Docket No. 50-482: Withdrawal of Proposed Technical Specification Change Gentlemen:

This letter withdraws the-application for amendment to Facility Operr, ting License No.

NPF-42 for Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS) Unit No.

I transmitted by Referance 1.

The proposed Technical Specification anange l

request.would have permitted operation of WCGS in Mode 3 with.:ertain

~

emergency core cooling system inj ection valves closed for an unlimited length of time with no restrictions on reactor coolant system pressure.

Reference 2 provided NRC staff views regarding the proposed changes and

)

identified additional, extensive analyses that would be required to support the request.

l Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corperscion has reevaluated the proposed Technical Specification changes and determined that the request should be withdrawn. The bases for this determination include the extensive nature of the additional an& lyses required by the NRC staff, the diminished j

I operational need for the changes, and the length of time involved from the original submittal until the anticipated completion of the NRC staff review. However, the amendment request may be resubmitted in the future if operational needs dictate.
