January 28, 2002 Mr. Oliver D. Kingsley, President Exelon Nuclear Exelon Generation Company, LLC 200 Exelon Way, KSA 3-E Kennett Square, PA 19348

SUBJECT:

LIMERICK GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - WITHDRAWAL OF AMENDMENT REQUEST RE: OSCILLATION POWER RANGE MONITOR REACTOR SCRAM FUNCTION (TAC NOS. MB2194 AND MB2195)

Dear Mr. Kingsley:

By letter dated June 13, 2001, Exelon Generation Company, LLC, applied for amendments to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-39 and NPF-85 for Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2. The proposed change would have modified the facility and the facility Technical Specifications by replacing the interim corrective actions for thermal-hydraulic power oscillations with an automatic reactor scram from the output of the oscillation power range monitor.

Subsequently, by letter dated December 13, 2001, Exelon Generation Company withdrew the amendment request.

The Commission has filed the enclosed Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses with the Office of the Federal Register for publication. The associated TAC Nos. MB2194 and MB2195 are being closed.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Christopher Gratton, Sr. Project Manager, Section 2 Project Directorate I Division of Licensing Project Management Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-352 and 50-353
