Selection To Initiate the Compact
Process
The Board also authorized MCC to
invite Ghana and Georgia to submit a
proposal for a second compact, as
described in section 609 of the Act (22
U.S.C. 7708).
Submission of a proposal is not a
guarantee that MCC will finalize a
compact with an eligible country. Any
MCA assistance provided under section
605 of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7704) will be
contingent on the successful negotiation
of a mutually agreeable compact
between the eligible country and MCC,
approval of the compact by the Board,
and the availability of funds.

SUMMARY: DG–1229 was previously
issued for public comment in June 2009,
and the Commission approved RG 1.159
subject to changes which are spelled out
in a Staff Requirements Memorandum
dated October 25, 2010
(ML1029805650). Because of the nature
of the changes, the draft guide is being
reissued for comment, and during that
period, NRR will hold a public
workshop to solicit comments from
stakeholders and other relevant experts
on the use of the net present value
method for parent guarantees in license
transfer cases.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
parts of the NRC’s regulations,
techniques that the staff uses in
evaluating specific problems or
postulated accidents, and data that the
staff needs in its review of applications
for permits and licenses.
The draft regulatory guide (DG),
entitled, ‘‘Assuring the Availability of
Funds for Decommissioning Nuclear
Reactors,’’ is temporarily identified by
its task number, DG–1229, which
should be mentioned in all related
correspondence. DG–1229 is proposed
Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.159,
dated October 2003.
The general requirements for
applications for license termination and
decommissioning nuclear power,
research, and test reactors appear in
Title 10, Part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of
Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ of
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR
Part 50). Subsequent to the original
publication of this regulatory guide in
August 1990, the NRC promulgated
amendments to 10 CFR Part 50 in the
Federal Register on September 22, 1998
(63 FR 50465). Various amendments
modified 10 CFR 50.33(k), 10 CFR
50.75, ‘‘Reporting and Recordkeeping for
Decommissioning Planning,’’ and 10
CFR 50.82(b), which require operating
license applicants and existing licensees
to submit information on how
reasonable assurance will be provided
that funds are available to
decommission the facility. The NRC
promulgated additional amendments to
10 CFR 50.75 on December 24, 2002, in
the Federal Register (67 FR 78332). As
amended, 10 CFR 50.75 establishes
requirements for indicating how this
assurance will be provided; namely, the
amount of funds that must be provided,
including updates; the methods to be
used for assuring funds; and provisions
contained in trust agreements for
safeguarding decommissioning funds.
This document provides guidance to
applicants and licensees of nuclear
power, research, and test reactors
concerning methods acceptable to the
staff of the NRC for complying with
requirements in the rules regarding the
amount of funds for decommissioning.
It also provides guidance on the content
and form of the financial assurance
mechanisms in those rule amendments.
