Abstract: The NWPA-830 G is the source document for entries into the DOE accounting records to transmit data from utilities concerning payment of their fees for spent nuclear fuel and high-level waste disposal into the Nuclear Waste Fund. This form is used by electric utilities, vendors, and owners of nuclear fuel to report net power generation and to compensate DOE for the services for disposal of their fuel. The information collected will be used to determine the accuracy of quarterly fees collected, if any, under the Standard Contract signed by the owners of nuclear fuel and DOE.
