Notes: \1 The Government presented evidence at trial regarding the value of the "dual-purpose" transportable features of the dry storage system as they related to Vectra and Transnuclear. I priced the damages based on support and information provided by Jerry Burford of Watkins Consulting, Inc., whom the Court qualified as an expert in, among other things, the management of nulear capital projects, and claim preparation (see 3/31/06 Opinion at page 50, footnote 34). See Stephen Kiraly expert report dated 11/22/04 (Bates: EXS 0060119 ­ 0060141). See Exhibit E-1-i to Stephen Kiraly Expert report at EXS 0050092-0050108. The costs for Vectra and Transnuclear, as presented on Kiraly Expert Report Exhibit E-1-i are presented below. Description Vectra TNW Totals $ $ Pre-5/97 3,217,330 3,217,330 $ $ 6/97 - 10/99 168,414 2,774,542 2,942,956 $ $ 11/99 - 12/03 10,878,248 10,878,248 $ $ Total 3,385,744 13,652,789 17,038,533

\2 Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection & Insurance Company provided quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) for a system with both storage and transportable features, so costs would have been spent to monitor the fabrication of the transportable features. I have seen no evidence in the record that would allow an identification or isolation of the costs for QA/QC of the transportable features. Therefore, I question the claimed amount for the costs recorded to Contract #H917 totaling $761,999. \3 Duke Engineering agreed to Contract #H573 with SMUD to provide engineering and technical personnel to support the MP-187 transportation cask. I understand that the MP-187 relates to the off-site transportation of spent nuclear fuel, therefore I question the inclusion of the Duke Engineering costs in SMUD's claim. The accounting records provided to the Government indicate that Duke costs for Contract #H573 totaled $476,996. \4 Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe provided legal services regarding the loan workout agreement between SMUD and PCC. PCC fabricated the dual-purpose canisters licensed for the transportation of spent nuclear fuel. I have seen no evidence in the record that would allow an identification or isolation of the legal costs related to the transportable features. Therefore, I question the entire $69,380 in legal fees. \5 Bright & Brown provided legal services related to the administration of TNW contract #E776A. TNW was the contractor providing the dual-purpose system to SMUD. I have seen no evidence in the record that would allow an identification or isolation of the legal costs related to the transportable features. Therefore, I question the entire $46,347 in legal fees. \6 These costs relate to amounts questioned by Brinig on his Table B-3. \7 Adjustments do not include the SMUD internal labor associated with the dual-purpose activities, including any shift of some of the "16 employees" to a level below 50%.
