NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Tennessee Valley Authority
[Docket No. 50-390]
Notice of Partial Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to
Facility Operating License
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted a
request by the Tennessee Valley Authority (the Licensee) to withdraw
the remainder of its October 23, 1996, application for proposed
amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-90 for the Watts Bar
Nuclear Plant, located in Rhea County, Tennessee.
The remaining portion of the application that was not approved by
license amendment number 6, issued on July 28, 1997, proposed the
installation of spent fuel racks in the cask pit area of the spent fuel
pool for an additional 225 storage spaces and the use of an impact
shield over the fuel in the cask pit when heavy loads are moved near or
across the cask pit area.
The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on April 2,
1997 (62 FR 15733). However, by letter dated July 22, 1999, the
licensee withdrew that portion of the proposed amendment related to
storage in the cask pit.
For further details with respect to this action, see the
application for amendment dated October 23, 1996, Amendment to Facility
Operating License Number 6 issued on July 28, 1997, and the licensee's
letter dated July 22, 1999. The above documents are 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 room located at the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Library, 1001
Broad Street, Chattanooga, TN 37402.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 1st day of September 1999.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Robert E. Martin,
Senior Project Manager, Section 2, Project Directorate II, Division of
Licensing Project Management, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
