NexEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC: Duane Arnold Energy Center

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has granted the request of NextEra Energy Duane Arnold, LLC (NextEra) to withdraw its application dated December 19, 2017, for a proposed amendment to Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC), Facility Operating License No. DPR-49. The proposed change would have added Technical Specifications (TS) 3.2.3, ``Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR),'' and modified TS 1.1, ``Definitions,'' TS 3.4.1, ``Recirculation Loops Operating,'' and TS 5.6.5, ``Core Operating Limits Report (COLR)'' to reflect the LHGR change. Modifications associated with TS 3.2.1, ``Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR),'' and the new TS 3.2.3 would also have been added to the actions for TS 3.3.4.1, ``End of Cycle Recirculation Pump Trip (EOC-RPT) Instrumentation,'' and TS 3.7.7, ``The Main Turbine Bypass System.'' Subsequently, by letter dated August 21, 2018, NextEra withdrew the amendment request.
