NextEra has determined that additional time is required to implement the remaining 22 safety-related calculations. lmplementation of the remaining calculations into Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) will coincide with NextEra's implementation of the Westinghouse Owners Group Emergency Response Guidelines (ERG), Revision 2A guidance.

Annual Operating Exams and Biennial Written Exams will take place at Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP) during the Summer and Fall of 2012 on the current EOPs. To provide sufficient time to update procedures and provide training, implementation of the revised EOPs, including the remaining 22 safety-related calculations and the ERG, Revision 2A guidance, will begin following these 2012 examination periods. Licensed operator training classes for the revised EOPs are scheduled for Spring and Summer of 2013.
