Subject:

Update to Dresden Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report

Reference:

1) Letter from A. P. Teutken (Commonwealth Edison Company) to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, "Dresden Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report,"

dated June 1, 1998 (ADAMS ML110740360)

2. Letter from K. A. Ainger (Exelon Generation Company, LLC) to U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, "Changes to Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report," dated August 23, 2001

3. Letter from K. R. Jury (Exelon Generation Company, LLC) to U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, "Update to Dresden Nuclear Power Station Unit 1 Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report," dated January 5, 2007 (ADAMS ML070050166)

In Reference 1, as required by 10 CFR 50.82, "Termination of License," paragraph (a)(4)(i),

Commonwealth Edison Company (i.e., now Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon))

transmitted to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR) for Dresden Nuclear Power Station (DNPS) Unit

1. In References 2 and 3, as required by 10 CFR 50.82, paragraph (a)(7), Exelon notified the NRC of changes to the planned decommissioning activities and schedules described in the DNPS Unit 1 PSDAR.

The purpose of this letter is to provide a further update on the location of the DNPS Unit 1 spent fuel and planned decommissioning schedules described in the DNPS Unit 1 PSDAR.

All spent fuel from DNPS Unit 1 (including fuel previously stored in the Unit 1 spent fuel pool (SFP), the Unit 1 fuel transfer pool, the Unit 2 SFP, and the Unit 3 SFP) has been transferred to the on-site Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The last assemblies from

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report Docket Nos. 50-1 O March 19, 2018 Page2 Unit 1 were moved from the DNPS Unit 3 SFP to the ISFSI in 2014. In 2016, the rod basket containing Unit 1 fuel was moved from the DNPS Unit 3 SFP to the ISFSI.

DNPS Unit 1 is currently in SAFSTOR and will remain in SAFSTOR until approximately 1 year prior to the shutdown of DNPS Unit 2 (renewed Facility Operating License DPR-19, expires December 22, 2029).

Current Exelon plans specify that decontamination and dismantlement and site restoration of DNPS Unit 1, will coordinate with the equivalent activities for DNPS Units 2 and 3 (renewed Facility Operating License DPR-25). As the license expiration for DNPS Unit 2 approaches, the activity schedule for DNPS Unit 1 specified in Reference 3 will be refined and the DNPS Unit 1 PSDAR updated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82 paragraph (a)(7).

If you have any questions concerning this submittal, please contact Paul Bonnett at (267) 533-1489.
