Dresden Nuclear Power Station (DNPS)
A three-unit BWR plant:
Unit 1 (GE BWR-1) was officially retired on August 31, 1984, but its major structures are still present and intact.
Placed in a safe storage condition (SAFSTOR).
Unit 2 (GE BWR-3/Mark I Containment) is located on the site directly west of and adjacent to Unit 1.
Unit 3 (GE BWR-3/Mark I Containment) is located on the site directly west of and adjacent to Unit 2 The site is located northeast of Morris in Grundy County, Illinois.
General Plant Information 4
Power Uprate History Current rated core thermal power of 2957 MWt for each unit (Unit 2 and Unit 3).
Original licensed core thermal power of 2527 MWt.
Extended Power Uprate approved in 2001 (Amendment Nos. 191 (Unit 2) & 185 (Unit 3), approximately 17% Uprate)
Current gross electrical output of 1003 Mwe for each unit (Unit 2 and Unit 3), for a total of 2006 Mwe.
Overview of Initial License Renewal Initial License Renewal Application was submitted on January 3, 2003 and approved on October 28, 2004. It was submitted as a combined application with Quad Cities Nuclear Power station. DNPS SLR will be submitted independently.
Unit 2 entered PEO on December 22, 2009 and Unit 3 entered PEO on January 12, 2011 Renewed Operating Licenses expire on December 22, 2029 for Unit 2, and on January 12, 2031 for Unit 3.

Lessons learned from previous Constellation and industry license renewal projects are being utilized in the DNPS SLRA Project Constellation has extensive aging management experience
20 of 21 units have renewed operating licenses
12 units are operating in the period of extended operation Constellation participates in NEI and EPRI initiatives related to License Renewal & Long-Term Operations The Constellation DNPS SLRA Project Team consists of experienced technical personnel Current NRC Expectations and Guidance Constellation reviews Breakout Questions, RAIs/RCIs, and Supplements associated with recent license renewal applications to ensure consistency with current NRC expectations and SRP guidance An Industry Peer Review of the SLRA will be performed Lessons Learned 12
Constellation plans to submit the SLRA, including the Environmental Report (ER),
via the NRC Electronic Information Exchange (EIE)
Constellation intends to utilize the Scientech eDocs portal to support NRC review.
Documents such as:
SLRA, ER, boundary drawings, UFSAR, and FPP will be available on the eDocs portal.
Constellation Licensing Lead will coordinate with the NRC PM Audit Support Constellation will work with the NRC PM to establish and manage the schedules Constellation will track NRC audit questions, requests, and the responses in a database Site lead will coordinate plant walkdowns and other on-site activities RAI Responses Constellation will submit timely responses to NRC requests for additional information Project Management 13
The DNPS SLR application will be consistent with GALL-SLR to the greatest extent possible The DNPS SLR application will be consistent with industry practices and lessons learned from recent LRs/SLRs to meet NRC requirements Constellation will submit a high-quality application that can support an efficient staff review Recent industry RAIs will be addressed in the SLR application Timely RAI responses Frequent NRC interface The DNPS SLR application is on track to be submitted on the target date of April 17, 2024 Schedule and Closing Remarks 14
