2. Letter from P. Bamford (U. S. NRC) to M. J. Pacilio (Exelon Generation Company, LLC), "Limerick Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 - Request for Additional Information Related to Request for License Amendment Regarding Measurement Uncertainty Recapture Power Uprate," dated July 15, 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML101940053)

In Reference 1, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) requested an amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-39 and NPF-85 for Limerick Generating Station (LGS), Units 1 and 2, respectively. Specifically, the proposed changes revise the Operating License and Technical Specifications to implement an increase in rated thermal power of approximately 1.65%. In Reference 2, the NRC requested additional information to support review of the proposed changes.

EGC had previously agreed to provide a response to this request for additional information by August 16, 2010. After further review of the technical issues and the level of detail needed by the NRC staff to perform a review, EGC has determined that the first request (i.e., Request 1 of the three requests contained in Reference 2) will require additional time to complete. Therefore, EGC is proposing to provide a response to Request 1 by August 31, 2010. The responses to A--(Or(

i U. S.

This proposed approach and schedule was discussed in a teleconference with Mr. Peter Bamford of the NRC on July 26, 2010.
