I sent Andrew a private memo that was actually INCORRECT. I listed five sites in Illinois, but there are actually 13 generators. The following link give a great map of all of the U.S.'s Nuclear Power Plants:

ComEd has nuclear plant sites at Braidwood (2 units), Byron (2 units), LaSalle (2 units), Quad Cities (2 units), Dresden (3 units), and Zion (2 units).

Both Zion units were permanently retired in December 1997. One of the Dresden units has been retired for several years. Both LaSalle units have been shut down since September 1996. The NRC recently aproved restart for at least one of the latter. Both Quad Cities units recently came back on line after an extensive shutdown by the NRC.
