Background
• USEC met with NRC-HQ .in November2009 to discuss the requirements for de-lease of facilities governed by NRC TSRs
" The result of the meeting. was that NRCconfirmed that prior NRC approval of aCertificate Amendment Request wasrequired to delete such TSRs andfacilities from the Certificate
Sei. " tt.u. 3

Scope of De-Lease Plans
De-Lease primary UF6 Processing Facilities
- De-Lease all Process Buildings (X-326, X-330, X-333) by September 30, 2010
- De-Lease all Autoclave Facilities (X-343, X-344, X-342) by September 30, 2010
- The above facilities have TSRs, NCSAs, andSAR Commitments
° Retain X-705 Decontamination Building, X-710Laboratory, Maintenance Facilities, and CylinderYards, and Utility supply & distribution systems
-ree# 4
Current UF 6 FacilityConditions
• Enrichment cascade shutdown;minimal inventory in cascade cellsand support equipment
° Most withdrawal capacity in coldshutdown minimal liquid UF6
operations in X-326
* Limited liquid UF6 operations in X-344 and X-342; X-343 in coldshutdown
5
Scope of Facilities &Operations to be Transferred
to DOE* Enrichment already in cold shutdown* X-333, X-330 and X-326 limited operations for
deposit removal, UF6 cleanup andrepackaging, equipment removal for PGDP &ACP
- Low inventory and pressures in enrichmentand support equipment
- Limited UF withdrawals at Extended RangeProduct (ERP) and X-326 ProductWithdrawal (PW)
* X-344, X-342, X-343 facilities operations fordeposit removal, UF6 cleanup and repackaging- Liquid UF6 transfer and sampling

Justification for CAR
" After De-Lease, USEC will no longer controlfacilities and thus cannot comply with NRCTSRs; also, NRC will no longer regulate thede-leased facilities
" Enrichment shutdown has reduced risk topublic and workers from Process Buildings andAutoclave Facility remaining operations
° Postulated accidents from these facilities afterde-lease would not have significant effect onremaining Leased, NRC-Certified operations
* Overall risk would remain well within thecurrent NRC Safety Basis
7
TSRs Requested to be Deletedfrom Certificate by CAR
• All Process Buildings enrichment and supportoperations TSRs
° All withdrawal facility TSRs
• All autoclave facility TSRs
° Selected Definitions and parts ofAdministrative TSRs that were related only tothe facilities and operations being de-leased toDOE and discontinued under Certificate (e.g.minimum staffing for transferred operations)

TSRs Remaining UnderCertificate
" Almost all of TSRs Section 1, Use andApplication remain
* X-705 TSRs remaining in total• CAAS TSR for Miscellaneous Facilities (X-
710, X-720, X-700, XT-847
* Almost all of TSRs Section 3, "AdministrativeControls" remain
yvIOnItN~s Fit;9
SSCs Important to SafetyPlant Interfaces
* CAAS: operable for DOE use; de-lease isolationpoint in USEC area
* Building Evacuation systems (P.A.): operable forDOE use; delease isolation point in USEC area
* Fire alarm systems: operable for DOE use; de-lease isolation point in USEC area
* High Pressure Fire Water System (HPFWS):operable for DOE use; de-lease isolation pointin USEC area
* Portions of the Fire alarm systems and HPFWSwill be modified to ensure that future DOE D&Dactivities would not impact function of thesesystems in Certified space
10
'Utility System Interfaces
Utilities to be available for DOE use;isolation points in USEC space, exceptas noted below
- Electrical - some isolation points will bewithin DOE Process Building due to'LOTOconcerns; but would not affect any NRCCertified facilities
- Air & Nitrogen
- Water
- Sanitary and storm-sewers- Steam (one inside X-326 PB)
11
Air Emission PermitsWater Discharge Permits
• USEC will continue as "operator" forthe radioactive air emission(NESHAP) permits under contract toDOE for Process Buildings andAutoclave facilities
* USEC retain NPDES Permit forwater discharge points; keepCertificate requirements for wateroutfalls
12
CARSignificance Determination
Key Points
No Significant Increase in Probability orConsequences of SAR Evaluated Accidents
- No change to plant safety analysis or controlsfor remaining NRC Certified operations
- Scope of DOE BIO is within operationspreviously analyzed in current NRC SAR
13
,-A,ý,
;,(,IU
CAR SignificanceDetermination
Key Points (cont.)No new or different type of accident would becreated by the proposed change- No new failure modes or initiating events
than previously evaluated in remainingCertified operations
- No new failure conditions for SSCs relied onby Certificate from DOE operations in de-leased facilities or interfaces with USECSSCs
14
!•CAR Significance DeterminationKey Points (cont.)
Proposed change does not result in undue riskto Public, Worker, Environment or CommonDefense and Security
- Does not alter remaining Certifiedoperations or physical plant; interfaces arecontrolled to prevent impact on Certifiedoperations from DOE actions
- DOE and NRC standards. for handlingwaste and protecting the environment areequivalent
- Security posture remains essentiallyunchanged
DOE operational changes would be evaluatedand communicated via Shared Site Process toallow USEC to evaluated potential impacts
q v t, iqm 1
Summary of CARSignificance
* Remaining Certified operations are relativelyunaffected by the de-lease and DOE operationsin the former enrichment facilities
• DOE operations at turnover are bounded bycurrent SAR safety envelope and are beingused as foundation for DOE safety basis
* Overall significance of change to existing risk islow; for remaining NRC Certificate operations,no USQ, no decrease in effectiveness ofprograms, no undue risk to the public, worker,environment or security
16
CDOE Safety & Authorization
Basis for Accepting De-LeaseDOE has determined that the transfer will be a''seamless" transfer; the new AuthorizationBasis (AB) will allow DOE to perform alloperations that are currently being performedby USEC under the Certificate in the ProcessBuildings and Autoclave Facilities
° DOE has contracted with USEC to prepare theAB and Safety Basis (SB) utilizing the existingNRC Certificate Safety Basis, safetymanagement programs, with the implementingprocedures, systems and engineeringdocuments and existing OSHA and EPAcompliance envelope (as they apply to thefacilities and operations being returned to
vi._, DOE) 17
Current NRC Safety Basis
* Developed under DOE regulation usingearly versions of current standards andapproved in 1997
* Updated and submitted to NRC (SARand TSRs) in September 2003
* Is also the Safety Basis for DOERegulatory Oversight Agreement (ROA)that allows DOE to regulate USEC-leased, but not NRC Certifiedareas/operations
18
DOE Facility SafetyFramework
Authorization Agreement (similar to NRC License orCertificate)Authorization Basis
- Safety Basis and SER, Environmental Permits andother environmental commitments, Integrated SafetyManagement System (ISMS), EnvironmentalManagement System (EMS), Verification reports,Readiness Reviews (if needed)
Safety Basis- Basis for Interim Operation (BIO), TSRs, USQs, JCOs- Supporting documents (NCSAs, NS analyses)- Safety Management Programs (SMPs)- Flowdown/implementation documents (procedures,
design basis documents)Preparation and Review in progress; completed,approved and implemented by 9/30/10

Summary
NRC regulation continues to assure adequatesafety for public and workers and compliancewith 10 CFR 76 and NRC CertificateNRC review and prior approval of CAR willidentify any issues regarding transition ofregulatory authority to DOEThe CAR process and timing will allow for anysafety or regulatory issues to be resolved withDOE Authorization Basis prior to transition, thusutilizing regulatory resources more effectivelyWill allow for meeting DOE programmatic andschedule objectives
