' TOPIC II-1.A, EXCLUSION-AREA AUTORTTY AND CONTROL I.
INTRO DU CTI ON The safety objective of this topic is to assure that appropriate ex-clusion area authority and control are maintained by the licensee as required by 10 CFR Part 100.
II.
REVIEW CRITERIA Section 100.3(a) of.10 CFR Part 100 requires that a reactor licensee have the authority to determine all activities within the designated area, in-cluding the exclusion and removal of personnel and property.
III.
RELATED SAFETY TOPICS Topic XIII-1, "Conduct of Operations" will assure that the licensee can adequately specify proper operation in routine, accident and emergency conditions. The topic is being covered as part of the NRC TMI Task Action Pl an.
IV.
REVIEW GUIDELINES The.review.was conducted in accordance with the guidance given in SRP 2.1.2. The capability of the plant to meet the dose criteria of 10 CFR Part 100 at the exclusion area boundary will be evaluated in the Design Event phase of the SEP review.
EVALUATION The Dresden Nuclear Generating Station is located in Goose Lake Township, Grundy County in the State of Illinois. The plant site is approximately 14 miles southwest of the city of Joliet, Illinois and 25 miles south of Aµrora, Illinois. The site property comprises approximately 953 acres, with approximately 450 acres leased to a neighboring farmer for cattle grazing and field crops.
The lease has been modified with a clause which allows Commonwealth Edison to have "sole authority to determine the right of access and the rig ht to be present in the area covered by this 1 ease" when the Generating Station Emergency Plan (GSEP) is in effect. In addi-tion to Unit 2, Unit l and 3 also occupy part of the site.
No public
- highways or railroads transverse the exclusion area.
The exclusion area.
and prjnciple plant. structures* are shown in-atta-ched Figu.re 2.2.1, which is a: common.. !exclusion area for all three nucle_ar,units.
The exclusion area radius of 800 meters 1s defined in Section l.2 of the Commonwealth Edison-GSEP (3). Through direct ownership including mineral rights or a lease agreeme~t with the State of Illinois the licensee has total control of the entire exclusion area with*the exception of control over the Des Plaines and Kankakee Rivers.
As a result, arrangements have been made through ESDA and DNS with the U.S. Coast Guard and documented in the Commonwealth Edison Generating Station Emergency Plan (4) for the con-*.
trol of. the water traffic in event of a plant emergency.

VI.
CONCLUSIONS Based on the above evaluation we conclude that the licensee has the proper authority to determine all activities within the exclusion area, as required by 10 CFR Part 1 00.
- This completes the evaluation of this SEP topic.

- TOPIC II-1.B, POPULATION DISTRIBUTION INTRODUCTION The safety objective of this topic is to ensure that the previously established low population zone and population center distance specified for the site are compatible with the current population distribution, and are in acc6rdance with the guidelines of 10 CFR Part 100.
II.
REVIEW CRITERIA Sections 100.10 and 100.11 of 10 CFR Part 100, 11 Reactor Site Criteria 11 provide the site evaluation factors which should be considered when evaluating sites for nuclear power reactors. These sections include guidelines for determini.ng the exclusion area, low population zone and population center distance.
III.
RELATED SAFETY TOPICS Topic II-1.A reviews the licensee's control over the exclusion area.
Various other topics will evaluate the capability of the plant to meet the dose criteria of 10 CFR Part 100 at the exclusion area boundary and
- low population zone.
The adequacy of emergency preparedness planning for the area surrounding the plant including the. low population zone is being assessed by the Commission in a separate-review effort.
IV.
REVIEW GUIDELINES The review has been conducted in accordance with Standard Review Plan (SRP) Section 2.1.3, 11 Population Distribution 11
- V.
EVALUATION The Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station is an area within 0.5 mile of the station. There is no resident popula-tion within the EAB.
The transient population within the EAB of the nuclear station consists only of operating personnel, construction workers, visitors, and NRC inspectors.
No changes are expected within the EAB.
The LPZ for the Dresden Station is an area within a 5-mile radius. The population distribution information within a 5-mile radius area was gathered during an April 1981 field survey, including a house count.

... -.... ___.Ano tber _sour..ce. of.information-i ncluded-*the... Nor..theas t... Ll.U.noi.-s-..Planning *-**,.J Commission~ These data update the demographic information presented in the Final Environmental Statement (FES) dated November 1973, issued by the Atomic Energy Commission.
The nearest resident population within the LP~ is contained in a cluster of cottages along the west shore of the Kankakee River; the nearest line of cottages is just outside the EAB.
In the FES'the number of cotta9os was reoorted at approximately 20 located 0.7 miles from the site.
They wer~ described as largely for part-time use.
Presently there are 39 dwellings in this development.
Additional dwellings have been built closer to the site.since the previous reports.
Also the dwellings now appear to be used permanently.
The estimated popu-lation ot this cluster of homes is approximately 133 using an average number of residents per household of 3.4 for rural are~s in this part of Illinois which was derived from data provided by the Northeast*
Il,linois Planning Commission (Linda Fulkerson, 1981) based on 1980 census data.l The other closest residences are widely separated in several directions from the station.
A single residence is located approximately 0.6 miles southeast of the station on the east shore of the Kankakee River.
To the northwest approximately o.a miles from the station are two permanent residences for the resident engineers at the Dresden Island Lock and Dam and a temporary construction office trailer.
At the confluence of the Des Plaines and Kankakee rivers there is a new residential development that includes six houses from 0.8 to 1.0 miles from the station.
Three individual residences are located along the Kankakee Bluffs on the north shore of the Des Plaines and Illinois rivers approximately 0.8 mile to the north-northwest, northeast, and east of the station.

- =*:The closest signifi~ant residential concentration of over 1000 is from two to thre~i.1es south~ast of the sta,ion along. the north shore.of.the Kankakee River where the number of houses has increased to 319.
This would be equivalent to a population of approximately 1100, using an average of 3.4 people per h0use.
The nearest incorporated municipality is Channahon with a 1980 census population of 3806 people, more than double the previously reported 1970 population of 1505.
Channahon is actively expanding by annexing adjacent properties that have heen recently developed for residential subdivisions.
A large tract of vacant land extending from two to three miles northeast of the station has been annexed by the yillage of Channahon but not yet developed.
Future expansion, however, is probable as the.area near the confluence of the DuPage and Des Plaines rivers is developed.
The next closest incorporated municipality, Minooka, has its closest border approximately 3.5 miles north-northeast of the statibn.
It has also been expanding.
The present population according to the 1980 census is 1566, more than double the 1970 population of 768.
However, a large tract of single-family houses is partially completed and a multiple-dwelling development is also in the planning stages which will further increase this population.
This new development is primarily east and south-east of the old center of town.
Other significant un.i.ri.corporated residential devef6pments have been expanding in the strip-mined areas four to five miles southwest of the station, in a blue collar worker residential complex across U.S. Highway 6 from the industrial center 3.5

-The criterion that the nearest major population center must be over one-and one-third times the distance of the LPZ radius (5' miles) is still being met.
These residential concentrations do not appreciably alter the permanent population ftistribution patterns reported previously, except that the growth of the rural corrmunities was greater than projected in the FES, whereas nost large cities further from the station have declined.
The transient population in the vicinity of the station outside*
the EAB comprises workers employed. by the various industries in the area and visitors to the many recreational facilities available.
The nearest *industrial-facilities to -the *station include the following:

A small unnamed public park is also located 1.5 miles east of the station on the.Des Plaines River.
Public access is available to the Dresden Lock and Darn and a public path parallels the Illinois and Michigan Canal which approaches within 0.7 miles north of the station.
The recreational facilities are apparently being actively expanded and improved and data on daily use indicate a suostantial increase in rec~eationists in recent years.
To sununarize, the EAB of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, as reported previously, has no permanent residents.
Permanent population distribution around the station has not changed significantly although total population within the five rniie LPZ has increased to_ an estimated 10;400 residents from 5,090 reported in the FES.
The 1980 population was projected to be 8,003 in the LPZ (FES Figure 2.2}.
Industrial facilities and recreational facilities have also expanded although their distribution is largely unchanged.
The daily maximum transient population including visitors to recreational facilities and' workers er1ployed by industries within.five miles of the -station is estimated to be approximately 11,000.

CON CL US ION.
The staff concludes that the low population zone and population center distances specified for the Dresden site are in conformance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 100 in that the population center distance is more than one and one-third* times the distance from the reactor to the outer boundary of the low population zone.
We further conclude that the site conforms to the current licensing criteria. This completes the evaluation of SEP Topic II-1.B for the Dresden site.
