SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 231 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-24 AND AMENDMENT NO. 236 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-27 FPL ENERGY POINT BEACH, LLC POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-266 AND 50-301
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, Commission) dated July 12, 2007 (Agencywide Documents and Access Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML071940423), Nuclear Management Company (the licensee) requested changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) for Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), Units 1 and 2. The information provided was supplemented by a letter response to a request for additional information dated October, 8, 2007 (ML072820335) from FPL Energy Point Beach, LLC (to whom the license had been transferred since the July 12, 2007, application). The supplement dated October 8, 2007, provided additional information that clarified the application, did not expand the scope of the application as originally noticed, and did not change the staff=s original proposed no significant hazards consideration determination as published in the Federal Register on August 28, 2007 (72 FR 49580).
The requested amendments would delete the TS Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.6.3.1 for verifying every 31 days that each Containment purge supply and exhaust valve is closed with their control switches locked, except for one purge valve in a penetration flow path when performing leakage rate corrective maintenance.
Due to the difficulty in keeping the 36-inch purge penetrations within leakage limits, blind flanges have been used to meet PBNP TS Required Action A.1 (or B.1). Because there is no time limit associated with Required Action A.1 (or B.1), the units remained in Condition A (or B) for extended periods of time during Modes 1 through 4 for these penetrations. With implementation of Plant Modifications MR 04-018 and MR 04-019 Replacement of Purge Supply/Return Valves Inside Containment the normal Containment configuration now has blind flanges installed on the inboard side of the purge penetrations. These flanges have double o-ring gaskets to allow for the Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50 Appendix J required local leak rate test of the penetrations. The proposed amendment would delete SR 3.6.3.1 as it is no longer needed since the normal plant configuration now uses blind flanges for isolation of the purge penetrations for Containment integrity and not the purge valves.

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
Section 50.36 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Technical Specifications, is the Commissions regulatory requirement that TSs are needed and are required to include items in the following five specific categories related to station operation: (1) safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting control settings, (2) limiting conditions for operation (LCOs), (3) SRs, (4) design features, and (5) administrative controls. The rule states that The technical specifications will be derived from the analyses and evaluation included in the safety analysis report, and amendments thereto, but does not specify the particular requirements to be included in a plants TSs. As stated in 10 CFR 50.36(d)(2), the Limiting Conditions for Operation are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility and Surveillance Requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions for operation will be met.
In their amendment request, the licensee identified the applicable regulatory requirements related to containment isolation and testing as provided in 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix J, Primary Reactor Containment Leakage Testing for Water-Cooled Power Reactors. PBNP updated Final Safety Analyses Report (FSAR) Section 1.3 identifies the design bases of the plant. Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 50 contains general design criteria (GDC) which were published in 1971 after the Point Beach construction permits were issued. The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) published proposed GDC for public comment in 1967. The Atomic Industrial Forum (AIF) reviewed these proposed criteria and recommended changes. The PBNP GDC are similar in content to the AIF version of the AECs Proposed 1967 GDC, and are explicitly identified in Table 1.3-1 of the Point Beach FSAR. Consideration of these GDC was pertinent to the development of plant modifications MR 04-018 and MR 04-019, but is not directly applicable to evaluation of the requested amendment.
With the purge valves no longer containment isolation valves (required for containment operability in Modes 1 through 4), the proposed change is consistent with the provisions of NUREG-1431 Standard Technical Specifications Westinghouse Plants for Section 3.6.3 (Containment Isolation Valves) which is applicable in plant operating Modes 1, 2, 3 and 4.
However, the purge penetrations remain subject to the requirements of PBNP TS 3.6.1 (Containment) and TS 3.9.3 (REFUELING OPERATIONS - Containment Penetrations) as well as TS Program 5.5.15 (Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program). In their July 12, 2007, amendment request, the licensee committed to updating their FSAR classification of the purge penetrations to show the change from having two valves or one valve and one flange provide the redundant barriers in these penetrations to having the single flange with the double, local leakage rate tested, o-ring gaskets providing the redundant barrier arrangement.
The licensee identified as precedents license amendments issued on February 14, 2006, for Palo Verde Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3 (ML070470255) and on August 4, 2006, for Salem Generating Station Units 1 and 2 (ML070710178). This evaluation is consistent with those actions.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
During Modes 5 and 6 the PBNP Containment Purge System provides for supply of conditioned fresh air (filtered and when needed, heated) to the containment for personnel habitability and for filtered and monitored exhaust of the containment atmosphere via the containment stack. The 36-inch supply and exhaust line penetrations were originally provided with inboard and outboard automatic containment isolation valves. However, these valves were not qualified as capable of automatic closure at design-basis accident (DBA) conditions and were maintained closed with the control switches locked when in Modes 1 through 4. With implementation of Plant Modifications MR 04-018 and MR 04-019, the inboard valves were removed and replaced with blank flanges during Modes 1 through 4 when containment isolation operability is required.
These blank flanges have double o-ring gaskets and are 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix J local leakage rate tested by pressurizing between the gaskets. With these modifications the existing PBNP TS SR 3.6.3.1 for verifying that these valves are closed with the control switch locked each 31 days while in Modes 1 through 4 is no longer needed.
3.1 Summary The NRC staff has reviewed the licensees proposed amendment to delete SR 3.6.3.1 and finds that the change complies with the applicable regulatory requirements and is consistent with the plants current design and licensing basis and is acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Wisconsin State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments. The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
These amendments change a surveillance requirement. The staff has determined that the amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts and no significant change in the types of any effluent that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously published a proposed finding that these amendments involve no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding (72 FR 49580).
Accordingly, these amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of these amendments.
6.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
