Exelon Generation Company, LLC; Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuance of an amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-19 and DPR-25, issued to Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee), for operation of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station (DNPS), Units 2 and 3. The proposed amendment uses a new Criticality Safety Analysis (CSA) methodology for performing the criticality safety evaluation for legacy fuel types in addition to the new ATRIUM 10XM fuel design in the DNPS spent fuel pools (SFPs). In addition, the licensee's amendment request proposes a change to the DNPS Technical Specification (TS) 4.3.1, ``Criticality,'' in support of the new CSA.
