Subject:

Supplement - License Amendment Request - Proposed Defueled Technical Specifications and Revised License Conditions for Permanently Defueled Condition

Reference:

1) Letter from Michael P. Gallagher (Exelon Generation Company, LLC) to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission - "License Amendment Request -

Proposed Defue/ed Technical Specifications and Revised License Conditions for Permanently Defueled Condition," dated July 25, 2018 (ML18206A545)

By letter dated July 25, 2018 (Reference 1), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) submitted a License Amendment Request (LAR) to revise the Renewed Facility Operating License (RFOL) DPR-50 and Technical Specifications consistent with the permanent cessation of reactor operation and permanent defueling of the reactor for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (TMl-1).

The purpose of this letter is to withdraw Exelon's request to eliminate License Condition 2.c.(21) from the RFOL. The license condition was determined to preserve obligations to complete certain future activities related to license renewal that would be applicable in decommissioning, particularly item 43, Boral and Metamic Test Coupon Surveillance. The Attachment to this letter provides a revised markup of the TMl-1 RFOL page to reflect this change. This revised page supersedes the associated page in Reference 1.

Exelon has reviewed the information supporting a finding of No Significant Hazards Consideration and the Environmental Consideration provided to the NRC in Reference 1. The additional information provided in this submittal does not affect the previously stated bases in Reference 1 for concluding that the proposed license amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration. In addition, the information provided in this submittal does not affect the bases for concluding that neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment needs to be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Supplement to TMI License Amendment Request Docket Nos. 50-289 March 6, 2019 Page2 The proposed change has been reviewed and approved by the TMI Plant Operations Review Committee in accordance with the requirements of the Exelon Quality Assurance Program.

If you have any questions concerning this submittal, please contact Paul Bonnett at (610) 765-5264.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on the 61h day of March 2019.
