Guidelines for producing commercial nuclear power plant decommissioning cost estimates. Volume 1
These guidelines were prepared in response to a nuclear industry need to facilitate the preparation of cost estimates to decommission nuclear power plants. The objective of these guidelines is to enhance the credibility and thoroughness of cost estimates by providing detailed breakdown of costs to measurable, comprehensible levels in order to ensure that all estimates employing the guidelines will properly identify and account for all activities and elements of cost. These guidelines were prepared for decommissioning commercial nuclear power reactors of the pressurized water reactor and boiling water reactor types. Chapter 1 describes the background, objectives, and scope of the document and presents the general organization of the guidelines study. A separate abstract has been prepared for each of the thirteen additional chapters. Volume 1 contains a description of the suggested cost estimating methodology and supporting reference information.
