NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[NRC-2011-0184; Docket No. 50-482]


Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation; Notice of Withdrawal of 
Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted 
the request of Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (the licensee) 
to withdraw its September 22, 2010 application, as supplemented by 
letter dated November 22, 2010, for proposed amendment to Renewed 
Facility Operating License No. NPF-42 for the Wolf Creek Generating 
Station (WCGS), located in Coffey County, Kansas.
    The proposed amendment would have revised the approved fire 
protection program as described in the WCGS Updated Safety Analysis 
Report (USAR). Specifically, the licensee requested approval for a 
deviation from a commitment to certain technical requirements of Title 
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), part 50, Appendix R, 
Section III.L.1, ``Alternative and dedicated shutdown capability,'' as 
described in Appendix 9.5E of the WCGS USAR. The change would have 
revised USAR Table 9.5E-1 to include information on reactor coolant 
system process variables not maintained within those predicted for a 
loss of normal AC (alternating current) power.
    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of 
Issuance of Amendment published in the Federal Register on December 28, 
2010 (75 FR 81673). However, by letter dated June 30, 2011, the 
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated September 22, 2010, as supplemented by 
letter dated November 22, 2010, and the licensee's letter dated June 
30, 2011, which withdrew the application for license amendment.
