SUBJECT:
SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - WITHDRAWAL OF AN AMENDMENT REQUEST (TAC NOS. MB9087 AND MB9088) (TSC 03-02)
Dear Mr. Scalice:
By letter dated May 22, 2003, you applied for amendments to the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-77 and DPR-79, respectively. The proposed change would have modified the limiting condition for operation for Technical Specification (TS) Section 3.7.5, Ultimate Heat Sink. Tennessee Valley Authority requested that the maximum emergency raw cooling water temperature requirement in TS 3.7.5.b be increased from 83 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) to 87 °F and that the minimum ultimate heat sink water elevation in TS 3.7.5.a be increased from 670 feet to 674 feet. Subsequently, by letter dated July 17, 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/
