Siegel, J J

The NRC is currently developing rulemaking in the area of decommissioning nuclear facilities. A part of that rulemaking effort is assuring that funds will be available at the time of decommissioning of power reactors. Previous NRC reports have examined this issue by studying various funding methods. This report provides an update by analyzing the relative level of assurance of funding methods, considering the present utility financial situation. In its analysis the report makes use of specific case situations. The report concludes that the various funding methods studied in the earlier reports including the internal reserve method provide assurance of the availability of funds for decommissioning.
