Point Beach Unit 2 C-2 Amendment No. 241 I

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 237 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-24 AND AMENDMENT NO. 241 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 April 17, 2009, as supplemented by letter dated January 19, 2010 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession Nos. ML091070535 and ML100200089, respectively), FPL Energy Point Beach, LLC (the licensee), requested changes to the Operating License and Technical Specifications (TSs) for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), Units 1 and 2. The proposed changes would revise the license to reflect the change in the name of the licensee and owner from "FPL Energy Point Beach, LLC" to "NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC" and correct a typographical error in Appendix C from "FPLE Group Capital" to "FPL Group Capital."

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

The proposed changes to the Renewed Operating License for PBNP 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 Point Beach, LLC and correction of a typographical error.

The proposed changes are administrative in nature and involve only a name change and correction of a typographical error. 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.

Enclosure

- 2

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 Point Beach, LLC was renamed NextEra Energy Point Beach, 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.

The name change does not impact the corporation's ability to comply with any of its obligations or responsibilities under the Renewed 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 TSs 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.

By Order dated July 31, 2007, the NRC approved the transfer of PBNP to FPL Energy Point Beach, LLC and the associated conforming amendments. On September 28,2007, the conforming amendments (Amendment Nos. 228 and 233 for Units 1 and 2, respectively) were issued. In these amendments, the NRC included a license condition which contained a typographical error that stated "FPLE Group Capital" instead of "FPL Group Capital." This was clearly a typographical error as the licensee's application states the correct name is "FPL Group Capital." Furthermore, the NRC staff recognized this as the correct name, as it was referenced multiple times throughout the Order and Safety Evaluation.

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

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 May 6,2010 (75 FR 24997). Accordingly, based on the

- 3 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 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.
