NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Numbers 052-031 and 052-032]


Exelon Nuclear Texas Holdings, LLC; Acceptance for Docketing of 
an Application for Combined License (Col) for Victoria County Station, 
Units 1 and 2

    On September 3, 2008, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, 
the Commission) received a combined license (COL) application from 
Exelon Nuclear Texas Holdings, LLC, dated September 2, 2008, filed 
pursuant to Section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act and Subpart C of Part 
52, ``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power 
Plants,'' of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 
52). The site location is in Victoria County, Texas and identified as 
the Victoria County Station, Units 1 and 2. A notice of receipt and 
availability of this application was previously published in the 
Federal Register (73 FR 56867 on September 30, 2008).
    The NRC staff has determined that Exelon Nuclear Texas Holdings, 
LLC has submitted information in accordance with 10 CFR Part 2, ``Rules 
of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings and Issuance of 
Orders,'' and Part 52 that is sufficiently complete and acceptable for 
docketing. The docket numbers established for this application are 52-
031 (Unit 1) and 52-032 (Unit 2).
    The NRC staff will perform a detailed technical review of the 
application. Docketing of the COL application does not preclude the NRC 
from requesting additional information from the applicant as the review 
proceeds, nor does it predict whether the Commission will grant or deny 
the application. The Commission will conduct a hearing in accordance 
with Subpart L of 10 CFR Part 2; the notice of hearing and opportunity 
to intervene will be published at a later date. The Commission will 
receive a report on the application from the Advisory Committee on 
Reactor Safeguards in accordance with 10 CFR 52.87. If the Commission 
finds that the application meets the applicable standards of the Atomic 
Energy Act and the Commission's regulations, and that required 
notifications to other agencies and bodies have been made, the 
Commission will issue a COL, in the form and containing conditions and 
limitations that the Commission finds appropriate and necessary.
    A copy of the application is available for public inspection at the 
Commission's Public Document Room located at One White Flint North, 
11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland. The 
application is also available at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/col.html and is accessible electronically 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. (The ADAMS Accession No. for the application 
cover letter is ML082540469). Persons who do not have access to ADAMS, 
or who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, 
should contact the NRC Public Document Room staff by telephone at 1-
(800)-397-4209, (301)-415-4737 or by e-mail to [email protected].

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day of October 2008.
