(d), except—

section, a taxpayer may make deductible payments
to the Fund in any taxable year between the end of

the nuclear powerplant to which the Fund relates
provided such payments do not cause the assets of
the Fund to exceed the nuclear decommissioning
costs allocable to the taxpayer’s current or former
interest in the nuclear powerplant to which the Fund
relates. The foregoing limitation shall be applied by
taking into account a reasonable rate of inflation for
the nuclear decommissioning costs and a reasonable

contributed to the Fund in each year remaining in

late the nuclear decommissioning costs allocable to

PERIOD.—The funding period
