aging spent fuel and discuss how the licensee will provide funding for the management of the spent fuel following permanent cessation of operations until title to, and possession of, the spent fuel is transferred to the U.S. Department of Energy. Guidance related to funding for spent fuel management is found in NUREG/CR-5884 and NUREG/CR-6174. The regulation at 10 CFR 50.54(bb)(5) requires a licensee to submit to the NRC any changes to the IFMP as an application for an amendment to its license. In addition, the regulation at 10 CFR 50.54(bb)(6) requires the licensee to retain a copy of the IFMP as a record until termination of the 10 CFR Part 50 or Part 52 operating license. 4. Post-shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report Before or within 2 years after permanent cessation of operations, 10 CFR 50.82(a)(4)(i) and 10 CFR 52.110(d)(1) require the licensee to submit a PSDAR to the NRC and to send a copy to the affected States. RG 1.185 provides additional guidance on the content and level of detail to be included in the PSDAR. The PSDAR must contain a description of the planned decommissioning activities along with a schedule for their accomplishment, a discussion whether the environmental impacts associated with site-specific decommissioning activities will be bounded by appropriate federally issued environmental review documents, a description of any decommissioning activities whose environmental impacts will not be so bounded and will be evaluated prior to the performance of the activities, and a site- specific decommissioning cost estimate, including the projected cost of managing irradiated fuel. If the licensee identifies decommissioning activities with impacts that are not bounded by previous federally issued environmental review documents, it should state how it intends to comply with 10 CFR DG-1347 Revision 1, Page 14 50.82(a)(6)(ii) or 10 CFR 52.110(f)(2).
