Summary

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering issuance of exemptions in response to the January 31, 2025, request, as supplemented on January 20, 2026, from Constellation Energy Generation LLC (the licensee) related to Dresden Nuclear Power Station (DNPS), Units 2 and 3, located in Grundy County, Illinois. The exemptions would allow the licensee to withdraw a small portion of the funds from the DNPS, Units 2 and 3, nuclear decommissioning trust funds (DTFs) to facilitate the prompt disposal of certain retired major radioactive components (MRCs), and to demolish and dispose of the mausoleum currently used to store those MRCs. The NRC staff is issuing an environmental assessment (EA) and finding of no significant impact (FONSI) associated with the proposed exemptions.
