Discussion NUREG–1307, Revision 16, ‘‘Report on Waste Burial Charges: Changes in Decommissioning Waste Disposal Costs at Low-Level Waste Burial Facilities,’’ modifies the previous revision to this report issued in January 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13023A030), and incorporates updates to the adjustment factors for the labor, energy, and waste components of the NRC minimum decommissioning fund formula. This revision also incorporates changes resulting from newly available low-level waste disposal capacity at the Andrews County, Texas facility established in 2012, and changes made to waste disposal costs resulting from a contractor reassessment of the assumptions for LLW classification. As a result of these changes, the minimum decommissioning fund formula amounts calculated by licensees, based on revised low-level waste burial factors presented in this report, will likely reflect (on average) lower minimum decommissioning fund requirements than those previously reported by licensees in 2015.

ACTION: Draft regulatory guide; request for comment. AGENCY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment draft regulatory guide (DG) DG–1327, ‘‘Pressurized Water Reactor Control Rod Ejection and Boiling Water Reactor Control Rod Drop Accidents.’’ This DG proposes new guidance for analyzing accidents such as control rod ejection for pressurized water reactors and control rod drop for boiling-water reactors. It defines fuel cladding failure thresholds for ductile failure, brittle failure, and pellet-clad mechanical interaction and provides radionuclide release fractions for use in assessing radiological consequences. It also describes analytical limits and guidance for demonstrating compliance with regulations governing reactivity limits. DATES: Submit comments by February 21, 2017. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date.

II. Discussion

    NUREG-1307, Revision 16, ``Report on Waste Burial Charges: Changes 
in Decommissioning Waste Disposal Costs at Low-Level Waste Burial 
Facilities,'' modifies the previous revision to this report issued in 
January 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13023A030), and incorporates 
updates to the adjustment factors for the labor, energy, and waste 
components of the NRC minimum decommissioning fund formula. This 
revision also incorporates changes resulting from newly available low-
level waste disposal capacity at the Andrews County, Texas facility 
established in 2012, and changes made to waste disposal costs resulting 
from a contractor reassessment of the assumptions for LLW 
classification. As a result of these changes, the minimum 
decommissioning fund formula amounts calculated by licensees, based on 
revised low-level waste burial factors presented in this report, will 
likely reflect (on average) lower minimum decommissioning fund 
requirements than those previously reported by licensees in 2015.
