SUBJECT:
SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT 2 - WITHDRAWAL OF AN AMENDMENT REQUEST CONCERNING ESSENTIAL RAW COOLING WATER SYSTEM OPERABILITY DURING HEAVY LOAD LIFTS (TAC NO. MB5571)
Dear Mr. Scalice:
By letter dated July 10, 2002, you applied for an amendment to the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Unit 2, Facility Operating License No. DPR-79. The proposed one-time Technical Specification (TS) change would have revised the Sequoyah Unit 2 Limiting Condition for Operation for TS Section 3.7.4, Essential Raw Cooling Water System, to include provisions for maintaining operability of this system during performance of heavy load lifts associated with the Unit 1 steam generator replacement project. Subsequently, by letter dated November 15, 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/

7590-01-P UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT 2 DOCKET NO. 50-328 NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Tennessee Valley Authority (the licensee) to withdraw its July 10, 2002, application for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-79 for the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Unit No. 2, located in Hamilton County, Tennessee.
The proposed one-time technical specification (TS) change would have revised the Sequoyah Unit 2 Limiting Condition for Operation for TS Section 3.7.4, Essential Raw Cooling Water System, to include provisions for maintaining operability of this system during performance of heavy load lifts associated with the Unit 1 steam generator replacement (SGR) project. The provisions were intended to ensure safe operation of Unit 2 during heavy load lift activities. In addition, compensatory measures proposed would have ensured safe shutdown capability of Unit 2 in the unlikely event a heavy load drop occurs over Essential Raw Cooling Water system piping.
The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on August 6, 2002 (67 FR 50960).
However, by letter dated November 15, 2002, the licensee withdrew the proposed change.
For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated July 10, 2002, and the licensee's letter dated November 15, 2002, which withdrew the application for license amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at
