SUBJECT:
DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION UNIT 1 - WITHDRAWAL OF AN AMENDMENT REQUEST TO ADOPT ALTERNATE REPAIR CRITERIA FOR AXIAL TUBE END CRACKING INDICATIONS IN STEAM GENERATOR TUBES (TAC NO. MC7049)
Dear Mr. Bezilla:
By letter to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated May 22, 2005, you applied for an amendment to the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station (DBNPS), Unit 1, Facility Operating License No. NPF-3. The proposed change would have modified the facility technical specifications (TS) pertaining to a qualified alternate repair criteria for axial tube end cracking indications in the DBNPS once through steam generator tubes. Specifically, the proposed amendment would revise the TS surveillance requirements for the steam generator inservice inspection to include tube end cracking alternate repair criteria.
By letter to the NRC dated February 16, 2006, in response to Generic Letter 2006-01, ?Steam Generator Tube Integrity and Associated Technical Specifications, you committed to submit a license amendment application by May 31, 2006, proposing to amend the DBNPS TS to be consistent with TS Task Force (TSTF)-449, ?Steam Generator Tube Integrity, Revision 4.
Since this new license application will be incompatible with the changes proposed in the earlier license amendment application, by letter dated April 20, 2006, you withdrew the May 22, 2005, amendment request and indicated your plans to resubmit the license amendment application at a later date.
M. Bezilla 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,
