Thank you for your letter of November 30, 2012 (ML12342A271) in response to our November 1, 2012, letter and Notice of Violation (ML12306A397) which cited Exelon for being in violation of Limerick Generating Station Unit 1 Technical Specification 6.8, Procedures and Programs, when Limerick operators did not adequately implement an alarm response procedure when responding to a main control room alarm on July 11, 2012.
