POINT BEACH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNTIS 1 AND 2, ACCEPTANCE REVIEW FOR LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST NUMBER 247 SPENT FUEL POOL CRITICALITY CONTROL (TAC NOS. MD9321 AND MD9322)

Dear Mr. Meyer:

By letter dated July 24, 2008, to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), FPL Energy Point Beach, LLC (FPL, the licensee) submitted a license amendment application to revise the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), Units 1 and 2, licensing basis to reflect a revision to the spent fuel pool (SFP) criticality analysis methodology. The NRC staff reviewed your application and found that supplemental information was needed to complete the acceptance review. By letter dated September 19, 2008, you provided the supplemental information.

The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the NRC staff review of the supplemental information. The NRC staff reviewed the supplemental information and together with the application concluded that the documents provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendments in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. If additional information is needed for the NRC staff to complete its technical review, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

If you have any questions, please contact me, at (301) 415-1424.

Sincerely,

/RA/
