Exelon Generation Company, LLC; Byron Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is considering the issuance of amendments to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-37 and NPF-66, issued to Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon, or the licensee) for operation of Byron Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2. The proposed amendments would revise technical specification requirements to provide a one-time extension for Byron Station, Unit No. 2 steam generator (SG) tube inspections. The amendments are necessary to avoid conflicts with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations regarding social distancing to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus. For this amendment request, the NRC proposes to determine that it involves no significant hazards consideration. Because this amendment request contains sensitive unclassified non-safeguards information (SUNSI), an order imposes procedures to obtain access to SUNSI for contention preparation.
