NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-237 and 50-249]


Exelon Generation Company, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Amendments 
to Facility Operating Licenses

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 191 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-19 and 
Amendment No. 185 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-25, issued to 
Exelon Generation Company, LLC (the licensee), which revised the 
Operating License (OL) and Technical Specifications (TS) for operation 
of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3 (DNPS) located in 
Grundy County, Illinois. The amendment is effective as of the date of 
issuance.
    The amendment modified the OL and TS to allow an increase of the 
authorized operating power level from 2527 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 
2957 MWt at DNPS. The change represents an increase of approximately 17 
percent above the current rated thermal power and is considered an 
extended power uprate.
    The application for the amendment complies with the standards and 
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), 
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made 
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules 
and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license 
amendment.
    Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment to Facility 
Operating License and Opportunity for a Hearing in connection with this 
action was published in the Federal Register on November 20, 2001 (66 
FR 58183). No request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene 
was filed following this notice.
    The Commission has prepared an Environmental Assessment related to 
the action and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact 
statement. Based upon the environmental assessment, the Commission has 
concluded that the issuance of the amendment will not have a 
significant effect on the quality of the human environment (66 FR 
65752).
    Further details with respect to the action may be found in (1) The 
application for amendment dated December 27, 2000, as supplemented by 
letters dated February 12; April 6 and 13; May 3, 18, and 29; June 5, 
7, and 15; July 6 and 23; August 7, 8, 9, 13 (two letters), 14 (two

25, 26, and 27 (two letters); October 17; November 2, 16, and 30; and 
December 10, 17 and 18, 2001, (2) Amendment Nos. 191 and 185 to License 
Nos. DPR-19 and DPR-25, respectively, (3) the Commission's related
