Dresden Generating Station (also known as Dresden Nuclear Power Plant or Dresden Nuclear Power Station) is the first privately financed nuclear power plant built in the United States. Dresden 1 was activated in 1960 and retired in 1978. Operating since 1970 are Dresden units 2 and 3, two General Electric BWR-3 boiling water reactors. Dresden Station is located on a site in Grundy County, Illinois, at the head of the Illinois River, near Morris, Illinois. It is immediately northeast of the Morris Operation—the only de facto high-level radioactive waste storage site in the United States. It serves Chicago and the northern quarter of the state of Illinois, capable of producing 867 megawatts of electricity from each of its two reactors, enough to power over one million average American homes. In 2004, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) renewed the operating licenses for both reactors, extending them from forty years to sixty. ==Activity== Between the 1970s and 1996, Dresden was fined $1.6 million for 25 incidents. * May 15, 1996: Lowering water levels around the nuclear fuel in the reactor's core prompt a shut down at Dresden Generating Station and placement on the NRC's "watch list" that merit closer scrutiny by regulators. Dresden was on the NRC watch list six out of nine years between 1987-1996, longer than any of the 70 other operating plants in the nation.〔http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1996-06-26/news/9606260054_1_nuclear-power-plant-nuclear-regulatory-commission-station-manager〕 * July 15, 2011: Plant declared an Alert at 10:16 a.m after a chemical leak of sodium hypochlorite restricted access to a vital area that houses plant cooling water pumps.〔http://www.firedirect.net/index.php/2011/07/nrc-responds-to-alert-to-dresden-nuclear-power-plant/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 July 15, 2011: Plant declared an Alert at 10:16 a.m after a chemical leak of sodium hypochlorite restricted access to a vital area that houses plant cooling water pumps.http://www.firedirect.net/index.php/2011/07/nrc-responds-to-alert-to-dresden-nuclear-power-plant/">ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■July 15, 2011: Plant declared an Alert at 10:16 a.m after a chemical leak of sodium hypochlorite restricted access to a vital area that houses plant cooling water pumps.http://www.firedirect.net/index.php/2011/07/nrc-responds-to-alert-to-dresden-nuclear-power-plant/">ウィキペディアで「Dresden Generating Station (also known as Dresden Nuclear Power Plant or Dresden Nuclear Power Station) is the first privately financed nuclear power plant built in the United States.
