M75091)
By letter dated January 29,2003 the Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC) submitted a letter requesting the Nuclear Regulator Commission (NRC) provide confirmation that the replacement steam generators may be designed on the basis of the reduced loads resulting from the application of leak-before-break criteria to postulated breaks In the primary reactor coolant loop piping. In that letter the NMC outlined the licensing justification for designing the replacement steam generators based on the reduced loads. By letter dated April 23, 2003, the NRC identified that additional nformation was needed. In accordance with the request in the NRC's April 23, 2003 letter, the NMC provided the additional information in letter dated June 2, 2003.
Subsequent to the June 2, 2003 letter, the NRC verbally informed the NMC that the NRC would no longer be providing the type of confirmation requested in the January 29, 2003 letter. Therefore the NMC is withdrawing the request that the NRC provide confirmation that the replacement steam generators may be designed on the basis of the reduced loads resulting from the application of leak-before-break criteria to postulated breaks In the primary reactor coolant loop piping.
This letter contains no new commitments and no revisions to existing commitments.
