SUMMARY
OF SITE AUDIT TO SUPPORT REVIEW OF LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION FOR POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 An environmental review team consisting of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff and contractors from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) participated in a site audit at Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (PBNP) on June 16 through June 17, 2004, to support the review of the PBNP license renewal application. The team consisted of five LANL, five LLNL, two ANL, and five NRC staff members. The primary goal of the site visit was to review documentation, gather information to ensure that environmental requirements of license renewal as codified in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 51 (10 CFR Part 51) are met, and to interface with officials in Federal, State, and local government permitting and resource agencies to obtain related information. Attachment 1 is the list of NRC, LANL, LLNL, ANL, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC) and We Energies representatives that participated in the audit at the site. Attachment 2 is a table of documents provided to the staff by NMC to assist the staff in its review of the PBNP Environmental Report. These documents have been made publicly available, and can be found at the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) accession numbers listed in Attachment 2. ADAMS is accessible at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html, which provides access through the NRCs Public Electronic Reading Room (PERR) link.
Persons who do not have access to ADAMS, or who encounter problems in accessing the documents located in ADAMS, should contact the NRCs PDR Reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, or 301-415-4737, or by e-mail at pdr@nrc.gov.
The entire team participated in meetings and a general site tour with NMC staff on Wednesday, June 16, 2004. The site tour focused on areas relevant to the environmental review, including the meteorological tower, intake and discharge points, and spoils pile. During the rest of the site audit, review team members broke off into smaller groups with NMC representatives with corresponding environmental expertise. These groups participated in various activities, including tours of the radioactive waste processing areas, intake and discharge structures, and the transmission line corridors.
In addition, during the site audit, review team members met offsite with staff representing Federal, State and local government agencies, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Information gathered through these offsite meetings will assist the environmental review team in its evaluation. No major problem areas were identified during these discussions.
At the conclusion of the site visit, the NRC staff and LANL contractors participated in a summary exit meeting with NMC and We Energies representatives. The staff indicated that NMC provided an informative and well-represented site visit for the environmental review team.
The NRC staff indicated that the review team did not identify any significant issues during its site visit or the visits offsite with Federal, State, and local agencies. However, the staff further indicated that the review was ongoing, and that any additional information necessary to support the review would be formally requested as a request for additional information.
