NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[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 June 30, 1999, application for proposed amendment to 
Facility Operating License No. NPF-42 for the Wolf Creek Nuclear 
Generating Station, Unit 1, located in Coffey County, Kansas.
    The proposed amendment would have revised Technical Specification 
3.7.5 regarding the allowed value of the ultimate heat sink 
temperature. The Commission issued Amendment No. 125 on July 8, 1999, 
that revised the maximum allowed value of the ultimate heat sink 
temperature to 94 deg.F. In the June 30, 1999, letter, the licensee 
proposed a maximum plant inlet water temperature of 95 deg.F; however 
Amendment No. 125 only approved a maximum value of 94 deg.F to allow 
the amendment to be within the scope of the no significant hazards 
considerations published in the Federal Register on February 24, 1999 
(64 FR 9203) and to be issued before the hot weather period of July and 
August 1999 in and around the Wolf Creek Generating Station. The 
Commission issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment 
for the June 30, 1999, request that was published in the Federal 
Register on July 15, 1999 (64 FR 38221). However, by conference call of 
September 8, 1999, the licensee withdrew the proposed change because 
the hot weather period of 1999 had past.
    For further details with respect to this action, see the 
application for amendment dated June 30, 1999. The above document is 
available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document 
Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC, and at 
the local public document rooms located at the Emporia State 
University, William Allen White Library, 1200 Commercial Street, 
Emporia, Kansas 66801 and the Washburn University School of Law 
Library, Topeka, Kansas 66621.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22nd day of September 1999.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Senior Project Manager, Section 2, Project Directorate IV and
