Exelon to Close Byron, Dresden Reactors

摘要

Lack of an Illinois legislative solution has convinced Exelon to proceed with its plans to close its Byron and Dresden reactor complexes in September and November, respectively.Exelon originally announced its plans to shut down the four reactors at the two sites in August 2020 because of revenue shortfalls in the hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s despite Dresden being licensed to operate for another 10 years, and Byron licensed for another 20 years. Exelon currently has 15 commercial reactors in several states.
