SUBJECT:
OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 - WITHDRAWAL OF AN AMENDMENT REQUEST (TAC NOS. MB3820, MB3821, AND MB3822)
Dear Mr. Jones:
By letter dated December 6, 2002, you applied for amendments to the Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, Facility Operating Licenses DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55. The proposed change would have modified the facility technical specifications (TS) pertaining to the Control Room Area Cooling System (CRACS). The current TS requires entry into TS 3.0.3 when two trains of CRACS are inoperable. The proposed amendments would have eliminated the required entry into TS 3.0.3 and would have allowed 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> to restore the operability of one train. Subsequently, by letter dated November 26, 2002, you withdrew the amendment request.
The Commission has filed the enclosed Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.
Sincerely,
/RA/
