The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (the licensee) to withdraw its December 17, 2001, as supplemented by letter dated June 4, 2002, application for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-3 for the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1, located in Ottawa County, Ohio.
The proposed amendment would have modified the facility technical specifications (TS) pertaining to TS 3/4.3.1, “Reactor Protection System (RPS) Instrumentation,” to delete an Action involving either reducing core thermal power and the high neutron flux reactor trip setpoint, or monitoring quadrant power tilt when an RPS channel is inoperable. Additionally, changes were proposed to the content and format of TS Tables 3.3-1 and 4.3-1 to enhance TS clarity.
The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on November 25, 2003 (68 FR 66136). However, by letter dated November 26, 2003, the licensee withdrew the amendment request.
For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated December 17, 2001, as supplemented by letter dated June 4, 2002, and the licensee's letter dated November 26, 2003, which withdrew the application for license amendment.
