NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-482]
Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation; Notice of Withdrawal of
Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted
the request of Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (the licensee)
to withdraw its June 30, 1999, application for proposed amendment to
Facility Operating License No. NPF-42 for the Wolf Creek Nuclear
Generating Station, Unit 1, located in Coffey County, Kansas.
The proposed amendment would have revised Technical Specification
3.7.5 regarding the allowed value of the ultimate heat sink
temperature. The Commission issued Amendment No. 125 on July 8, 1999,
that revised the maximum allowed value of the ultimate heat sink
temperature to 94 deg.F. In the June 30, 1999, letter, the licensee
proposed a maximum plant inlet water temperature of 95 deg.F; however
Amendment No. 125 only approved a maximum value of 94 deg.F to allow
the amendment to be within the scope of the no significant hazards
considerations published in the Federal Register on February 24, 1999
(64 FR 9203) and to be issued before the hot weather period of July and
August 1999 in and around the Wolf Creek Generating Station. The
Commission issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment
for the June 30, 1999, request that was published in the Federal
Register on July 15, 1999 (64 FR 38221). However, by conference call of
September 8, 1999, the licensee withdrew the proposed change because
the hot weather period of 1999 had past.
For further details with respect to this action, see the
application for amendment dated June 30, 1999. The above document is
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 rooms located at the Emporia State
University, William Allen White Library, 1200 Commercial Street,
Emporia, Kansas 66801 and the Washburn University School of Law
Library, Topeka, Kansas 66621.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22nd day of September 1999.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
