ENERW 3 T POINT BEACH November 19,2012 NRC 2012-0103 10 CFR 50.71(e) 10 CFR 54.37(b)

U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 Dockets 50-266 and 50-301 Renewed License Nos. DPR-24 and DPR-27 Correction to the Periodic Update of the Final Safetv Analvsis Report

Reference:

( I ) NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC letter to NRC, dated June 14, 2012, Periodic Update of the Final Safety Analysis Report By letter dated June 14,2012 (Reference I), NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (NextEra) submitted the periodic update to the Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP) Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR). Enclosure 2 of the above referenced letter, contained a report describing how the effects of aging of newly-identified structures, systems or components (SSCs) will be managed, as required by 10 CFR 54.37(b).

It has been determined that a newly identified system was inadvertently omitted from Enclosure 2 of the above referenced letter. This was due to not submitting an update to the PBNP FSAR in June of 2011.

Newlv Identified SSC In April 2011, using the guidance of RIS 2007-16, Revision I,PBNP staff reviewed changes to the plant that had taken place since the previous 10 CFR 54.37(b) review (September 2010) and equipment database information, to determine if any components installed in the plant at the time of License Renewal had not been previously evaluated for License Renewal purposes. This review specifically included the changes to the plant due to License Amendment Request (LAR) 241, Alternate Source Term, which was implemented during the Unit 2 refueling outage in spring 2011. LAR 241 made a specific commitment to include VNPAB (Primary Auxiliary Building Ventilation System) and CREFS (Control Room Emergency Filtration System) to the scope of License Renewal.

NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC, 6610 Nuclear Road, Two Rivers, WI 54241

This review determined that 21 components would be considered "newly identified" and subject to 10 CFR 54.37(b) reporting requirements. The 21 components are all from the VNPAB system.

All 21 components (ductwork, damper housings, filter housings, and fan housings) are already represented within the aging management tables submitted with the PBNP License Renewal Application (LRA) (specifically Table 3.3.2-9). It should be noted that the CREFS SSCs were already within the scope of License Renewal. The changes to the CREFS system did not affect the previous License Renewal boundaries for this system.

The 21 "newly identified" components have been assigned to existing Aging Management Programs and appropriate aging management strategies have been invoked to adequately detect and manage the applicable aging effects throughout the period of extended operation.

A list of the 21 components is not provided in this document consistent with the level of detail provided in the LRA.

This letter contains no new Regulatory Commitments and no revisions to existing Regulatory Commitments.
