NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50-498 and 50-499]
STP Nuclear Operating Company; Notice of Withdrawal of
Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted
the request of STP Nuclear Operating Company (the licensee) to withdraw
its August 18, 1997, application for proposed amendment to Facility
Operating Licenses Nos. NPF-76 and NPF-80 for the South Texas Project,
Units 1 and 2, located in Matagorda County, Texas.
The proposed amendment would have revised Technical Specification
3.7.1.6, Atmospheric Steam Relief Valves, to ensure the automatic
feature of the steam generator power operated relief valve remains
operable during Modes 1 and 2. In addition, the proposed change would
have added a surveillance requiring that a channel calibration on the
steam generator power operated relief valve be performed every 18
months. Subsequently, by letter dated January 19, 1999, the licensee
withdrew the amendment request.
The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on September
24, 1997 (62 FR 50007 ). However, by letter dated January 19, 1999, the
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
For further details with respect to this action, see the
application for amendment dated August 18, 1997, and the licensee's
letter dated January 19, 1999, which withdrew the application for
license amendment. 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 Wharton County Junior College, J.M. Hodges
Learning Center, 911 Boling Highway, Wharton, TX 77488.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 29th day of January 1999.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Thomas W. Alexion,
Project Manager, Project Directorate IV-1, Division of Reactor Projects
