NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-461; NRC-2016-0245]


Exelon Generation Company LLC; Clinton Power Station, Unit 1

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: License amendment application; withdrawal by applicant.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has granted the 
request of Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon, the licensee), to 
withdraw its application dated August 11, 2016, for a proposed 
amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-62. The proposed 
amendment request would have eliminated the on-shift positions not 
needed for storage of the spent fuel in the spent fuel pool during the 
initial decommissioning period and the emergency response organization 
positions not needed to respond to credible events. Additionally the 
licensee proposed to revise the emergency action levels (EALs) to 
reflect those conditions applicable when the unit is in a permanently 
defueled condition.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC has granted the request of Exelon to 
withdraw its application dated August 11, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML16224A895), for a proposed amendment to Facility Operating License 
No. NPF-62 for the Clinton Power Station, Unit 1, located in DeWitt 
County, Illinois. The proposed amendment request would eliminated the 
on-shift positions not needed for storage of the spent fuel in the 
spent fuel pool during the initial decommissioning period and the 
emergency response organization positions not needed to respond to 
credible events. Additionally the licensee is proposing to revise the 
EALs to reflect those conditions applicable when the unit is in a 
permanently defueled condition. The Commission has previously issued a 
proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards 
consideration published in the Federal Register on December 6, 2016 (81

No. ML16349A314), the licensee requested to withdraw the proposed

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
