SUBJECT:

DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT 1 - WITHDRAWAL OF AN AMENDMENT REQUEST (TAC NO. MB3280)

Dear Mr. Bezilla:

By letter to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated October 12, 2001, you applied for an amendment to the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1 (DBNPS), Facility Operating License No. NPF-3. The proposed amendment would have made necessary revisions to the DBNPS technical specifications to reflect an increase in the authorized rated thermal power from 2772 MWt to 2817 MWt (approximately 1.63 percent), based on the use of Caldon Inc. Leading Edge Flow Meter (LEFM) CheckPlusTM System instrumentation to improve the accuracy of the feedwater mass flow input to the plant power calorimetric measurement.

Subsequently, by letter dated December 20, 2004, you withdrew the amendment request.

The NRC 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/
