NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2009-0246; Docket No. 50-382]
Entergy Operations Inc.; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for
Amendment to Facility Operating License
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted
the request of Entergy Operations Inc. (Entergy, the licensee), to
withdraw its September 17, 2008, application for proposed amendment to
Facility Operating License (FOL) No. NPF-38 for the Waterford Steam
Electric Station, Unit 3, located in St, Charles Parish, Louisiana.
The proposed amendment would have revised FOL to add a license
condition on the extension of the reactor vessel inservice inspection
(ISI) interval. This proposed license condition is the result of a
condition in the NRC safety evaluation (SE), issued by letter dated May
8, 2008, on Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG), topical report WCAP-16168-
NP, Revision 2, ``Risk-Informed Extension of the Reactor Vessel In-
Service Inspection Interval.'' The Pressurized Water Reactor Owners
Group, formerly known as WOG, issued WCAP-16168-NP-A (Approved),
Revision 2, on June 13, 2008, incorporating the NRC SE dated May 8,
2008. The ISI interval extension part of a relief request is being
separately evaluated by NRC and independent of this amendment request.
The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on November 4,
2008 (73 FR 65696). However, by letter dated June 3, 2009, the licensee
withdrew the proposed change.
For further details with respect to this action, see the
application for amendment dated September 17, 2008, and the licensee's
letter dated June 3, 2009, 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 North,
Public File Area O1 F21, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville,
