SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 WITHDRAWAL OF RELIEF REQUEST NO. 3RR-19 (TAC NOS. ME8521 AND ME8522)

Dear Mr. Rausch:

1 By letter dated April 24, 2012, PPL Susquehanna, LLC, Inc. (PPL) submitted a relief request for Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units. 1 and 2 (SSES). The proposed relief request would revise the inspection requirements for certain reactor pressure vessel (RPV) nozzle-to-vessel welds and nozzle inner radii from those based on American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME Code),Section XI to an alternative based on ASME Code Case N-702, "Alternative Requirements for Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Nozzle Inner Radius and Nozzle-to-Shell Welds." Subsequently, by letter dated August 3,2012,2 you requested to withdraw the relief request due to SSES exceeding a design assumption used in the technical basis for Code Case N-702.

The purpose of this letter is to advise that the above-cited application is being treated as withdrawn and the associated TACs will be closed.

If you have any questions please contact me at 301-415-1603.
