Dear Mr. Hale:

This e-mail is in reference to the NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (the licensee) submittal of a license amendment request (LAR)-261 dated April 7, 2009 (ADAMS Accession No. ML1091250564), to increase each units licensed thermal power level from 1540 megawatts thermal to 1800 megawatts thermal, and revise Technical Specifications to support operation at the increased thermal power level.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff in the Health Physics and Human Performance Branch (IHPB) of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation has determined that additional information is required to continue its review. In an effort to complete the review, the staff provided you a list of issues for clarification and discussion. A conference call was held on August 10, 2010, between the licensee and NRC staff to discuss the issues in further detail. As a result of the conference call, the IHPB staff determined that RAIs were necessary to continue its technical review. The draft RAIs are provided as an attachment to this e-mail.

If required, the NRC staff can further discuss the draft RAIs with you in another conference call or meeting. Among other things, the discussion would include how the NRC would formally issue these questions and how the licensee will respond to them, including a proposed date for a formal response. If you decide that further discussion of the draft RAIs is unnecessary, I would still request a proposed date for the licensees formal response.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely, Terry A. Beltz, Senior Project Manager Plant Licensing Branch III-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (301) 415-3049 Terry.Beltz@nrc.gov E-mail Properties Mail Envelope Properties ()
