Subject:
Withdrawal of Request for License Amendment Regarding Transition to Westinghouse Fuel Reference :
Letter from P. R. Simpson (Exelon Generation Company, LLC) to U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, "Request for License Amendment Regarding Transition to Westinghouse Fuel," dated January 20, 2005 In the referenced letter, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) requested an amendment to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DFPR-19 and DPR-25 for Dresden Nuclear Power Station (DNPS) Units 2 and 3, and Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-29 and DPR-30 for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station (QCNPS) Units 1 and 2. The proposed change supports the transition to Westinghouse SVEA-96 Optimal fuel at DNPS and QCNPS.
The NRC discussed several concerns with EGC's justification for the proposed amendment during a conference call on March 4, 2005. EGC has performed a preliminary review of the NRC's concerns, and is actively working with Westinghouse to compile additional information to address the concerns. However, since the NRC indicated during the March 4, 2005, conference call that the submittal currently lacks information that is needed to continue the NRC review, EGC is withdrawing the proposed change. EGC currently plans to resubmit the proposed change in its entirety following compilation of the additional information needed to support the proposed change.
