Docket No. 50–331
NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC,
Duane Arnold Energy Center,
Exemption
I. Background
Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC)
is a single boiling-water reactor located
in Linn County, Iowa. Under Renewed
Facility Operating License No. DPR–49,
DAEC is owned by NextEra Energy
Duane Arnold, LLC (NEDA, the
licensee) (70%), Central Iowa Power
Cooperative (20%), and Corn Belt Power
Cooperative (10%) and is operated by
NEDA. This license is subject to the
rules, regulations, and orders of the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC,
the Commission).
By letter dated January 18, 2019
(Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS)
Accession No. ML19023A196), NEDA
submitted to the NRC a certification in
accordance with Section 50.82(a)(1)(i) of
Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), stating its
determination to permanently cease
power operations at DAEC in the fourth
quarter of 2020. By letter dated March
2, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML20062E489), NEDA updated this

certification, stating that it plans to
permanently cease power operations at
DAEC on October 30, 2020. By letter
dated April 2, 2020 (ADAMS Accession
No. ML20094F603), NEDA submitted to
the NRC a Post-Shutdown
Decommissioning Activities Report
(PSDAR) and site-specific
Decommissioning Cost Estimate (DCE)
for DAEC in accordance with 10 CFR
50.82(a)(4)(i).
II. Request/Action
By letter dated February 25, 2020
(ADAMS Accession No. ML20056E054),
as supplemented by letter dated May 29,
2020 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML20153A371), NEDA submitted to the
NRC a request for exemption from
specific requirements of 10 CFR
50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR
50.75(h)(1)(iv). The exemption from 10
CFR 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 10 CFR
50.75(h)(1)(iv) would permit NEDA to
make withdrawals from the DAEC
Decommissioning Trust Fund (DTF) for
spent fuel management and site
restoration activities in accordance with
the DAEC DCE. The exemption from 10
CFR 50.75(h)(1)(iv) would also permit
NEDA to make these withdrawals
without prior notification of the NRC,
similar to withdrawals for
decommissioning activities made in
accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8).
As part of its exemption request,
NEDA provided Table 1, ‘‘Annual
SAFSTOR Decommissioning Cost Cash
Flow for Duane Arnold Energy Center,’’
that shows the annual DTF cash flow for
DAEC while conducting SAFSTOR
decommissioning (i.e., deferred
dismantling). Table 1 contains the
projected withdrawals from the DTF
needed to cover the estimated costs of
radiological decommissioning, spent
fuel management, and site restoration
activities as projected as of the date of
the exemption request. Subsequent to its
exemption request, NEDA provided the
DTF balance and cost estimates for these
same activities in its letter dated April
2, 2020 for the DAEC PSDAR and in
Enclosure 1 to its March 26, 2020
annual report on the status of
decommissioning funding for DAEC
(ADAMS Accession No. ML20086L916).
On May 29, 2020, NEDA supplemented
its request and provided, among other
things, the most recently available
NEDA DAEC DTF balance. The NRC
staff considered each of these submittals
in its review of the exemption request.
The requirements of 10 CFR
50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) restrict the use of DTF
withdrawals to expenses for legitimate
decommissioning activities consistent
with the definition of decommissioning
that appears in 10 CFR 50.2. The
