No: 22-014 March 31, 2022 CONTACT: David McIntyre, 301-415-8200 NRC Approves Kewanee Nuclear Power Plant License Transfer The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved the transfer of the operating license for Kewaunee Power Station from Dominion Nuclear Projects Inc. to EnergySolutions LLC. The transfer includes the general license for Kewaunees spent nuclear fuel storage facility.
The Kewaunee nuclear power plant is a pressurized water reactor located in Carlton, Wisconsin. It began operations in 1974 and permanently shut down in May 2013. Transfer of the fuel to the dry storage facility was completed in 2018.
Dominion and EnergySolutions requested the transfer in May 2021. The transaction would transfer the plant operator, Dominion Energy Kewaunee, to EnergySolutions, and rename it Kewaunee Solutions. EnergySolutions has said it intends to begin active decontamination and demolition of the facility this year and complete decommissioning by 2030.
