NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Docket Nos. 50-269, 50-270, AND 50-287
Duke Energy Corporation; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for
Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted
the request of Duke Energy Corporation (the licensee) to withdraw its
September 4, 1997, application for proposed amendments to Facility
Operating License Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55 for the Oconee
Nuclear Station Units 1, 2, and 3, respectively, located in Seneca,
South Carolina.
The proposed amendments would have revised the Technical
Specifications (TS) pertaining to the justification of the
acceptability of the current TS for the High Pressure Injection (HPI)
System and allowing operation at reduced power levels with two HPI
pumps. The submittal was made because of the potential for an extended
shutdown to repair the 3B HPI pump that existed at the time the
amendments were proposed. The 3B pump has been repaired.
The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Amendments published in the Federal Register on September
24, 1997 (62 FR 50003). However, by letter dated February 9, 1998, the
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
For further details with respect to this action, see the
application for amendments dated September 4, 1997, and the licensee's
letter dated February 9, 1998, which withdrew the application for
license amendments. The above documents are available for public
inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman
Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC, and at the local public
document room located at the Oconee County Library, 501 West South
Broad Street, Walhalla, South Carolina.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day of February 1998.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David E. LaBarge,
Senior Project Manager, Project Directorate II-2, Division of Reactor
Projects--I/II, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
