SUBJECT:

HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION - WITHDRAWAL OF AMENDMENTREQUEST FOR EXTENDED POWER UPRATE (TAC NO. MC8839)

Dear Mr. Levis:

By letter dated February 10, 2006, PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG or the licensee) withdrew itsrequest for an extended power uprate (EPU) for the Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station(Hope Creek). The licensee applied for an EPU on November 7, 2005. In a conference call on February 2, 2006, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff informed PSEG that certainareas of the application lacked sufficient information for the staff to complete its review. The NRC staff's primary concern was the licensee's evaluations of the structural integrity of components that are subjected to higher flow rates at EPU conditions (the steam dryers in particular). The NRC staff identified these concerns during its acceptance review of the EPUapplication. The staff had discussed its concerns with PSEG on January 12, 2006, at which time PSEG agreed to revise its analyses. PSEG's February 10, 2006, letter includes a summary of the actions PSEG plans to take in response to the NRC staff's concerns.The purpose of this letter is to acknowledge PSEG's withdrawal of the EPU application for HopeCreek and to inform you that the NRC staff's efforts under TAC No. MC8839 have beendiscontinued. Also, PSEG has expressed an interest in meeting with the NRC staff to discussthe results of the acceptance review in support of PSEG's plans to resubmit the EPU request at a later date. The NRC staff will support the meeting, and other requested preapplicationactivities, under a new TAC. If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-1321 or at snb@nrc.gov.
