decommissioning of power 

reactors. Based on the licensee’s sitespecific cost estimate and the NRC 

staff’s cash flow analysis, use of a 

portion of the Trust for irradiated fuel 

management and site restoration 

activities will not adversely impact 

DEF’s ability to complete radiological 

decontamination within 60 years and 

terminate the CR–3 license. 

Furthermore, exemption from 10 CFR 

50.75(h)(2) to allow the licensee to make 

withdrawals from the Trust for 

irradiated fuel management and site 

restoration activities without prior 

written notification to the NRC should 

not affect the sufficiency of funds in the 

Trust to accomplish radiological 

decontamination of the site because 

such withdrawals are still constrained 

by the provisions of 10 CFR 

50.82(a)(8)(i)(B)–(C) and are reviewable 

under the annual reporting 

requirements of 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(v)– 

(vii). 

Based on the above, no new accident 

precursors are created by using the 

Trust in the proposed manner. Thus, the 

probability of postulated accidents is 

not increased. Also, based on the above, 

the consequences of postulated 

accidents are not increased. No changes 

are being made in the types or amounts 

of effluents that may be released offsite. 

There is no significant increase in 

occupational or public radiation 

exposure. Therefore, the requested 

exemptions will not present an undue 

risk to the public health and safety. 

C. Consistent With the Common Defense 

and Security 

The requested exemptions would 

allow DEF to use funds from the Trust 

for irradiated fuel management and site 

restoration activities. Irradiated fuel 

management under 10 CFR 50.54(bb) is 

an integral part of the planned DEF 

decommissioning and final license 

termination process and will not 

adversely affect DEF’s ability to 

physically secure the site or protect 

special nuclear material. This change to 

enable the use of a portion of the funds 

from the Trust for activities other than 

decommissioning activities will also not 

alter the scope of, or availability of, 

funding for the licensee’s security 

program. Therefore, the common 

defense and security is not impacted by 

the requested exemptions. 

D. Special Circumstances 

Special circumstances, in accordance 

with 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii), are present 

whenever application of the regulation 

in the particular circumstances is not 

necessary to achieve the underlying 

purpose of the rule. 

The underlying purpose of 10 CFR 

50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR 50.75(h)(2) 

is to provide reasonable assurance that 

adequate funds will be available for 

radiological decommissioning of power 

reactors. Strict application of these 

requirements would prohibit 

withdrawal of funds from the Trust for 

activities other than decommissioning 

activities, such as irradiated fuel 

management and site restoration 

activities, until final radiological 

decommissioning at CR–3 has been 

completed. 

The total CR–3 Decommissioning 

Trust Funds balance as of March 28, 

2014, was $824.8 million in 2013 

dollars. The DEF analysis in the PSDAR 

and DCE projects the total radiological 

decommissioning cost of CR–3 to be 

approximately $861.9 million (2013 

dollars). As required by 10 CFR 

50.54(bb), DEF estimated the costs 

associated with the long-term irradiated 

fuel management at CR–3 to be $265.5 

million in (2013 dollars). DEF also 

estimated the total expenditures for site 

restoration to be $52.7 million (2013 

dollars). 


rljohnson on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 22 / Tuesday, February 3, 2015 / Notices 5797 

The NRC staff performed an 

independent cash flow analysis of the 

Trust over the 60 years of 

decommissioning activities (assuming 

an annual real rate of return of 2%, as 

allowed by 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(ii)) and 

determined the projected earnings of the 

Trust. The staff confirmed that the 

current funds, planned future 

contributions, and projected earnings of 

the Trust provide reasonable assurance 

of adequate funding to complete all 

NRC-required decommissioning 

activities and that the DCE demonstrates 

that adequate funds will also be 

available in the Trust to conduct 

irradiated fuel management and site 

restoration activities. The staff’s review 

and conclusions are based on DEF’s 

specific financial situation as described 

in the PSDAR, DCE, IFMP, and the 

March 28, 2014 letter. 

Therefore, the staff finds that DEF has 

provided reasonable assurance that 

adequate funds will be available for 

radiological decommissioning of CR–3, 

even with the disbursement of funds 

from the Trust for irradiated fuel 

management and site restoration 

activities. Consequently, the staff 

concludes that application of the 

requirement that funds from the Trust 

only be used for decommissioning 

activities and not for irradiated fuel 

management and site restoration 

activities is not necessary to achieve the 

underlying purpose of the rule and, 

thus, that special circumstances are 

present supporting the approval of the 

exemption request. 

In its submittal, DEF also requested 

exemption from the requirements of 10 

CFR 50.75(h)(2) concerning prior 

written notification to the NRC of 

withdrawals from the Trust to fund 

activities other than decommissioning. 

The underlying purpose of notifying the 

NRC prior to withdrawal of funds from 

the Trust is to provide opportunity for 

NRC intervention, when deemed 

necessary, if the withdrawals are for 

expenses other than those authorized by 

10 CFR 50.75(h)(2) and 10 CFR 

50.82(a)(8) that could result in there 

being insufficient funds in the Trust to 

accomplish radiological 

decontamination of the site. 

By granting the exemptions to 10 CFR 

50.75(h)(2) and 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A), 

the staff considers that withdrawals 

consistent with the licensee’s submittal 

dated March 28, 2014, are authorized. 

As stated previously, the NRC staff has 

determined that there are sufficient 

funds in the Trust to complete 

legitimate radiological decommissioning 

activities as well as to conduct 

irradiated fuel management and site 

restoration activities consistent with the 

PSDAR, DCE, IFMP, and March 28, 2014 

letter. Pursuant to the annual reporting 

requirements in 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(v) 

through (vii), licensees are required to 

monitor and report the status of the 

decommissioning trust fund and the 

funding status for managing irradiated 

fuel. These reports provide the NRC 

with awareness of, and the ability to 

take action on, any actual or potential 

funding deficiencies. The requested 

exemption would not allow the 

withdrawal of funds from the CR–3 

Trust for any other purpose that is not 

currently authorized in the regulations 

without prior notification to the NRC. 

Therefore, the granting of this 

exemption to 10 CFR 50.75(h)(2) to 

allow the licensee to make withdrawals 

from the Trust to cover authorized 

expenses for irradiated fuel management 

and site restoration activities without 

prior written notification to the NRC 

will still meet the underlying purpose of 

the regulation. 

Special circumstances, in accordance 

with 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(iii) are present 

whenever compliance would result in 

undue hardship or other costs that are 

significantly in excess of those 

contemplated when the regulation was 

adopted, or that are significantly in 

excess of those incurred by others 

similarly situated. 

The licensee states that the Trust 

contains funds in excess of the 

estimated costs of radiological 

decommissioning and that these excess 

funds are needed for irradiated fuel 

management and site restoration 

activities. The NRC does not preclude 

the use of funds from the 

decommissioning trust in excess of 

those needed for radiological 

decommissioning for other purposes, 

such as irradiated fuel management or 

site restoration. The NRC has stated that 

funding for irradiated fuel management 

and other site restoration activities may 

be commingled in the decommissioning 

trust provided that the licensee is able 

to identify and account for the 

radiological decommissioning funds 

separately from the funds set aside for 

irradiated fuel management (see NRC 

Regulatory Issue Summary 2001–07, 

Rev 1, ‘‘10 CFR 50.75 Reporting and 

Recordkeeping for Decommissioning 

Planning,’’ dated January 8, 2009 

[ADAMS Accession No. ML083440158], 

and Regulatory Guide 1.184, Rev. 1, 

‘‘Decommissioning of Nuclear Power 

Reactors,’’ [ADAMS Accession No. 

ML13144A840]). An unnecessary 

financial burden without any 

corresponding safety benefit would be 

created if access to those excess funds 

in the Trust was prevented because 

irradiated fuel management and site 

restoration are not associated with 

radiological decommissioning. The 

adequacy of the Trust to cover the cost 

of activities associated with irradiated 

fuel management and site restoration in 

addition to radiological 

decommissioning is supported by the 

NRC staff’s review of the licensee’s sitespecific decommissioning cost analysis. 

If DEF cannot use the Trust for 

irradiated fuel management and site 

restoration activities, it would need to 

obtain additional funding that would 

not be recoverable from the Trust, or 

DEF would have to modify its 

decommissioning approach and 

methods. The NRC staff concludes that 

either outcome would impose an 

unnecessary and undue burden 

significantly in excess of that 

contemplated when the regulation was 

adopted. 

Therefore, since the underlying 

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

10 CFR 50.75(h)(2) would be achieved 

by allowing DEF to use a portion of the 

Trust for irradiated fuel management 

and site restoration activities without 

prior NRC notification, and compliance 

with the rules would result in an undue 

hardship or other costs that are 

significantly in excess of those 

contemplated when the regulation was 

adopted, the special circumstances 

required by 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) and 

10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(iii) exist and support 

the approval of the requested 

exemptions. 

E. Environmental Considerations 

In accordance with 10 CFR 51.31(a), 

the Commission has determined that the 

granting of the exemptions will not have 

a significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment (see Environmental 

Assessment and Finding of No 

Significant Impact published on January 

23, 2015; 80 FR 3662). 

IV. Conclusions 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.12(a), the exemptions are authorized 

by law, will not present an undue risk 

to the public health and safety, and are 

consistent with the common defense 

and security. Also, special 

circumstances are present. Therefore, 

the Commission hereby grants DEF 

exemptions from the requirements of 10 

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

50.75(h)(2) to allow withdrawals from 

the CR–3 Trust for irradiated fuel 

management and site restoration 

activities without prior NRC 

notification. 

The exemptions are effective upon 

issuance.

II. Notice of Consideration of Issuance 

of Amendments to Facility Operating 

Licenses and Combined Licenses and 

Proposed No Significant Hazards 

Consideration Determination 

The Commission has made a 

proposed determination that the 

following amendment requests involve 

no significant hazards consideration. 

Under the Commission’s regulations in 

§ 50.92 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), this means that 

operation of the facility in accordance 

with the proposed amendment would 

not (1) involve a significant increase in 

the probability or consequences of an 

accident previously evaluated, or (2) 

create the possibility of a new or 

different kind of accident from any 

accident previously evaluated; or (3) 

involve a significant reduction in a 

margin of safety. The basis for this 

proposed determination for each 

amendment request is shown below. 

The Commission is seeking public 

comments on this proposed 

determination. Any comments received 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice will be 

considered in making any final 

determination. 

Normally, the Commission will not 

issue the amendment until the 

expiration of 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. The 

Commission may issue the license 

amendment before expiration of the 60- 

day period provided that its final 

determination is that the amendment 

involves no significant hazards 

consideration. In addition, the 

Commission may issue the amendment 

prior to the expiration of the 30-day 

comment period should circumstances 

change during the 30-day comment 

period such that failure to act in a 

timely way would result, for example in 

derating or shutdown of the facility. 

Should the Commission take action 

prior to the expiration of either the 

comment period or the notice period, it 

will publish in the Federal Register a
