EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report, prepared by TLG Services, Inc. (TLG), provides estimated costs for the
complete dismantling of the following electric generating stations:
Public Service Co. of Colorado, a wholly-owned utility subsidiary ofXcel Energy, either
owns or has a share in ownership of these stations. All of the stations are located in
Colorado.
The dismantling estimate includes the cost of removing the power generating
equipment such as boilers, turbine generators, fuel handling equipment, system
equipment, and structures for each of the above-referenced stations. The electrical
switchyards are assumed to remain in place and are not included in the estimate.
The scope of the dismantling estimate includes the following significant cost elements:
Isolation of the units in preparation for safe dismantling (ensuring systems are
de-energized to ensure a safe dismantling environment)
Abatement of asbestos containing materials prior to dismantling (where
applicable)
Labor, equipment, and material costs associated with the removal and
disposition of all installed equipment
Labor, equipment, and material costs associated with the demolition and
disposition of buildings and foundations (to a depth of 3 feet below grade)
Demolition contractor's on-site management, engmeermg, safety, and
administrative staff
PSCo's fractional ownership share in Craig and Hayden is not reflected in the cost
estimate. This estimate accounts for 100% of the cost for dismantling Craig Units 1
and 2, and Hayden.
This cost estimate is prepared by applying unit cost factors (developed for each
inventory item from prior dismantling experience or similar related experience)
against the station specific inventory. Costs for project management, shared
equipment and consumables, and similar types of costs are estimated on a period
dependent basis (i.e., the magnitude of the expense depends, in part, on the duration of
the project and the types of activities taking place). While equipment salvage is not
included, the potential value of scrap from materials generated in dismantling the
boilers, plant components, and building structural steel is included as a credit in the
. dismantling cost estimate. Contingency is provided within this estimate to account for
unpredictable project events.
This estimate includes the costs to remove all structures on the site to a nominal level
of three feet below grade. Concerns for worker safety reinforce the need for a
cont:rolled approach. The cost estimates reflect demolition by controlled/engineered
dismantling.
Limited site landscaping includes grading and seeding for drainage and erOSIOn

A cost credit associated with the disposition of scrap metals
Cost contingency
Ongoing environmental monitoring of the facilities after the completion
of the dismantling and demolition
PSCo's fractional ownership share in Craig and Hayden is not reflected in the
cost estimate. This estimate accounts for 100% of the cost for dismantling Craig
Units 1 and 2, and Hayden.
Costs are provided for each station, identified by significant cost element. The
cost per station includes the costs for dismantling the generating unit and the
common station facilities. Costs are provided in 2010 dollars.
This cost estimate was prepared by applying unit cost factors (developed for
each inventory item from prior dismantling experience or similar related
experience) against the station specific inventory. Costs for project
management, shared equipment and consumables, and similar types of costs
are estimated on a period-dependent basis (i.e., the magnitude of the expense
depends, in part, on the duration of the project and the types of activities taking
place). While equipment salvage is not included, the potential value of scrap
This estimate includes the costs to remove all structures on the site to a
nominal level of three feet below grade. Concerns for worker safety reinforce
the need for a controlled approach. The cost estimates reflect demolition by
controlled/engineered dismantling.
Limited site landscaping includes grading and seeding for drainage and erosion
control.
2. DISMANTLING OPERATIONS
The estimate for dismantling the stations is based on the complete removal of the
units and common station facilities (except where noted). The following sections
describe the project organization, basic activities, and special equipment necessary for
accomplishing the dismantling project.
For the purposes of this study, the dismantling project for each station is
assumed to be managed by an Xcel Energy Project Director, who would have the
primary responsibility for dismantling the station. A Dismantling Contractor,
experienced in dismantling similar facilities, would be hired as the prime
contractor for the removal of plant components and site facilities. The
Dismantling Contractor's Project Manager would report to the Project Director.
The Dismantling Contractor would manage and supervise the dismantling
activities of the station and be responsible for completing the work in an
expeditious and safe manner. Contractor personnel would manage and direct
the labor force in accordance with approved procedures and in accordance with
a health and safety program. The owner's staff would maintain and/or provide
the engineering, safety, and environmental compliance oversight, and the
security services necessary to support dismantling operations. Figures 2.1 and
2.2 identify typical organizations for the plant/utility staff and the associated
contractor personnel during the dismantling phase of the project. The smaller
facilities included within this estimate would have a commensurately smaller
project organization (Blue Spruce, Cameo, Rocky Mountain, Valmont and
Zuni).
The estimate is based on each station being shut down and placed into a post
shutdown configuration by the plant staff. The length of time that the facility is
in this configuration is indeterminate; consequently the costs for maintaining
the facility in this configuration are not included within the scope of this
dismantling estimate. The activities to be completed post-shutdown, but prior to
station dismantling, include:
Except for the hazardous materials survey, costs to conduct these activities
have not been included in this estimate. The plant operations and maintenance
staff would be expected to perform these activities in the interval of time
between final plant shutdown, and the onset of the dismantling program.
The actual dismantling program begins once the station owner has decided to
dismantle the site, either immediately following final shutdown, or after a
period of storage following final shutdown. The dismantling program has been
organized into three distinct periods: Period 1 - EngineeringlPlanning and
Asbestos and Other Hazardous Material Abatement (if necessary); Period 2
Dismantling Operations; and Period 3 - Site Restoration. This section
summarizes the activities performed under each Period of the program.
For the purposes of this estimate it is assumed that once the decision to
dismantle has been made and a project start date established, the work in each
of these periods will be completed successively (no delay between periods). This
report does not attempt to describe all of the activities necessary to dismantle a
station, but identifies representative activities appropriate to this type of
project.
Engineering/Planning:
A preliminary planning phase of the program begins once it is has been
determined that a station will be dismantled and the project has been
authorized to proceed. During this phase, the owner assembles its
dismantling management organization, makes appropriate decisions
regarding the extent of dismantling and the approach to managing the
activities, and accomplishes those site preparation activities necessary to
transition from a plant shutdown configuration to site dismantling. For
purposes of this estimate it is assumed that the intent is to dismantle the
entire station as a single project. Costs incurred during this preliminary
phase of the program are included in the dismantling costs presented in
this study.

3. COST ESTIMATE
The basis, methodology, and assumptions for the site-specific cost estimate are
described in the following paragraphs.
The PSCo representative units selected for the estimate are as follows:
Arapahoe 3 - 45 MWe
Cherokee 3 - 151 MWe
Comanche 1 - 325 MWe
Ft. St. Vrain 1- 300 MWe
Ft. St. Vrain 2 -130 MWe
In developing an estimate, the cost of labor, equipment and material, credit for
scrap, and similar costs will influence the results of the estimate. The basis for
the significant cost drivers are:
1. Craft labor rates are based on existing contracts with craft labor contractors.
These rates were provided by Xcel Energy (Ref. 1).
2. Utility labor rates are based on current labor costs for positions likely to be
employed during the dismantling project. These rates were provided by Xcel
Energy (Ref. 2).
3. Material and equipment costs for conventional demolition and/or
construction activities, Contractors Insurance, Small Tools Allowance,
Permit / Fees, and Contractor's Fee are based on RS. Means Construction
Cost Data (Ref. 3).
4. Scrap metal prices are based on indices published by Recycler's World (Ref.
4).
5. Contingency, contractor fee, contractor insurance, environmental sampling,
and permits & fees are based upon RS. Means Construction Cost Data.
6. Costs in this estimate are in 2010 dollars.
7. Property taxes (or payments in lieu of taxes) are not included within the
estimate.
8. The estimate to dismantle the stations does not address credit associated
with the residual value of the land.
3.2 METHODOLOGY
The methodology used to develop the cost estimate follows the basic approach
presented in the AIF/NESP-036, "Guidelines for Producing Commercial Nuclear
Power Plant Decommissioning Cost Estimates" (Ref. 5) and the US DOE
"Decommissioning Handbook" (Ref. 6). These publications utilize a unit factor
method for estimating decommissioning activity costs to simplify the estimating
calculations. Unit cost factors for concrete removal ($/cubic yard), steel removal
($/ton), and cutting costs ($/in) are developed from the labor cost information
from R S. Means. The activity-dependent costs are estimated using item
quantities (cubic yards, tons, inches, etc.) developed from plant drawings and
inventory documents. The unit factors used in this study reflect the latest
available information on worker productivity in plant dismantling. A sample
unit cost factor is provided in Appendix C. A list of unit cost factors is provided
in Appendix D.
The unit cost factor method provides a demonstrable basis for establishing
reliable cost estimates. The detail of activities for labor costs, equipment and
consumables costs provide assurance that cost elements have not been omitted.
Detailed unit cost factors, coupled with the site-specific inventory of piping,
components and structures provide confidence in the cost estimates.
Examples of items that could occur but have not otherwise been accounted for in
this estimate include: labor work stoppages, bad weather delays, equipmentJtool
breakage, changes in the anticipated plant shutdown conditions, etc. These
types of unforeseeable events are discussed in the AIF/NESP-036 study.
Guidelines are also provided for applying contingency.
3.3 ASSUMPTIONS
Economic Assumptions
15. Post-shutdown "dormancy" costs (i.e., security and maintenance on any
of the units retired prematurely) are not included in the study.
16. Escalation/inflation of the costs over the remaining operating life is not
included.
17. A 12.5% fee is added to the Demolition Contractor's cost to account for
its overhead and profit.
18. A 25% contingency is applied to asbestos remediation activities.
19. A 15% contingency is applied to all remaining dismantling-related costs.
20. An allowance has been included for post-dismantling environmental
monitoring costs (where applicable)
21. A credit for scrap metal cost recovery is included in the estimates.
Retired plant equipment is assumed to have no value as salvage (sold for
re-use).
27. Chimney stacks will be blasted to the ground and broken into rubble,
the steel liners cut and removed, and the foundations control-blasted to
break the concrete in place so that groundwater drainage is provided.
28. The dismantling of the electrical equipment terminates at the switch
yard boundary. The switch yard is left intact.
29. Concrete rubble generated during dismantling will be used as fill where
needed.
30. The site will be graded; however, no effort was included in this estimate
to restore the original contour of the land. Ground cover will be
established for erosion controL
31. Roads, parking lots, etc., are removed after the facility is dismantled
(with the exception ofthe immediate area around the switchyard).
Scheduling Assumptions
32. All work is performed during an eight-hour workday, five days per week,
with no overtime.
33. Multiple crews work parallel activities to the maximum extent possible,
consistent with efficiency (adequate access for cutting, removal, and
laydlown space) and with industrial safety appropriate for demolition of
heavy components and structures.
34. Scheduling was calculated without constraints on availability of labor,
equipment, or materials.

The dismantling of a fossil plant typically occurs after a lengthy plant operating life.
The existing plant equipment can be considered obsolete and suitable for scrap as
deadweight quantities only. The dismantling techniques assumed by TLG for
equipment in this analysis are not consistent with removal techniques required for
salvage (resale) of equipment. Experience has indicated that buyers prefer equipment
stripped down to very specific requirements before they would consider purchase. This
can require expensive work to remove the equipment from its installed location, which
is inconsistent with the rapid dismantling approach assumed in this estimate. Since
placing a salvage value on this machinery and equipment would be speculative, and
the value would be small in comparison to the overall cost of dismantling, this analysis
does not attempt to quantify the value that an owner may realize based upon those
efforts.
Furniture, tools, mobile equipment such as forklifts, trucks, bulldozers, and other
property is removed at no cost or credit to the dismantling project. Disposition may
include relocation to other facilities. Spare parts are made available for alternative
use.
The materials used in the equipment and buildings are suitable for recycle as scrap
metals. As such, an estimated value of the scrap metal credit has been developed and
applied to each station's cost estimate. The value of scrap was estimated using current
market values extracted from published sources and applying this value to the
estimated quantities of materials generated from the dismantling project. There were
four basic types of metals used in the scrap estimates; carbon steel (the most common
material used at the station), copper, stainless steel (high alloy steel) and aluminum.
The scrap credit, in addition to considering the quantity and types of materials, also
considered the cost of handling and transporting these materials to a major scrap
processing location (Los Angeles, CA area) where scrap is extensively used or sold.
The value of the scrap credit is reduced to account for transportation costs from
Colorado to California.
The basis for the value of scrap metal is summarized in Table 4.1. A summary of the
scrap quantities, by material type, produced from dismantling each station is provided
in Table 4.2. An estimate of the total scrap credit, after the scrap quantities have been
applied against the scrap metal prices, is provided in Table 4.3.

Note 3: The estimated cost for handling and transporting the materials to a major scrap processing
center in the Los Angeles, CA area is $103.27/ ton or $0.052 / pound.
Note 4: Due to its location, Cameo has a different estimated cost for handling and transporting the
materials to a major scrap processing center in the Los Angeles, CA area. The corresponding
values for Cameo are is $ 87.41 / ton or $0.044 / pound.
Note 5: The scrap metal credit reflects the market value of scrap adjusted for handling and transport
cost to local scrap metal recycler.

5. RESULTS
An estimate for dismantling each of the Xcel Energy fossil-fuel generating stations in
Colorado was developed by applying the system and structures inventories against the
associated unit cost factors and accounting for program support costs. A summary of
each station's major cost categories is presented in Table 5.1. Breakdowns ofthe major
cost categories by unit and common facilities are provided in Tables 5.2a through n.
The following is an explanation of the contents of each line item in these tables:
Station Unit Rating (MWe) - This is the nominal electrical rating of each unit at the
station. In Table 5.1 this represents the sum of all units on site.
Scaffolding / Worker Access - The cost associated with providing safe access to areas
of the station being dismantled.
Asbestos Remediation - The cost associated with remediating asbestos from the station
prior to initiating dismantling activities. It should be noted that dismantling can
proceed much more efficiently if asbestos containing materials have been removed.
Equipment Removal - The cost associated with removing all station equipment
(piping, valves, heat exchangers, tanks, electrical equipment, etc.).
Structures Demolition - The cost associated with demolishing the buildings and
concrete foundations (to three feet below grade, Grand Meadow removes all below
grade materials).
Backfill / Grade / Landscaping - The cost associated with backfilling below grade
voids, and grading and landscaping the grounds to preclude erosion of soils.
Ongoing Environmental Monitoring (quarterly for 5 years) - The cost associated with
monitoring the environment around the station after the completion of dismantling
activities.
Demolition Contractor Staff - The contractor's staff assigned to manage, engineer, and
supervise the dismantling project.
Shared Heavy Equipment / Operating Engineers - The cost for renting I operating
equipment in general use throughout the dismantling project (cranes, trucks, forklifts,
front-end loaders, etc.).
Utilities Allowance (Office Equip & supplies / Telephone, Electric etc.) - The cost for
Contingency - The cost to cover expenses for unforeseen events that are likely to occur.
Scrap Credit - A credit to the project for the recovery of scrap metals.
Unit (Table 5.2) - Costs directly attributed to the physical work associated with
Common (Table 5.2) - Costs directly attributed to the physical work associated with
dismantling facilities shared by more than one unit.
Station (Table 5.2) - Costs associated with supporting the physical dismantling work
for a station.
This study provides an estimate for dismantling under current requirements, based on
present-day costs and available technology. As inputs to the cost model change over
time, such as labor rates, equipment costs, scrap metal value, etc., this cost estimate
should be reviewed and updated to reflect these changes.

APPENDIX A
APPENDIX A
The basic concept is that a similar unit, with a rating 20% greater than a
representative unit, does not have a 20% increase in inventory. Using the scale of
operation method, the component would have a (120%/100%) 0.65 = 112.6%, or a
12.6% increase in size or quantity. Practically, this is interpreted to mean that a
pipe carrying 20% more fluid (e.g. feedwater) would be approximately 12.6% larger
In size.
For units that are essentially identical, but may have slight differences in electrical
ratings due to local conditions (efficiency of units), the inventories are also
considered identical.

Example: Unit Factor for Removal of Heat Exchanger < 3,000 pounds
1. SCOPE
Heat exchangers weighing < 3,000 lb. will be removed in one piece using a crane or
small hoist. They will be disconnected from the inlet and outlet piping. The heat
exchanger will be sent to the laydown area.
2. CAI~CULATIONS
Duration adjustment(s):
+ Work break adjustment (8.33 % of productive duration) 20
Total work duration (minutes) 260
3. LABOR REQUIRED
ConsumableslMaterials Costs
Durations are shown in minutes. The integrated duration accounts for those
activities that can be performed in conjunction with other activities,
indicated by the alpha designator of the concurrent activity. This results in
an overall decrease in the sequenced duration.
\;york difficulty factors were developed in conjunction with the AIF program
to standardize decommissioning cost studies and are delineated in the
"Guidelines" study (Reference 2, VoL 1, Chapter 5).
