A Southern Nuclear December 2, 2019 Docket No.:

50-321 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, D. C. 20555-0001 Regulatory Affairs Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Unit 1 3535 Colonnade Parkway Birmingham, AL 35243 205 992 5000 tel 205 992 7795 fax NL-19-1471 Withdrawal of Emergency License Amendment Request for Technical Specification 3.7.1 Regarding One-Time Extension of Completion Time for RHRSW Pump Inoperable Ladies and Gentlemen:

In letter NL-19-1455, dated November 29, 2019, Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) submitted a request for a proposed emergency license amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP) Unit 1 renewed facility operating license DPR-57. The proposed amendment would have revised TS 3.7.1, "Residual Heat Removal Service Water (RHRSW) System," Condition A, "One RHRSW pump inoperable," to allow a one-time increase in the Completion Time from 30 days to 45 days.

Subsequent to the submittal, HNP personnel were able to complete the necessary repairs of the 1 B RHRSW pump and return it to Operable condition within the original completion time for Condition A and thus there is no longer a need for an extension of the completion time.

Therefore, SNC hereby withdraws the subject request for an emergency license amendment for HNP Unit 1 TS 3.7.1.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91, SNC is notifying the State of Georgia of the withdrawal of this license amendment request by transmitting a copy of this letter to the designated State Official.

This letter contains no NRC commitments. If you have any questions, please contact Jamie Coleman at 205.992.6611.

Respectfully submitted, C. A. Gay a
