SUBJECT:
BYRON STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, AND BRAIDWOOD STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 - WITHDRAWAL OF AN AMENDMENT REQUEST (TAC NOS. MB4671, MB4672, MB4669, AND MB4670)
Dear Mr. Skolds:
By letter dated March 19, 2002, you applied for an amendment to the Byron Station, Units 1 and 2, Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-37 and NPF-66, and Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-72 and NPF-77. The proposed change would have modified the facility technical specifications (TS) pertaining to the method of controlling the fuel cycle unfavorable exposure time (UET) related to an anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) event. Specifically, the proposed change would have deleted TS 5.6.5.b.5 and appropriately would have revised the discussion of an ATWS event in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, Section 15.8, Anticipated Transient Without Scram. Subsequently, by letter dated March 13, 2003, 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/
