                     - Exemption from the Requirements of 10 CFR 140.11(a)(4), Concerning Offsite Primary and Secondary Liability Insurance (EPID L-2018-LLE-0003)," dated December 19, 2018 (ML18229A005)
: 2. Letter from Michael P. Gallagher, (Exelon Generation Company, LLC) to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission - "Certification of Permanent Removal of Fuel from the Reactor Vessel for Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Station,"
dated September 25, 2018 (ML18268A258)
On December 19, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved the exemption from specific requirements of 10 CFR 140.11 (a)(4) concerning offsite primary and secondary liability insurance for Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS). This action requested an exemption to reduce the required level of primary offsite liability insurance from $450 million to $100 million and to eliminate the requirement to carry secondary financial protection for OCNGS. The exemption is effective 12 months (365 days) after the docketing of the certification of permanent fuel removal from the reactor vessel for OCNGS. On September 25, 2018, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) notified the NRC that fuel was permanently removed from the OCNGS reactor vessel (Reference 2). Enclosure 2 of Reference 1 was Amendment No. 17 to Indemnity Agreement No. B-37.
As part of the implementation of this exemption, a signed Amendment No. 17 to Indemnity Agreement No. B-37 for OCNGS needs to be docketed. Attached to this letter is the signed Amendment.
No commitments to the NRC are made in this letter.
