8)(i) and 10 CFR 52.110(h)(1), after the licensee submits a site-specific decommissioning cost estimate to the NRC. In 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8)(iii) and 10 CFR 52.110(h)(3), the NRC requires the licensee to submit a site-specific decommissioning cost estimate within 2 years after permanent cessation of operations, if not already submitted. DG-1347 Revision 1, Page 9 The following is a list of documents containing information that may help licensees develop site-specific decommissioning cost estimates: • NUREG/CR-0672, “Technology, Safety and Costs of Decommissioning a Reference Boiling Water Reactor Power Station,” (including Addenda 1–4) (Ref. 22) • NUREG/CR-0130, “Technology, Safety and Costs of Decommissioning a Reference Pressurized Water Reactor Power Station,” (including Addenda 1–4) (Ref. 23) • NUREG/CR-5884, “Revised Analyses of Decommissioning for the Reference Pressurized Water Reactor Power Station” (Ref. 24) • NUREG/CR-6174, “Revised Analyses of Decommissioning for the Reference Boiling Water Reactor Power Station” (Ref. 25) • NUREG-0586, “Generic Environmental Impact Statement on Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities” The NRC staff recognizes that, during the planning process for decommissioning while in operation, the licensee must consider activities related to the storage of spent fuel. Accordingly, the licensee may choose to commingle the funding for spent fuel planning, maintenance, and storage required by 10 CFR 50.54(bb) in the same trust fund that it uses for radiological decommissioning. However, funds set aside for decommissioning planning must not be used for spent fuel management planning during operation; this is not allowed without an exemption and these funds must remain separate and accounted for as such unless approved otherwise. The licensee must be able to identify and track the amounts in the trust fund applicable to radiological decommissioning activities and the amounts set aside for spent fuel
