NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Tennessee Valley Authority; Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Unit 2

[Docket No. 50-328]


Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility 
Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Tennessee Valley Authority (the licensee) to withdraw 
its July 10, 2002, application for proposed amendment to Facility 
Operating License No. DPR-79 for the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Unit No. 
2, located in Hamilton County, Tennessee.
    The proposed one-time technical specification (TS) change would 
have revised the Sequoyah Unit 2 Limiting Condition for Operation for 
TS Section 3.7.4, ``Essential Raw Cooling Water System,'' to include 
provisions for maintaining operability of this system during 
performance of heavy load lifts associated with the Unit 1 steam 
generator replacement (SGR) project. The provisions were intended to 
ensure safe operation of Unit 2 during heavy load lift activities. In 
addition, compensatory measures proposed would have ensured safe 
shutdown capability of Unit 2 in the unlikely event a heavy load drop 
occurs over Essential Raw Cooling Water system piping.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on August 6, 
2002 (67 FR 50960). However, by letter dated November 15, 2002, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated July 10, 2002, and the licensee's 
letter dated November 15, 2002, which withdrew the application for 
license amendment. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, 
at the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR), located at One White Flint

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
