E7-6138. Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc. (the licensee) to withdraw its April 6, 2006, application for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. DPR-43 for the Kewaunee Power Station, located in Kewaunee County, Wisconsin.

The proposed amendment would have revised the facility Updated Safety Analysis Report to allow the use of a different methodology for determining the design requirements necessary for protecting safety-related equipment from damage by tornado generated missiles.

The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on May 23, 2006 (71 FR 29673). However, by letter dated March 19, 2007, the licensee withdrew the proposed change.

For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated April 6, 2006, and the licensee's letter dated March 19, 2007, which withdrew the application for license amendment.
