The audit disclosed that the cost of the Mixed Oxide Fuel Facility (MOX) will significantly exceed the amounts reported to Congress. As of July 2005, the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA's) unvalidated estimate for the design and construction of the MOX Facility was about $3.5 billion, which is $2.5 billion more than reported to Congress in 2002. NNSA's previous estimate of $1 billion for the facility's design and construction was reported in the February 2002 plutonium disposition plan presented to Congress. NNSA reported that it had a high degree of confidence in the estimate because the MOX technology was well-established and based on proven processes used in Europe since the 1960s, and it expected modifications to the technology to be relatively minor. NNSA also stated that the facility's design was about 60 percent complete at the time of the 2002 report.

Docket No. EO-05-01. This report describes AERMOD modeling results performed for Unit 1 at Mirant's Potomac River Generating Station. The purpose of these runs was to demonstrate that operation of Unit 1 for 24 hours a day loads from 35MW to 88 MW with the use of trona to reduce SO2 emissions will not cause or contribute to modeled excceedences of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Mirant proposes to use trona on an as needed basis to limit SO2 emissions to less than 0.89lb/MMBtu and 14,800 lb/day, whichever is more stringent.

Docket No. EO-05-01. Order No. 202-05-3: Pursuant to the authority vested in the Secretary of Energy by section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C. § 824a(c), and section 301(b) of the Department of Energy Organization Act, 42 U.S.c. § 7151(b), and for the reasons set forth below, [hereby determine that an emergency exists due to a shortage of electric energy, a shortage of facilities for the generation of electric energy, a shortage of facilities for the transmission of electric energy and other causes, and that issuance of this order will meet the emergency and serve the public interest. Therefore, Mirant Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Mirant Potomac River, LLC (collectively referred to herein as Mirant), are hereby ordered to generate electricity at their Potomac River Generating Station (the "Plant") pursuant to the terms of this order.
