Notice of Availability; NUREG-1307, Revision 14, ``Report on
Waste Burial Charges Changes in Decommissioning Waste Disposal Costs at
Low-Level Waste Burial Facilities''
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of Availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC is announcing the completion and availability of
NUREG-1307, Revision 14, ``Report on Waste Burial Charges,'' dated
November 2010, which updates the cost factor for disposal
(Bx) that a licensee uses when calculating the minimum
amount of decommissioning funding assurance required, based on changes
in waste disposal charges since the previous revision.
ADDRESSES: NUREG-1307 may be purchased from The Superintendent of
Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, P.O. Box 37082, Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A requirement placed upon nuclear power
reactor licensees by the NRC is that licensees must annually adjust the
estimate of the cost of decommissioning their plants, in dollars of the
current year, as part of the process to provide reasonable assurance
that adequate funds for decommissioning will be available when needed.
This report, which is revised periodically, explains the formula that
is acceptable to the NRC for determining the minimum decommissioning
fund requirements for nuclear power plants. The sources of information
used in the formula are identified, and the values developed for the
estimation of radioactive waste burial/disposition costs, by site and
by year, are given.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, November 15, 2010.

Deputy Director, Division of Policy and Rulemaking, Office of Nuclear
Reactor Program.
