Duke Energy Florida, Inc.; Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing exemptions in response to a March 28, 2014, request from Duke Energy Florida, Inc. (DEF or the licensee), representing itself and the other owners. The exemptions permit the use of the Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant (CR-3) decommissioning trust fund (the Trust) for irradiated fuel management and site restoration activities in addition to decommissioning activities and allow the licensee to use withdrawals from the Trust for these purposes without prior notification to the NRC, similar to withdrawals for decommissioning activities. The NRC has reviewed the Trust and determined that, at this time, there is reasonable assurance of sufficient financial resources in the Trust for both irradiated fuel management and site restoration activities as well as to complete decommissioning activities.
