UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 March 8, 2018 Mr. Patrick R. Simpson Manager - Licensing Exelon Generation 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING EXELON GENERATING COMPANY, LLCS DECOMMISSIONING FUNDING PLAN UPDATE FOR CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, R.E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, BRAIDWOOD STATION, BYRON STATION, DRESDEN NUCLEAR POWER STATION, LASALLE COUNTY STATION, LIMERICK GENERATING STATION, OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION, QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, AND SALEM GENERATING STATION INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATIONS

Dear Mr. Simpson:

By letter dated March 31, 2015, Exelon Generation Company (EGC) submitted, for U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff review and approval, a decommissioning funding plan update (DFP Update) for the independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSI) at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, Braidwood Station, Byron Station, Dresden Nuclear Power Station, LaSalle County Station, Limerick Generating Station, Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station, Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, and Salem Generating Station (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML15090A537). The NRC staff reviewed EGCs DFP update for each ISFSI and believes EGCs submittal was not sufficient to meet the intent of the requirement in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 72.30(c). Specifically, the DFP updates do not provide sufficient information to allow the NRC to determine that the events listed in 10 CFR 72.30(c)(1)-(4) have been considered.

The NRC staff need the information identified in the enclosure to this letter. We request that you provide this information within forty-five (45) working day of the date of this letter. Inform us at your earliest convenience, but no later than 2 weeks prior to the due date, if you are not able to provide the information by that date. To assist us in re-scheduling your review, you should include a new proposed submittal date and the reasons for the delay. Discussion of the request for additional information (RAI) and RAI response date occurred February 28, 2018.

In future correspondence related to this request, please reference CAC No. 001028, the Docket Number(s) and EPID(s) listed in the table.
