==Dear Mr. Hanson:==
I am writing to acknowledge receipt of Exelon Generation Company, LLCs (Exelons) letter dated November 27, 2019, which clarifies Exelons original response to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Inspection Report 05000244/2019010 issued on September 18, 2019 (ML19261A083) 1.
 
In the original response letter (ML19291A173), Exelon contested a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated Notice of Violation (NOV 05000244/2019010-02) issued to R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna). The finding and violation involved a failure by Ginna to design or ensure that in the event of a design-basis earthquake, the safety-related Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) Motor Control Centers (MCCs) H and J would not be lost due to an electrical circuit fault in the non-safety-related sump pump motors. In the clarification letter (ML19337A431), Exelon is requesting that the NRC make a decision regarding Exelons claim that Ginna is meeting its licensing basis. Based upon the results of the determination of whether the licensing basis is met or not, Exelon stated that it may contest the violation as a backfit. Exelon further stated that if the NRC determined that the issue did not constitute a backfit, Exelon may decide to appeal that determination as well. The NRC intends to review Exelons response and provide a letter documenting the basis for any decision relative to the disputed NOV.
 
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available 1 Designation refers to an Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) accession number.

Dear Mr. Hanson:

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of Exelon Generation Company, LLCs (Exelons) letter dated November 27, 2019, which clarifies Exelons original response to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Inspection Report 05000244/2019010 issued on September 18, 2019 (ML19261A083) 1.

In the original response letter (ML19291A173), Exelon contested a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated Notice of Violation (NOV 05000244/2019010-02) issued to R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna). The finding and violation involved a failure by Ginna to design or ensure that in the event of a design-basis earthquake, the safety-related Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) Motor Control Centers (MCCs) H and J would not be lost due to an electrical circuit fault in the non-safety-related sump pump motors. In the clarification letter (ML19337A431), Exelon is requesting that the NRC make a decision regarding Exelons claim that Ginna is meeting its licensing basis. Based upon the results of the determination of whether the licensing basis is met or not, Exelon stated that it may contest the violation as a backfit. Exelon further stated that if the NRC determined that the issue did not constitute a backfit, Exelon may decide to appeal that determination as well. The NRC intends to review Exelons response and provide a letter documenting the basis for any decision relative to the disputed NOV.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.390 of the NRCs Rules of Practice, a copy of this letter and your response (if any) will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRCs Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available 1 Designation refers to an Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) accession number.
