J. Polson (NMPNS) to Document Control Desk (NRC), dated April 3, 2008, License Amendment Request Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90:

Elimination of Credit for Boraflex in Spent Fuel Pool Criticality Analyses -

Technical Specification Section 5.5, Storage ofUnirradiated and Spent Fuel By letter dated April 3, 2008 (Reference a), Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC (NMPNS) requested an amendment to Nine Mile Point Unit 1 (NMP1) Renewed Operating License DPR-63. The proposed amendment would have revised NMPI Technical Specification Section 5.5, "Storage of Unirradiated and Spent Fuel," to reflect the current spent fuel storage rack configuration and would have eliminated reliance on BoraflexTM as a neutron absorber in the two remaining Boraflex storage racks located in the spent fuel storage pool. New criticality analyses were performed to support the proposed change.

NMPNS hereby withdraws the license amendment request submitted in Reference (a) from your review.
