SUBJECT:

DONALD C. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - PARTIALWITHDRAWAL OF AN AMENDMENT REQUEST (TAC NOS. MD3462 AND MD3463)

Dear Mr. Nazar:

By letter dated November 3, 2006 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System(ADAMS) Accession No. ML063320468), as supplemented by letter dated June 27, 2007 (ADAMS Accession No. ML071930148), you applied for an amendment to the Donald C. Cook Units 1 and 2 (DCCNP-1 and DCCNP-2), Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-58 and DPR-74. The amendment would reflect a plant modification that will replace the reactor coolant System (RCS) resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and bypass piping with fast-response RTD detectors mounted in thermowells directly in the primary loop piping of DCCNP-2. The proposed TS changes affect the applicable notes in the DCCNP-2 TS surveillance requirement (SR) for channel calibration of the overtemperature differential temperature (OTT) and overpower differential temperature (OPT) reactor trip system (RTS)functions. The proposed change would also affect both units TS allowable values (AV) for

OTT and OPT RTS functions. In the letter dated June 27, 2007, you withdrew the proposedchanges to the DCCNP-1 and DCCNP-2 AVs for OTT and OPT RTS functions. The Commission has filed the enclosed Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment toRenewed Facility Operating License with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.Sincerely,/RA/Adrian Muniz, Project ManagerPlant Licensing Branch III-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor RegulationDocket Nos. 50-315 and 50-316

DPR-58 and DPR-74 for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (DCCNP-1 and DCCNP-2), located in Berrien County, Michigan. The proposed amendment would have revised the technical specifications to reflect aplant modification that will replace the reactor coolant system (RCS) resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and bypass piping with fast-response RTD detectors mounted in thermowells directly in the primary loop piping of DCCNP-2. The proposed TS changes affect the applicable notes in the DCCNP-2 TS surveillance requirement for channel calibration of the overtemperature differential temperature (OTT) and overpower differential temperature (OPT) reactor trip system (RTS) functions. The proposed change would also affect both units'TS Allowable Values (AV) for OTT and OPT RTS functions. The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance ofAmendment published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on January 3, 2007 (72 FR 153). However, by letter dated June 27, 2007, the licensee withdrew the proposed changes to the DCCNP-1 and DCCNP-2 AV for OTT and OPT RTS functions.
