Ladies and Gentlemen:
In Reference 1, Duke Energy Progress, Inc., referred to henceforth as Duke Energy, submitted a license amendment request (LAR) requesting review and approval of DPC-NF-2010, Revision 3, Nuclear Physics Methodology for Reload Design, and DPC-NE-2011-P, Revision 2, Nuclear Design Methodology Report for Core Operating Limits of Westinghouse Reactors and adoption of these two methodologies into the Technical Specifications for Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1 (HNP) and H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit No. 2 (RNP).
On March 23, 2016, a teleconference was held between staff from Duke Energy and the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation's Department of Operating Reactor Licensing to discuss dependency of the Reference 1 LAR on the unapproved methodology of DPC-NE-1008-P (submitted in the Reference 2 LAR). As a result of the teleconference, Duke Energy requests withdrawal of the Reference 1 LAR and plans to resubmit the request as a supplement to Reference 2.
