E5-2052. Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Renewed Facility Operating License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Inc. (the licensee) to withdraw its June 7, 2004, application for proposed amendment to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-53 and No. DPR-69, for the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, located in Lusby, MD.

The proposed amendment would have revised Technical Specification 3.9.4, “Shutdown Cooling and Coolant Circulation-High Water Level,” to incorporate the use of an alternate cooling method to function as a path for decay heat removal when in Mode 6 with the refueling pool fully flooded.

The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on November 29, 2004 (69 FR 69417). However, by letter dated March 30, 2005, the licensee withdrew the proposed change.

For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated June 7, 2004, and the licensee's letter dated March 30, 2005, which withdrew the application for license amendment.
