7590-01-P UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-275 AND 50-323 NOTICE OF WITHDRAWAL OF APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENTS TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E/the licensee) to withdraw its December 28, 2004, license amendment request (LAR) for proposed amendments to Facility Operating License No. DPR-80 and Facility Operating License No. DPR-82 for the Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, located in San Luis Obispo County, California.
The proposed amendments would have relocated certain reactor coolant system related cycle-specific parameters from the Technical Specifications (TS) to the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR) for Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. The justification to implement this expansion of the COLR is provided in Westinghouse WCAP-14483-A, Generic Methodology for Expanding Core Operating Limits Report, approved by the NRC on January 19, 1999. PG&E had stated that the proposed changes are consistent with NRC-approved Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Standard Technical Specification Change Traveler, TSTF-339, Revision 2, "Relocate TS Parameters to COLR." However, during the course of this review the NRC staff has informed PG&E that previous approvals of COLR-related amendments may not have met the intent of 10 CFR 50.36 and that the NRC staff intends to issue a generic communication providing additional guidance to the industry. As no date has been established for issuance of the revised guidance, by letter dated September 22, 2005, the licensee withdraws this LAR.
The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments published in the Federal Register on April 26, 2005 (70 FR 21460). However, by letter dated September 22, 2005, the licensee withdrew the proposed change. The licensee's application dated December 28, 2004, and the withdrawal letter dated September 22, 2005, are available in the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession Numbers ML050040334 and ML053350345, respectively.
For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated December 28, 2004, and the withdrawal letter dated September 22, 2005. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the NRCs Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland. Publicly available records will be accessible electronically from the ADAMS Public Electronic Reading Room on the internet at the NRC Web site, http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams/html. Persons who do not have access to ADAMS or who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, should contact the NRC PDR Reference staff by telephone at 1-800-397-4209, or 301-415-4737 or by email to pdr@nrc.gov.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this day of December 2005.
