DSAR Rev. 2

1. Introduction and Summary 1.1. Introduction The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved Revision 3 to the Dresden Unit 1 Decommissioning Program Plan on September 3, 1993. Subsequent revisions to the Decommissioning Program Plan were reviewed and approved based on criteria similar to the criteria of Section 50.59 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 50.59). In 1998, the Decommissioning Program Plan (DPP) was revised to the current Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR) format contained herein.

Portions of this document refer to the Dresden Units 2 and 3 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR). Dresden Unit 1 shares the Units 2 and 3 site and surrounding area. Therefore certain information regarding the site characteristics, the local environment, and activities or designs which are applicable to both Dresden Unit 2 and 3, and Dresden Unit 1, are not reiterated in this document. Where appropriate the Unit 2 and 3 UFSAR is referenced herein.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved the transfer of the facility licenses from Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) Company to Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) on January 12, 2001. Reference in the Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR ) to ComEd, CECo and Commonwealth Edison have been retained, as appropriate instead of being changed to EGC to properly preserve the historical content. Reference Amendment No. 40 to License No. DPR-2, Docket No. 50-10, dated January 12, 2001.

EGC is decommissioning the Dresden Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 by placing the facility in a safe storage condition (SAFSTOR) until Dresden Units 2 & 3 are ready for decommissioning. If an extended operating life program (License Renewal) for Units 2 and 3 is not initiated, all three Dresden units will be decommissioned by removal of radioactive material and dismantlement beginning as early as 2010. The SAFSTOR license DPR-2 Amendment No. 37 for Dresden Unit 1, issued September 3, 1993, has an expiration date of April 10, 2029.

1.2. Licensing and Construction History Dresden Unit 1 was the first nuclear plant built by private industry. It was a cooperative effort by Commonwealth Edison and a Nuclear Power Group (NPG) that included six other electric utilities. General Electric Company designed the plant and offered it at a fixed contract price of $45 million, $15 million of which was contributed by NPG.

Commonwealth Edison provided the remaining funding, the site, the electrical switchyard and other accessories. Bechtel Corporation was the engineer-constructor. The following list provides a chronology of Dresden Unit 1 licensing and construction history.

DSAR Rev. 2 1.3. Operating History Dresden Unit 1 produced power commercially from 1960 to October 31, 1978, generating approximately 15,800,000 Megawatt-hours of electricity.

Dresden Unit 1 had significant problems associated with control rods and undertook a control rod blade replacement program from November 1960 through March 1961. In April of 1961, criticality testing was conducted with new control blades. On June 2 of 1961, turbine generator operation was resumed. The licensed power of the Unit was increased from 630 MWt to 700 MWt in September of 1962.

The unit had a history of minor steam leaks and erosion in steam piping in the early and mid-1960s. There were also fuel failures during the period of September through December of 1964 and other times which, although not leading to off-gas releases above limits, did cause redistribution of radionuclides from the fuel to other parts of the primary system.

During other outages in the late 1960s, ultrasonic inspections were made on extensive sections of primary piping and welds because of concerns regarding intergranular stress corrosion cracking failures in some of the smaller 304 stainless steel piping.

Several systems in the plant used admiralty brass (Cu-Ni) heat exchange surfaces, including the Main Condenser. Most of these were taken out of service and replaced with stainless steel tubing. In the sixth partial refueling, the condenser was re-tubed from admiralty brass to 304L stainless steel. The use of Cu-Ni surfaces did lead to translocation and deposition of corrosion products throughout the operating systems.

The use of carbon steel in the Secondary Feedwater System may have also contributed to the elevated corrosion radionuclide levels. These foregoing events led to the need to perform a chemical decontamination of the Primary System.

The Unit was taken off-line on October 31, 1978, to backfit it with equipment to meet new federal regulations and to perform a chemical decontamination of major piping systems.

While it was out of service for retrofitting, additional regulations were issued as a result of the March 1979 incident at Three Mile Island. The estimated cost to bring Dresden Unit 1 into compliance with these regulations was more than $300 million.

Commonwealth Edison concluded that the age of the unit and its relatively small size did not warrant the added investment.

In 1984, chemical decontamination of the primary system was performed and 753 curies of Cobalt-60 and 12.4 curies of Cesium-137 were removed. This decontamination was 1-3

3. Facility Design The Dresden Unit 1 Facility Design is divided into three areas: structures, systems and components important to the safe storage and handling of irradiated fuel, structures, systems, components important to Unit 1, 2 or 3 operations and balance of Unit 1 structures, systems and components.

3.1. Structures, Systems and Components (SSCs)

Important to the Safe Storage and Handling of Irradiated Fuel The Unit 1 Fuel Storage Pool, Fuel Transfer Pool, and New Fuel Storage Vault are located within the Fuel Storage and Handling Building (commonly referred to as the Fuel Building). Spent fuel shall no longer be stored or handled in the Unit 1 Fuel Building.

Current procedures and programs do not support spent fuel storage and handling in the Unit 1 Fuel Building or Spent Fuel Pools.

The Fuel Building Overhead Crane, the Fuel Grapple Crane and the Cask Handling Crane (CHC) are also located in the Unit 1 Fuel Building.

3.1.1 Fuel Building The Fuel Building structure and foundations perform the following functions:

Provides an enclosure to control of radioactive contamination and radioactive gaseous effluents;

Provides a weather resistant enclosure for housing systems and components including the Fuel Storage Pool and Fuel Transfer Pool;

Provides structural support for systems and components including the Fuel Building Overhead Crane, and Fuel Grapple Crane and portions of the Cask Handling Crane (CHC) Runway Girders;

Provides a physical barrier to prevent unauthorized entry.

The Fuel Building is constructed as a single-story structural steel braced-frame with roof trusses on columns, which rest on concrete footings. The Fuel Building has a built-up roof system. Exterior walls consist primarily of reinforced concrete or corrugated cement asbestos siding supported by steel framing. The Fuel Building is not an airtight structure and is not designed to maintain a negative pressure throughout.

3-1

DSAR Rev. 4 The Fuel Building roof was designed for a live load of 25 lbs/ft2. A majority of the Fuel Building floor areas were designed for a live load of 600 lbs/ft2. The design for all beams and girders includes a concentrated load of 3,000 lbs. in addition to live and dead loads.

Lateral design loads are 25 lbs/ft2 for wind and 3.3% (dead load and 1/2 live load) for seismic. All footings are carried to solid rock with a carrying capacity of 25 tons per ft2.

Fuel Building structural steel was designed in accordance with AISC Code 1949. Fuel Building concrete was designed to ACI Code 1951. The Uniform Building Code 1955 was used as a general guide, where applicable.

The Fuel Building structure and foundations were designed to support the following cranes and associated loads:

75 ton Fuel Building Overhead Crane (usually called Cyclops crane) with a 10 ton auxiliary hoist.

1 ton Fuel Grapple Crane (usually called Grapple crane). The actual load carrying capacity of the current Fuel Grapple Crane is limited to 1/2 ton.

1 ton New Fuel Storage Vault Crane.

130 ton Cask Handling Crane (CHC is not supported from the Fuel Building structure, but is partially founded on the Fuel Storage and Transfer Pool walls.)

Administrative procedures preclude using the Fuel Building Cranes below a predetermined temperature limit. The administrative temperature limit is above the nil ductility transition temperature for the structural steel.

Ventilation from the Fuel Building exhausts through the Unit 1 Chimney.

Periodic monitoring of the Fuel Building structural integrity is performed through station procedures.

3.1.2 Irradiated Fuel (Wet Storage)

Nuclear fuel assemblies previously stored in the Unit 1 Fuel Pool have been transferred to Dry Fuel Storage.

3.1.3 Fuel Storage Pool There is no spent fuel stored within the Unit 1 Spent Fuel Pools. Therefore, the Fuel Storage Pool is no longer required to support the permanently shutdown and defueled mode of operation, and is not described in the DSAR.

3-2

DSAR Rev. 4 3.1.4 Fuel Transfer Pool There is no spent fuel stored within the Unit 1 Spent Fuel Pools. Therefore, the Fuel Transfer Pool is no longer required to support the permanently shutdown and defueled mode of operation, and is not described in the DSAR.

3.1.5 Fuel Pool Gates There is no spent fuel stored within the Unit 1 Spent Fuel Pools. Therefore, the Fuel Pool Gates are no longer required to support the permanently shutdown and defueled mode of operation, and is not described in the DSAR.

3.1.6 Fuel Transfer Tunnel and Fuel Transfer Tube There is no spent fuel stored within the Unit 1 Spent Fuel Pools. Therefore, the Fuel Transfer Tunnel and Fuel Transfer Tube are no longer required to support the permanently shutdown and defueled mode of operation, and is not described in the DSAR.

3.1.7 Water Level: Fuel Storage Pool and Fuel Transfer Pool There is no spent fuel stored within the Unit 1 Spent Fuel Pools. Therefore, the Fuel Pool and Fuel Transfer Pool Water Level is no longer required to support the permanently shutdown and defueled mode of operation, and is not described in the DSAR.

3.1.10 Ventilation System: Fuel Building The Unit 1 Fuel Building Ventilation System is designed and installed to reduce the potential for unmonitored release of radioactive contamination. The Unit 1 Fuel Building is not designed or constructed to maintain a negative pressure throughout. However, the ventilation system is configured with an exhaust flow rate that exceeds the supply fan flow rate.

Controls and indication for the ventilation system are mounted on a local panel within the Fuel Building. Fuel Building HVAC fans are powered from the 480V AC Electrical Distribution System.

3.1.10.1. Supply Fan: Fuel Building Outside makeup air for the Fuel Building is provided through the Supply Fan, K-129.

The Supply Fan takes suction from an opening in the south wall of the Fuel Building. A motor operated damper opens when the system is operated and closes when the system is shut down.

3-7

DSAR Rev. 4 The Supply Fan is powered from a variable speed motor. The Supply Fan flow rate is approximately 1,500 cubic feet per minute lower than the K-160 Exhaust Fan flow rate.

This flow rate differential is established through ventilation system controls which monitor both the Exhaust Fan and Supply Fan flow rates and adjust the Supply Fan motor speed accordingly. The Supply Fan can not be operated independent of the K-160 Exhaust Fan.

A steam heating coil is installed within the supply ductwork. The steam heating coil is utilized to warm outside air entering the building during cold weather conditions. A temperature sensor located downstream of the heating coil is interlocked with the Supply Fan. The interlock will prevent operation of the Supply Fan below the low temperature set point to prevent the heating coil from freezing.

3.1.10.2. Exhaust Fans: Fuel Building Two Exhaust Fans (K-160 and K-131) are provided for the Fuel Building. The Exhaust Fans can be operated independently or in combination.

The K-160 Exhaust Fan provides primary exhaust flow from the Fuel Building. Suction for the Exhaust Fan is provided through a penetration in the ceiling of the Fuel Building.

A motor operated damper opens when the system is operated and closes when the system is shut down. The Exhaust Fan is powered by a two-speed electric motor. The Exhaust Fan can produce flow at approximately 4,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM) or 8,000 CFM. The lower flow rate is typically utilized during the winter and the higher flowrate during the summer.

The K-129 Supply Fan is interlocked with the K-160 Exhaust Fan. The interlock prevents the Supply Fan from operating independent of the Exhaust Fan.

The K-131 Exhaust Fan provides exhaust flow from the Fuel Storage Pool area. The Exhaust Fan is located on a mezzanine within the Unit 1 Fuel Building. Suction for the Exhaust Fan is provided through ductwork, which extends to an inlet plenum located just above the Fuel Storage Pool water level. A motor operated damper opens when the system is operated and closes when the system is shut down. The Exhaust Fan is powered by an electric motor. The Exhaust Fan can produce approximately 2,000 CFM of airflow.

The K-160 and K-131 Exhaust Fans discharge through a common HEPA filter into the Unit 1 Gaseous Monitoring System ductwork which discharges through the Unit 1 Chimney. Interlocks allow the Fuel Building Exhaust Fans to operate only when a Gaseous Monitoring System Exhaust Fan is operating. These Interlocks ensure that exhaust flows from the Fuel Building are discharged through the Unit 1 Chimney.

DSAR Rev. 4 3.2.2.8. Fire Protection System Dresden Unit 1 shares its Fire Protection system and program with Dresden Units 2 and

3. The site Fire Protection system and program are described in the Dresden Units 2/3 SAR and associated documents.

3.2.2.8.1. Fire Protection Water Supply System Dresden Unit 1 shares a common Fire Protection Water Supply System with Dresden Units 2/3. The description of the Fire Protection Water Supply System applicable to Dresden Units 2/3 is described in the Dresden Units 2/3 SAR and associated documents included by reference. The description contained herein describes the function and interfaces for the original Unit 1 portion of the Fire Protection Water Supply System. The Fire Protection Water Supply System supplies fire hydrants, standpipes, hose stations, sprinkler systems and water spray systems located in Dresden Unit 1. The Fire Protection Water Supply System is capable of supplying the anticipated largest single fire flow, including hose stream demands.

The Fire Protection Water Supply System can be supplied from either the Unit 1 Intake Canal or Unit 2/3 Intake Canal. The Unit 2/3 Service Water Pumps and Unit 2/3 Fire Pump take suction from the Unit 2/3 Intake Canal. The Unit 1 Screen Wash Pump and Unit 1 Fire Pump take suction from the Unit 1 Intake Canal. Normal system makeup and pressurization is provided from a connection to the Unit 2/3 Service Water System. The Unit 1 Screenwash system can also be manually started to maintain system pressure. The Unit 2/3 Service Water or Unit 1 Screen Wash Systems can supply small system demands such as system leakage or planned testing. The Unit 1 Fire Pump or Unit 2/3 Fire Pumps are used to supply larger system demands. Either fire pump is capable of supplying the largest single fire flow demand.

The Fire Protection Water Supply System can be utilized to provide makeup to the Unit 2/3 Isolation Condensers.

The Dresden Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) and associated surveillance procedures ensure operability of the Fire Protection Water Supply System.

Environs Monitoring Station Number 2 is powered from the Unit 1 480V AC Electrical Distribution System.

3.2.2.9.3. Unit 1 Chimney A reinforced concrete Chimney is located north of the Turbine Building. The Chimney, which is approximately 300 feet tall, provides an elevated release path for gaseous effluents.

Discharge through the Chimney originates from the following sources:

Unit 1 Gaseous Monitoring System with inputs from the Fuel Building and Laundry Ventilation Systems.

Steam Generator Blowdown Tank Vent. *

Off Gas System. *

These system components remain connected to the Chimney, however, they are no longer required and have been removed from service.

3.2.2.9.4. Chimney Effluent Monitoring System The Chimney Effluent Monitoring System consists of the Chimney Air Sampler.

3.2.2.9.4.1. Chimney SPING There is no spent fuel stored in the Unit 1 building, and the Spent Fuel Pools are drained and the walls coated. There is no potential for significant radioactive release from the fuel building. Noble gas monitoring by the SPING is no longer required to support the permanently shutdown and defueled mode of operations, and is not described in the DSAR.

3-28

DSAR Rev. 5 3.2.2.9.4.2. Chimney Air Sampler The Chimney Air Sampler provides a means for obtaining particulate and iodine samples from the Chimney. The Chimney Air Sampler consists of a sample line and pump connected to the Chimney. The system is utilized to collect iodine and particulate samples. The backup air sampler is powered from the Unit 1 120V AC Electrical Distribution System.

3.2.2.9.5. Gaseous Monitoring System The Gaseous Monitoring System was designed to provide a monitor release path for areas having the potential for significant radioactive release. Ventilation exhaust from the Fuel Building and Laundry Ventilation System are the only remaining source of input into the system.

Two redundant Exhaust Fans are provided for the system (OV1 and OV2). The Exhaust Fans discharge though a ventilation duct into the Chimney. An exhaust fan and control damper provide for a system flowrate of approximately 29,700 cubic feet per minute.

System flow is maintained constant by a flow controller that monitors flow and adjusts the position of the system flow control dampers. This assures that the flow rate remains constant. Because of the low volume of exhaust being discharged into the system through the Fuel Building and Laundry Ventilation System, a majority of the system flow is provided from outside air through the control dampers.

Exhaust fans for the Fuel Building and Laundry Ventilation Systems are interlocked to prevent them from being operated independent of the Gaseous Monitoring System Exhaust Fans.

The Gaseous Monitoring System Exhaust Fans are powered from the Unit 2/3 480V AC Electrical Distribution System. The control switches for the fans are located in the Unit 1 Turbine Building South Auxiliary Bay.

The Gaseous Monitoring System is not required to be operational if the Fuel Building or Laundry Ventilation System are not operating.

3.2.2.10. General Station Emergency Plan Equipment The Generating Stations Emergency Plan (GSEP) describes the organization response to emergency conditions which could occur at Dresden Unit 1. The Dresden Annex to the GSEP describes events and conditions that could result in activation of the Emergency Plan at the Station. The extended period since Unit 1 was last operated has resulted in a reduction in possible accidents which could result in an emergency declaration.

Some of the sirens utilized to notify personnel of GSEP conditions are powered from the Unit 1 480V AC or 125V DC Electrical Distribution Systems.

Additional details regarding the Station / Unit response to emergency conditions is described in the GSEP.

3.2.2.11. Unit Service/Instrument Air Systems The Unit 1 Service Air Compressor provides the normal supply of air to the Unit 1 Service and Instrument Air Systems. Unit 1 Service Air can be supplied through a normally isolated connection between the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Service Air Systems. When Unit 1 Service Air is cross-tied to Unit 2 Service Air through this connection, a pressure control valve in the line automatically closes when Unit 1 Service Air pressure falls to approximately 74 psig, isolating the systems from each other. This prevents an incident in the Unit 1 air systems from adversely affecting the Unit 2 Service Air system.

6. Accident Analysis In order to demonstrate the safety of Unit 1 in its current and future SAFSTOR states, accident analyses have been performed. These analyses, in part, provide bases for the configuration of systems, components, and structures, and implementation of administrative and procedural controls.

Although spent fuel has been completely removed from storage in the Unit 1 Fuel Storage Pool, accident analysis described below have been retained for future reference.

These conservative analyses demonstrate that postulated accidents will not result in off-site dose exposures in excess of 10 CFR 100 or US EPA limits.

6.1. Criticality Analysis In 1987, a criticality analysis was performed to determine the maximum Keff of the Dresden Unit 1 Fuel Storage Pool created by loss of pool cooling water and mechanical failures.

The criticality analysis is based on 672 fuel assemblies located in the Fuel Storage Pool.

Fuel assemblies located in the Fuel Transfer Pool were not specifically considered.

The worst case scenario for the fuel pool water loss accident determined that under optimum moderation the Keff for the fuel remains below the maximum value of 0.98 allowed by the NRC Standard Review Plan 9.1.1. The worst case condition considered the fuel pool to be completely drained with spent fuel assemblies in the normal storage positions and in some way an optimum moderation water density (such as a water mist) is introduced.

The worst case scenario for the mechanical failure accident determined that under credible upset scenarios the Keff for the fuel remains below the maximum value of 0.95 allowed by the NRC Standard Review Plan 9.1.2. The worst case condition considered 16 spent fuel assemblies in each storage rack making physical contact without any water space between the assemblies under full pool water conditions.

The following accident conditions were considered in the analysis to bound reasonable credible configurations of fuel assembly rearrangement that could occur in the mechanical failure accident:

The pool water is completely lost but the fuel assemblies are not affected and maintain their original (normal) configuration in the pool.

The pool water is not lost, but the fuel assemblies lose their original configuration to form a new irregular configuration.

6-1

DSAR Rev. 0

The pool water is completely lost, and the spent fuel assemblies lose their original configuration to form a new irregular configuration.

The most limiting mechanical failure condition considered all 16 fuel assemblies in a rack placed in an upright position to form a tight array of 2x8 fuel assemblies with center to center spacing of 4.27 in with a rectangular water cell of 8.0 sq. ft. (24x48 in.).

It is not physically possible to have all the fuel assemblies form tight 26x26 or 4x4 arrays uniformly throughout the pool because physical instability of arrays and obstructions by rack structures and neighboring fuel assemblies during an accident. Therefore they were eliminated from the list of credible accident conditions.

The analysis did not consider any condition in which the fuel assemblies fall on the pool floor because the assemblies are long compared to the structural spacing in the pool. In addition, no fuel assembly-drop or heavy object drop accidents were defined because these types of accidents would cause only localized disturbances and are not bounding.

The calculated maximum Keff included the effects of fuel channel, dimensional and material tolerances, and pool temperature.

In 1995, the 1987 Criticality Analysis was updated to include the effect of placing a Fuel Rack Basket with 16 fuel assemblies in the northern vacant region of the Fuel Storage Pool. The pool reactivity change due to the presence of the fuel basket was applied to the original analysis for the 672 fuel assemblies located in the Fuel Storage Pool.

The worst case scenario for the fuel pool water loss accident determined that under optimum moderation the Keff of the fuel remained below the maximum value of 0.98 allowed by the NRC Standard Review Plan 9.1.1.

The worst case scenario for the mechanical failure accident determined that under credible upset scenarios the Keff of the fuel remained below the maximum value of 0.95 allowed by the NRC Standard Review Plan 9.1.2.

The maximum Keff for the normal pool and fuel assembly configuration with full pool water was determined to be below the maximum value of 0.90 allowed by Dresden Unit 1 Technical Specifications.

In 1998, the 1995 Criticality Analysis was updated to include the effect of placing two Fuel Rack Baskets with 16 fuel assemblies each in the northern vacant region of the Fuel Storage Pool. The reactivity changes due to the presence of another Fuel Rack Basket was applied to the 1995 analysis for the 672 fuel assemblies in the Fuel Racks and an additional 16 assemblies in a Fuel Rack Basket.

DSAR Rev. 1 The worst case scenario for the fuel pool water loss accident determined that under optimum moderation the Keff of the fuel remained below the maximum value of 0.98 allowed by the NRC Standard Review Plan 9.1.1.

The worst case scenario for the mechanical failure accident determined that under credible upset scenarios the Keff of the fuel remained below the maximum value of 0.95 allowed by the NRC Standard Review Plan 9.1.2.

The maximum Keff for the normal pool and fuel assembly configuration with full pool water was determined to be below the maximum value of 0.90 allowed by Dresden Unit 1 Technical Specifications.

6.2. Source Term Evaluation In 1989, radiological consequences of a postulated fuel handling accident in the Fuel Building, resulting in damage to the fuel cladding of 100% of all pins in all 683 fuel assemblies with subsequent release of radioactive material was performed. Three defective fuel pins located in the pool were excluded from the analysis because the Kr-85 gap activity was released at the time the pins became defective. The analysis calculated off-site and on-site accident results. The radiation exposures resulting from this accident represent the upper bounds for any spent fuel accident at Dresden Unit 1.

The accident analysis considers radionuclides remaining in the fuel assemblies.

However, the analysis shows that Kr-85 is the only significant fission gas remaining in the spent fuel assemblies. Hence, using the criteria of NRC Regulatory Guide 1.25 the accident analysis is based upon release of the available gap activity, or 30% of total inventory of the Kr-85, to the Fuel Building with a corresponding breech of building integrity and a release to the environment.

For the worst case exposure in the Fuel Building the gap fission product activity is assumed to be immediately released into the building causing the maximum possible dose rates to personnel.

For the worst case exposure outside of the Fuel Building the gap fission product activity is assumed to be released to the environment, at ground level, through a postulated hole in the Fuel Building exterior wall. The release of the fission products to the environment has a duration of two hours.

The analysis shows that the maximum offsite whole body doses at the nearest unrestricted area boundary from an accidental release of Krypton-85 would be sig-nificantly less than the 10 CFR 100 whole body dose limit of 25 Rem in 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months , and the corresponding skin dose equivalent limit of 150 Rem in 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months . The study results also show that the whole body dose to members of the public would be significantly less than the U.S. EPA-Protective Action Guide (PAG) limit of 1 Rem whole body.

DSAR Rev. 0 6.3. Fuel Pool Drain Down Accident Analysis In 1994, an analysis was performed to determine the radiological consequences of a Unit 1 Fuel Pool drain down. The analysis is based upon 683 fuel assemblies located in the Fuel Building. In the analysis it is conservatively assumed that all of the assemblies are located in the Fuel Storage Pool. Although three fuel rods are also stored in the pool, their contribution to activity is concluded to be negligible. Resultant fuel assembly temperatures, and onsite and offsite dose rates are calculated.

The analysis determined the fuel assembly temperatures for partial and complete Fuel Storage Pool drain down scenarios. For the analysis the ambient building air temperature was conservatively assumed to be 120°F. Under either condition the peak temperatures inside of the fuel pins was determined to be far below the temperature at which fuel cladding is expected to fail.

Dose rates associated with direct and scattered radiation were calculated assuming the complete loss of fuel pool water. Dose rates inside of the Fuel Building were significant.

The dose rate in the Unit 2/3 Control Room, including the effects of concrete shielding, was determined to be significantly less than 10 CFR 50 Appendix A GDC 19 limits. The dose rate at the closest point on the site boundary was determined to be significantly less than 10 CFR 100 limits.

Because the fuel temperature following loss of water coverage is much lower than the vaporization temperature of volatile fission products, no significant additional contamination is expected.

7. Conduct of Operations 7.1. Organization Structure The Dresden Station and the Project Management Director ensure high-level management attention is available to commit personnel and resources to properly and safely maintain the plant during the decommissioning phase.

7.1.1 Project Management Director The Project Management Director is responsible for decommissioning project activities at Unit 1. Responsibilities include the authority to commit personnel and resources to execute decommissioning activities; reviewing and approving the Post Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report revisions, proposed license amendments and revised technical specifications; site installation of spent fuel storage casks; cask loading; and long-term maintenance activities.

In addition, the Project Management Director is responsible for the execution of the Companys Quality Assurance Program, compliance with applicable NRC licenses and governmental regulations, and compliance with appropriate ASME Code requirements.

7.1.2 Unit 1 Decommissioning Plant Manager The Dresden Station Manager has assumed all responsibilities of the Unit 1 Decommissioning Plant Manager and as such has the responsibility for administration of all Unit 1 functions. This responsibility includes site support activities such as the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual, Site Fire Protection Program, the Radioactive Effluent Control Program and Emergency Preparedness.

7-1

DSAR Rev. 3 7.1.3 Onsite and Technical Support Organization The Site Organization has been assigned responsibility for implementing SAFSTOR for Dresden Unit 1. They are responsible for functions including Financial and Planning, Regulatory Assurance, Maintenance and Construction, Operations, Engineering and Health Physics. Staffing assigned may vary as required and directed by the Dresden Station Manager.

7.2. Decommissioning Procedures Dresden Unit 1 procedures provide guidance for administration and maintenance.

Dresden Unit 1 uses the following types and categories of procedures to implement decommissioning.

7.2.1 Dresden Station Procedures Dresden Unit 1 uses Station and Corporate procedures for processes that are common to the Units (such as Administrative procedures, Fire Protection procedures, Maintenance procedures, Engineering procedures, Safety Evaluation procedures, Operating procedures, Chemistry procedures, Radiation Protection procedures, GSEP procedures, etc.).

7.2.2 Decommissioning Procedures Dresden Unit 1 has also implemented decommissioning procedures, specifically applicable to decommissioning activities that differ from Station activities in areas including:

Administrative Controls of Dresden for Decommissioning Activities.

Decommissioning Impact Evaluations per 10 CFR 50.82.

Decommissioning On-Site Review responsibilities and requirements.

Engineering Activities for SAFSTOR Preparation and Configuration Management.

7-2

DSAR Rev. 2 7.2.3 Preparation and Review of Decommissioning Procedures Dresden Unit 1 procedures are written, reviewed and authorized in accordance with the requirements of the Quality Assurance Topical Report. The Technical Specifications provide a list of items for which written procedures are required to be prepared, approved and implemented.

7.3. Training 7.3.1 Training of Fuel Handlers There is no spent fuel stored within the Unit 1 Fuel Building. Therefore, Training of Fuel Handlers for Unit 1 fuel handling activities is no longer required to support the permanently shutdown and defueled mode of operations, and is not described in the DSAR.

7-3

DSAR Rev. 4 7.3.2 Training for Plant Staff Dresden Station provides training programs that are necessary and prudent for assuring the safety of personnel, preventing the degradation of safety-related systems, structures, and components, and increasing the efficiency of operation through improved human performance. Dresden Unit 1 staff participates in the Unit 2 and 3 training programs to the extent applicable and appropriate for the assigned position within the Unit 1 organization. For example, all personnel assigned to work within the site participate in the general training programs such as Nuclear General Employee Training.

Training for Dresden Station personnel is developed using a systematic approach to ensure that they receive training appropriate to their positions or tasks at the station.

Training is normally divided into three types:

Initial training is intended to provide training on safety and job skills commensurate with an individual's position;

Retraining, including continuing training, is intended to refresh and reinforce information received during initial training; and

Specialized or task-related training is intended to acquaint personnel with information related to complex processes, procedures, and equipment that are not used on a routine basis.

The training needs of non-Dresden Station personnel granted unescorted access to the station are also considered in order to protect them from excessive or unnecessary radiation exposure and to acquaint them with security procedures and various safety concerns. This training is commensurate with the position of the non-Dresden Station personnel.

A detailed description of the training provided to plant staff is provided in the Dresden Units 2 and 3 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report.
