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and Commonwealth Edison have been retained, as appropriate instead of being changed to EGC to properly preserve the historical content.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. 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.

Operating History Dresden Unit 1 produced power commercially from July 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 completed and activities began shortly thereafter to prepare the facility for decommissioning.

Structures, Systems and Components (SSCs)

Important to Unit 1, 2 or 3 Operations 3.2.1 Structures 3.2.1.1.

Control Room The west end of the former Unit 1 Control Room has been incorporated into the Station Control Room primarily utilized for operation of Units 2/3. The east end of the former Unit 1 Control Room is now part of the administrative support area for Units 1, 2 and 3.

Unit 1 instrumentation and controls that are still needed have been relocated to the Station Control Room. Previous Unit 1 Control Room support areas are now utilized to support operations for Units 1, 2 and 3. Operation and design of the Control Room is described in the Dresden Unit 2/3 UFSAR and associated documents.

3.2.1.2.

Chemical Cleaning Building Located within the Chemical Cleaning Building, the Radwaste Receiving Tanks are contained within a Category 1 seismic structure. The tanks are contained within a concrete structure designed to contain contaminated liquids which may spill from the tanks during an earthquake. Because the tanks are located within the seismic portion of the facility, they are not considered when calculating the Dresden Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) above grade liquid radwaste storage limit.

DELETED

DSAR Rev. 6 3-4 3.2.2 Systems 3.2.2.1.

Emergency Lighting Because Reactor operations are no longer conducted for Dresden Unit 1, Emergency Lighting for Safe Shutdown is no longer required.

However, the Unit 1 120V AC Power Distribution System continues to provide charging power for nine Unit 2/3 Safe Shutdown emergency lights. Operation and surveillance of these lighting units are described in the Unit 2/3 UFSAR and associated documents.

3.2.2.2.

Standby Lighting The Unit 2/3 UFSAR describes standby lighting utilized for operation of Unit 2/3. On the loss of normal power some of the standby lighting units located in the Unit 2/3 Control Room are powered from the Unit 1 125V DC Electrical Distribution System.

Operation and surveillance of these lighting units are described in the Unit 2/3 UFSAR and associated documents.

3.2.2.3.

Control Room Monitoring Dresden Unit 1 no longer requires continuous Control Room habitability to assure the safe storage of irradiated fuel. However certain alarms and indications of facility conditions remain functional in the Unit 2/3 Control Room. A description of the habitability systems associated with the Unit 2 and 3 Control Room is provided in the Dresden Unit 2/3 UFSAR and associated documents.

Located on Control Room Panels 901-2, and 901-B1 are controls, recorders and annunciators in operation for some Unit 1 system components.

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.

3.3.1.5.

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;

DSAR Rev. 7 3-22 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.

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 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.

From the Unit 1 Turbine Building Drain Tank the water is transferred to Unit 2/3 Radwaste for processing.

DSAR Rev. 6 3-25 3.3.2.7.

Fuel Building Cranes The Fuel Building Overhead Crane, and Cask Handling Crane allow for the handling of heavy loads within the Fuel Building.

3.3.2.7.1.

Fuel Building Overhead Crane The Fuel Building Overhead Crane is utilized for moving equipment and components, including heavy loads within the Fuel Building.

The Overhead Crane Bridge spans the Fuel Building in the east west direction. The crane rails which span the Fuel Building in the north south direction support the Bridge. The crane rails are supported by the Fuel Building structural steel.

The Fuel Building Crane consists of:

Trolley.

Main Hoist.

Auxiliary Hoist.

Bridge.

Controls for the hoists, bridge, trolley, air system and power are pendent mounted.

The Trolley carries the crane bridge and all hoisting equipment. The Trolley is powered from a variable speed electric motor. The Trolley has a maximum speed of about 50 feet per minute. The Trolley Brake is released upon application of power to the Trolley Motor. The Trolley carries a set of collectors on each side for picking up power and controlling current from conductors along the bridge beams.

The Main Hoist is powered from a variable speed electric motor. The maximum lifting and lowering capacity of the hoist and associated hook is about 75 tons at 5.16 feet per minute. The Main Hoist Brake is released upon application of power to the Main Hoist Motor.

The Auxiliary Hoist is powered from a variable speed electric motor. The maximum lifting and lowering capacity of the hoist and associated hook is about 10 tons at 25.7 feet per minute. The Auxiliary Hoist Brake is released upon application of power to the Auxiliary Hoist Motor.

The Bridge is powered from a variable speed electric motor. The Bridge has a maximum speed of about 112 feet per minute. The Bridge is equipped with a brake.

The Fuel Building Overhead Crane is powered from the 480V AC Electrical Distribution System. Electrical components within the Fuel Building Overhead Crane transform the 480 V AC power into the appropriate AC or DC power voltage required by individual components.

DSAR Rev. 6 3-26 Administrative procedures preclude using the Fuel Building Overhead Cranes below a predetermined temperature limit. The administrative temperature limit is above the nil ductility transition temperature for the structural steel.

3.3.2.7.2.

Cask Handling Crane The Cask Handling Crane support system is founded on the existing fuel pool walls and new reinforced concrete piers. The crane support system is completely independent of the existing superstructure of the Unit 1 Fuel Building. The crane is a gantry type crane having 2 vertical legs and a horizontal hoist support frame which spans between them.

The crane trolley is fixed in the east-west direction. The crane bridge travels north-south on the two rail girders between the Transfer Pool and Cask Work Area.

The crane and its support system have also been designed for seismic loading pursuant to NUREG 0554. The design for the seismic event comparable to the Safe Shutdown Earthquake (SSE) is in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.60, 1.61, and 1.92 for the ground response spectra curves, structural and equipment damping values, and dynamic analysis of equipment respectively. The seismic spectra used for the analysis are equivalent to those used for the Unit 2/3 SSE. The crane lower block is specifically designed for transferring the Holtec HI-STAR 100 and HI-TRAC 100 casks, and the Transnuclear TN-9 cask. The rated load of the crane is 130 tons.

The crane bridge and hoist motions are controlled from the operating floor of the Unit 1 Fuel Building via a hardwired pendant type controller with a retractable cable reel.

Emergency stop pushbuttons are located at either end of the west runway girder. The CHC provides the means for lifting the HI-STAR 100 casks in accordance with NUREG 0612. The CHC lower block (yoke) assembly will engage a HI-STAR 100 cask by the two upper trunnions using two lifting eye hooks which are an integral part of the lower block. The hooks will be pneumatically operated and have mechanical cam locking devices to ensure positive engagement of the cask.

The eXtra Safety and Monitoring (X-SAM) system on the CHC is enhanced from typical cranes by the addition of several additional safety features and redundancies.

Some examples are:

Energy Absorbing Impact Limiter

Emergency Drum Brake System

Failure Detection SystemRedundant Upper Limits

Overload Sensing and Indication

Dual Reeving (Double Hoist Cable)

Hydraulic Load Equalization The features above have been determined by the NRC to meet the requirements of NUREG-0554, Single-Failure-Proof Crane for Nuclear Power Plants, which is a means of

DSAR Rev. 6 3-27 satisfying heavy load lifting requirements of NUREG-0612, Control of Heavy Loads at Nuclear Power Plants.

The crane is powered off of Unit 1 480VAC MCC 6A2. In the event of a control malfunction or loss of power the crane hoist up and down and bridge motion can be manually operated.

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.

DSAR Rev. 0 6-2 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 6-3 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 6-4 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.

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.

7.3.2 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.

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.
