Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-39 and NPF-85 NRC Docket Nos. 50-352 and 50-353

Subject:

2008 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report

Dear Sir:

In accordance with the requirements of Section 6.9.17 of Limerick Generating Station (LGS) Unit 1 and Unit 2 Tech. Specs. and Section 6.1 of the LGS Units 1 and 2 Offsite Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM), this letter submits the 2008 Annual Radiological Environmental Operating Report No. 24. This report provides the 2008 results for the Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program (REMP) as called for in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.

In assessing the data collected for the REMP, we have concluded that the operation of LGS, Units 1 and 2 had no adverse impact on the environment. No plant-produced fission or activation products, with the exception of Cs-137, were found in any pathway modeled by the REMP. Cesium-137 levels detected in sediment were consistent with levels found in previous years and were attributable to LGS liquid releases. Results of the groundwater protection program are also included in this report. Positive tritium was found in 5 of 15 groundwater monitoring locations that ranged up to 902 pCi/L.

There are no commitments contained in this letter.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely, Christopher H. Mudrick Vice President -LGS Exelon Generation Company, LLC
