NORTH ANNA POWER STATION UNIT 1 ONE TIME EXTENSION OF THE COMPLETION TIME FOR 1 "J" - 480 VOLT AC DISTRIBUTION SUBSYSTEM WITHDRAWAL OF LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST Serial No.
NL&OS/ETS Docket No.
License No.
09-301A 50-338 NPF-4 In a July 23, 2009 letter (Serial No.09-301), Dominion requested an amendment to the Facility Operating License, in the form of changes to the Technical Specifications to Facility Operating License Number NPF-4 for North Anna Power Station Unit 1. Dominion had requested that the proposed change be reviewed on an expedited basis to proactively address conditions after North Anna Unit 1 experienced a small fire in a breaker for a control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) fan. The proposed change would have revised Technical Specification (TS) 3.8.9 Condition A, by adding a note to allow a one-time 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time to interrogate a failed breaker and the associated Unit 1 "J" 480 Volt emergency bus switchgear to ensure the emergency power system continues operation in a reliable condition for the remainder of the operating cycle.
On October 23, 2009 North Anna Unit 1 was shut down due to leakage in the letdown system.
With the unit off line, Dominion was able to remove the affected breaker and perform an inspection of the Unit 1 "J" 480 Volt emergency bus switchgear. Therefore, the one time 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time is no longer necessary and Dominion is hereby withdrawing the amendment request.
