In Reference 1 Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (CEG) requested a License Amendment Request (LAR) to facilitate replacement of the Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2 (LGS) existing safety-related analog control systems with a single digital Plant Protection System (PPS). In Reference 2, CEG submitted a LAR supplement that replaced in its entirety the original LAR. CEG replaced the original submittal to address issues associated with proprietary/non-proprietary information.

In Reference 3, the NRC provided four requests for confirmatory information (RCIs) and eight requests for additional information (RAIs) to support the NRCs review of the Reference 2 LAR. As part of Reference 3, the NRC requested CEG to provide responses to the RAIs by April 6, 2025 (i.e., 90 days from the date of Reference 3). The responses to the RCIs were previously submitted (ADAMS Accession No. ML25037A286).

In Reference 4, the NRC provided five requests for additional information (RAIs) to support the NRCs review of the Reference 2 LAR. As part of Reference 4, the NRC requested CEG to provide responses to the RAIs by April 7, 2025.

Based on discussions during the Reference 5 meeting, CEG requests an additional 90 days to provide the RAI responses.

This letter contains no regulatory commitments.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91, Notice for public comment; State consultation, paragraph (b), CEG is notifying the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania of this license amendment request supplement by transmitting a copy of this letter to the designated State Official.

If you have any questions regarding this submittal, then please contact Ms. Ashley Rickey at Ashley.Rickey@constellation.com.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on this 4th day of April, 2025.
