Retraction of License Amendment Request Containment Leak Rate Testing Frequency

Reference:

Letter from J.B. Hosmer (Comed) to U. S. NRC " Application for Amendment to Appendix A, Technical Specifications, Containment Leak Rate Testing," dated November 7,1997.

The purpose of this letter is to withdraw, from NRC consideration, the Commonwealth Edison (Comed) Company license amendment request submitted in the referenced letter, in the referenced letter, Comed proposed to revise Technical Specifications (TS)

Surveillance Sections 4.6.1.1.c,4.6.1.2.a,4.6.1.2.b and the bases to allow Comed to perform 10CFR50, Appendix J, Containment integrated Leak Rate Test (i.e., Type A) testing of the Byron Station Unit 2 containment and Braidwood Station Unit 2 containment at least once per 10 years based on a single successful Type A test rather than two successful Type A leak rate tests. After further consideration of this request, we have decided to perform the required Type A leak rate tests.

Bauer at (630) 663-7287.
