SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Nuclear power reactor licensees are 
required, per 10 CFR 50.75, to adjust annually the estimated 
decommissioning costs of their nuclear facilities in order to ensure 
adequate funds are available for decommissioning. The regulation 
references NUREG-1307 as the appropriate source for obtaining the 
adjustment factor for waste burial/disposition costs; this Revision 10 
of NUREG-1307 provides the current waste burial costs at the Washington

and South Carolina disposal sites. In addition, this revision provides 
costs for low-level radioactive waste disposition using waste vendors. 
Licensees can factor these numbers into the adjustment formula, as 
specified in 10 CFR 50.75(c)(2), to determine the minimum 
decommissioning fund requirement for their nuclear facilities.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 8th day of November 2002.
