On September 16, 2008, representatives of Exelon Generation Company, LLC, the licensee for Byron Station, Units 1 and 2, met with NRC personnel in the Region III office located in Lisle, Illinois, to discuss the apparent violation identified in NRC Inspection Report Number 2008003. The regulatory conference was held at the request of the licensee.

The purpose of the regulatory conference was to discuss the preliminary white finding regarding the inadvertent entry into an unanalyzed orange risk condition at Bryon Station, Unit 2.
