E9-24726. R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, LLC; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, LLC (the licensee) to withdraw its October 7, 2008, application for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. 18 for the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant located in Wayne County, New York.

The proposed amendment would have revised the operating license by introducing a new license condition requiring the reporting of reactor vessel inservice inspection information and analyses as specified in a Federal Register Notice dated October 3, 2007 (72 FR 56275), “Alternate Fracture Toughness Requirements for Protection Against Pressurized Thermal Shock Events.”

The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on December 16, 2008 (73 FR 76413). However, by letter dated September 28, 2009, the licensee withdrew the proposed change.

For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated October 7, 2008, and the licensee's letter dated September 28, 2009, which withdrew the application for license amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint North, Public File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland.
