By letter dated January 22,2010 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML 100261546), Exelon Generation Company, LLC submitted a relief request for Limerick Generating Station (LGS), Units 1 and 2. The request proposes an alternative to the requirements of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XI, "Rules for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components," concerning a system leakage test with a VT-2 visual examination for the Primary Containment Instrument Gas (PCIG) piping.
