Description

The Nuclear Regulatory Comm. (NRC), which regulates reactors, requires their owners to reduce radioactive contamination after reactors permanently shut down. This process, called decommissioning, costs hundreds of millions of dollars per reactor. NRC requires licensees to provide reasonable assurance that they will have adequate funds to decommission, in part, by accumulating funds that are greater than or equal to NRCäó»s decommissioning funding formula. This report: (1) describes how NRC ensures that licensees provide reasonable assurance of adequate decommissioning funds; and (2) identifies any improvements or weaknesses in NRCäó»s oversight of this area. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand report.
