          - [Docket Nos. 50-269, 50-270, and 50-287] 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted the request of Duke Energy Corporation (the licensee) to withdraw its June 7, 2002, application for proposed amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55, for Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, located in Oconee County, South Carolina. 

The proposed amendments would have revised the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report with regard to tornado mitigation. The proposed amendments would have eliminated credit for the flow path from the spent fuel pool to the high pressure injection pump following a tornado and would have credited the standby shutdown facility as the assured means of achieving safe shutdown following a tornado. 

                    The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment that was originally published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on July 23, 2002 (67 FR 48216). A revised Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment was published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on February 18, 2003 (67 FR 7814). However, by letter dated September 9, 2004, the licensee withdrew the proposed change.                 

For further details with respect to this action, see the application for amendment dated June 7, 2002, and the licensee's letter dated September 9, 2004, which withdrew the application for license amendment.
