E7-17600. Amergen Energy Company, LLC; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of AmerGen Energy Company, LLC (the licensee) to withdraw its November 16, 2006, application for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-62 for the Clinton Power Station, Unit No. 1, located in DeWitt County, Illinois.

The proposed amendment would have revised the facility technical specifications (TSs) pertaining to TS 3.6.5.1, “Drywell,” surveillance requirement, 3.6.5.1.3, to delay the performance of the next drywell bypass leakage rate test from the current requirement of November 23, 2008, to prior to startup from the Clinton Unit 1, refueling outage 12 (C1R12), projected for January 2010; and TS 5.5.13, “Primary Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program,” to delay the performance of the next primary containment Type A integrated leak rate test from the current requirement of no later than November 23, 2008, to prior to startup from the C1R12 refueling outage.

The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on January 30, 2007 (72 FR 4306). However, by letter dated April 30, 2007, the licensee withdrew the proposed change.

For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated November 16, 2006, and the licensee's letter dated April 30, 2007, which withdrew the application for license amendment.
