On January 7, 1983, PresidentReagansigned into the law the Ruclear Waste Policy Act of 198D. This act established process whereby the President, a the Congress,the affectedindividual States and Indian tribes, the U.S. Department Energyand other Federal agenciescould work togetherin the siting, of construction, and operationof facilities for bhe storage and disposalof nuclear waste. This proceedings documentfrom the Ig83 CivilianRadioactive Waste Management Information Meetingserves to highlightdevelopments since the passage of the Act, and reviews programactivitiesnecessaryto provide for the permanentdisposaland storage of commercially generatedhigh-levelradioactive waste. Presentations includedin this program cover topics concerning interim spent fuel, monitoredretrievable storage,geologicrepository deployment well as management the Nuclear Waste Fund. as of

NUCLEAR WASTE FUND MN~AGEMENT Loring Mills,Vice President Nuclear Activities, EdisonElectricInstitute
We recognizethat a key tbat unlockedthe Congressional log-jamto achievethe waste bill was the establishment contracts, of and Bob suggestedthat I might spend my time talkinga little about the contracts,i have crossed out a lot of the words that I had preparedbecause othershave already touchedon thegn.It does providethat mechanisln for fundinga program without using general tax dollars. As indicated, we have 70 contractsin existence.The process of developing that contractlanguagelast spring was a ratherinteresting one in which a lot of us had som~ dialogue.Four-letterwords were exchanged,also. The Departmentof Energy, (DOE) did considerthe contractconcernsof utilities and others,consequently substantial improvements were made over the initialdraft as a resultof the rule-making process,but there are still s~ne open questions. Basicallythese contractsdo call for regular large paymentsto DOE; and as was indicated, these moniesare flowing at a rate of over $300 million a year. Those of us in the investor-owned utilitiessupportthe conceptof cost-workin progress.There are others that don't alwaysdo that, but we do support that, and encourageit to he used in our own area, too. The money will continueto flow as long as electricity generatedby nuclear power is plants. While Congress did set the initial rate at I mii per kilowatthour, it also gave DOE the permission change that fee to make sure they to covered the full cost of the program. In additionto money, we are providinga great deal of infon~ation the spent fuel quantityand on characteristics. In return for the money withinthe contracts, DOE has promisedthat it will take the nuclear waste some unspecified day, at some unspecified rate, hopefully,starting in Ig98. The DOE promise must be carriedout, and it is our task as contractholders to do everything can to we assurethat it is achieved. Now, there are some folks who are concernedabout how rapidly the money fiows out. There are those in the Federal Government; won't name any place I llke ONB or any oth~r,who may try to balance the
budget by minimizing the amountof outflow of the money, and we must resist that. Congress recognized that you will not alwayshave a balanced cash flow in any one year. They provideda mechanismso that was~'tnecessary. While the program must be funded sufficiently to assurefull cost recovery,it does not require that balancedcash flow in any one year. There are so~e who are concernedabout the equity associatedin the contracts, but we are pleased to have them. They provide the lubrication to get the job done. We really Here never under illusionthat we would get a Fair and equitable contractwith DOE, with firm con~itments and detai}edperformance standards, with penalties for non-performance. were not really looking We expressedby the utilitiesthat were not resolved,as we believe equitablyduring the fully expectto see a petitioninitiatedFor rule-making achievea more reasonable to questionis not involved.It is a matter(}f some the thingswe heard this morning which were not embodiedin the contract, While no petitionhas been initiatedyet, the utility industryhas identified several elements that appear to be worthy of such a position,and it can be done by anyone at any time. In all probabl]ity will be revisitedseveral times it over the many decades that these contractsare in force. After all, these contractsare expected to be paying in as long as any utility is generating nuclear electricity, and that, we hope, is for several decades,l~hen the contracts have been signed,one could questionabout deliverables cemparedto the time in which the contractmight challenge~hether t~e equity principleis satisfiedor whether the contracts really bind only one party; the utilities.That won't be resolved,but it is a question. While the contractas it exists, a few utilitiesand an owner of spent fuel, have initiatedlawsuits againstDOE on specificprovlsions the of

~ , September 25 r 1992 Group # F~TD 92-6~6

Y-L03-04-O~
SUMMArY/RECOMMENDATION The Standard Contract for spent fuel disposal requires Yankee to submit a Delivery Commitment Schedule (DOS) to DOE for at least the first year of operation of DOE's Waste Manaqement System (WMS), currently considered by DOE to be 1998, by September 1992. DOE's instructions for DCS submittal specify that the quantity which DOE will accept must not exceed allocations specified in the December 1991 Annual Capacity Report (ACR). Along with year one, DCSs can also be submitted for any of succeeding year's allocations listed in the ACR. We recommend that Y~u%kee deviate from DOE's instructions to comply with ACR allocations and request that DOE accept all of Yankee's spent fuel in the first three years of WMS operation. DISCUSSION The Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel/High Level Radioactive Waste requires that purchasers who have allocations for spent fuel disposal in the 1991 ACR in the first year of WMS operation, currently considered by DOE to be 1998, must submit a DCS for this allocation to DOE by no later than September 30, 1992. Failure to do so will result in Yankee loosing its place in the queue; i.e. Yankee would have no allocation riqhts in year one. ~ copy of the DOS form is .~ttached. A ptLrohaser,s allocation is based on the 1991 Acceptance Priority Ranking which is a listing of all domestic spent fuel discharged through December 1990 in chronological order, with oldest fuel first. Although a purchaser is only required to submit a DCS if it has an allocation in the first year, DOE does~not prohibit submittals for any of the purchas~r,s allocations during the i0 years of WMS operation show~ in the ACR. In fact, DOE requests that each purchaser submit DCSs for as many allocations as possible to assist them in the planning of the WMS. I have attached the schedule from the ACR showing Yankee's projected delivery allocation during the initial 10 years of WMS operation. It shows that DOE will accept a total of 56.1 MTU of spent fuel during the period. Deliveries are scheduled in years one through four and six and eight. This quantity is less than half the fuel in the pool. Although, instructions for completing

R. M. Grubs September 25, 1992 Page 2 the DCSS say DOE will reject those which do not correspond with the allocations show~ in the 1991 ACE, it is recommended that we deviate from DOE's instructions and request DOE accept all of lq~s spent fuel during the first three years of WMS operation. In doing this we will not jeopardize our right to an allocation in the initial year of WMS operation. However, DOE has the right to reject our request and if rejected will require us to submit revised DCSs. Further, if DOE does not accept the revised DCSs, we are required to negotiate an acceptable schedule with DOE. Acceptance of all Y~PS spent fuel within three years of WMS startup is consistent with Yankee's desire to remove spent fuel from the site as soon as possible to permit orderly decommissioning. It should also be logistically possible to remove all of the spen~ fuel over a three year period with the proper compliment of multi-element truck casks. More significantly, our request to deliver all Y~PS spent fuel on an accelerated schedule will highlight the importance to us for timely acceptance and removal of spent fuel from YAWPS. Hopefully, our request will have positive effects especially for those reactors which are decom~iss ~oned or are currently contemplating decommissioning; i.e. that it will play a role in convincing DOE to either give priority to permanently shutdown reactors or perhaps increase acceptance rates as a means of assuring timely decommissioning.
