Dresden’s nuclear reactors could operate until 2051 following a license renewal application, supported by Illinois’ recent energy policies. Submission of the license renewal application to the NRC (Nuclear Regulatory Commission) initiated a detailed regulatory review that will take place over several years, including on-site inspections, environmental reviews and public participation. This process will be divided into two parts: one for safety issues and the other for environmental issues.
