SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - LIMERICK GENERATING STATION (0500035212010001 and 05000353/2010001)

Dear Mr. Pardee:

On February 16, 2010, the NRC staff completed its performance review of Limerick Generating Station. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (Pis) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. The pwpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this

.period and our plans for future inspections at your facility.

This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A separate letter designated and marked as "Official Use Only - Security Information" will include the security cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan.

Overall, limerick Units 1 and 2 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met aI/ cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for the most recent quarter, as well as for the first three quarters of the assessment cycle, was within the Licensee Response column of the NRC's Action Matrix, based on all inspection findings being classified as having very low safety significance (Green) and all Pis indicating performance at a level requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green). Therefore, we plan to conduct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility. We also plan on conducting infrequently performed inspection procedures {IPs} which include IP 60855, "Operation of an ISFSI" and IP 92702, "Follow-up on Corrective Actions for Violations and Deviations"regarding issues associated with the reactor building crane (Ml093500674)1.

1 Designation in parenthesis refers to an ADAMS accession number. Documents referenced in this letter are publicly available using the accession number in ADAMS.

e. Pardee 2 The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to physical protection, scheduled through June 30, 2011. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the resolution of any scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of inspector arrival

. onsite. Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature.

The inspections in the last nine months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the mid-cycle review.

In accordance with 10 eFR Part 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site af httg:llwww.nrc.govfreading rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

If circumstances arise which cause us to change the inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact me at (610) 337-5120 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection plan.
