Nebraska Public Power District Nebraska's Energy Leader NmS980108 August 4,1998 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attention: Document Control Desk Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Gentlemen:

Subject:

Reinspection of the Reactor Vessel Core Shroud Welds Cooper Nuclear S'.ation, NRC Docket No. 50-298, DPR-46

Reference:

1. Letter (No. NLS970154) to USNRC Document Con.rol Desk from P. D. Graham (NPPD) dated November 25,1997, " Request for Deferral of Core Shroud Reinspection"
2. Letter to C. Terry, BWRVIP Chairman, from G. C. Lainas (USNRC) dated April 27,1998," Final Supplement to the Safety Evaluation of the BWR Vessel and Internals Project BWRVIP-07 Report (TAC No. M94959)

The purpose of this letter is to withdraw our request for deferral of the Core Shroud weld reinspection (Reference 1). The issuance of the safety evaluation for BWRVIP-07 (Reference 2) provides sufficient interim guidance for Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS). A reinspection of the Core Shroud welds is not required for the Fall 1998 refueling outage. The District is aware that the BWRVIP is still evaluating the NRC safety evaluation, and that further changes to BWRVIP-07 and the safety evaluation may occur. The District will continue to follow this issue and apply the appropriate reinspection criteria to CNS, 4

Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me.

j Sincerely, i
