E5-5329. Florida Power and Light 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 Florida Power and Light Company (the licensee) to withdraw its September 18, 2003, application for a proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-16 for the St. Lucie Plant, Unit No. 2, located in St. Lucie County, Florida.

The proposed amendment would have revised the licensing bases to utilize the alternate source term as allowed in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 50, section 67 for reanalysis of the radiological consequences of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report Chapter 15 accidents for St. Lucie Unit 2.

The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on October 28, 2003 (68 FR 61479). The Commission approved portions of the requested amendment as part of Amendment 138 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-16 on January 31, 2005. The Notice of Issuance was published in the Federal Register on February 15, 2005 (70 FR 7772). However, by letter dated August 11, 2005, the licensee withdrew the remaining portions of the proposed change that had not been approved in Amendment 138.

For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated September 18, 2003, and the licensee's letter dated August 11, 2005, which withdrew the application for license amendment.
