Reactors Yet to be Decommissioned List

Reactor Dismantlement History - USA only
Power, Test, and Research Scheduled for Dismantlement
revised 8/26/06

Plant/Facility	Estimated Start of Reactor Disassembly	Comments
Dresden-1	estimate 2010 if Units-2 & 3 not extended	No significant dismantlement is underway. DP approved 1993. To be dismantled with units 2 and 3.
Humbolt Bay-3	license termination planned 2011	Units 1 & 2 are non-nuclear. Reactor is still intact and dry. Possibly will be flooded for internals removal.
GE-VBWR (Vallecitos)	unknown	No plans for significant dismantlement in the foreseeable future.
Indian Point-1	estimate 2013	No significant dismantlement is underway. Plans are for D&D to be done with Unit-2.
Peach Bottom-1	2015	No significant dismantlement is underway. Expected to be done when Units 2 and 3 shutdown in 2015.
Three Mile Island-1	2014	Expected to be decommissioned at same time as partially disassembled Unit-2
Vallecitos (see GE-VBWR)	See above	Because the NRC calls this facility "GE-VBWR" we list it the same. See "GE-VBWR" for this facility.
Zion-1 & 2	2015-2019	Segmentation of Internals and RV planned.

The purpose of this table is to provide the reader with an overview of when reactor disassembly activities are to begin at various USA nuclear facilities. Some of these facilities may have started the decommissioning process, but their reactors have not been started or are still in place. Smaller "swimming pool" type reactors generally will not be listed here.

Please advise of of any errors or questionable information and we will immediately remove it or list our source to verify it is correct.

References used are listed on the Plant/Facility detailed information sheets.

We will add non-USA facilities if we are provided with the information.
