NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-482]

Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation; Notice of Partial

Withdrawal of Application for Amendment to Facility Operating License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has granted

a request by Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (the licensee) to

withdraw part of its March 24, 1995, application for an amendment to

Facility Operating License No. NPF-42, issued to the licensee for

operation of the Wolf Creek Nuclear Generating Station, Unit No. 1,

located in Coffey County, Kansas. Notice of Consideration of Issuance

of this amendment was published in the Federal Register on April 12,

1995 (60 FR 18632).

The portion of the licensee's amendment request which is being

withdrawn is the revision of the Technical Specifications (TS) that

would change the allowed outage time (AOT) for other reasons of

accumulator inoperability from 1 hour to 24 hours.

Subsequently the licensee informed the staff that this portion of

the amendment will be resubmitted at a later time. Thus, this portion

of the amendment application is considered to be withdrawn by the

licensee.

For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the

application for amendment dated March 24, 1995, as supplemented by

letters dated July 26, 1995 and September 5, 1996, and (2) the staff's

letter dated July 21, 1998.

These documents are available for public inspection at the

Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street,

NW., Washington, DC and at the Emporia State University, Wiliam Allen

White Library, 1200 Commercial Street, Emporia, Kansas 66801 and

Washburn University School of Law Library, Topeka, Kansas 66621.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 21st day of July 1998.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
