SUBJECT:

LIMERICK GENERATING STATION - NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION INSPECTION REPORT 05000352/2003009, 05000353/2003009

Dear Mr. Skolds:

On November 21, 2003, the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Limerick Generating Station Units 1 and 2. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed on November 21, 2003, with Mr. R. DeGregorio and other members of your staff.

This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

The report documents one NRC identified finding of very low safety significance (Green). This finding was determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low safety significance and because it has been entered into your corrective action program, the NRC is treating this issue as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV) consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest the Non-Cited Violation in this report, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Region I; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region I; Director of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Limerick facility.

Mr. John In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions "Rules of Practice,"

a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records component of the Nuclear Regulatory Commissions document system. The Agency wide Document Access and Management system is accessible from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/
