NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-390]
License No. NPF-90, Tennessee Valley Authority Withdrawal of
Request for Action Under 10 CFR 2.206
Notice is hereby given that by letter dated August 5, 2003, Mr.
David Lochbaum (petitioner), on behalf of the Union of Concerned
Scientists (UCS), has withdrawn his May 30, 2003, request that the NRC
take action with regard to Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. The
[[Page 52801]]
petitioner had requested that the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the
licensee for Watts Bar, be required to provide specific information
relating to possible corrosion of the reactor coolant pressure boundary
at Watts Bar due to defects in the stainless steel cladding applied to
the interior surface of the carbon steel reactor pressure vessel to
provide corrosion resistance against the borated water used as reactor
coolant. The petitioner had also requested that the NRC (a) provide UCS
with copies of all correspondence sent to TVA regarding this petition
and the subject cladding defects at Watts Bar, (b) provide UCS with
advance notice of all NRC public meetings with TVA regarding this
petition and the subject cladding defects, (c) provide UCS with an
opportunity to participate in all relevant phone calls between NRC
staff and TVA regarding this petition and the subject cladding defects
at Watts Bar, and (d) provide UCS with copies of all correspondence
sent to Members of Congress and/or industry organizations (e.g., the
Nuclear Energy Institute, the Electric Power Research Institute, the
Institute for Nuclear Power Operations).
As the basis for this withdrawal, the petitioner states that the
UCS has reviewed the response provided by the licensee and finds it
fully responsive so that the Demand for Information is no longer
necessary.
Notice of the receipt of the request for action was published in
the Federal Register on July 9, 2003 (68 FR 41022). Copies of the
licensee's response and the withdrawal letter are available for
inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room (PDR) at One White
Flint North, Public File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first
floor), Rockville, Maryland. Publicly available records will be
accessible from the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System
(ADAMS) Public Electronic Reading Room on the Internet at the NRC Web
site, http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. Persons who do not
have access to ADAMS or who encounter problems in accessing the

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 28th day of August 2003.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
