NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50-280 and 50-281]
Virginia Electric and Power Company; Surry Power Station, Unit
Nos. 1 and 2; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to
Facility Operating Licenses
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted
the request of Virginia Electric and Power Company (the licensee) to
withdraw its February 14, 2006, application for proposed amendment to
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-32 and DPR-37 for the Surry Power
Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (Surry 1 and 2), located in Surry County,
Virginia.
The proposed amendments would have revised the Technical
Specifications (TSs) pertaining to restricting the minimum cooling time
and burnup of spent fuel assemblies that will be placed into storage in
the NUHOMS HD spent fuel dry storage system at Surry 1 and 2 starting
in the summer of 2006. Specifically, the proposed amendments would add
Figure 5.4-2 to the TSs to ensure that the NUHOMS HD canister remains
subcritical during operations in the Surry 1 and 2 spent fuel pool.
The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of
Issuance of Amendments published in the Federal Register on May 16,
2006 (71 FR 28390). However, by letter dated March 12, 2007, the
licensee withdrew the proposed change.
For further details with respect to this action, see the
application for amendments dated February 14, 2006, and the licensee's
letter dated March 12, 2007, which withdrew the application for license
amendments. Documents may be examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the
