Recommendations

Improve process controls to ensure all annual reviews of decommissioning status reports are complete and have undergone the review process.

Update LIC-205 to clarify DFS report reviewer roles and responsibilities, procedures for closeout letters, and procedures for tracking DFS report analyses.

Implement a central tracking mechanism to track the status of the annual DFS report analyses.

Periodically assess, through communication with cognizant regulators or by other means, trustee compliance with the master trust fund agreements in accordance with investment restrictions in 10 CFR 50.75.
