UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO.122 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-86 SEABROOK STATION, UNIT NO.1 DOCKET NO. 50-443

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By letter dated April 16, 2009 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML091110050), the licensee (FPL Energy Seabrook, LLC) submitted License Amendment Request (LAR) No. 09-02, requesting a change to the Operating License for Seabrook Station, Unit NO.1 (Seabrook). The proposed change would revise the license to reflect the change in the name of the licensee and co-owner from "FPL Energy Seabrook, LLC" to "NextEra Energy Seabrook, LLC."

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

The proposed change to the Operating License for Seabrook was submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Part 50, Section 50.90. The amendment is submitted for the purpose of changing the affected license documents to reflect a name change to NextEra Energy Seabrook, LLC.

The proposed change is administrative in nature and involves only a name change. The corporate existence continues uninterrupted, all legal characteristics remain the same and no transfer within the scope of 10 CFR 50.80 will occur with the proposed name change.

3.0 TECHNiCAL EVALUATION On January 7, 2009, FPL Energy, LLC was renamed NextEra Energy Resources, LLC. NextEra Energy Resources, LLC, remains an FPL Group, Inc., company. On April 16,2009, FPL Energy Seabrook, LLC was renamed NextEra Energy Seabrook, LLC.

The proposed amendment is for a name change only. The corporate existence continues uninterrupted and all legal characteristics remain the same. Thus, there is no change in the ownership, state of incorporation, registered agent, registered office, directors, officers, rights or liabilities of the corporation, nor is there a change, in the function of the corporation or the way in which it does business.

The corporation's financial responsibility for the facility, including decommissioning, and its sources of funds to support the facility remain the same.

- 2 The name change does not impact the corporation's ability to comply with any of its obligations or responsibilities under the Facility Operating License. The proposed change does not alter any technical content of the license or involve any change in the qualifications of the licensee.

The name change will have no impact on the design, function, or operation of any plant structures, systems, or components. Limiting Conditions for Operation, Limiting Safety System Settings and Safety Limits specified in the Technical Specifications will not be affected by the name change. Also, the updated final safety analysis will not be materially changed by the proposed name change. The current design basis and licensing basis will remain the same.

Based on the above, the NRC staff finds the proposed change administrative in nature and that it will not affect in any way the safe operation of Seabrook. Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed change to the license acceptable.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the New Hampshire and Massachusetts State officials were notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State officials provided no comments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The amendment provides for a name change only. Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.21, 51.32 and 51.35 an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact has been prepared and published in the Federal Register on August 10, 2009 (74 FR 39979). Accordingly, based on the environmental assessment, the Commission has determined that the issuance of this amendment will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.

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 the operation in the proposed manner; (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations; and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
