The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment Revision 17 of draft NUREG-1307, ``Report on Waste Burial Charges: Changes in Decommissioning Waste Disposal Costs at Low- Level Waste Burial Facilities.'' This report, which is revised periodically, explains the formula acceptable to the NRC for determining the minimum decommissioning fund requirements for nuclear power reactors. Specifically, this report provides escalation factors, and updates to these values, for the labor, energy, and waste components of the minimum formula.
