Dear Mr. Pardee:

By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated February 29, 2008 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML080640587), Exelon Generation Company, LLC, (Exelon) submitted Relief Request CRR-13 associated with the first and second Containment Inservice Inspection intervals for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3.

Please provide a detail that shows the as-constructed structural configuration of the drywell including its concrete components (i.e., concrete floor, concrete foundation and concrete wall with important dimensions and elevations).

RAI-2)

Please confirm if the seal weld for the manway penetration was radiographed and tested for leak-tightness (indicate method used) prior to being covered with concrete.

RAI-3)

Since the proposed alternative in Section 6 is the Appendix J Integrated Leak Rate Testing, please provide the results, with dates and acceptance criteria, of the most recent two Type A tests performed on the Primary Containment at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Unit 2 and Unit 3.
