All the bonds are traded on exchange. Hence, we can assume the Liquidity risk premium to be zero everywhere. Hence, LRP = 0
Nominal interest rate = RRFR + Inflation premium rate + DRP + MRP + LRP
Accordingly, Nominal interest rate has been calculated as the sum of real risk free rate (RRFR) and all the premiums. Please see the second row in the table below. That will help you understand how nominal interest rate has been calculated. If everything is correct, nominal interest rate will work out to be same as 30 year C bond rate. You can see that this indeed is the case below.
