Exelon Nuclear Texas Holdings, LLC; Acceptance for Docketing of an Application for Combined License (Col) for Victoria County Station,

Units 1 and 2

On September 3, 2008, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) received a combined license (COL) application from

Exelon Nuclear Texas Holdings, LLC, dated September 2, 2008, filed pursuant to Section 103 of the Atomic Energy Act and Subpart C of Part 52, ``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power

Plants,'' of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 52). The site location is in Victoria County, Texas and identified as the Victoria County Station, Units 1 and 2. A notice of receipt and availability of this application was previously published in the

Federal Register (73 FR 56867 on September 30, 2008).

The NRC staff has determined that Exelon Nuclear Texas Holdings,

LLC has submitted information in accordance with 10 CFR Part 2, ``Rules of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings and Issuance of

Orders,'' and Part 52 that is sufficiently complete and acceptable for docketing. The docket numbers established for this application are 52- 031 (Unit 1) and 52-032 (Unit 2).

The NRC staff will perform a detailed technical review of the application. Docketing of the COL application does not preclude the NRC from requesting additional information from the applicant as the review proceeds, nor does it predict whether the Commission will grant or deny the application. The Commission will conduct a hearing in accordance with Subpart L of 10 CFR Part 2; the notice of hearing and opportunity to intervene will be published at a later date. The Commission will receive a report on the application from the Advisory Committee on

Reactor Safeguards in accordance with 10 CFR 52.87. If the Commission finds that the application meets the applicable standards of the Atomic

Energy Act and the Commission's regulations, and that required notifications to other agencies and bodies have been made, the

Commission will issue a COL, in the form and containing conditions and limitations that the Commission finds appropriate and necessary.

A copy of the application is available for public inspection at the

Commission's Public Document Room located at One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland. The application is also available at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new- reactors/col.html and is accessible electronically from the Agencywide

Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Public Electronic

Reading Room on the Internet at the NRC Web site, http://www.nrc.gov/ reading-rm/adams.html. (The ADAMS Accession No. for the application cover letter is ML082540469).
